This article presents the fundamentals of an analytical method for determining the stress–strain state of a railway subgrade reinforced with geosynthetic material. The reinforcement described is a combined system where the geosynthetic material...

Urban air mobility (UAM) has recently emerged as a promising new transportation mode, with various potential use cases. Facility location problems are well studied and of significant importance for various transportation modes. This work introduces a...

Uncertainties in traffic flows pose significant challenges for the accurate fatigue safety assessment of bridge structures. Fatigue analysis requires detailed information on heavy vehicle-induced loads, which can be obtained from weigh-in-motion (WIM...

This study explores the implementation and impact of autonomous vehicle (AV) systems, particularly in developing countries. While AVs promise enhanced road safety by reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities, their adoption faces significant challen...

Load rating, using nominated rating vehicles by individual road authorities, is described in the Australian standard for bridge assessment, AS 5100.7, for all load effects, including shear. The load rating can be used to indicate the strength conditi...

This pilot study investigated whether good and bad access to waterbodies and parks have different impacts on walking and cycling in neighborhoods in urban areas. Focusing on Paris, France, the neighborhoods were classified based on their access to th...

The increasing penetration of autonomous vehicles (AVs) presents new challenges and opportunities for road safety. This study aims to evaluate the impact of AV penetration rates on traffic safety through the use of microscopic simulation scenarios ba...

Since the Fourth Industrial Revolution was announced in 2015, relevant key technologies have recently merged and have extensively affected our society. To provide empirical insights into the future and address expected issues in the context of transp...

Landslides are a common occurrence that results in both human and financial losses each year around the world. The conventional methods use a variety of techniques, such as the application of lime, cement, and fly ash, for slope stabilization. Nevert...

The structural integrity of concrete arch dams is critical to ensuring their long-term stability and safety, particularly under seasonal thermal variations. In this study, the effect of contraction and construction joint quality on the static perform...
