Some European Heavy Duty (HD) vehicle manufacturers have adopted Open Crankcase Ventilation (OCV) systems to improve reliability and performance. The emission compliance of HD vehicles both during certification and In-Service Conformity (ISC) testing...

This study presents a predictive maintenance framework for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) based on emissions behaviour under laboratory-simulated driving conditions. Vehicle speed, road gradient, and ambient temperature were selected as the principa...

To improve recognition accuracy, convergence speed, and numerical stability in estimating the road adhesion coefficient for distributed-drive electric vehicles, a nonlinear seven-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model was developed based on a modif...

Traffic accidents pose unpredictable and severe social and economic challenges. Rapid and accurate accident detection, along with reliable severity classification, is essential for timely emergency response and improved road safety. This study propos...

This paper presents an experimental study of the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system, focusing on three essential testing phases: verifying the match between calculated and actual brake actuator operation time, validating the forecasted vs. real...

This study confronts the significant challenges inherent in Traffic State Estimation (TSE) for rural arterial networks, where sparse sensor coverage and complex, dynamic traffic flows complicate effective management and safety assurance. Traditional...

The air–ground integrated Internet of Vehicles (IoV), which incorporates unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), is a key component of a three-dimensional intelligent transportation system. Task offloading is crucial to improving the overall efficienc...

Collisions with fallen pedestrians pose a lethal challenge to current advanced driver-assistance systems. This paper introduces and quantitatively validates the Advanced Falling Object Detection System (AFODS), a novel safety framework designed to mi...

The straightness of rail joints is one of the critical factors affecting passenger comfort in high-speed railways, and investigating its influence on the dynamic performance of the vehicle–track system and riding comfort is of great significanc...

The optimization of clutch engagement strategies is of great significance for improving vehicle power performance, fuel economy, and driving comfort. Traditional control strategies are difficult to adapt to complex working conditions and lack coordin...
