As typical dynamic loads, electric vehicles (EVs) introduce significant uncertainty into distribution network operations due to the randomness of their travel behavior and charging demand. To achieve precise spatiotemporal forecasting of charging loa...

This study investigates drivers’ visual attention strategies during naturalistic urban driving using mobile eye-tracking (Pupil Labs Neon). A sample of experienced drivers participated in a realistic traffic scenario to examine fixation behavio...

Stable attitude control of unmanned or autonomous operations of vehicles moving in three spatial dimensions is essential for safe and reliable operations. Rigid body attitude control is inherently a nonlinear control problem, as the Lie group of rigi...

Traditional low-cost DC drives, such as Buck converter-fed DC drives, do not take into consideration the power quality requirements regarding the total harmonic distortion (THD) and the input power factor (PF). This paper proposes a high-performance...

Traffic congestion continues to pose a significant challenge to contemporary urban transportation systems, exerting substantial effects on economic productivity, environmental sustainability, and the overall quality of life. This systematic literatur...

This paper presents a detailed experimental evaluation of a newly developed diesel fuel additive, specifically formulated to enhance the energy efficiency and emission characteristics of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, with particular emph...

The paper primarily focuses on the control strategy of an electric dump truck equipped with an M100 methanol range extender. In response to the significant adverse impact of the constant power control strategy on the lifespan of power batteries and t...

This study investigated the impact of converting High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes on fundamental traffic flow characteristics, focusing on speed, density, and flow relationships. A 25-mile HOV corridor along I-24...

For vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) control of distributed-propulsion, fixed-wing UAVs exhibiting strong nonlinearity and aerodynamic/propulsive coupling, traditional linearization methods incur significant modeling errors in pitch–roll cou...

This paper presents a fault-tolerant control strategy that dynamically reconfigures the proposed system, and the inverter leg with a fault is isolated through a MOSFET-based clamping branch. With the use of a modified Vector Control (VC) and Pulse-Wi...
