Rutting is a critical form of pavement distress that compromises driving safety and long-term structural integrity. Traditional detection methods predominantly rely on cross-sectional measurements and high-cost inertial navigation-assisted laser scan...
The combination of pavement rutting, poor road alignment, and extreme adverse weather will seriously threaten the driving safety of vehicles, whereas only a few of these factors are commonly concerned. This study aims to efficiently evaluate the impa...
Intestinal mucositis, characterized by inflammatory and/or ulcerative processes in the gastrointestinal tract, occurs due to cellular and tissue damage following treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Rutin (RUT), a natural flavonoid extracted from Di...
Commercial polymers have been used in pavement modification for decades; however, a major drawback of these polymers is their high cost. Waste plastic polymers could be used as a sustainable and cost-effective additive for improving asphalt propertie...
Traffic loads and environmental factors cause various forms of distress on road pavements (cracks, depressions, potholes, ruts, etc.). Depressions and ruts produce localized variations of longitudinal and cross slopes, which are very hazardous for dr...
Road infrastructure is a critical component of modern society, with its maintenance directly influencing traffic safety and logistical efficiency. In this context, automated crack detection technology plays a vital role in reducing maintenance costs...
In the field of autonomous driving, the accurate identification of drivable areas on roads is the key to ensuring the safe driving of vehicles. However, unstructured roads lack clear lane lines and regular road structures, and they have fuzzy edges a...
Abstract: Lane marking detection and localization are crucial for autonomous driving and lane-based pavement surveys. Numerous studies have been done to detect and locate lane markings with the purpose of advanced driver assistance systems, in which...
Suitable evaluation of distress is beneficial to understanding the in situ performance of deck pavement. This study attempts to evaluate the long-term in situ performance of American ChemCo epoxy asphalt concrete on the Xihoumen Bridge (XHMB) after 1...
Roads are a strategic asset of a country and are of great importance for the movement of passengers and goods. Increasing traffic volume and load, together with the aging of roads, creates various types of anomalies on the road surface. This work pro...
Road maintenance management aims to satisfy quality, comfort, and safety requirements for the various assets. To overcome delays and barriers in the widespread adoption of road management systems, the Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach may...
Safety performance is a crucial component of highway network performance evaluation. Besides their devastating impact on roadway users, traffic crashes lead to substantial economic losses on both personal and societal levels. Due to the complexity of...
This study aims to prepare a graphene quantum dots (GQDs)/styrene-butadiene segmented copolymer composite (GQDs/SBS) as an asphalt modifier using the Pickering emulsion polymerization method. The physicochemical properties of the GQDs/SBS modifier an...
Conventional PMSs often rely on static age-based assumptions, which can fail to capture nonlinear, state-dependent deterioration and improvement-like responses observed in long-term monitoring data. This study addresses these limitations by proposing...
To address the challenges of decarbonization in the global transportation sector and disposal of waste tires, warm asphalt rubber (WAR) with low viscosity and high performance was prepared. In particular, the preparation and rheological behavior of W...
