Drop Impact Phenomena: An Experimental Study of Isooctane Interaction with Dry Walls and Liquid Films

2026-01-5015

7/13/2026

In this study, high-speed back-illuminated imaging and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) methods were employed to investigate the impingement behavior of millimeter-sized single isooctane drops on a dry solid wall and various liquid films, including isooctane and glycerol solution films of different concentrations. Various fuel spray impingement scenarios in gasoline direct injection engines were examined. High-speed back-illuminated imaging was primarily used to examine the impact of fuel drops on a dry wall and a fuel film of the same composition as the drops. The LIF method was used to examine the impact of fuel drops on the glycerol solution film, allowing for the distinction between fuel drops and the glycerol solution film. The impingement behavior varied depending on the Weber number of the incident drop and the wall condition. When fuel drops impacted the solid dry wall vertically, they spread into a circular liquid film. The outer edge of the liquid film folded and bulged, and

On Disturbance-Aware Minimum-Time Trajectory Planning: Evidence from Tests on a Dynamic Driving Simulator

10-10-03-0026

7/13/2026

This work aims to investigate how disturbance-aware, robustness-embedding reference trajectories translate into actual driving performance when executed by professional drivers in a dynamic driving simulator. The study compares three planned reference trajectories against a free-driving baseline (NO-REF) to assess the trade-offs between lap time (LT) performance and steering effort: NOM, the nominal time-optimal trajectory; TLC, a track-limit-robust, time-optimal trajectory obtained by tightening margins to the track edges; and FLC, a friction-limit-robust, time-optimal trajectory obtained by tightening against axle/tire saturation. All reference trajectories share the same minimum LT objective with a small steering-smoothness regularizer, and are evaluated with two professional drivers driving a high-performance car on a virtual track. The reference trajectories stem from a disturbance-aware minimum-LT framework recently proposed by some of the authors, where worst-case disturbance

Research on Age-Friendly Design Strategies for Autonomous Buses Based on Service Design Concepts

2026-99-0536

7/10/2026

In the context of the accelerating development of an aging society, the inconvenient mobility of the elderly conflicts with the design of existing vehicles. The promotion and development of autonomous vehicles can provide solutions to this conflict to a certain extent. But existing autonomous vehicles lack a systematic age-friendly design. This study is based on a service design idea and employs the KJKANO hybrid model. The KJ method is used to construct a three-tier demand framework of “safety-function-emotion.” The KANO method is applied to identify the priority classification of each demand within the tiered framework. The study derives an aging-friendly design strategy for autonomous buses that prioritizes safety demands as the foundation, with functionality and emotional demands balanced accordingly. These strategies are then implemented in design practice. This study provides a user-centered systematic solution for the age-friendly design of autonomous buses, offering insights

Simulation Analysis of Pure Electric Vehicle Equipped with Continuously Variable Transmission

2026-99-0522

7/10/2026

This study looks into the performance traits of a pure electric car that has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) system by doing careful simulations. The research is mostly about checking how well it performs dynamically and how much better its energy efficiency is compared to regular designs. With the help of AVL Cruise software, a detailed drivetrain model was made to test things like how fast it can accelerate, its top speed, how well it climbs hills, and how much energy it uses when driven in standard ways. The simulation results show some big improvements: the CVT car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.92 seconds, which is 14% quicker than expected; it can reach a top speed of 179 km/h, 15% higher than planned; and it can climb really steep hills at a 41.33% gradient. The energy efficiency analysis also found that it uses less power, consuming just 15.88 kWh per 100km under NEDC conditions and 13.72 kWh per 100km in UDC cycles, which are 21% and 24% less than before.

Study on the Effect of Flap Parameters on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Marine Flap Rudder

2026-99-0526

7/10/2026

By tweaking the flap’s deflection angle, the flap rudder significantly enhances the hydrodynamic performance. This study investigates the influence of the location of the flap rotation axis and the size of the flap’s deflection affect how well the rudder performs in the water, using computer simulations to obtain high-resolution flow-field data. The results demonstrate that the flap rudder consistently generates more lift than your standard rudder. Prior to stall, pushing the flap rotation axis further back results in less lift, but also less drag. For maximum lift at small or moderate angles of attack, a rotation axis located at 0.75 c provides the highest lift coefficient, whereas the 0.85 c configuration combined with δ = 25° offers the best compromise between postponed stall and maintained lift-to-drag ratio. Put the pivot at 85% chord and set the flap deflection to 25 degrees, and an optimal configuration is achieved in terms of lift and drag. The configuration yields a stall

Traffic Flow Prediction System Based on Deep Learning

2026-99-0549

7/10/2026

Traffic flow prediction is of great significance for improving the operation efficiency of the transportation system, optimizing travel experience and reducing traffic congestion. Traditional traffic flow prediction methods are difficult to capture the spatio-temporal nonlinear characteristics of traffic flow due to its simple model and insufficient feature extraction ability. Therefore, an intelligent traffic flow prediction system based on deep learning is proposed, constructs a deep learning model based on graph convolution and fusion of attention mechanism LSTM. Based on this, a traffic flow prediction system is implemented. Experiments show that, on the PeMSD4 and PeMSD4 datasets, the error of the model in RMSE and Mae indicators is significantly reduced compared with the traditional methods, which provides an efficient solution for traffic flow prediction and congestion analysis, and has both theoretical innovation and engineering practical value.

An Exploration of the Potential of Urban Linear Space under the Background of Fully Autonomous Vehicle System in Beijing

2026-99-0551

7/10/2026

The technology of autonomous vehicles has become the bellwether for the next transportation evolution. Based on the system of level 5 autonomous vehicles (fully autonomous vehicles), there will be space released from the existing urban context, including linear space, nodular space, and intersected space because of the enhancement of transportation efficiency and organization. The study took Beijing as an example to explore the linear space releasing potential under fully Autonomous Vehicles system to provide a reference for future urban planning. Considering saturation flow rate, speed, parallel throughput, vehicle occupancy, and safe headway, we quantitatively analyzed the potential release from various types of urban roads. The results shows that the expressways, arterial roads, secondary arterial roads, and branch roads could release up to 50%, 66% 50%, and 75% of the road space, respectively. The study verified that fully AV system can release great amount of public space, and

Human-Machine Ergonomics Analysis of Civil Aircraft Electric Pilot Seats

2026-99-0570

7/10/2026

This paper uses a structured evaluation framework to study the ergonomics of electric pilot seats in modern civil aircraft. We have established a multi-level indicator system to examine the adjustability, pressure distribution, dynamic response and, fatigue relief effect of the seat. All experimental data were obtained from a full-scale cockpit simulator environment, where a ground-based mock-up and motion-free simulated cockpit were used to replicate real operational posture, control-reach conditions, and long-duration mission loads. This framework combines experimental measurement and fuzzy evaluation techniques to quantify the quality of human-computer interaction. Test results show that compared with ordinary seats, the prototype seat has a wider adjustment range, a more uniform pressure distribution, and a smoother dynamic response. It is particularly worth mentioning that it can delay the emergence of fatigue during long-term operation, which proves the advantages of the electric

Fuel Savings from Predictive Charge Control Based on Short-Trip Duration in Series Hybrid Electric Vehicles

14-15-03-0015

7/10/2026

Series hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) employ an electric motor for propulsion, while the internal combustion engine operates solely as a generator under energy-efficient speed and load conditions. Owing to this architecture, series HEVs can achieve high fuel efficiency with a relatively simple control structure. However, conventional energy management systems (EMSs) often prioritize battery state-of-charge (SOC) stabilization, which can lead to frequent engine start–stop operations and unnecessary fuel consumption, particularly in short-trip driving. This study aims to enhance energy management performance in series HEVs by optimizing engine power generation timing based on predicted short-trip duration. A computationally efficient, rule-based prediction model is developed using real-world driving data, in which short-trip duration is estimated from vehicle speed and acceleration. Due to its low computational load, the proposed model is suitable for implementation in an onboard

With the development of domestic vessel traffic service (VTS) systems, China has established a comprehensive maritime traffic management infrastructure. Marine sensing equipment, including radar, the automatic identification system (AIS), and electro-optical (EO) systems, provides diverse sources of ship information. In recent years, data fusion technology has attracted increasing attention for its potential to improve the accuracy and completeness of ship perception. This paper introduces key ship information sensing technologies and examines the distinct characteristics of each approach. It then reviews recent advances in three main areas: vision-based ship feature recognition, multi-source data association analysis, and ship motion prediction. Finally, the paper outlines prospective research directions, including the integration of additional data sources, real-time data processing, enhanced data security, and intelligent maritime decision-making.
