We present a novel processing approach to extract a ship traffic flow framework in order to cope with problems such as large volume, high noise levels and complexity spatio-temporal nature of AIS data. We preprocess AIS data using covariance matrix-based abnormal data filtering, develop improved Douglas-Peucker (DP) algorithm for multi-granularity trajectory compression, identify navigation hotspots and intersections using density-based spatial clustering and visualize chart overlays using Mercator projection. In experiments with AIS data from the Laotieshan waters in the Bohai Bay, we achieve compression rate up to 97% while maintaining a key trajectory feature retention error less than 0.15 nautical miles. We identify critical areas such as waterway intersections and generate traffic flow heatmap for maritime management, route planning, etc.

With the development of ship intelligence, network security threats are increasing day by day. This paper proposes a ship network security situation awareness algorithm based on an improved spatiotemporal attention mechanism, and constructs a supporting defense mechanism. The algorithm accurately captures changes in network security situation through dynamic weight allocation and multi-scale feature extraction. In the experimental simulation, OMNeT++ is combined with SUMO to build a ship network simulation environment, and Maritime - CPS - Dataset and other data sets are used for testing. The algorithm in this paper is compared with ARIMA, LSTM, GRU and other algorithms. The results show that in terms of situation awareness accuracy, the algorithm in this paper reaches 95.6%, which is 27.8% higher than ARIMA, 12.3% higher than LSTM, and 10.1% higher than GRU respectively; the average response time of the defense mechanism is shortened to 2.3 seconds, which is 40% faster than the

To address the high security demands of HSR communication, this letter proposes a covert communication scheme using irregular intelligent transparent surfaces (ITSs) deployed on train windows. A joint optimization framework is developed to enhance covert rate under element constraints, involving ATS for topology design and NECE for beamforming and phase shift. Gradient descent is used to handle covert constraints. Simulations confirm that the proposed irregular ITS outperforms regular ITS in performance and robustness, offering a promising solution for future HSR covert communication.

With the rapid development of e-commerce, the logistics industry also presents new features such as multi-level, integrated upstream-downstream operations, increasingly perfect service quality and low logistics costs. The exponential growth in online transactions and consumer expectations for faster, more reliable deliveries intensifies the pressure on logistics systems. The last-mile service network refers to the logistics nodes that have direct contact with consumers, and its geographical location and quantity will directly affect the service level, cost and customer service mode of the distribution network. However, with the rapid growth in the number of online shoppers and their imbalance on the Internet, these factors have gradually become an important basis for influencing the layout of terminal outlets. This imbalance, coupled with dynamic urban traffic conditions, renders traditional distribution planning methods inadequate. Therefore, in the e-commerce environment, how to

This study investigates urban traffic congestion optimisation strategies based on V2X technology. V2X technology (Vehicles and Internet of Everything) aims to alleviate urban traffic congestion, improve access efficiency, and reduce tailpipe emissions through real-time collection and fusion of traffic data to optimise traffic signal control and path planning. The efficacy of the optimisation strategies under different V2X penetration rates is evaluated by conducting multi-factor orthogonal experiments in different typical congestion scenarios. The experimental results show that the V2X-based signal optimisation, path induction, and event response combination strategies exhibit significant optimisation effects in all three scenarios: node bottleneck, corridor congestion, and event induction. Under the condition of 100% penetration, the combined strategy reduces delay by 41.9% in the node bottleneck scenario, improves accessibility by 28.1% in the corridor congestion scenario, and

Semi-trailer trains are the main force of highway freight. In a complex environment with multiple vehicles, accidents are easily caused by complex structures and driver operation problems. Intelligent technology is urgently needed to improve safety. In view of the shortcomings of existing research on its dedicated models and algorithms, this paper studies the intelligent decision-making and trajectory planning of semi-trailer trains under multiple vehicles. A local trajectory planning method based on global path planning and Frenet coordinate decoupling based on the improved A* algorithm is proposed. The smooth weight transition function and B-spline curve are introduced to optimize the global path. The polynomial function is combined with the acceleration rate to optimize the local trajectory. TruckSim, Prescan and Simulink are used to build a joint simulation platform for multi-condition verification. The simulation results show that the search efficiency of the improved A* algorithm

Aiming at the problem of efficiency loss caused by the independent optimization of traditional vehicle - cargo matching and route planning, this paper proposes a spatio - temporal collaborative optimization model. By constructing three - dimensional decision variables to describe the “vehicle - cargo - route” mapping relationship, a multi - objective mixed - integer programming model considering transportation costs, time - window constraints, and carbon emissions is established. An improved NSGA - II algorithm is designed to solve the Pareto optimal solution set, and the TOPSIS method is combined to achieve scheme optimization. Experiments show that the collaborative optimization model reduces the comprehensive cost by an average of 12.7% and the vehicle empty - running rate by 18.4% compared with the traditional two - stage method.

In order to improve engine emission and limit combustion instabilities, in particular for low load and idle conditions, reducing the injected fuel mass shot-to-shot dispersion is mandatory. Unfortunately, the most diffused approach for the hydraulic analysis of low-pressure injectors such as PFIs or SCR dozers is restrained to the mean injected mass measurement in given operating conditions, since the use of conventional injection analyzers is unfeasible. In the present paper, an innovative injection analyzer is used to measure both the injection rate and the injected mass of each single injection event, enabling a proper dispersion investigation of the analysed low pressure injection system. The proposed instrument is an inverse application of the Zeuch’s method, which in this case is applied to a closed volume upstream the injector, with the injector being operated with the prescribed upstream-to-downstream pressure differential. Further, the injector can inject freely against air

Measurement plays a crucial role in the precise and accurate management of automotive subsystems to enhance efficiency and performance. Sensors are essential for achieving high levels of accuracy and precision in control applications. Rapid technical advancements have transformed the automobile industry in recent years, and a wide range of novel sensor devices are being released to the market to speed up the development of autonomous vehicle technology. Nonetheless, stricter regulations for reliable pressure sensors in automobiles have resulted from growing legal pressures from regulatory bodies. This work proposes and investigates a tribo electric nano sensor that is affected by a changing parameter of the separation distance between the device's primary electrode and dielectric layers. The system is being modeled using the COMSOL multiphysics of electrostatics and the tribo-electric effect. Open circuit electric potential and short circuit surface charge density are two of the

The proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzer is an emerging technology to produce green hydrogen due to its compactness and producing high purity hydrogen. This study presents a numerical investigation on multiphase flow dynamics and heat transfer within the anode flow field of a PEM water electrolyzer. Two different channel configurations, i.e., rectangular, semi-circular are considered having same cross-sectional area while keeping the porous transport layer (PTL) thickness constant (which is within the commercially available ranges). Simulations are conducted for various oxygen generation rates and heat fluxes (corresponding to different current densities) and different inlet water flow rates. The effects of channel configurations on pressure drop, flow uniformity, and temperature distribution are illustrated pictorially and graphically. The impact of water flow rates and oxygen generation rates on phase distribution, pressure drop, and temperature profiles, particularly

This study explores the application of Particleworks, a meshless CFD solver based on the Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) method, for simulating hydraulic retarders. Two distinct models were used: one for validating physical fidelity and another for conducting performance-focused design investigations. Validation results demonstrated that Particleworks closely aligns with experimental data from the reference literature, effectively capturing torque variations with rotor speed effect. A sensitivity study also emphasized the importance of particle resolution on accuracy and computational cost. Design studies using an in-house hydraulic retarder model assessed the influence of flow rate, rotor speed, working fluid, temperature, and cup geometry on braking torque. Notably, torque increased with rotor speed and steeper cup angles, while thermal effects and fluid properties significantly impacted performance trends. Comparative analysis with Star-CCM+ showed that Particleworks offers similar

Modern battery management systems, as part of Battery Digital Twin, include cloud-based predictive analytics algorithms. These algorithms predicts critical parameters like Thermal runaway events, state of health (SOH), state of charge (SOC), remaining useful life (RUL), etc. However, relying only on cloud-based computations adds significant latency to time-sensitive procedures such as thermal runaway monitoring. This is a very critical and safety function and delay is not acceptable, but automobiles operate in various areas throughout the intended path of travel, internet connectivity varies, resulting in a delay in data delivery to the cloud and similarly delay in return of the detected warning to the driver back in the vehicle. As a result, the inherent lag in data transfer between the cloud and vehicles challenges the present deployment of cloud-based real-time monitoring solutions. This study proposes application of Federated Learning and applying to a thermal runaway model in low

Type IV composite pressure (CP) vessels composed of a plastic liner and composite layers require special design attention to the dome region. The cylindrical portion of the composite cylinder is wrapped with composite layers consisting of the 900 hoop layers and low-angle helical layers, whereas the dome surface carries helical layers only. The winding angle of the helical layers being a constant over the cylindrical portion starts to vary from the cylinder-dome junction toward the boss at the top continuously. Along with the winding angle, the composite thickness also varies continuously resulting in a maximum thickness at the top crown region. The complete analysis and layer-wise stress prediction of Type IV composite cylinders for service pressures up to 70 MPa was analyzed by the Classical Lamination theory (CLT)-based MATLAB program. The MATLAB program developed in this work for the dome initially performs the dome profile generation through the numerical integration of the dome

Target tracking is an important component of intelligent vehicle perception systems, which has outstanding significance for the safety and efficiency of intelligent vehicle driving. With the continuous improvement of technologies such as computer vision and deep learning, detection based tracking has gradually become the mainstream target tracking framework in the field of intelligent vehicles, and target detection performance is the key factor determining its tracking performance. Although remarkable progress has been made in current 3D object detection networks, a single network still struggles to provide stable detection for distant and occluded targets. Besides, traditional tracking methods are based on single-stage association matching, which can easily lead to identity jumps and target loss in case of missed detections, resulting in poor overall stability of the tracking algorithm. To solve the above problem, a hierarchical association matching method using a dual object

The China Container Freight Index (CCFI) is an important barometer of the global container shipping market. It is very important for participants in the shipping market to understand its composition. This study takes six representative routes as the research objects and conducts a detailed analysis of the composition of CCFI. The freight rate indices of these routes are decomposed and reconstructed by using the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) algorithm, aiming to clarify the economic significance of each route and the fluctuation law of the reconstructed components. The research results show that the freight rate fluctuations of the west Coast, Southeast Asia and Mediterranean routes exhibit a complex nonlinear interdependence, and the simple linear model cannot fully reflect this relationship. On the contrary, the trend components of the European and Mediterranean routes effectively identify and represent the main trends within the original freight rate index. Global major events

This study extends the bottleneck model to analyze dynamic user equilibrium (UE) in carpooling during the morning peak commute. It is assumed that the carpooling platform offers both traditional human-driven vehicles and novel shared autonomous vehicles. First, we analyze the traffic distribution on a two-lane road. We find that traffic distribution is influenced by the additional cost of carpooling behavior. A corresponding functional relationship is established and visualized. Second, we derive the critical fare threshold for carpooling. Carpooling occurs only when the fare is below this threshold. Third, we obtain the user equilibrium (UE) solution under a specified case, including flow distribution, equilibrium cost, and total number of vehicle. Furthermore, a system-optimal dynamic tolling scheme is proposed to minimize total system cost while maintaining commuter UE. By equating the system marginal cost to the equilibrium cost, we derive the analytical expression for the lane

Urban road traffic state classification is essential for identifying early-stage deterioration and enabling proactive traffic management. This study presents a novel method to accurately assess the traffic state of urban roads while addressing the limitations of existing methods in spatial generalization performance. The approach consists of three key components. First, several indicators are designed to capture the spatial-temporal evolution mechanisms of traffic state, speed freedom, flow saturation, and their variations over time and space. Then, a feature learning module based on an AutoEncoder network is introduced to reduce the dimensionality of the constructed feature set. This enhances feature distinction while mitigating noise effects on classification results. Third, k-means clustering is applied to analyze significant features extracted from the AutoEncoder latent space, categorizing road traffic states into fluent, basic fluent, moderate congested and severe congested

Lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs) are facing issues owing to internal short-circuit (ISC), leading to thermal runaway. In this study, a pseudo-two-dimensional (P2D) model is employed to numerically investigate the effects of charging rate (C-rate) and separator electrical conductivity on the ISC behavior of a lithium-ion cell. The results reveal that as C-rate increases, both the voltage and capacity decrease more rapidly marked by higher solid potential gradient indicating increased internal resistance. These effects further intensified at higher separator conductivity, which facilitates greater ISC current and accelerates cell degradation. Also, the variations in current density and solid-phase lithium concentration become more pronounced at higher C-rates, particularly near the anode–separator interface, indicating increased non-uniformity during ISC conditions. Furthermore, the electrolyte voltage drop intensifies with rising C-rate, contributing to additional

HM-1R Rotorcraft Integrated Vehicle Health Management
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides guidance on the development and implementation of a Common Open Data Exchange (CODEX) format for rotorcraft Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS). The standard is intended to apply to data generated on board rotorcraft and the transmission of that data, as well as the data ingested by ground stations to facilitate Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM). The standard provides both a conceptual data model (or models) and logical data models for rotorcraft HUMS use cases. However, the intent of the standard is to allow for data schema evolution and does not define the physical data models. The standard provides functional requirements for HUMS data acquisition and HUMS data transfer interfaces. The initial standard is focused primarily on drive train systems but is designed to potentially accommodate other data (e.g., structural fatigue) in future revisions. It is acknowledged that current rotorcraft onboard systems do not generate data

Nowadays, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are considered an attractive solution to support the transition towards more sustainable transportation systems. Although their well-known advantages in terms of overall propulsion efficiency and exhaust emissions, the diffusion of BEVs on the market is still reduced by some technical bottlenecks. Among those, the uncertainty about the expected durability of the vehicle's onboard battery packs plays a key role in affecting customer choice. In this context, this paper proposes the use of model-based datasets for training a driving support system based on machine learning techniques to be installed on board. The objective of this system is to acquire vehicle, environmental, and traffic information from sensor’ networks and provide real-time smart suggestions to the driver to preserve the remaining useful life of vehicle components, with particular reference to the battery pack and brakes. For the generation of the training dataset, first, a set

Modern military aircraft represent some of the most complex electronic environments ever engineered. These platforms integrate advanced avionics, radar systems, data links, and communication networks that must function seamlessly in hostile, high-frequency environments. In these mission-critical contexts, electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a silent but serious threat that can degrade signal integrity, cause crosstalk between systems, or even lead to mission failure. The combination of increasing data rates, higher frequencies, and more complex electromagnetic environments demands shielding solutions that can deliver superior performance while contributing to overall system weight reduction. This challenge has driven innovation toward advanced materials that maintain electrical effectiveness while dramatically reducing mass.
This article presents a path planning and control method for a cost-effective autonomous sweeping vehicle operating in enclosed campus. First, to address the challenges from perception, an effective obstacle filtering algorithm is proposed, considering the elimination of false detection and correction of object position. Based on it, the adaptive sampling–based path planner and pure pursuit controller are developed. Not only an adaptive cost-weighting mechanism is introduced by TOPSIS algorithm to determine the desired trajectory as a multi-objective optimization problem, but also the adaptive preview distance is designed according to the trajectory curvature and vehicle state. The real-vehicle tests are implemented in typical scenario. The results show that the 87.8% effective edge-following rate is achieved in curved paths, and 22.93% cleaning coverage is improved for cleaning coverage. Therefore, the proposed method is effective and reliable for cost-effective autonomous sweeping

Usually, scenarios for testing of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are generated utilizing certain scenario and road specification languages such as ASAM OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE. Directly adopting these low-level languages limits the rate in which new scenarios are generated for virtual testing. Natural language (NL) would allow a much broader group of people and artificial intelligences to generate scenarios, increasing test coverage and safety. Instead of trying a direct translation from NL into OpenX, the existing intermediate domain specific language (DSL) stiEF is used. This not only facilitates testing and debugging but also generation, as its grammar can be used as a constraint for a large language model (LLM), which is then able to translate NL into stiEF. A parser is applied in an agentic way that interacts with the LLM until a syntactically correct file is generated, an optional second agent is then used to do basic semantic verification. Finally, the translation

The escalating complexity at intersections challenges the safety of the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians, especially for those with mobility impairments. Traditional traffic control systems detect pedestrians through costly technologies such as LiDAR and radar, limiting their adoption due to high costs and static programming. Therefore, the article proposes a customized signalized intersection control (CSIC) algorithm for pedestrian safety enhancement. This algorithm integrates advanced computer vision (CV) algorithms to detect, track, and predict pedestrian movements in real time, enhancing safety at a signalized intersection while remaining economically viable and easily integrated into existing infrastructure. Implemented at a key intersection in Bellevue, the CSIC system achieves a 100% pedestrian passing rate while simultaneously minimizing the average remaining walk time after crossings. The algorithm used in this study demonstrates the potential of combining CV with

Vehicular accident reconstruction is intended to explain the stages of a collision. This also includes the description of the driving trajectories of vehicles. Stored driving data is now often available for accident reconstruction, increasingly including gyroscopic sensor readings. Driving dynamics parameters such as lateral acceleration in various driving situations are already well studied, but angular rates such as those around the yaw axis are little described in the literature. This study attempts to reduce this gap somewhat by evaluating high-frequency measurement data from real, daily driving operations in the field. 813 driving maneuvers, captured by accident data recorders, were analyzed in detail and statistically evaluated. These devices also make it possible to record events without an accident. The key findings show the average yaw rates as a function of driving speed as well as the ratio between mean and associated peak yaw rate. Beyond that, considerably lower yaw rates

When a train passes continuously over a section of the track, the track gradually moves away from the intended vertical and horizontal alignment with time and repeated use. Regular maintenance on the track, such as leveling, lifting, lining, and tamping, is necessary to maintain the optimal geometry of the track. Ballast is leveled and squeezed by hydraulic rams in tamping machines. The tamping is a process of ballast packing under railway tracks. In current system a set of tungsten carbide chips are attached either by welding or by coating on tamping tool tip made of EN24 steels. These tungsten carbide chips directly come in contact with the ballasts. After few tamping works, gradually these chips torn out and need to be replaced after certain period. Tungsten carbide is a costly material, therefore this research deals with replacement of tungsten carbide with silicon carbide (easily available cheaper) coating used for tamping tools tip. The study consists of microstructural

Researchers developed wearable skin sensors that can detect what’s in a person’s sweat. Using the sensors, monitoring perspiration could bypass the need for more invasive procedures like blood draws and provide real-time updates on health problems such as dehydration or fatigue. The sensor design can be rapidly manufactured using a roll-to-roll processing technique that essentially prints the sensors onto a sheet of plastic.
This study introduces an innovative intelligent tire system capable of estimating the risk of total hydroplaning based on water pressure measurements within the tread grooves. Dynamic hydroplaning represents an important safety concern influenced by water depth, tread design, and vehicle longitudinal speed. Existing intelligent tire systems primarily assess hydroplaning risk using the water wedge effect, which occurs predominantly in deep water conditions. However, in shallow water, which is far more prevalent in real-world scenarios, the water wedge effect is absent at higher longitudinal speeds, which could make existing systems unable to reliably assess the total hydroplaning risk. Groove flow represents a key factor in hydroplaning dynamics, and it is governed by two mechanisms: water interception rate and water wedge pressure. In both the shallow water and deep water cases, the groove water flow will increase as a result of increasing the longitudinal speed of the vehicle for a

The existing variable speed limit (VSL) control strategies rely on variable message signs, leading to slow response times and sensitivity to driver compliance. These methods struggle to adapt to environments where both connected automated vehicles (CAVs) and manual vehicles coexist. This article proposes a VSL control strategy using the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm to optimize travel time, reduce collision risks, and minimize energy consumption. The algorithm leverages real-time traffic data and prior speed limits to generate new control actions. A reward function is designed within a DDPG-based actor-critic framework to determine optimal speed limits. The proposed strategy was tested in two scenarios and compared against no-control, rule-based control, and DDQN-based control methods. The simulation results indicate that the proposed control strategy outperforms existing approaches in terms of improving TTS (total time spent), enhancing the throughput efficiency
