Mind the perception gap: The impact of bus rapid transit infrastructure on travelers’ perceptions of affective subjective well-being by Navarrete-Hernandez, Pablo, Christopher Zegras, P

“…We find that: (1) compared to regular bus services, a ‘standard BRT’ consisting of a painted bus lane and the addition of a cycle lane significantly enhances SWB; (2) an ‘SWB infrastructure’ option that replaces car parking with improvements for cyclists and pedestrians and adds street amenities further enhances SWB; and, (3) the BRT infrastructure elements most effective in enhancing affective SWB for users of all transport modes are the addition of green spaces, improvement of crosswalks, and provision of more space for pedestrians and cyclists. …”

Influence of active subsystems on electric vehicle behavior and energy characteristics by Shyrokau, Barys, Savitski, Dzmitry, Wang, Danwei

“…The vehicle configuration includes (i) friction brake system, (ii) individual-wheel drive electric motors, (iii) wheel steer actuators, (iv) camber angle actuators, (v) dynamic tire pressure system and (vi) actuators generating additional normal forces through external spring, damping and stabilizer forces. A passenger car is investigated using commercial software. The actuator models are defined using experimental test results and technical literature information. …”

Enhancing boundary friction and wear reduction through adsorption control in protic ionic liquid and carbon mixtures by Mohamed Ariffin, Nur Aisya Affrina, Lee, Chiew Tin, Lee, Mei Bao, Halid, Izzati, Hamdan, Siti Hartini, Ismail, Muhammad Izzal, Chong, William Woei Fong, Zhang, Hedong

“…These findings provide insights into the interaction between [Oley][Oleic] and CNTs when sheared, offering a predictive framework for understanding friction and wear behaviour specific to IL-based lubricants. …”

Active mobility device parking characteristics at MRT stations by Ng, Yi Shien

“…With a growing population, scarce land with limited road expansion capacity, and increasing public expectations for convenience in travel, active mobility devices (AMDs – personally-owned and shared bicycles as well as personal mobility devices like electric scooters and skateboards) are playing an important role in Singapore’s efforts to work towards a “car-lite” nation. Shared bicycles grew in popularity in 2017 and reached the peak of 100,000 shared bicycles in early 2018. …”

Mobilizing bodies: unsettling sustainable mobility through cycling in Los Angeles by Davidson, AC

“…Cycling, particularly when replacing car journeys, is increasingly promoted as a solution for some of these 'crises': Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, traffic congestion and alleviating health concerns associated with sedentary lifestyles and mental health. …”

Open-RadVLAD: fast and robust radar place recognition by Gadd, M, Newman, P

“…Our method is more comprehensively tested than all prior radar place recognition work – over an exhaustive combination of all 870 pairs of trajectories from 30 Oxford Radar RobotCar Dataset sequences (each ≈10 km), with a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar. …”

The effect of surface roughness on friction properties of silica-filled epoxidised natural rubber by Che Aziz, Ahmad Kifli, Samion, Syahrullail, Abdul Hamid, Mohd. Kameil, Zaeimoedin, Teku Zakwan

“…Friction properties of rubber compounds are important for tyre tread applications as tyre is the only contact between the road and the car. Although epoxidised natural rubber (ENR) is widely reported to have a good grip property, there is limited information on its friction properties. …”

On propagation characteristics of ultrasonic guided waves in helical strands by Zhang, Hongyan, Li, Jian, Jiang, Can, Chen, Shili, Fan, Zheng, Liu, Yang

“…Steel strands have been widely used in industrial fields as a reliable load-bearing component. Under the influence of environmental erosion and fatigue stress, different types of damage, such as corrosion and fracture, will occur in the in-service steel strands, which will cause unpredictable loss of personnel and property. …”

Maneuvering angle rigid formations with global convergence guarantees by Chen, Liangming, Lin, Zhiyun, De Marina, Hector Garcia, Sun, Zhiyong, Feroskhan, Mir

“…Angle rigid multi-agent formations can simultaneously undergo translational, rotational, and scaling maneuvering, therefore combining the maneuvering capabilities of both distance and bearing rigid formations. However, maneuvering angle rigid formations in 2D or 3D with global convergence guarantees is shown to be a challenging problem in the existing literature even when relative position measurements are available. …”

Influence of operating parameters on morphology of laser hardened surfaces by Maharjan, Niroj, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Yu, Wu, Naien

“…Laser transformation hardening is an attractive heat treatment technology which can be used to enhance the surface properties of highly stressed components such as cams, gears, and bearings without altering its bulk properties. The highly intense laser beam rapidly heats up the irradiated surface above its austenitization temperature which cools down instantaneously (self-quenching) as the laser moves away from the spot producing a hardened surface. …”
