Aged and wheeled mobility in transit-oriented development: the capabilities approach by Xu, Y, Chan, H-Y, Chen, A, Chim, T-Y, Liu, X

“…Our focus is on understanding these conversion factors, which highlight both environmental and individual constraints when converting resources into capabilities. Our findings reveal significant disparities in walking environments between the initially planned and the realized catchment areas, as well as disparities between individuals with and without physical limitations. …”

Modeling adaptive platoon and reservation based autonomous intersection control: a deep reinforcement learning approach by Li, Duowei, Wu, Jianping, Zhu, Feng, Chen, Tianyi, Wong, Yiik Diew

“…The model framework has following two levels: the first level adopts a First Come First Serve (FCFS) reservation based policy integrated with a nonconflicting lane selection mechanism to determine vehicles’ passing priority; and the second level applies a deep Q-network algorithm to identify the optimal platoon size based on the real-time traffic condition of an intersection. When being tested on a traffic micro-simulator, our proposed model exhibits superior performances on travel efficiency and fuel conservation as compared to the state-of-the-art methods.…”

On shear adhesion of adhesive fibrils by Linghu, Changhong, Du, Zihao, Sun, Yi, Chen, Weiqiu, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Our model reveals that, depending on the fibrillar aspect ratio, the adhesive fibril exhibits three distinct deformation regimes: thin film shearing, thick block shearing, and slender beam bending. The important parameters governing the shear adhesion of the lap shear system are the aspect ratio of fibrils, elastic moduli of the fibrils and substrates, while the Poisson's ratio of fibrils has no noticeable effect. …”
