Stability and Intervehicle Distance Analysis of Vehicular Platoons: Highlighting the Impact of Bidirectional Communication Topologies
Download2024-02-18
Amir Zakerimanesh, Tony Z. Qiu, Mahdi Tavakoli
Vehicular platooning, a configuration comprising a leading vehicle and multiple follower vehicles (FVs) seeks to achieve and maintain specific intervehicle distances (IDs) while synchronizing FVs with the velocity and acceleration of the leading vehicle. Before attaining a desired stable state,...

Stream invertebrate community structure at Canadian oil sands development is linked to concentration of bitumen-derived contaminants
Stream invertebrate community structure at Canadian oil sands development is linked to concentration of bitumen-derived contaminants
Download2017-01-01
In Canada, the Athabasca oil sands deposits are a source of bitumen-derived contaminants, reaching the aquatic environment via various natural and anthropogenic pathways. The ecological effects of these contaminants are under debate. To quantify the effects of bitumen-derived contaminants we...

Supply-and-demand models for exploring relationships between smaller airports and neighboring hub airports in the US
Download2019-11-06
Airport passenger leakage is the phenomenon of air passengers choosing to travel longer distances to access 6 more extensive air services offered by airlines at an out-of-region hub (or, substitute) airport, instead of using their local airports. Airport leakage can cause further reduction in...
