Harnessing Visual Analytics for Enhanced Winter Road Safety: A Framework for Continuous Road Surface Friction Estimation
DownloadFall 2023
Winter Road Surface Condition (RSC) monitoring currently relies on qualitative descriptors such as "bare lane," "partially snow-covered," and "fully snow-covered. These descriptors present two inherent problems—their subjective nature, which gives rise to measurement inconsistencies, and the...

Enhancing Anaerobic Digestion Efficiency of High Strength Wastes with Different Solid Contents
DownloadSpring 2023
Anaerobic digestion has been considered as a sustainable technology to treat a wide range of organic wastes and to recovery value-added products such as methane and fatty acids. However, several factors such as low temperature and high solids content of substrates would lead to the imbalance of...

Experimental Investigation on Interfacial and Surface Phenomena of Clathrate and Semi-clathrate Hydrates
DownloadFall 2023
Clathrate hydrates are compounds where guest molecules are trapped in cages formed between water molecules via hydrogen bonding. They have many promising applications, such as gas storage, energy storage, gas mixture separation and seawater desalination. They may also form inside the oil & gas...

Determining and Managing Contingency Reserve throughout the Lifecycle of Construction Projects
DownloadSpring 2023
Managing risk events and uncertainties plays a key role in the successful delivery of construction projects. To cover the implementation cost of risk response actions as well as the effects of risks on project goals, contingency reserve must be calculated and considered in the project budget....

Vision-assisted behavior-based construction safety: Integrating computer vision and natural language processing
DownloadFall 2023
Background: Construction sites can be hazardous places. Behavior-based safety is a method to optimize workers’ behaviors and improve site safety. Previous behavior-based safety has been criticized for their low efficiency because of manual observation. The community has conducted enormous studies...
