Digital human figure models are a useful tool for simulation of driver ingress and egress for passenger cars, light trucks, and heavy commercial trucks. Simulation allows evaluation of the suitability of steps and handholds as a system. Accurate simulation requires detailed, validated algorithms to predict driver motions. One critical component of such an algorithm is the accurate prediction of...

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has a loop detection system on its Greater Seattle freeway network to provide real-time traffic data. The dual-loop detectors installed in the system are used to measure vehicle lengths and then classify each vehicle into one of four categories according to its length. The dual-loop’s capability of measuring vehicle length makes the WSDO...

Effective management of the vehicles plays an important role in transportation sector. There are some novel approaches in software engineering which can be used to dynamically control the trucks. One of the example technologies is multi-agent systems. Multi-agent-based technologies could be used for truck dispatching in real time. The trucks in such systems have their own transportation plan an...

background: long distance truck drivers (ldtds) and their sexual health risk behaviors have been associated with greater prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (stis), hiv and hepatitis virus transmission. however, there is no information about iranian ldtds' high-risk behaviors. the aim of this investigation was to estimate the prevalence of high-risk behaviors in iranian ldtds. methods...

In this paper, we present an innovative decision support system that simultaneously provides predictive analytics to logistic nodes as well as to collaborating truck companies. Logistic nodes, such as container terminals, container depots or container loading facilities, face heavy workloads through a large number of truck arrivals during peak times. At the same time, truck companies suffer fro...

The article is dedicated to the study of influence microhardness auger coating on its wear resistance during dehydration municipal solid waste in a garbage truck. use mathematical tools and appropriate regression analysis software allowed determine dependence between rate coating. A graphical representation change based was made up, confirming significant convergence with obtained dependence. g...

Truck crashes on steep downgrades due to excessive brake heating, resulting from applications control speeding, are a continuing cause of concern for the Wyoming Department Transportation (WYDOT). In 2016, WYDOT funded project update existing Grade Severity Rating System. Furthermore, in 2020, commissioned research automate updated version mathematical model through an interactive, intuitive, a...

In a parallel environment, where processes reside on diierent processors and work on the same computation, data allocation plays a signiicant role in the completion time. Data allocation depends on the way software is partitioned; therefore, both the data and software should be considered together to achieve a global optimization. In this paper, we present an algorithm that produces the optimum...

Current complex engineering software systems are often made up of many software components to perform complex tasks, which can be modeled as multi-agent systems. Task allocation in complex multi-agent engineering software systems can be described through software agents’ cooperation to satisfy the resource requirement of tasks. Although many task allocation approaches have been presented to dea...

Software planning is becoming more complicated as the size of software project grows, making the planning process more important. Many approaches have been proposed to help software project managers by providing optimal human resource allocations in terms of minimizing the cost. Since previous approaches only concentrated on minimizing the cost, there has not been a study that considers the pra...
