nowadays, using public transportation vehicles like metro in large cities are of significance, and exposure to whole-body vibration for the metro passengers is one of the physical contaminations. this paper is conducted with the aim of evaluating the passengers’ convenience and health both in sitting and standing conditions. the present study was done on the passengers of lines 1, 2, and 4 of t...

overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. in this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. these models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (manfis). they are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the future...

An edge computing offloading strategy was proposed with the goal of addressing issue low efficiency and service quality in multi-service multi-user intersections networked vehicles. This took into account all relevant factors, including matching users nodes, ratio, bandwidth power resource allocation, system energy consumption. It is mainly divided 2 tasks: (1) Service node selection: A fuzzy l...

Abstract Hypersonic hydrogen-powered cruise vehicles offer promise for economical and reliable high-speed atmospheric transport. In recent years, several vehicle concepts have been developed in which the integration of fuel tanks is a major challenge, as they feature complex aerodynamic designs. this work, we explore viability multi-lobe hydrogen solution to obtain lightweight volume-efficient ...

In the recent decade, special attention is paid to reverse logistic due to economic benefits of recovery and recycling of used products as well as environmental legislation and social concerns. On the other hand، many researches claim that separately and sequential planning of forward and reverse logistic causes sub-optimality. Effective transport activities are also one of the most important c...

Introduction The impending widespread deployment of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) has created an opportunity for multimedia communication not only as part of vehicle safety provision, traffic management, and emergency response but also in the value-added ‘infotainment’ domain. The key feature of video distribution to the passengers of vehicles or crew members of emergency vehicles in the V...

The current regulated particle metric in vehicle emissions is the total mass, while during last decade interest in number size distribution has increased. Various international studies on epidemiology and toxicology have reported the adverse effect of the particle matter on public health. The UNECE group of experts on pollution and energy (GRPE) under particle measurement program (PMP) are u...

In this paper, we present a reputation assisted trust management mechanism for vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) using privacy preserving trusted group formation. In a VANET, vehicles or road side units can be malicious or malfunction making security essential. A distributed trust management provides a lightweight security alternative to existing security techniques especially in VANET. The trus...
