transportation is by people and for them. it is a process of providing mobility and accessibility for people both as passengers and as consumers of the goods. therefore it is true when today there is an emphasis on the considering transportation the most influential development in every society. regional development cannot properly be happened without enough transportation infrastructure and qu...

The mission of the University Transportation Centers (UTC) program is to advance U.S. technology and expertise in the many disciplines comprising transportation through the mechanisms of education, research, and technology transfer at university-based centers of excellence. The Midwest Transportation Consortium (MTC) is a Tier The contents of this report reflect the views of the authors, who ar...

Compact omnidirectional mobile robots are required to automate transportation of raw materials, products, etc. within an industrial plant. This paper focuses on omni wheel with low vibration and arrangements that contribute compactness. Due its wheels’ configuration, our proposed compact robot may have different sensitivity noise (controller) performance (errors) when following a predetermined ...

Nowadays, transportation is one of the main air pollution sources and has a significant impact on human health and environmental quality. The electric vehicle is a zero emission vehicle powered by an electric motor with power from an electricity source, usually a battery or super-capacitor. However, monitoring and managing the recharging of electric vehicles represents a challenge. The purpose ...

Land public transportation modes are experiencing a significant increase after constructing the Trans Java toll road. Many bus companies maximize use of road to serve community, one these is PT. Haryanto Motor Indonesia. This company engaged in Autobus Transportation. study aims determine effect employee engagement on job satisfaction with work-life balance as an intervening variable. type rese...

Dirigibles have the ability to take off and land vertically, hover and maintain lift without consuming energy and can be easily deflated for packaging and transportation. As such, dirigibles are well suited for surveillance and surveyance missions such as rescue and aid operations after disasters. This paper reviews hybrid dirigible UAV design considerations and presents a novel hybrid power pl...

We have constructed a haptic immersive workbench to be placed in the patients' home for daily adjusted rehabilitation. We also propose a system for Internet based connection and communication between patients and between patients and a clinical rehabilitation center and clinical assessment/evaluation centers. The benefits of a system for rehabilitation after stroke, based on VR, Haptics and Tel...

Linear double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses package their genome into a procapsid using an ATP-driven nanomotor. Here we report that bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging motor exercises a one-way traffic property for dsDNA translocation from N-terminal entrance to C-terminal exit with a valve mechanism in DNA packaging, as demonstrated by voltage ramping, electrode polarity switching, and sedimenta...

Around the world, e-bike has evolved from a recreational and sports object to an increasingly used means of transportation. Due this, improving aspects such as range energy efficiency become very relevant. This article presents experimental models for components’ mid-drive motor (charger; battery; controller, motor, reduction gears subsystem), integrates them with previously elaborated chain tr...

In the next years is expected an important rise in sales of electrical scooters in the entire world but especially in China. In order to address this challenge the electric scooter industry has to be more competitive in the transportation market and therefore important improvements, in terms of energy density and costs, have to be done in the electric storage system and in the electric propulsi...
