Aluminum hybrid reinforcement technology is a response to the dynamic ever increasing service requirements of such industries as transportation, aerospace, automobile, marine, etc. It is unique in that it offers a platform of almost unending combinations of materials to produce various hybrid composites. This article reviews the studies carried out on various combinations of aluminum hybrid com...

The ability to forecast sea ice (both extent and thickness) and weather conditions are the major factors when it comes to safe marine transportation in the Arctic Ocean. This paper presents findings focusing on sea ice and weather prediction in the Arctic Ocean for navigation purposes, in particular along the Northeast Passage. Based on comparison with the observed sea ice concentrations for va...

It is necessary to develop a useful application to use big data like as AIS for safety and efficiency of ship operation. AIS is very useful system to collect targets information, but this information is not effective use yet. The evaluation method of collision risk is one of the cause disturb. Usually the collision risk of ship is evaluated by the value of the Closest Point of Approach (CPA)...

A significant and growing volume of global trade travels on container ships, and each year larger ships are introduced. For this reason, the Container Stowage Problem, a fundamental problem in marine cargo transportation involving the optimal assignment of shipping containers of various types to specific storage locations in container ship at each port in order to maximize loading and unloading...

Availability/reliability is a main feature of design and operation of all engineering systems. Recently, availability evaluation of multi-state systems with different structures is at the center of attention due to the wide applications in engineering. In this paper, a dynamic model is developed for the availability assessment of multi-state weighted k-out-of-n systems. Then, in a design optimi...

He presents the details of internal CG’s discussions, different national positions after the announcement by the chairman of the group, Mr John Erik Hagen, the ...

Abstract: Along with increasing marine transportation and logistics, the ship autopilot has become much important not only to lower the seaman's operating intensions, but also to reduce the seaman's deployment. It is still a challenge to design ship course-keeping controller because of ship's uncertain dynamics and time-varying environmental disturbance. This study focuses on backstepping adapt...

This paper addresses the development of a novel antisway control approach for marine shipboard cranes, offering stability, safety, and efficiency during lifting, handling, transportation, and other manipulation. The proposed idea consists of the development of an integrated system with control strategies to both reduce the effect of three-dimensional payload pendulation and to minimize wave imp...

sustainable road transportation requires integration with economic, social and environmental aspects of transportation. it depends on term and condition of each society. in the recent decades, transportation is growing fast in iran and isfahan follows this scenario. the aim of this study is to study the traffic, parking road properties of isfahan metropolitan area who are actively implementing ...
