The critical nodes (CNs) in urban transportation networks, defined as road entities (such as road segments or detectors in a road network) that present highly volatile traffic states, can significantly impact the overall traffic conditions. ...

• A novel knowledge-based spatial feature fusion (KSFF) block to explicitly consider the critical nodes in a road network.
• A KSFF-based novel spatiotemporal deep learning model for traffic state prediction considering the critical nodes.

Emerging autonomous vehicles (AVs) are expected to bring about a revolution in both the automotive industry and transportation systems. Introducing AVs into the existing mobility system with human-driven vehicles (HVs) yields mixed traffic with the ...

This paper studies an optimal dynamic lane reversal and traffic control (DLRTC) strategy in the presence of autonomous vehicles (AVs). A centralized controller is set to change lane directions dynamically and regulate traffic flow on a motorway network. ...

In the global maritime transportation network, the on-time performance of cargo transportation depends largely on the service capacity and accessibility of seaports. When opportunities for infrastructure expansions are not available, seaport congestion ...

In the busiest seaports, vessel traffic and vessel pilotage management play a crucial role in congestion mitigation. The management of vessel traffic and pilotage involves scheduling the vessels for sailing into and out of a seaport and scheduling the ...

Semi-liner shipping transports various types of cargo, such as containers, break-bulk cargo, and heavy-lift project cargo, between different ports. Similar to liner shipping, semi-liner shipping publishes shipping routes for customers’ reference. However, ...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are paving a way to reshape the operation and management of urban transportation systems by improving travel mobility. In this study, we propose to use AVs for solving the first‐mile (FM) problem that aims to transport ...

Intercontinental liner container shipping service connects trades between different continents in the global logistic system. This paper proposes a single intercontinental service design problem that aims to jointly determine the optimal serviced ports ...

Aiming at the characteristics that electromyography (EMG) signals can reflect the human body's motive intention and the information of muscle's motive state, this paper makes a thorough study on the evaluation of surface electromyography signals' motive ...

Inland shipping has received extensive attention in practice and is a high energy-consuming service sensitive to the river streamflow speed and the uncertain lock traversing time of dams. In this study, we propose a joint ship schedule design and ...

Display Omitted CHI is a longitudinal index to reflect the patient condition in progression.To develop CHI, we focus on the degenerative disease conditions.A convex optimization formulation is developed along with efficient algorithm.CHI is demonstrated ...

This paper reviews studies from the past 30 years that use operations research methods to tackle containership routing and scheduling problems at the strategic, tactical, and operational planning levels. These problems are first classified and ...

This paper focuses on modelling the network flow equilibrium problem on a multimodal transport network with bus-based park-and-ride P&R system and congestion pricing charges. The multimodal network has three travel modes: auto mode, transit mode and P&R ...

It is crucial for a liner shipping company to design its container shipping network. Given a set of port-to-port container shipment demands with delivery deadlines, the liner shipping company aims to design itineraries of portcalls, deploy ships on ...

Road tunnels are critical transportation infrastructures that provide underground passageways for motorists and commuters. Fire in road tunnels in combination with tunnel safety provisions failure may lead to catastrophic consequences, and thus, ...

A VR-based simulator helps trainees develop skills for catheterization, a fundamental but difficult procedure in vascular interventional radiology. A deformable model simulates the complicated behavior of guide wires and catheters, using the principle ...

The traffic volume in the Singapore Strait will be significantly increased according to the prediction by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Therefore, it is important for the maritime authorities (e.g. Maritime and Port Authority ...

The validity of the web content which is craweled based on theme search does not make us very satisfied. This article adopts genetic algorithm to realize subject extraction, block processing of the page content, the validity verification with subject. ...

Visual exploration of volume data often requires the user to manipulate the orientation and position of a slicing plane in order to observe, annotate or measure its internal structures. Such operations, with its many degrees of freedom in 3D space, map ...

In this paper, we investigate robust stochastic stability of Markovian switching genetic regulatory networks with discrete and distributed delays. Different from previous correspondingly works, discrete and distributed delays are involved to describe ...
