Ridesharing is a natural option for increasing the efficiency and availability of transportation, and many factors need to align for ridesharing to successfully meet user needs in the marketplace. This paper explains how some of these issues have been addressed in the creation of GrabShare, a realtime ridesharing service available in an increasing number of Southeast Asian cities including Singapore,...
With the establishment of the Emission Control Areas(ECAs), and the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, container transport will be rapid development in the future of China. Meanwhile, the air pollution problem is increasingly serious, container terminal operator and shipping operator both seeks to reduce ship emissions for sailing period in shipping and mooring period in berth. The utilization ratio...
Multiple vehicle detection and identification techniques have been widely applied to acquire road traffic information depending on various sensors, such as video camera, induction loop and magnetic sensor. Magnetic sensor can measure magnetic field distortion caused by the movement of vehicles and record reliable data. The precise volume and component of traffic flow can be obtained through reasonable...
The relations between trafïîc and transportation not only concern the general situation of socioeconomic development, but are also closely related to people's production and life. The 13th Five-year Plan Period is a decisive phase of comprehensively constructing a moderately prosperous society. Meanwhile, it is also an important period for comprehensively deepening traffic & transportation reform...
Objects classification is an important issue in environment perception of intelligent vehicles. Feature extraction is the basis for the classification. Due to the large amount of point clouds data measured by 3D LiDAR sensor and the real time performance demand of intelligent vehicles, the efficiency is a great challenge in data processing. This work proposes a new method of objects classification...
The global sales volume of automobiles increased in the last years and electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles are main topics of the automobile industry. Many well-known automobile manufactures have already developed their own electric vehicles. Furthermore, the development of self-driving cars is content of many research projects and the first autonomous vehicles are already driving on the roads...
In the last years, the worldwide sales volume of electric vehicles increased and almost all well-known automobile manufacturers now have special departments for developing autonomous vehicles. This development leads to new challenges in the automobile sector. Besides the development of necessary components, one big challenge is the compliance with safety requirements. Autonomous vehicles need a large...
Despite of the popularity of activity-based travel behavior analysis, there is few studies taking the other peoples' travel behavior from neighboring household into model specification, and the effects of the socio-demographic and environmental determinants on different members in the same household are ignored. Using the data from 2013 Nanjing Resident Travel Survey, this paper applied the spatial...
Rear-end collisions occasionally cause severe multiple-collision accidents, especially in high-density and high-speed traffic. Avoiding the rear-end collisions is one of the critical issues since this type of collision has been the most significant factor among all types of traffic accident for many years. This research aims to develop a driver assistance system that informs the inferred intention...
A fleet forecast plan by analyzing the inner link between airport passenger volumes and aircraft productivity is used to identify the current and future quantities of aircrafts required. The proposed methodology is applied for the first time. A case to forecast the demand of fleets operated in China high-elevation areas is carried out to illustrate the application of the proposed model. The study...
The manufacturing industries are rapidly revolutionised by the growth of automotive manufacturers and their roles in our everyday lives. Owing to a steady rise in population and emissions, there is an increase in the demand for CVT based scooters especially in third world countries. This leads to higher probability of the occurrence of an accident. This paper proposes a smart active safety system...
Brake system design is considered quite challenging due to conflicting safety constraints imposed on the system performance. As several components are integrated into the system, design focused exclusively on a single element does not guarantee efficient system performance. As a consequence, no general rules are provided in developing this type of system. This paper aims at proposing a quick and intuitive...
Semi-trailer trucks generate the articulation angle during turning situation due to structural characteristics. This angle can cause the trailer to deviate from the road boundary and, thus, lead to collision with structures and/or vehicles on the roadway. In this study, a narrow passage assistant system is proposed using rear steering so that the semi-trailer truck is controlled inside the lane boundary...
With the recent advances in the field of autonomous driving, large scale deployment of such vehicles on public roads is both foreseeable and intended by many manufacturers. In order to not only maintain safety, but also driving comfort and comprehensibility at all times it is necessary to develop and implement modularized and standardized interfaces for planning and information exchange. In this paper,...
