Effect on Pavement Performance of a Subbase Layer Composed by Natural Aggregate and RAP
Abstract Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) recycling in pavement engineering can be actually carried out by means of hot recycling and cold recycling. An additional option arise from mixing with natural aggregates to build the sub-base layer. This...

Parameters Sensitive Analyses for Using Genetic Algorithm to Solve Continuous Network Design Problems
Abstract In this paper, we will discuss the parameters settings using genetic algorithm to solve continuous network design problems (CNDP). The CNDP is formulated as a bi-level programming model. A sensitive analysis method, one-at-atime designs, is ...

APP Method of Production Scheduling
Abstract This paper is aimed at a consistent approach from planning to actual implementation of the production. This consistency is achieved by a sequence of appropriate decision-making levels related information flows. In the area of production...

Implementation of an ultrasonic distance measuring system with kalman filtering in wireless sensor networks for transport logistics
Abstract In this paper an empirical study about distance measurements with ultrasonic sensors within an intermodal container is presented. In a previous work the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) was used for measuring the distance between...

Correlations between the evolution of contradictions and the law of identity increase
Abstract TRIZ literature largely claims the efficiency of Altshuller's Laws of Engineering System Evolution (LESE) as a means for producing technology forecasts. Besides, all the instruments and the procedures proposed so far suffer from poor...

A Data Mining Based Method for Route and Freight Estimation
Abstract We present a method, which makes use of historical vehicle data and current vehicle observations in order to estimate 1) the route a vehicle has used and 2) the freight the vehicle carried along the estimated route. The method includes a...

Model Test Study on vibration transferring of dynamic compaction of hydraulic filling foundation reinforcement
Abstract Dynamic compaction is a well known and effective method in ground improvement. The application of this method to structural engineering is often restricted because of its noise, vibration and construction environment. The objects of...

Evaluation and Assessment of Gravity Load on Mirror Shape of Parabolic Trough Solar Collectors
Abstract In order to achieve high optical collector and therefore high solar field efficiencies parabolic trough concentrators in concentrating solar power plants need to maintain their parabolic shape during operation. Additional to shape deviation ...

Reliability Sensitivity Algorithm Based on Stratified Importance Sampling Method for Multiple Failure Modes Systems
Abstract Combining the advantages of the stratified sampling and the importance sampling, a stratified importance sampling method (SISM) is presented to analyze the reliability sensitivity for structure with multiple failure modes. In the presented...

Traffic Delays Estimation in Two-lane Highway Reconstruction
Abstract An increasingly important issue, as congestion levels increase more and more, is that freeways become subject to rebuilding and restructuring when traffic cannot be re-routed. It has already been asserted that traffic simulation provides a...

The Project Management Cocktail Model: An Approach for Balancing Agile and ISO 21500
Abstract Modern PM methodologies emerged in the late 1950s and were formalized in 2012 in an International Organization for Standization (ISO) standard: ISO/FDIS 21500:2012, Guidance on Project Management. This ISO standard follows traditional...
