A Method Using GIS Integrated Voronoi Diagrams for Commuter Rail Station Identification: A Case Study from Brasilia (Brazil)
Abstract This article describes a station location method for a commuter rail system applying a GIS integrated Voronoi diagrams. The method comes from a previously defined track line and considers the stations area coverage. As parameters to define...

Failure of the chassis of roller skates for agonistic figure skating
Abstract The subject of this work was to investigate the early failure, which occurred in the chassis of a roller skate for figure skating. The paper deals with the preliminary analysis of the crack and with the integrated approach, which had to be...

Gap Analysis of Current Industrial Challenges and the State-of-the-Art in Pedestrian Modelling
Abstract We present a gap analysis that maps the current problem classes being addressed by the pedestrian modelling community to the current classes of problem faced by pedestrian mobility consultants in industry. A review of the PED2010...

An Exploration into Measurement Consistency on Coordinate Measuring Machines
Abstract In high precision industry, the measurement of geometry is often performed using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Measurements on CMMs can occur at many places within a long and global supply chain. In this context it is a challenge to ...

New design equations for estimation of ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations resting on rock masses
Abstract Rock masses are commonly used as the underlying layer of important structures such as bridges, dams and transportation constructions. The success of a foundation design for such structures mainly depends on the accuracy of estimating the...

Dynamic system uncertainty propagation using polynomial chaos
Abstract The classic polynomial chaos method (PCM), characterized as an intrusive methodology, has been applied to uncertainty propagation (UP) in many dynamic systems. However, the intrusive polynomial chaos method (IPCM) requires tedious...

Methodology for Leakage Isolation Using Pressure Sensitivity and Correlation Analysis in Water Distribution Systems
Abstract In this paper is presented a novel leakage localization approach that is calibrated on real networks. Leakage positions are usually inferred by measuring pressure in a certain number of the nodes of the network. Since pressure sensors are...
