: Recently aviation accident data shows that many fatal accidents in aviation are due to airworthiness issues despite the fact that all civil and private aircraft are required to comply with the airworthiness standards set by their national airworthiness authority. This paper presents a unique approach to continuous airworthiness problems optimization needed to reduce the risk associated with the gap between aircraft designers & manufacturing organization and continuing airworthiness (state of civil aviation authority and air operators). As a result of the paper summarizes these problems and searching of the possible solutions to be optimized, these problems are achieved to get more integration between (designers& manufacturing and air operators), finally the recommendations are drawn to address the safe operation of the aircraft and can be given to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) for more integration between all of them structure.

: Motorcycles are the riskiest mode of travel in Malaysia, however motorcycles are also very sensitive to the road surface condition. Thus, by taking advantage of this, a system of software applications that analyses motorcycle motion and mapped out risky road sections was developed, i.e. ROCOM. The system consists of three major components, i.e. ROCOM Data Logger app, which utilizes a smart phone to collect acceleration data, ROCOM Risk Mapping app, which is a web-based application, and ROCOM Visual Tracking, which is a stand along software. ROCOM is able to detect adverse acceleration (> 2g) or vibration on the road surface similar to the High Accuracy GPS Data Logging for Vehicle Testing (VBOX). Risk mapping validation along a section of the motorcycle lane along Federal Route 2 shows that not only ROCOM have the similar risk-mapping pattern, but its route tracking capability on the map is far superior that the VBOX. The pilot and field test results showed that ROCOM works best when mounting the smartphone on the motorcycle handle bar or basket, and it can detect various road anomalies with successful detection rate of 62%, with high detection rate when passing through uneven road surfaces.
:摩托车是马来西亚最危险的出行方式,但摩托车对路面状况也非常敏感。因此,利用这一点,开发了一个分析摩托车运动并绘制危险路段地图的软件应用系统,即ROCOM。该系统由三个主要组件组成,即利用智能手机收集加速度数据的ROCOM Data Logger应用程序、基于网络的ROCOM Risk Mapping应用程序和独立软件ROCOM Visual Tracking。ROCOM能够检测路面上的不利加速度(>2g)或振动,类似于车辆测试的高精度GPS数据记录(VBOX)。沿着联邦2号公路的一段摩托车车道进行的风险映射验证表明,ROCOM不仅具有类似的风险映射模式,而且其在地图上的路线跟踪能力远优于VBOX。中试和现场测试结果表明,ROCOM在将智能手机安装在摩托车车把或车筐上时效果最好,可以检测各种道路异常,成功检测率为62%,在通过不平路面时检测率很高。

Recycling is the running trend through all over the world. To save money and keep environment pollution free recycling of waste materials is the best way. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is such type of waste materials, which are obtained huge amount from spoiled pavement. During this investigation an attempt is made to study the behavior of RAP materials for reuse in road construction. Aggregate Crushing Value, Aggregate Impact Value, Loss Angeles Abrasion Value and Ten percent fine value tests are also performed to determine the strength properties of coarse aggregate. Standard Marshall Mix Design procedure is followed in the design and testing of those mixes. The study reveals that untreated RAP materials are not good as a bituminous mix, but it can be acceptable with additional 1% bitumen content for use in the surface course of bituminous pavement. The investigation also indicates the possibility of adding coarse aggregate from RAP materials in the bituminous mixes with fresh aggregates, which gives satisfactory results. In our Indian subcontinent like Bangladesh, the rate of using RAP materials is very low. For that reason, the findings of the study will help in the development of sustainable road infrastructure for recycling in Indian Subcontinent.

There is a growing in number of operations in aviation all over the world. This growing is increasing the necessity of innovation and new technology to respond the increment of the demand. As a respond of this demand, FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is working with NextGen in the United States and the EUROCONTROL is implementing the Point Merge as solution in the air traffic flow management in Europe. However, the FAA alternative and EUROCONTROL alternative are not mutually exclusive since Panama, a small country in Latin America, is trying to use a combination between the vectoring approach and the Point Merge in the air traffic flow management. In addition, the AAC (Autoridad de Aereonautica Civil) and the Tocumen (Tocumen International Airport) are working in a continuous collaboration between FAA and Panama with the mutual challenge to improve the actual system. As a result, the main airline of Panama, the Compañía Panameña de Aviación (COPA Airlines), and the Autoridad de Aeronáutica Civil (AAC) constructed a simulation model to select an air traffic flow alternative that can be able to change the actual situation. In other words, COPA Airlines and AAC are pursuing the minimization of the numbers of conflicts, the number of sequence actions, the flight time, the track flight distance and the fuel burn. Furthermore, this study aims to use the final draft of this previous analysis based on a simulation methodology to conduct a Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments with the final objective to increment the statistical significance of the actual model.
全世界航空业务的数量在不断增长。这种增长增加了创新和新技术的必要性,以应对需求的增加。作为对这一需求的回应,美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)正在与美国NextGen公司合作,欧洲航空控制组织(EUROCONTROL)正在实施点合并,作为欧洲空中交通流量管理的解决方案。然而,FAA的替代方案和EUROCONTROL的替代方案并不相互排斥,因为巴拿马是拉丁美洲的一个小国,正在尝试在空中交通流量管理中使用矢量方法和点合并的结合。此外,AAC(民用航空管理局)和Tocumen(托库门国际机场)正在FAA和巴拿马之间持续合作,共同挑战改进实际系统。因此,巴拿马的主要航空公司Compañía Panameña de Aviación (COPA Airlines)和Aeronáutica Civil Autoridad de Aeronáutica (AAC)构建了一个仿真模型,以选择能够改变实际情况的空中交通流量替代方案。换句话说,COPA航空公司和AAC都在追求冲突次数、顺序动作次数、飞行时间、轨道飞行距离和燃油消耗的最小化。此外,本研究旨在利用基于仿真方法的上述分析的最终草案进行计算机实验的设计和分析,最终目的是增加实际模型的统计显著性。

There have been a large number of accidents at level crossings of railways and this has been considered to be a significant issue to be solved for the realization of safe and stable railway transport. A conventional level crossing control system is characterized by the use of two types of electronic train detectors; one detects a train approaching to a level crossing section and the other then detects the train having left the level crossing. By contrast, closed-loop level crossing control systems in which level crossing control equipment and train-borne equipment communicate with each other have been advocated and are expected to serve as an effective solution to the abovementioned issue. This paper describes the following three types of closed-loop level crossing control systems: decentralized level crossing control system, fully-centralized comprehensive level crossing control system and fully-centralized individual level crossing control system. This paper then assesses the safety of these systems in comparison to the conventional level crossing control system. For the purpose of the assessment of their safety, a new accident analysis model called STAMP (systems theoretic accident model and processes) that is suitable for software intensive systems is used to clarify the advantage of the proposed three types of level crossing control systems in terms of safety.

As one of the UAIDs (unconventional alternative intersection designs), DLTs (displaced left-turn crossovers) have been presented to mitigate traffic congestion. Although, qualitatively and quantitatively isolated UAIDs outperform their conventional counterparts, there is no simplified procedure to consider the DLTs coordination. Hence, this research investigates the coordination of consecutive DLTs under heterogeneous traffic conditions. To achieve the optimal coordination and provide an efficient coordination control, a bandwidth maximization progression approach was used. Seeking the optimal offset for each pair of consecutive intersections to guarantee the green bandwidth waves along the coordinated corridor, a mixed-integer linear program was adopted. The optimization problem was formulated and solved based on the standard branch-and-bound technique. As a real-world study case, data of three typical intersections located in an arterial corridor in Cairo, Egypt was used. PTV-VISSIM as a microsimulation platform was employed to simulate and evaluate the different signal timing plans. However, to represent the heterogeneous traffic characteristics as close as possible to the reality, different simulation parameters were tuned and validated carefully. The results emphasized the undoubted improvement of coordinated DLTs by different operational performance indices. The total travel time, average delay, the number of stops per vehicle were obviously improved.

: The realization of a clean automobile society would require electrically-powered propulsion systems in vehicles. In recent years, electric vehicles have attracted considerable attention from the perspective of utilizing electricity generated from natural sources, such as solar and wind power. The propulsion method considered in the present investigation differs from the conventional off-board energy scheme in a manner such that pure stoichiometric H 2/ O 2 fuels for fuel cells are generated on-board during vehicle operation. In this method, energy conversion occurs by means of ESI-PSE (electrostatic-induction potential-superposed electrolysis). If a quasi-static process is assumed, the theoretical power requirement to produce pure stoichiometric H 2/ O 2 fuels is only 17% of the total energy required owing to a new method for supplying power to the EC (electrolytic cell). If an ESI-PSE EC is combined with a fuel cell (FC) to form an energy cycle, a HREG (hydrogen redox electric power generator) that uses solid PEMs (polymer electrolyte membranes) for the EC as well as the FC can be realized. According to calculations based on data from the operational conditions of commercially available ECs and FCs, more than 70% of the power delivered from the FC can be extracted for driving a motor constantly while a car is in motion. Because of energy self-sustainability on the HREG side, the power control system should not have any power loss. This propulsion system will realize tough vehicles that can continue running at a top speed at long unlimited cruising range.

The soundscape of an expressway in Zagreb was recorded and reproduced to two groups of listeners while they were performing a concentration demanding task – a simplified variation of the memory game. This expressway was chosen due to the high traffic frequency and on the other hand, due to the large number of residential buildings that are near the expressway. The focus of the research is whether the residents of a large city, in their daily life have adapted to this noise and how. We also wanted to investigate what is the main reason of their annoyance and distraction. Furthermore, we wanted to quantify human distraction with this typical urban soundscape by developing and then using the acoustic model for total distraction level.
