    Abstract In a multi-agent system, platoon vehicles receive a huge collection regarding autonomous models coordinating and their actions to improve traffic flow, lower fuel consumption, and boost safety. This paper examines the distributed consensus control problem for heterogeneous multi–agent systems (MASs) containing both first-order and second-order agents, under constrained network communication resources. Secondly, a novel event–triggered approach is proposed to tackle the problems of information transmission restrictions and bandwidth contention. Unlike conventional state-independent triggering methods, the proposed trigger condition depends on both the agent’s own state update error and the information mismatches between neighboring agents, enabling… More >

    A Review of Parking Trajectory Planning and Modeling Techniques for Autonomous Vehicles

    Xianjian Jin1,2,*, Yinchen Tao1, Yuhuai Zhang1, Haoze Wu1, Jianning Lu1, Nonsly Valerienne Opinat Ikiela1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.148, No.3, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.082644 - 28 September 2026
    Abstract Autonomous parking is a key bottleneck to achieving fully autonomous driving, especially in the final parking problem of automated valet parking (AVP). Unlike traditional structured highway driving, parking scenarios impose stringent requirements on trajectory feasibility, and it requires the simultaneous resolution of nonholonomic motion constraints, narrow passage navigation, and collision avoidance in unstructured environments. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of parking trajectory planning and modeling techniques. Different aspects of parking trajectory planning strategies and modeling methodologies in recent literature are categorized into six major classes: graph-search-based methods, sampling-based methods, artificial potential field (APF)-based methods, More >

    Abstract Deep learning has become increasingly important in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based computer vision, but its application to three-dimensional MRI is still shaped by a basic methodological decision: how volumetric data are represented before model training. A 3D MRI scan may be processed as independent 2D slices, adjacent-slice 2.5D inputs, full 3D volumes, local patches, regions of interest, or multi-view representations. These choices influence spatial-context modeling, computational cost, annotation requirements, architectural design, and task suitability. This review provides a paradigm-oriented overview of recent 3D MRI-based computer vision studies, focusing on the relationships among datasets, input representations,… More >

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: The Collection of the Latest Reviews on Advances and Challenges in AI)
    Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is an essential medical imaging technique that produces high-resolution cross-sectional images, but delivers substantial radiation dose to patients. Sparse-view CT (SVCT) reduces radiation dose by decreasing projection views, but causes streak artifacts that degrade image quality. Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool to address this challenge. Although prospective paired acquisitions for low-current/voltage CT may be constrained by radiation-dose management and clinical workflow considerations, SVCT provides a practical way to construct paired training data through retrospective angular downsampling of full-view projections. This survey provides a systematic review of deep learning–based SVCT, More >

    Abstract Accurate and computationally efficient numerical modelling of damage and fracture in heterogeneous materials requires the incorporation of a multiscale approach. However, the information transfer between the lower and upper scale with the presence of a specific damage algorithm represents a significant challenge. This paper presents a robust two-scale concurrent multiscale approach for modelling damage and fracture in brittle and ductile heterogeneous materials. The developed multiscale procedure utilises the self-consistent clustering analysis (SCA) at the microlevel, and a phase-field (PF) fracture method at the macrolevel in order to meet the main criteria of an accurate and… More >

    Abstract A mechanics-based analytical framework is developed for estimating the steady bending force and shaft torque in central-axis bending of reinforcing bars (RBs). Analytical expressions are derived for the sectional bending moment and are subsequently linked to the machine-level force and torque through the roller-system load-transfer geometry. Three constitutive descriptions are considered, namely elastic-perfectly plastic, bilinear hardening, and power-law hardening, to examine the influence of post-yield material response on bending-demand estimation. The analytical formulations are assessed using a section-level pure-bending finite element model, a process-level three-dimensional finite element model with tool-bar contact, and reported smooth round-bar… More >

    Abstract In this study, the two-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) was employed to investigate how the frequency of cyclic loading affects the liquefaction behavior of granular materials. A stress-controlled undrained cyclic biaxial loading method was implemented, and a series of numerical simulations were carried out across a wide range of loading frequencies. The simulation results reveal that cyclic loading frequency has negligible influence on the material’s behavior prior to liquefaction. However, it delays the development of excess pore water pressure and axial strain during and after liquefaction, a phenomenon referred to as the “delay effect”. This… More >

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: AI-Enhanced Computational Methods in Engineering and Physical Science)
    Abstract Punching shear failure at a single slab–column joint can trigger rapid load redistribution and cascading damage in reinforced concrete flat-slab systems, making component-level reliability assessment insufficient for evaluating progressive-collapse risk. Moreover, direct Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) coupled with nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis is computationally prohibitive for rare-event system reliability problems involving multiple uncertainties. To address these challenges, this study proposes a two-stage machine learning–finite element (ML–FE) framework for system failure assessment of reinforced concrete flat-slab structures. In Stage I, an ML surrogate trained on 610 experimental slab–column joint tests predicts punching shear resistance and… More >

    Abstract Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) enables construction waste reuse, but surface micro-cracks on recycled aggregates (RA) and multiple ITZs from old adhered mortar create extra sulfate transport paths, undermining RAC’s sulfate resistance. Current studies largely examine single modification methods’ effects on durability, yet lack sufficient predictive power for how such modifications influence final material properties. This study evaluated nine concrete mixtures comprising 297 cube specimens and employed sulfate wet-dry cycling experiments combined with XRD and SEM microscopic characterization to investigate the coupled influence of carbonation-treated RA and fly ash addition on the compressive strength development and… More >

    Abstract Initial geometric imperfections critically affect cylindrical-shell buckling, yet the influence of imperfection morphology remains difficult to separate from that of amplitude. This study develops an interpretable machine-learning-assisted framework for stochastic buckling assessment of cylindrical shells with random geometric imperfections. Circumferentially continuous Gaussian imperfection fields with different normalized correlation lengths are generated under a fixed root-mean-square (RMS) amplitude. Nonlinear Riks analyses are performed to construct a finite-element database of the corresponding buckling responses. Feature diagnosis is used to identify response-relevant descriptors of imperfection morphology.

    Abstract Evaluating objectives and constraints in complex dynamical or multi-physics systems can take minutes to hours per design point, which motivates the use of artificial neural network (ANN) surrogates; in practice, however, their architectures and hyperparameters are still largely chosen by trial and error. This study proposes the Adaptive Multi-scale Grid Search with Ensemble Integration (AMGSE), an automated framework that constructs ANN surrogates from a fixed, previously generated dataset under an explicit training-time budget and without any additional calls to the expensive model. AMGSE couples four explicit decision rules: budget-tiered search scales, dataset-size-triggered complexity scaling, multi-restart… More >

    Abstract Weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) is widely used for computational modeling of violent free surface flows, but the equation of state pressure is sensitive to density error, deficient wall support, and local particle disorder. We develop an adaptive density regularization method for pressure stabilization in WCSPH. The method computes the raw summation density, a local kernel averaged density, and a bounded blended density used only for pressure evaluation through the Tait equation of state. The transport density definition, particle mass, and diagnostic density are retained; particle motion is affected only through the pressure values… More >

    Abstract Nanofluid-cooled microchannel heat sinks (NCMHS) feature high heat dissipation efficiency and serve as a critical thermal management solution for electronic devices. This study employs a computationally efficient multi-layer modeling approach to conduct three-layer topological optimisation of the NCMHS. The flow and heat transfer within the NCMHS are described using a single-phase nanofluid-based thermofluid model that accounts for temperature-sensitive fluid properties. On this basis, a three-layer thermofluid model of the NCMHS is constructed by introducing assumptions regarding the velocity profile and an adaptive temperature profile in the thickness direction, together with the interlayer coupled heat flux… More >

    Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become the benchmark approach for analyzing hydrogen explosions because it accurately resolves transient shock-wave propagation and complex blast-wave interactions. However, high-fidelity CFD simulations remain computationally expensive for repeated safety evaluation and large-scale parametric studies. To address this limitation, this study proposes a deep learning-based spatiotemporal surrogate framework for reconstructing transient three-dimensional (3D) hydrogen explosion overpressure fields. High-resolution CFD datasets were generated using the OpenFOAM-based radXiFoam solver by systematically varying blast-wall height and setback distance, producing approximately 20.4 million spatiotemporal pressure samples from 1859 monitoring locations.

This study establishes a physically based early warning framework by integrating critical suction stress–depth profiles with rainfall I–D thresholds derived from limit equilibrium analysis and unified effective stress theory. Requiring only rainfall data, the framework does not depend on real-time subsurface monitoring and thus remains applicable in data-limited regions.

    Abstract EPITIME, a computational framework for the simulation of two classes of integral epidemic models, namely an age of infection model and an information-dependent behavioural model, is presented. The main contributions of this work are the design and implementation of a modular MATLAB/Python software environment built upon previously developed structure-preserving non-standard finite difference discretizations. The solvers are complemented by input parsing and validation routines, performance indicators, reproducibility tools and user-oriented graphical interfaces. The preserved structures are specific to the underlying model and include positivity, monotonicity, final-size behaviour and extinction of infectivity for the age of infection… More >

    Abstract Evolutionary multitasking optimization (EMTO) is an emerging research direction in evolutionary computation (EC), with its core objective being the collaborative solution of multiple problems through inter-task knowledge transfer (KT). In classical EMTO algorithms, KT typically relies on the direct exchange or crossover of individuals between populations. However, such transfer strategies often follow singular rules or direct transplantation, which struggle to adequately adapt to the dynamically evolving distributional differences between tasks, and may lead to inefficient transfer or even negative transfer. To tackle this issue, this study presents HKTMTO, a multitask differential evolution algorithm built upon More >

    Abstract The reconstruction of chaotic time series can be considered fundamental for modeling nonlinear dynamical systems and enabling real-time processing applications. However, their hardware implementation remains challenging due to the inherent complexity and high sensitivity to initial conditions exhibited by chaotic systems. The proposed work shows that artificial neural networks based on multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) provide an efficient approach for approximating nonlinear dynamics and are well suited for implementation on reconfigurable hardware platforms such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). In this manner, an MLP is trained in software using Python and the scikit-learn library to… More >

    Abstract Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) are emerging as a key enabler for intelligent transportation systems, smart aerial mobility, disaster response, surveillance, and environmental monitoring. However, their highly dynamic topology, rapid node mobility, intermittent connectivity, and limited energy resources pose major challenges for reliable routing. Existing routing protocols largely depend on instantaneous network information and lack predictive intelligence, leading to unstable links, increased overhead, and degraded performance in dynamic environments. To address these issues, this study proposes a Digital Twin-driven Trust-Aware PSO-based routing framework (DT-TAPSO) for UAV-assisted smart mobility and disaster-aware FANETs.

    Lane-Changing Intention-Aware Vehicle Trajectory Prediction via Mutual Information-Guided Feature Selection and a Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network–Transformer Architecture

    Huaran Zhou1, Gaoteng Yuan2, Ping Qiu1,*
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.148, No.3, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.086179 - 28 September 2026
    Abstract Accurate vehicle trajectory prediction and lane-changing intention recognition are essential for autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems, as they support motion planning, collision avoidance, and risk assessment. Existing deep learning methods often use high-dimensional trajectory variables without explicitly evaluating their relevance, which may introduce redundant information and reduce computational efficiency. In addition, local motion variations and long-range temporal dependencies are frequently modeled in isolation, although both are important for representing lane-changing behavior. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a joint intention-and-trajectory prediction framework that combines mutual-information-guided feature selection with a hybrid convolutional neural network… More >

    Abstract With the introduction of vehicles with autonomous capabilities on public roads, predicting pedestrian crossing intention has emerged as an active area of research. The task of predicting pedestrian crossing intention involves determining whether pedestrians in the scene are likely to cross the road or not. In this work, we propose TrajFusionNet, a novel transformer-based model that leverages future pedestrian trajectory and vehicle speed predictions as priors for predicting crossing intention. TrajFusionNet comprises two branches: a Sequence Attention Module (SAM) and a Visual Attention Module (VAM). The SAM branch learns from a sequential representation of the More >

    Abstract This study addresses the automated conversion of unstructured Kazakh journalistic text into structured tabular representations. Existing text-to-table approaches are commonly developed for high-resource languages, rely on fixed schemas, or require computationally expensive full-model fine-tuning. These limitations reduce their applicability to morphologically rich low-resource languages and heterogeneous news collections. We propose a morphology-aware dual-regime framework for Kazakh text-to-table generation. The framework extends a Text-Tuple-Table pipeline with semantic chunking based on cosine-similarity thresholds, thematic grouping using k-means clustering, anchor-based factual cue detection, and large language model-based table generation.

    Abstract Current 3D Human Pose and Shape estimation methods predominantly focus on numerical coordinate regression, treating pose analysis as a geometric mapping task rather than a structured reasoning problem. This reliance on quantitative output creates an interpretability gap, as these models fail to provide high-level, qualitative justifications for their predictions, such as why a specific pose is physically unstable or biomechanically incorrect. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel framework that leverages neuro-symbolic reasoning for the analysis of human poses from multimodal inputs. Our approach integrates symbolic expressions and logical deduction rules into a large… More >

    Abstract Infrared ship detection is an important deep learning-based pattern recognition task for maritime visual perception, where accurate target recognition under complex thermal backgrounds is essential for intelligent monitoring and real-time decision support. However, low target-background contrast, sea-wave thermal textures, coastline heat-source interference, and specular thermal reflections in infrared maritime imaging weaken discriminative ship patterns and reduce recognition reliability in complex scenes. To address these challenges, we propose an edge-oriented infrared ship detection method for real-time maritime monitoring.

    Abstract Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification requires models that can effectively capture long-range contextual dependencies while preserving fine-grained spectral–spatial variations under strict computational constraints. Recent transformer-based approaches, particularly Swin Transformers, have shown strong performance by leveraging localized self-attention; however, their reliance on generic attention mechanisms often overlooks frequency-sensitive information that is critical for discriminating spectrally similar materials. Moreover, existing frequency-aware designs typically introduce heavy parameterization or explicit spectral transforms, limiting their efficiency and practical deployment. In this paper, we propose FEAM-Swin, a lightweight frequency-aware Swin Transformer designed for efficient HSI classification. The proposed model introduces a novel… More >

    Abstract Facial emotion recognition (FER) remains difficult in real-world settings. Inter-subject variability, lighting changes, occlusion, and class imbalance all limit performance. Most FER systems rely on one convolutional or transformer backbone. This narrows the features available for classification. This paper presents Dual-Stream FERNet. It is a carefully evaluated integration of an EfficientNetV2-S backbone with a Swin Transformer Tiny backbone, joined by a learnable sigmoid-gated fusion module. Before fine-tuning, both branches undergo SimCLR-style self-supervised pre-training on two augmented views. This gives a stronger initialization without extra labels.

Conventional image-only supervised learning uses disease labels primarily as prediction targets and may underutilize the cross-sample relational structure contained in multi-label disease annotations, thereby limiting disease-aware representation learning. Structured disease-label-guided contrastive pre-training provides a promising solution by encoding report-derived disease-label vectors as an auxiliary training view and aligning them with image representations through contrastive learning, while preserving image-only inference. In this formulation, the binary disease-label vector serves as both the structured input to the auxiliary… More >
