Abstract Nature has its own astonishing capabilities to cleanse polluted environment. Living green drapes on buildings look elegant providing sustainable solutions in congested metropolises. VIT University promotes green values within the country. The walls of a subway connecting the main campus and hostel premises are draped with Vernonia elaeagnifolia, which was found to be efficient in capturing vehicular pollution. An experimental study established deposition patterns of pollutants. Thereafter, diffusive uptake modelling elucidated the mechanistic details of mass transport through the plant tissues. It is expected that the results of this paper will promote the use of green facades within built environment. More >

Abstract We present a short retrospective review of the existing literature about the dynamics of (dry) granular matter under the effect of vibrations. The main objective is the development of an integrated resource where vital information about past findings and recent discoveries is provided in a single treatment. Special attention is paid to those works where successful synthetic routes to as-yet unknown phenomena were identified. Such landmark results are analyzed, while smoothly blending them with a history of the field and introducing possible categorizations of the prevalent dynamics. Although no classification is perfect, and it is hard to distillate general properties… More >

Abstract Traffic scene captioning technology automatically generates one or more sentences to describe the content of traffic scenes by analyzing the content of the input traffic scene images, ensuring road safety while providing an important decision-making function for sustainable transportation. In order to provide a comprehensive and reasonable description of complex traffic scenes, a traffic scene semantic captioning model with multi-stage feature enhancement is proposed in this paper. In general, the model follows an encoder-decoder structure. First, multi-level granularity visual features are used for feature enhancement during the encoding process, which enables the model to learn more detailed content in the… More >

Abstract Traffic prediction is a necessary function in intelligent transportation systems to alleviate traffic congestion. Graph learning methods mainly focus on the spatiotemporal dimension, but ignore the nonlinear movement of traffic prediction and the high-order relationships among various kinds of road segments. There exist two issues: 1) deep integration of the spatiotemporal information and 2) global spatial dependencies for structural properties. To address these issues, we propose a nonlinear spatiotemporal optimization method, which introduces hypergraph convolution networks (HGCN). The method utilizes the higher-order spatial features of the road network captured by HGCN, and dynamically integrates them with the historical data to… More >

Abstract Gas transport through nanochannels is ubiquitous in nature and also plays an important role in industry. The gas flow in this regime can be described by the Knudsen theory, which assumes that molecules diffusely reflect on the confining walls [1]. However, with the emergence of low dimensional carbon-based materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, it has been evidenced that this assumption might not hold for some atomically smooth surfaces, resulting in an anomalous enhancement of gas flux [2]. Moreover, in Knudsen theory, gas molecules are usually treated as mass points and distinguished solely by molecular weight, which cannot interpret… More >

Abstract In this paper, the application of transportation systems in real-time traffic conditions is evaluated with data handling representations. The proposed method is designed in such a way as to detect the number of loads that are present in a vehicle where functionality tasks are computed in the system. Compared to the existing approach, the design model in the proposed method is made by dividing the computing areas into several cluster regions, thereby reducing the complex monitoring system where control errors are minimized. Furthermore, a route management technique is combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to transmit the data to appropriate… More >

Abstract The hydraulic and thermal simulation of crude oil pipeline transportation is greatly significant for the safe transportation and accurate regulation of pipelines. With reasonable basic parameters, the solution of the traditional partial differential equation (PDE) for the axial soil temperature field on the pipeline can obtain accurate simulation results, yet it brings about a low calculation efficiency problem. In order to overcome the low-efficiency problem, an efficient and robust hybrid solution model for soil temperature field coupling with Bayesian neural network and PDE is proposed, which considers the dynamic changes of boundary conditions. Four models, including the proposed hybrid model,… More >

Abstract Composite materials may be subjected to an extreme condition where the surface is exposed to high-energy photon radiation (e.g., laser radiation), which can cause severe damage and destruction of the structure component. How the radiation energy is deposited in the composite material can greatly influence the subsequent damage process, which may include local heating, phase transformation, heat-induced shock waves, plasticity, etc. While the interaction of high-energy photons with homogeneous materials have been well studied, it is still a challenge to model the photon transport in composite materials, which have been increasingly used in more and more structural components. In this… More >

Abstract Dynamics of a single particle suspended in a low-Reynolds-number fluid under spherical confinement was studied numerically. We calculated hydrodynamic mobilities of a sphere, a prolate spheroid, and an oblate spheroid parallel and transverse to particle-cavity line of centres. The mobilities show maximum in the cavity centre and decay as the particle moves towards the no-slip wall. For prolate and oblate spheroids, their mobilities are also affected by the angle between particle's axis of revolution and the particle-cavity line of centres due to particle anisotropy. It was observed that the effect of particle anisotropy becomes stronger as the confinement level increases.… More >

Abstract Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) are becoming increasingly popular as they support efficient coordinated transport. ITSs aim to improve the safety, efficiency and reliability of road transportation through integrated approaches to the exchange of relevant information. Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) and vehicle ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are integral components of ITS. The VANET is composed of interconnected vehicles with sensitivity capabilities to exchange traffic, positioning, weather and emergency information. One of the main challenges in VANET is the reliable and timely dissemination of information between vehicular nodes to improve decision-making processes. This paper illustrates challenges in VANET and reviews possible solutions to… More >
