Abstract To contribute to the enhancement of unconventional local materials used for road construction, this study characterizes a crushed sand 0/5, a clayey soil and the litho-stabilized material without and with hydraulic binder and determines their use in accordance with some reference specifications (CEBTP 1984). It is shown that the different components are not usable alone in pavement base. Indeed, the plasticity index obtained for the clayey soil is 21%, a value higher than the imposed standards. In addition, the grading of the 0/5 crushed sand does not fit into the range proposed by CEBTP. A combination of these two (02)… More >

Abstract The timely and effective investment risk assessment and forecasting are of great significance to ensure the investment safety and sustainable development of wind energy along the Belt and Road. In order to obtain the scientific and real-time forecasting result, this paper constructs a novel hybrid intelligent model based on improved cloud model combined with GRA-TOPSIS and MBA-WLSSVM. Firstly, the factors influencing investment risk of wind energy along the Belt and Road are identified from three dimensions: endogenous risk, exogenous risk and process risk. Through the fuzzy threshold method, the final input index system is selected. Secondly, the risk evaluation method… More >

Abstract Nowadays, the number of vehicles in China has increased significantly. The increase of the number of vehicles has also led to the increasingly complex traffic situation and the urgent safety measures in need. However, the existing early warning devices such as geomagnetic, ultrasonic and infrared detection have some shortcomings like difficult installation and maintenance. In addition, geomagnetic detection will damage the road surface, while ultrasonic and infrared detection will be greatly affected by the environment. Considering the shortcomings of the existing solutions, this paper puts forward a solution of early warning for vehicle turning meeting based on image acquisition and… More >
