Characterizing Truck Parking Shortages In Arkansas: A Data Analytical Approach, Morgan Hartsell

Industrial Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses

The Truck Parking Problem occurs when drivers have met the daily driving limit and encounter a decision between driving over time or parking in unauthorized locations. This research applies data analytics to gain further knowledge to characterize the truck parking shortage in Arkansas. Truck parking shortages are a serious problem that truck drivers face daily and is complex due to Hours of Service (HOS) regulations restrictions on legal parking areas and design. Existing research includes a one-day annual survey which compiles where public rest stops, businesses, and private rest stops are utilized by truck drivers. This research expands on the …

A Simulation Study Of Power Battery Grouping Equalization System, Zhu Hao, Daxing Xia

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: A grouping equalizer scheme of lithium-ion battery pack is proposed based on cuk chopper circuit and flyback transformer balanced circuits. The grouping equalizer process could be divided into two stages: balance of cell sub-group and balance between cell sub-group. Cuk chopper circuit is used in the balance of cell sub-group for transferring the energy between adjacent cells. Bidirectional flyback transformer is employed in the balance between cell sub-group. Any optional sub-group can be balanced and the balanced energy can be transferred bidirectionally. Finally, a balanced circuit model is created in Matlab/Simulink for simulation. Simulation results show that the grouping …

A New Era For Reuse Social Enterprises In Ireland? The Capacities Required For Achieving Sustainability, Gerard Doyle

Articles

The conventional linear relationship between production and consumption is no longer sustainable. A key component of the transition towards a more sustainable society is the continuation in use of products for longer and the development of a repair and reuse culture. Reuse social enterprises contribute to addressing a range of environmental, economic and social issues facing urban areas. This paper is concerned with, firstly, the motivations for citizens to establish reuse social enterprises in Ireland. Secondly, the paper examines the factors that contribute to reuse social enterprises in Ireland becoming sustainable.

The research points to the necessity of reuse social …

Maximum Axial Load Carrying Capacity Of Fibre Reinforced-Polymer (Frp) Bar Reinforced Concrete Columns Under Axial Compression, Hayder Alaa Hasan, M Neaz Sheikh, Muhammad N. S Hadi

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

In this study, a new equation is proposed to compute the maximum axial load carrying capacity of FRP bar reinforced concrete columns under axial compression. The equation proposed in this study was critically compared with the equations proposed in the previous research studies using a wide range of experimental data taken from the available literature. In general, it was found that computing the contribution of the FRP longitudinal bars in concrete columns based on the modulus of elasticity (stiffness) of the FRP bars provides more rational predictions than computing the contribution of the FRP longitudinal bars based on the ultimate …
