Modern day roadside mowing operations in Indiana are performed by contractors operating tractors that pull flex-wing mowers. These mowing operations span over 11,000 miles of road across the state and create serious risk for human operators. Autonomous mowers can provide a safer alternative, but a replacement system must demonstrate an acceptable level of trust before large-scale deployment. A high-fidelity digital-twin environment can facilitate the capability to rapidly test and evaluate platforms in their desired application, while enabling zero real-world risk, a wide range of test variables, and repeatability of a test setup. The simulation environment must be at a level …

Geospatial Analysis Of Agricultural Potential In The United States, Diana Febrita
Graduate Industrial Research Symposium
Traditionally, the agriculture sector is responsible for providing food and crop products. However, the role of agriculture has expanded beyond its traditional function. It is the main sector that contributes to the provision of food, income, employment, environmental protection, and local economic development. Reflecting on the roles of agriculture, understanding the potential of agriculture in the United States is crucial to discovering the prospects and challenges. This study will briefly discuss the agricultural potential in the United States based on the five assets, including natural capital, financial capital, human capital, physical capital, and social capital. To identify the states with …

Evaluating The Environmental Impacts Of U.S. Historical Oil Spill Incidents, Yiming Liu, Hua Cai
Graduate Industrial Research Symposium
Exposure to risks associated with the production and usage of products, particularly oil, poses significant threats to both ecological systems and human health. Notable examples include the Gulf War Oil Spill (1991) and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (2010). However, numerous smaller-scale oil spills, which collectively contribute to substantial oil releases, often remain overlooked. To fill this gap, our study first developed a detailed oil spill incidents database, covering 1967 to 2023. We quantified the released amount (RA) of oil spills recorded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Subsequently, we utilized life cycle impact indicators in ReCiPe to …
