With the increasing demand for clean and green energy in the transport sector, its energy system is expected to achieve low-carbon and highly efficient energy utilization in rail transit. However, the gradual development of the rail transport energy system has led to an increase in its complexity, and the rising difficulty of system assessment has faced the limitations of traditional assessment methods. Hence, it is essential to develop effective assessment methods. This paper begins by providing a systematic review of the development status of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) assessment and analyzing the shortcomings of traditional RAMS assessment technology in the context of rail transit energy systems. Subsequently, based on the four fundamental properties of RAMS, it summarizes the current state of key assessment technologies in the field of rail transit. Moreover, the paper delves into the challenges and potential solutions concerning the implementation of RAMS assessment technology for rail transit energy systems.

Two adaptive observers are designed to detect state-of-charge faults and voltage sensor faults, considering the impact of battery aging. Battery aging primarily affects capacity and resistance, becoming more pronounced in the later stages of a battery lifespan. By incorporating aging effects into our fault diagnosis scheme, our proposed approach prevents false or missed alarms for the aged battery cells. The aging effect of battery, capacity fading and resistance growth, are considered unknown parameters. An adaptive observer is employed to design a fault detector, considering unknown parameters in the battery model. The adaptive observers are designed for two different scenarios: In the first scenario, it is presumed that aging effects remain constant over time due to their slow rate of change. Then, it is assumed that aging effects are time-varying. Therefore, the fault detection scheme can detect faults of new battery cells as well as aged cells. Some simulations have been conducted on a Lithium-ion battery cell and extended to battery pack, to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach in more real-world scenarios. The results showed that the designed observers can detect faults correctly in a seven years old battery as well as a new one.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100596,"journal":{"name":"Green Energy and Intelligent Transportation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773153724000173/pdfft?md5=2457a5d15917c4653e8c47b7a2af194b&pid=1-s2.0-S2773153724000173-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139539634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Benefiting from the application of Connected Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in the foreseeing future, it is promising to fully utilize spatiotemporal resources at intersections through cooperative and intelligent trajectory planning for CAVs. Lane-free traffic is currently a highly anticipated solution that can achieve more flexible trajectories without being limited by lane boundaries. However, it is challenging to apply efficient lane-free traffic to be compatible with the traditional intersection control mode for mixed flow composed of CAVs and Human-driving Vehicles (HVs). To address the research gap, this paper proposes a spatiotemporal-restricted A∗ algorithm to obtain efficient and flexible lane-free trajectories for CAVs. First, we restrict the feasible area of the heuristic search algorithm by considering the feasible area and orientation of vehicles to maintain the trajectory directionality of different turning behaviors. Second, we propose a spatiotemporal sparse sampling method by defining the four-dimensional spatiotemporal grid to accelerate the execution of the heuristic search algorithm. Third, we consider the motions of HVs as dynamic obstacles with rational trajectory fluctuation during the process of trajectory planning for CAVs. The proposed method can retain the advantage of efficiently exploring feasible trajectories through the hybrid A∗ algorithm, while also utilizing multiple spatiotemporal constraints to accelerate solution efficiency. The experimental results of the simulated and real scenarios with mixed flows show that the proposed model can continuously enhance traffic efficiency and fuel economy as the penetration of CAVs gradually increases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100596,"journal":{"name":"Green Energy and Intelligent Transportation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773153724000112/pdfft?md5=2c8f0d5905097a25e192b5b1df224d57&pid=1-s2.0-S2773153724000112-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139456100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its core objective is to provide highly automated air transportation services for passengers or cargo, operating at low altitudes within urban, suburban, and rural regions. AAM seeks to enhance the efficiency and environmental viability of the aviation sector by revolutionizing the way air travel is conducted. In a complex aviation environment, traffic management and control are essential technologies for safe and effective AAM operations. One of the most difficult obstacles in the envisioned AAM systems is vehicle coordination at merging points and intersections. The escalating demand for air mobility services, particularly within urban areas, poses significant complexities to the execution of such missions. In this study, we propose a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) approach to efficiently manage high-density AAM operations in structured airspace. Our approach provides effective guidance to AAM vehicles, ensuring conflict avoidance, mitigating traffic congestion, reducing travel time, and maintaining safe separation. Specifically, intelligent learning-based algorithms are developed to provide speed guidance for each AAM vehicle, ensuring secure merging into air corridors and safe passage through intersections. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed model, we conduct training and evaluation using BlueSky, an open-source air traffic control simulation environment. Through the simulation of thousands of aircraft and the integration of real-world data, our study demonstrates the promising potential of MARL in enabling safe and efficient AAM operations.
