This proposed method requires measuring only the vertical, roll, and pitch velocity of the sprung mass and, therefore can reduce the sensor cost significantly.

Choosing an effective clustering approach and an ideal number of clusters in a traffic accident dataset might be complex and challenging. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of k-means and two-step cluster methods. Subsequently, the two-step cluster method and GIS are applied to analyze the traffic accident datasets from 2015 to 2017 in Hanoi, Vietnam. First, according to the Silhouette score, the two-step cluster method achieved a higher score of 0.563, while the k-means method scored 0.341. A higher Silhouette score indicates more well-defined clusters. Second, the research suggests combining the two-step cluster method with GIS for analyzing traffic accident datasets. The outcome identifies five typical types of accidents in Hanoi. In addition, the locations of various accident types were visually illustrated on a map, enabling traffic officials to recommend precise and urgent countermeasures. Importantly, the clustering results reveal that the two-step cluster method exhibits a significantly higher rate of homogeneous data in the clusters compared to the k-means method. This study demonstrates that the two-step cluster method is not only more effective than the k-means method in terms of clustering ability but also in data pre-processing.

This study proposes a constitutive mechanical law to model the behavior of the interface between a microcracked viscoelastic medium and an undamaged elastic body based on the homogenization method. The interface is modeled by a layer of zero thickness. The coupling between the homogenization technique and the Griffith’s theory is used to provide the effective behavior of the micro-cracked medium. The interface is modelled as an effective medium (EF) characterized by normal and tangential stiffnesses (CN, CT ). In this work, two viscoelastic models are considered, i.e., Burger and Modified Maxwell.
