Within this framework, a novel thaw settlement model is developed and coupled with a thermomechanical frost heave model to represent the heaving and subsequent thawing behavior of the soil beneath pavements. In the proposed thaw settlement model, excess water generated during the melting of ice lenses is introduced as a damage parameter within a continuum mechanics formulation, resulting in a reduction of material stiffness. The frost heave–thaw settlement model is further coupled with a thermodynamics-based asphalt damage model to capture the progressive degradation of asphalt layers. The capabilities of the proposed framework are demonstrated through two study scenarios: (i) uniform frost heave and thaw settlement occurring across the entire subgrade layer. (ii) non-uniform frost heave and thaw settlement localized within a specific region of the subgrade. The results show that the proposed framework not only captures damage in the asphalt layer but also predicts temperature distributions, ice formation, and water content during freeze–thaw cycles. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that uniform heaving and settlement cause relatively minor asphalt damage but lead to surface unevenness, whereas non-uniform frost heave and settlement result in both surface irregularities and severe damage to the asphalt layer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34480,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Engineering","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145227242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three fundamental electromagnetic architectures - Variable Volume Approach (VVA), Fixed Volume Approach (FVA or separate drive of individually magnetized ring), and Fixed Volume Approach Pole-based (FVAP) - are analyzed through five distinct design configurations employing harmonic and geometric sequencing. A rigorous analytical framework is developed to assess electromagnetic coupling dynamics, evaluating critical parameters including energy density, volumetric constraints, magnetic flux distribution, and torque transmission characteristics. Performance assessment using Gray Relational Analysis (GRA) reveals the FVAP configuration as superior (GRA grade: 0.95), demonstrating optimal torque density (3.01 MNm/m³ FEM) and specific torque (320-344 Nm/kg). Comparative analysis shows electromagnetic systems achieve 20–22 % higher specific torque than optimal range of mechanical planetary gears about (267–282 Nm/kg), though their volumetric torque density remains below conventional systems (3–5 MNm/m³). The study identifies key performance trade-offs: VVAH (0.72) and VVAG (0.68) deliver competitive torque but exhibit elevated flux leakage, while FVAG (0.58) and FVAH (0.64) show balanced but limited performance. The research highlights electromagnetic gearing as a transformative technology for weight-sensitive applications, offering inherent advantages including contactless operation, adaptive torque control, and reduced maintenance. Findings suggest these systems are particularly suitable for electric and hybrid vehicle architectures where power density and efficiency are critical. Future development pathways focus on advanced magnetic materials and superconducting implementations to bridge the volumetric performance gap.

The results revealed that the ACC + <em>V</em>-ISA system effectively reduced vehicle speed on curves with limited visibility. The ability of the system to regulate speed according to prevailing road conditions highlights its potential to improve road safety.

The model, adapted from the NOAA framework, incorporates laboratory-measured thermal properties for the engineered pavement layers and uses a custom soil moisture profile to integrate the observed water table data. The calibrated model demonstrated excellent performance, particularly in the permeable subbase layer (30 cm depth), which serves as a rigorous test of the model’s physical realism. At this depth, the model achieved high Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) values of 0.995 for the entire period and 0.990 for the second winter period. Results highlight the critical importance of calibrating global thermal conductivity factors to accurately simulate pavement temperatures, particularly during winter freeze–thaw cycles. Sensitivity analyses confirmed that adjustments to these thermal properties led to substantial improvements in model accuracy in the overlying permeable subbase. While variations in subgrade porosity had minimal impact at shallow depths, they significantly influenced thermal behavior in the subbase. Accurate thermal dynamics predictions are critical for assessing freeze–thaw induced damage mechanisms such as frost heave and thaw settlement, which impact pavement durability. Future research should build upon this thermal foundation by integrating more complex moisture and ice content models to enable physical damage prediction.

Research on the dynamic performance of these vehicles is essential to address such concerns and ensure safer interaction with other vehicles and ease their integration into urban traffic. This study explores the longitudinal (braking and acceleration) and lateral (avoidance and slalom) performances of e-PMVs through 127 controlled track tests conducted by three e-scooter riders, two e-bicycle riders, and one e-monowheel rider using one of the most common models of these vehicles. Specific performance indicators were defined for each maneuver to evaluate and compare dynamic capabilities. Results show that e-bicycles exhibits the most effective braking performance, achieving decelerations close to 6 m/s², while e-scooters and e-monowheels demonstrate lower deceleration rates around 3.7 m/s² and 2.8 m/s², respectively. Acceleration is quite similar across vehicles, ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 m/s² in sport/turbo mode. Performance differences during evasive maneuvers are minimal, with maximum roll rate ranging between 70 and 110°/s and maximum roll angle between 15° and 22° In slalom, the e-monowheel shows the highest roll rate at 102°/s, followed by the e-bicycle at 87°/s and the e-scooter at 69°/s. The study highlights that e-PMVs, particularly e-scooters and e-monowheels, have substantially lower braking and acceleration capabilities than conventional motor vehicles, which likely increases the risk of traffic conflicts escalating into accidents. By filling a gap in the experimental knowledge base, especially concerning monowheels, these findings underscore the need for further research aimed at improving the design and safety features of e-PMVs, prioritizing improvements in braking efficiency and maneuverability to mitigate potential risks and offer users a safer mode of transportation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34480,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Engineering","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100404"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145424518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With a particular focus on the significant environmental impact of road transportation, the paper advocates for a transition toward more sustainable alternatives. It specifically explores the potential of velomobiles, enclosed human-powered vehicles (HPVs), as a viable solution. A survey of more than 1200 individuals in Italy, with most respondents based in the Piedmont region, provides insights into commuting patterns across ten modes of transportation and attitudes toward the adoption of velomobiles. Survey results on the willingness to adopt velomobiles are used to project future mobility patterns within the population surveyed. Rather than merely reiterating the environmental benefits of cycling, the study offers an original contribution by integrating behavioural insights with environmental modelling to assess the realistic potential for a modal shift. Particular attention is given to identifying which transportation modes velomobiles are likely to replace, providing a nuanced understanding of their role in future sustainable mobility systems. The subsequent comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) reveals GHG emission reductions with the most realistic scenarios indicating a 20% to 30% decrease in Well-To-Wheel emissions. Despite the conservative assumptions adopted, the study yields promising results. A final analysis, limited to velomobiles and cars, shows that expanding the system boundaries could lead to even greater savings, as the modal shift could extend the life of the car and help avoid the purchase of a second one in the long term. Velomobiles, with their potential to drive modal shifts, emerge as effective tools in reducing emissions. While recognizing regional variations, the study suggests encouraging outcomes for velomobile adoption in Italy and emphasizes the pivotal role of modal shifts in achieving sustainable transportation objectives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34480,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Engineering","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100401"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145575969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
