In recent years, with the rapid development of intelligent structures and intelligent materials, a variety of energy harvesting technologies in road environment have gradually become a research hotspot. However, due to the low energy conversion efficiency and high cost, the application of some energy harvesting technologies is limited. Among them, vibration energy capture technology based on piezoelectric effect has been widely concerned by scholars because it does not need external power supply and can supply power for low-power wireless sensors. Therefore, this paper summarizes the current state of road energy harvesting technology, with emphasis on piezoelectric systems. It includes the mechanism of piezoelectric effect, the structure of the collector, and its road application. Based on extensive review research, this paper provides a comprehensive insight into road energy harvesting technologies. Specifically, the paper discusses the social and environmental benefits and challenges of road energy harvesting technologies. Finally, research on the durability, safety, and life cycle cost of road piezoelectric energy capture technology is still scarce. It is recommended to carry out such research in order to promote the positive contribution of piezoelectric energy exchange technology in the construction of intelligent transportation.","PeriodicalId":479889,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134967547","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}

The modified vehicle model and the coupled MPC controller are verified by CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink co-simulation experiments. Simulation results demonstrate that, at the cost of 12 percent increase in average computational time, the proposed coupled MPC controller leads to an approximate 48 percent reduction in tracking error compared to the benchmarking coupled lateral and longitudinal MPC controller based on the classic kinematics model.","PeriodicalId":479889,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135057484","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}

Due to their sensitivity to the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads during extreme storms, accurate and efficient simulation tools for hurricane winds and waves are needed for improved understanding of the complex dynamics of the fully coupled wind–wave–structure interaction system. Conventional simulation schemes usually generate winds and waves separately, and hence cannot capture the intense wind–wave interactions under hurricanes. In this study, a physics-statistics-based hybrid simulation scheme of nonstationary hurricane wind and wave fields is presented, where the winds and waves are coupled in both large and small scales. To simulate the large-scale winds and waves, a height-resolving hurricane wind model is coupled with a parametric hurricane wave model through a dependence between sea surface roughness and surface wind speed. In the small-scale simulations, the nonstationary wind fluctuations are statistically obtained by a Hilbert-wavelet-based scheme in which the target parameters (e.g. fluctuation intensity) are estimated based on the local sea state, while the nonstationary sea surface elevations are physically acquired by solving the governing equation of the nonlinear wave evolution under the action of winds. The simulation fidelity of the proposed physics-statistics-based hybrid scheme is demonstrated by generating the coupled nonstationary wind and wave fields approaching to a hypothetical long-span bridge with floating towers under a hurricane event.","PeriodicalId":479889,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135649227","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}

For infrastructure such as airports and roads, electric heating technology has been used for ice melting and snow removal with the advantage of using clean and renewable energy. However, the traditional electric heating pavement suffers from low thermal conductivity, energy scattering during the heating process, and the lack of an intelligent heating control system. To improve the efficiency of ice and snow melting and realize intelligent control, this study developed an innovative design for the heat conduction structure of the pavement. The proposed structure consists of the upper layer of the highway pavement, heat source layer, heat insulation layer, lower layer, and the base layer from top to bottom, which can realize directional heat conduction and heat insulation. The validity of the design is verified by thermal conductivity test, simulation test, and finite element modelling. The results hold scientific significance in terms of promoting snow melting pavement research and the development of new snow and ice melting technology. .","PeriodicalId":479889,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135102711","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}
