Rolling-Stock Automatic In-Situ Line Deterioration and Operating Condition Sensing
(2013)Track and equipment failures dominate railroad accident causes. Railroads must visually inspect most tracks in service as often as twice weekly to comply with the Federal Track Safety Standards. They augment visual ... -
Sourcing Strategy for Asphalt Production Feedstock Considering Multimodal Transport Options
(2016)This paper examines the logistics and distribution channels for importing heavy crude oil, which is a source of bitumen. The study conducts a sensitivity analysis to assess the suitability of existing or new distillery ... -
Strategic Global Logistics Management for Sourcing Road Oil in the U.S.
(2017)The demand for asphalt and road oil heavily leverages local supply because the product is a hot binder of aggregates that form the final mix needed to pave roads. This paper discusses the supply chain characteristics of ... -
Use of Connected Vehicles to Characterize Ride Quality
(2016)The United States rely on the performance of more than four million miles of roadways to sustain its economic growth and to support the dynamic mobility needs of its growing population. The funding gap to build and ... -
Vibration Energy Harvesting for Disaster Asset Monitoring Using Active RFID Tags
(2010)This paper highlights the importance of energy harvesting in high-value asset monitoring applications involving use of active RFID tags. The paper begins by highlighting advantages of active tags including improved range ... -
Wavelength Sensitivity of a Connected Vehicle Method of Ride Quality Characterizations
(2017)Researchers previously demonstrated that a roughness index called the road impact factor (RIF) is directly proportional to the international roughness index (IRI) when measured under identical conditions. A RIF-transform ...
