Railroad Accident Analysis Using Extreme Gradient Boosting
(2021)Railroads are critical to the economic health of a nation. Unfortunately, railroads lose hundreds of millions of dollars from accidents each year. Trends reveal that derailments consistently account for more than 70% of ... -
Railroad Track Condition Monitoring Using Inertial Sensors and Digital Signal Processing: A Review
(2018)Inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes have been widely used since the early 1990s to monitor the condition of transportation assets. Recent improvements in their performance, a reduction in cost, and sensor ... -
Ranking Risk Factors in Financial Losses From Railroad Incidents: A Machine Learning Approach
(2023)The reported financial losses from railroad accidents since 2009 have been more than US$4.11 billion dollars. This considerable loss is a major concern for the industry, society, and the government. Therefore, identifying ... -
Rapid Hyperspectral Image Classification to Enable Autonomous Search Systems
(2016)The emergence of lightweight full-frame hyperspectral cameras is destined to enable autonomous search vehicles in the air, on the ground, and in water. Self-contained and long-endurance systems will yield important new ... -
Reducing Risks by Transporting Dangerous Cargo in Drones
(2022)The transportation of dangerous goods by truck or railway multiplies the risk of harm to people and the environment when accidents occur. Many manufacturers are developing autonomous drones that can fly heavy cargo and ... -
Relating Subjective Ride Quality Ratings to Objective Measures
(2022)Agencies have long used subjective roughness ratings from panels of users to inform policy development on road maintenance strategies. The commoditization of electronics motivated the development of more objective, automated, ... -
Remediation Ranking of High Crash Fatality Locations Involving Older Drivers in Florida's Rural Counties
(2022)In 2019, Florida's aging road users (65 years or older) accounted for 20% of the population but 37% of all crashes. Florida Department of Transportation has identified aging road users as one of the areas that requires ... -
Research Productivity of Accounting Professors Around a Change in Institutional Affiliation
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2019)This study examines the scholarly output of accounting researchers in time periods surrounding a change in university affiliation. Our expectation that publishing activity will increase in periods around an institutional ... -
Research Support through Repository Access at NDSU
(North Dakota State University, 2019)In order to enhance the digital content and descriptive metadata of an institutional repository, library staff must foster partnerships with researchers and university departments responsible for generating digital content. ... -
Resolution Agile Remote Sensing for Detection of Hazardous Material Spills
(2016)Traffic carrying flammable, corrosive, poisonous, and radioactive materials continues to increase in proportion with the growth in their production and consumption. The sustained risk of accidental releases of such ... -
Review of Usage of Real-World Connected Vehicle Data
(2020)GPS loggers and cameras aboard connected vehicles can produce vast amounts of data. Analysts can mine such data to decipher patterns in vehicle trajectories and driver–vehicle interactions. Ability to process such large-scale ... -
Road Profile Reconstruction Using Connected Vehicle Responses and Wavelet Analysis
(2018)Practitioners analyze the elevation profile of a roadway to detect localized defects and to produce the international roughness index. The prevailing method of measuring road profiles uses a specially instrumented vehicle ... -
Road Roughness Evaluation Using In-Pavement Strain Sensors
(2015)The international roughness index (IRI) is a characterization of road roughness or ride quality that transportation agencies most often report. The prevalent method of acquiring IRI data requires instrumented vehicles and ... -
Rolling-Stock Automatic In-Situ Line Deterioration and Operating Condition Sensing
