Directional analysis of an a-train double with damped articulation
… safety of such vehicles. Particularly, A-train doubles, which belong to the classification of LCVs, exhibit larger magnitude oscillations in both lateral and yaw motions under directional maneuvers, which limit their directional dynamic performance at highway speeds. Two concepts in damped …

Experimental Evaluation of the Dynamic Performance Benefits of Roll Stability Control Systems on A-train Doubles
The ride stability of an A-train 28-foot double tractor trailer when outfitted with different Roll Stability Control (RSC) systems with the same payload and suspension configurations is studied experimentally for various dynamic maneuvers. The primary goal of the study is to determine the effect of …

Novel techniques in free electron lasers
… of an undulatorchicane lattice generates a train of coherent radiation spikes. The interaction of multiple electron pulses is investigated in this thesis. Propagating multiple electron pulses through an undulator produce a train of radiation spikes. The temporal separation of the radiation …

Channel Propagation Model for Train to Vehicle Alert System at 5.9 GHz using Dedicated Short Range Communication
… accidents today involve collisions between trains and passenger vehicles at railroad grade crossings [1][2]. Due to the size and speed of a train, these collisions generally result in significant damage and serious injury. Despite recent efforts by projects such as Operation Lifesaver to …

A Gateway to the City
Through this thesis I explore how a train station can serve as the platform for an experience that is more profound than simply coming and going, and instead can provide a moment that allows travelers to appreciate the location that they are traveling to or from. A train station is almost uniquely …

Interaction of a finite train of short optical pulses with a ladder system
… ladder systems with short optical pulses. A train of pulses produced by shaping the spectral phase of a single pulse from an ultra fast laser allows us to control the step-wise excitation in rubidium (Rb) atoms. As a diagnostic method, we use magneto-optical trap recoil ion momentum …
