Development of a micro-simulation model for motorway roadworks with the use of narrow lanes and lane closure schemes
… drivers’ behaviours, namely avoiding passing HGVs on adjacent lanes and lane repositioning before passing an HGV. The simulation results revealed that, under low traffic demand, the use of narrow lanes scheme seems to perform better in terms of capacity and delay than both offside and inside …

Modelling drivers’ behaviour within the dilemma zone at traffic signal junctions
… (such as heavy goods vehicles proportion HGVs%, intergreen length and installation of red light cameras) on drivers’ compliance with the traffic light signal change and junction capacity as well as vehicles’ delays. Based on existing traffic simulation models such as CARSIM, the simulation …

A Cyclist Detection and Tracking System for Heavy Goods Vehicles
… Vehicles Author: Yan KE Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) contribute to a large portion of collisions with cyclists, and a disproportionate number of these are caused by construction vehicles. Among all these collisions, the sides-of-HGV impacts make up the largest share. Technologies such as …

Vision-based trailer pose estimation for articulated vehicles
Articulated Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are more efficient than conventional rigid lorries, but exhibit reduced low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability. Technologies such as autonomous reversing and path-following trailer steering can mitigate this, but practical limitations of the …

Design and Performance of Managed Lanes in a Mixed Driver-Operated and Autonomous Vehicle Environment
… ratios. The vehicle types were AVs, DVs, and HGVs. The ML design strategies were based on vehicle eligibility, access control considerations, and orientation. The access control measures were left-side (S1) and right-side (S2) continuous access, and left-side (S3), and right-side (S4) …

On the Characteristics of Fires in Tunnels
… content is presented for passenger cars and HGVs. It has also been shown in the Runehamar tests that the fire in an HGV can spread a long distance downstream in a tunnel, of the order of 100 m. Based on the test results and real incidents one must emphasize the importance of the incident …

Accurate Mutation Annotation and Functional Prediction Enhance The Applicability of -Omics Data In Precision Medicine
… implementing the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) nomenclature. Our study also tried to illustrate the ambiguities of annotation among different transcript databases and different mutation types. TransVar standardizes mutation annotation and enables precise characterization of genomic …

Influence of accelerator pedal force feedback on truck drivers' speed control
… exhaust emissions of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs). Vehicle manufacturers and operators alike are having to investigate and find new ways of making reductions. It is thought that improving driver behaviour offers significant potential for these reductions in fuel consumption and emissions. …

An Experimental Investigation of Underbody and Near Wake Aerodynamics of Heavy Goods Vehicles
… the fuel consumption of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs). At motorway speeds, fuel consumption is highly dependent on aerodynamic drag, a considerable proportion of which is attributed to the significantly less well documented trailer underbody. Moreover, the underbody flow influences the topology …

OXYHYH20-Integrated Renewable Hydrogen and Oxygen Production for Reduced Emissions in Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations
… to 2000 light vehicles and 100 to 150 larger HGVs. This setup would meet both the fleet’s hydrogen demand, estimated between 1068 and 1221 tonnes per year, and the oxygen demand of the host WWTP. This would result in significant indirect and direct carbon emissions reduction for a total of …

An Investigation of Higher Capacity Urban Freight Vehicles
Studies have shown that increasing the capacity of Heavy Goods Vehicles is one of the most effective ways of reducing fuel consumption per tonne-kilometre of freight moved, with consequent reductions in greenhouse and noxious emissions. Some of the disadvantages of larger vehicles are more …
