Real-Time Short-Term Travel Time Prediction
… to be well informed of the likely future conditions on roadways, so that pre-trip plans and traffic control strategies can be made accordingly in order to reduce travel time and relieve traffic congestion. With these travel time predictions, roads may be used more efficiently with better …

Detecting road boundaries and drivable regions in challenging weather conditions
… and lidar sensors. These sensors struggle in inclement weather conditions. MMwave radar works well in all weather conditions. However, due to the low resolution of the radar, it is currently limited to object detection for cruise control applications. This thesis investigates the impact of bad …

Finite Element Modeling of Macro Fiber Composite Actuators with Application to Wing De-icing
… a profound impact on aircraft performance during inclement weather conditions. Aircraft icing primarily occurs on the leading edge of wings, tails and engines. The de-icing/anti-icing technologies currently in use are typically bulky, heavy, cover the entire airfoil surface and consume high …

Safety and feasibility of a cloud-based architecture for multi-vehicle system
… separation distances during adverse road conditions. The Spot Weather Impact Warning (SWIW) is a connected vehicle application concept proposed by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) that alerts drivers to unsafe conditions at specific points on the downstream roadway as a result of …

Identification of Weather Conditions Related to Roadside LiDAR Data
… affected in the context of rain, snow, and wind conditions as the collected 3D point clouds of surrounding objects may drift. Weather-caused impacts can lead to difficulties in data processing and even accuracy compromise. Consequently, solutions are desired and sought, focused on the issue that …
