A safety transport framework for hired coaches for school transport.
Safety in school transport is a critical issue which involves children who are the most vulnerable users of it. On an average 973 trips are made per person in a year, out of which 105 are on school runs. In the United Kingdom (UK) alone, 1218 children were injured in 381 coach crashes between 2005 …

Software defined transport
We advocate a software defined transport (SDT) architecture in which a transport controller schedules and dynamically re-schedules the flow sending rates based on current network conditions and the network operator's goals. This dissertation shows that this architecture provides both high …

Optimal transport strategies
… We here consider a number of natural fluid transport systems that may be framed in terms of constrained optimization problems. We first examine natural drinking strategies. We classify the drinking strategies of a broad range of creatures according to the principal forces involved, and …

Water Transport Terminal
This thesis is an attempt in the exploration of an architectural idea of breaking away from a conventional column beam structure. This idea led to a geometrical form which would be most stable, supported by itself, and also helps mitigate the lateral forces of wind and water in which it would …

Intelligent transport systems for South Africa: contextual investigation of the application of non-motorised transport intelligent transport measures
… technology has given rise to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) to enhance transport system efficiency and safety. Often overlooked Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) has not received sufficient attention, despite its importance in making cities sustainable. The development of ITS has been …

SCIENTIFIC MACHINE LEARNING METHODS FOR REACTIVE-TRANSPORT AND THERMAL-TRANSPORT PROBLEMS
… presents novel SciML frameworks for reactive-transport and thermal-transport problems. The traditional numerical methods use initial and boundary conditions for tran- sient problems and cannot use the limited time history of solutions that might be available. The framework developed for …

Transport phenomena in plant-internal processes: growth and carbon dioxide transport
… one of the central themes, although the lateral transport of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) was also treated. These processes depend strongly on fluxes of water, hormones and/or CO2 . Thus, suitable transport equations were sought for to describe these processes. Using the Lockhart-Equations, which are …

A Performance Evaluation of Dynamic Transport Switching for Multi-Transport Devices
<p>Multi-transport devices are becoming more common, but sophisticated software is needed to fully realize the advantages of these devices. In this paper, we examine the performance of dynamic transport switching, which selects the best available transport for communication between two devices. We …

Design and application of flux corrected transport for reactive solute transport modeling
Understanding reactive solute transport, which couples flow , transport, and chemical/ biological reaction in porous media, is important in areas such as aquifer remediation, groundwater contamination and geochemical reaction modeling. Due to the large time scales involved, lack of accessibility to …

Transport under Emission Trading
This thesis analysis the impact of private road transport under emission trading using two different Computable General Equilibrium models. A static multi-region model with special emphasis on the European Union, addresses the welfare impact of road transport under the European Emission Trading …

Essays on transport economics
… address different topics on the economics of transportation. The first two essays analise the demand side of transportation services. In the first essay, we study the phenomena related to the first two steps in the traditional four-step model for traffic assignment: trip generation and trip …

Vertical transport evacuation modelling
… occupants often heavily rely on vertical transport devices (e.g. escalators, lifts, etc) to travel vertically between levels. Typically such devices provide a faster and more comfortable means to travel than the equivalent stairs. Such devices also provide an additional means for occupant …

Kinetics of Brownian Transport
… the role of entropic forces in Brownian transport, show that hydrodynamic drag plays a crucial role in Brownian motion in confined systems, and give an experimental realisation of Fick-Jacobs theory. The thermodynamic applications of HOTs considered here necessitate the creation of …

Mass transport in polymers
The study of mass transport in polymeric membranes has grown in importance due to its potential application in many processes such as separation of gases and vapors, packaging, controlled drug release. The diffusion of a low molecular weight species in a polymer is often accompanied by other …

Nutrient Transport During Hypoperfusion
… on the cellular mechanisms regulating nutrient transport during the provision of monosaccharides and glutamine and treatments to decrease injury. The effects of intestinal hypoperfusion on nutrient transport were elucidated in a piglet model, a rodent model and an established in vitro model. …
