    Heterogeneity in behavioural response to pricing policies in the transition from motorcycles to private cars in motorcycle-based societies

    No full text
    Pricing instruments are widely seen as an effective tool for reducing the travel demand for private vehicles. In contrast to developed countries, the design of pricing policies in certain developing countries is more challenging, owing to the mixed use of private cars and motorcycles. This study argues for the existence of a transitional group of motorcycle users who will switch to being car users. An investigation of the behavioural responses to a pricing policy from private car users and motorcycle users is implemented in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A propensity score-matching technique is used to identify the transitional group. The results regarding the mode choice models for various pricing policies show similar responses between the transitional motorcycle users and car users. Such characteristics of the transitional group imply that ignorance of travellers' heterogeneity may cause significant bias, especially when modelling pricing policies.This research was financed by the Special Research Fund of Hasselt University.

    A Review of Applications of Machine Learning for Emissions Estimation in Diesel Engines

    No full text
    Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.There has been an increasing demand to reduce the emissions of diesel engines, especially in maritime applications. Moreover, emission regulations are becoming stricter every year. This has led to an urge for more complex engine control systems with more accurate emissions estimators included. Machine learning methods have been long adopted to create models with high complexity to estimate the engine’s emissions and to rely less on conventional physical measurement devices. This paper presents a brief review of the development of engine emissions estimation using machine learning methods over the last 20 years. The review will however mainly focus on emissions prediction from engine in-cylinder pressure and engine functional vibration signal.Peer reviewe

    A review of mathematical methods for flexible robot dynamics modeling and simulation

    No full text
    In recent decades, lots of robots are designed and produced all over the world because of their important applications. Nowadays, using the robot is more and more popular in many different fields. In practice, the modeling and control of most of the robots are performed with an important assumption that all links of a robot are rigid bodies. This is to simplify the modeling, analysis, and control for a robot. The elastic deformation of a link always exists during a robot’s operation. This elastic deformation of a flexible robot has significant effects on several characterizations and specifications of the robot such as the robot strength, the accuracy of the robot motion, the robot control, etc. In the literature, there have been many studies addressing the dynamics modeling and control of flexible robots. This paper presents an overview of the mathematical methods which have been used for the kinematic and dynamic modeling of the flexible manipulators
