Ma, H. (author), Blom, H.A.P. (author)This paper focuses on estimating reach probability of a closed unsafe set by a stochastic process. A well-developed approach is to make use of multi-level MC simulation, which consists of encapsulating the unsafe set by a sequence of increasing closed sets and conducting a sequence of MC simulations to estimate the reach probability of each...journal article 2022

Hao, R. (author), Liu, M. (author), Ma, Wanjing (author), van Arem, B. (author), Wang, M. (author)Due to the manoeuvre complexity, models describing the platoon formation process on urban roads are lacking in the literature. Inspired by flocking behaviours in nature, we proposed a two-dimensional model to describe connected automated vehicle (CAV) group dynamics based on the potential theory, which is composed of the elastic potential...journal article 2022

Dong, Y. (author), Chen, Kejia (author), Peng, Yinxuan (author), Ma, Zhiyuan (author)As the central nerve of the intelligent vehicle control system, the in-vehicle network bus is crucial to the security of vehicle driving. One of the best standards for the in-vehicle network is the Controller Area Network (CAN bus) protocol. However, the CAN bus is designed to be vulnerable to various attacks due to its lack of security...conference paper 2022

Ma, Xiaochuan (author), Wang, L. (author), Xu, Jinhui (author), Feng, Qingsong (author), Liu, Linya (author), Chen, Huapeng (author)Based on ordinary state-based peridynamic theory, a 2D peridynamic model has been established to investigate fatigue crack propagation in railheads. The proposed model is verified in terms of rail deformation under a quasi-static load and the ductile material-related fatigue failure model. Good agreements have been achieved between a finite...journal article 2022

Liu, Lian (author), Menenti, M. (author), Ma, Yaoming (author), Ma, Weiqiang (author)Snowfall and the subsequent evolution of the snowpack have a large effect on the surface energy balance and water cycle of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The effects of snow cover can be represented by the WRF coupled with a land surface scheme. The widely used Noah scheme is computationally efficient, but its poor representation of albedo needs...journal article 2022
