Chen, Kequan (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Liu, Pan (author), Li, Zhibin (author), Wang, Yuxuan (author)Lane-changing (LC) in congested traffic has been identified as a trigger for the sudden deceleration behavior of the new follower in the target lane, leading to severe traffic disturbances. Thus, investigating the response of the new follower to an LC maneuver is an important research topic in the literature. To date, numerous efforts have...journal article 2023

Chen, G. (author), Zhang, Ke (author), Wang, Sheng (author), Jia, T. (author)Physically-based hydrological-geotechnical modeling at large scales is difficult, especially due to the time-consuming nature of flow routing and 3D soil stability models. Although parallelization techniques are commonly used for each model individually, there is currently no concurrent parallelization strategy for both. This study proposed...journal article 2023
