Mohabeddine, A.I. (author), Malik, Ghassan (author), Correia, José (author), De Jesus, Abílio (author), Fantuzzi, Nicholas (author), Miguel Castro, José (author)The use of the brittle adhesives commonly adopted in construction industry do not provide the best performance for steel structures. CFRP/Steel joint bonded with extremely tough adhesive achieve much higher strength and ductility. However, tough adhesives are not developed for the construction industry and their cost may question the...journal article 2023

Vidwans, Aditya (author), Trovalusci, Patrizia (author), Fantuzzi, Nicholas (author), Correia, J.A.F.O. (author)In steel structures, a lot of attention is paid to lightweight structures, i.e. reduction of dead load without compromising structural safety, integrity and performance. Thanks to modern steel aluminium foam sandwich panel manufacturing technology a new possibility became available for lightweight structural design. Assessment and...journal article 2023

Xin, Haohui (author), Liu, Jielin (author), Correia, J.A.F.O. (author), Berto, Filippo (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Qian, Guian (author)In this paper, a numerical simulation method of mixed-mode fatigue crack propagation was explored using the extended finite element method (XFEM) and the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT). Both 2D and 3D numerical models were selected to simulate the fatigue crack propagation of steel specimens. Two coefficients were proposed to...journal article 2023

Xin, Haohui (author), Liu, Jielin (author), Correia, Jose A.F. (author), Berto, Filippo (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Yang, Fei (author)Strengthening fatigue damage of orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) needs to comprehensively consider the strengthening effect and the dead weight introduced during the strengthening process, especially for OSDs in super large-span bridges or old renovated bridges, where the dead weight cannot be significantly increased during repair and...journal article 2023

Liao, D.L. (author), Cheng, L. (author), Correia, J.H.G. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Zhu, Shun Peng (author), Winkes, Jasper (author), Creusen, Koen (author), Berto, Filippo (author)Hole patterns are common in engineering design for connections and/or assembly purposes. Geometrical discontinuities can cause stress concentration in localized areas, making them more prone to fatigue crack initiation and influencing the fatigue life of the overall unit. In the past, much effort has been exerted on fatigue modelling of holed...journal article 2023

Ashkrof, P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Cats, O. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Ride-sourcing drivers, as individual service suppliers, can freely adopt their own relocation strategies, including waiting, cruising freely, or following the platform recommendations. These decisions substantially impact the balance between supply and demand, and consequently affect system performance. We conducted a stated choice experiment...journal article 2023

Fan, Q. (author), van Essen, J.T. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Shared automated vehicles (SAV) are expected to benefit the sustainable development of urban regions and alleviate the negative impacts brought by the increasing number of private cars. In this paper, we envision a future scenario where non-pooled SAVs replace private cars and provide public on-demand mobility services to satisfy the mobility...journal article 2023

Madadi, B. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)This study proposes a hybrid deep-learning-metaheuristic framework with a bi-level architecture for road network design problems (NDPs). We train a graph neural network (GNN) to approximate the solution of the user equilibrium (UE) traffic assignment problem and use inferences made by the trained model to calculate fitness function...journal article 2023

Wang, S. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Lin, H.X. (author)This paper addresses the problem of studying the impacts of the strategic formation of platoons in automated mobility-on-demand (AMoD) systems in future cities. Forming platoons has the potential to improve traffic efficiency, resulting in reduced travel times and energy consumption. However, in the platoon formation phase, coordinating the...journal article 2022

van Kuijk, R.J. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Oort, N. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Shared transport modes can potentially contribute to first and last mile connections of public transport (PT) trips but this remains quite underexplored in the literature. Our study explores the user preferences for shared modes as first and last mile option to connect activity locations. We have focussed on local public transport in the...journal article 2022

Blad, Koen (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Nes, R. (author), Annema, J.A. (author)As a solution to the high greenhouse gas emissions and declining quality of life caused by private vehicles, the shared mobility hub is introduced. The shared mobility hub is a place where multiple modalities come together, including public transport and shared private mobility. As the shared mobility hub is a relatively new solution, limited...journal article 2022

Fan, Q. (author), van Essen, J.T. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)The era of intelligent transportation with automated vehicles (AVs) is coming. Nonetheless, the transition to this system will be a gradual process. On the one hand, some zones in the city may be dedicated to AVs with a fully intelligent traffic management system geared toward high performance. On the other hand, automated and conventional...journal article 2022

Ghisolfi, V. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), de Lorena Diniz Chaves, Gisele (author), Mattos Ribeiro, Glaydston (author)Freight transport decarbonization is currently an urgent challenge. Decarbonization strategies have a specific time to take effect, and it is essential to consider their time dependence. The system dynamics approach is well suited to represent feedback, lagged responses, and the time dependence of decarbonization strategies. We carried out a...journal article 2022

Chang, X. (author), Wu, Jianjun (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Sun, Huijun (author), Feng, Ziyan (author)Carsharing has become a popular travel mode owing to its convenience of use, easy parking, and low cost of using a car by those who only need it occasionally. However, because of the inadequate location of carsharing stations (station-based systems) or vehicles (free-floating systems), effectively requiring expensive and complex relocation...journal article 2022

Ashkrof, P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Cats, O. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The performance of ride-sourcing services such as Uber and Lyft is determined by the collective choices of individual drivers who are not only chauffeurs but private fleet providers. In such a context, ride-sourcing drivers are free to decide whether to accept or decline ride requests assigned by the ride-hailing platform. Drivers’ ride...journal article 2022
