Zhao, Kangqi (author), Wang, Yihui (author), Ding, Miaomiao (author), Li, Shukai (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Meng, Lingyun (author)More and more people in big cities choose urban rail transit as the main means of public transportation. With the increasing unbalanced passenger flow in time and space, the traditional operation mode with fixed train formation (or composition) is difficult to satisfy the varying passenger demands. This paper distinguishes different train...conference paper 2022

(author), Timmermans, Huub (author)Most MDO problems currently do not include manufacturing as an optimization domain. Within the H2020 project AGILE 4.0 the intent is to bring manufacturing into the MDO domain using MBSE techniques developed within the project. To demonstrate how manufacturing can be brought into the MDO domain application cases are set up that resemble MDO...conference paper 2022

Fang, G. (author), Tian, Yingjun (author), Weightman, Andrew (author), Wang, C.C. (author)Soft robots can safely interact with environments because of their mechanical compliance. Self-collision is also employed in the modern design of soft robots to enhance their performance during different tasks. However, developing an efficient and reliable simulator that can handle the collision response well, is still a challenging task in...conference paper 2022

(author), Chen, Yong (author), Zhao, Bo (author)Body Channel Communication (BCC) offers a low-loss signal transmission medium for ultra-low-power wearable devices on human body [1]. However, the effective communication range on human body is limited to less than 1m in the state-of-the-art BCC transceivers [2], where the signal loss at the interface of body surface and BCC receiver remains to...conference paper 2022

Poenaru-Olaru, L. (author), Redi, Judith (author), Hovanesyan, Artur (author), Wang, H. (author)Small and medium enterprises (SME) are crucial for economy and have a higher exposure rate to default than large corporates. In this work, we address the problem of predicting the default of an SME. Default prediction models typically only consider the previous financial situation of each analysed company. Thus, they do not take into account...conference paper 2022

(author)We introduce a Markov Modulated Process (MMP) to describe human mobility. We represent the mobility process as a time-varying graph, where a link specifies a connection between two nodes (humans) at any discrete time step. Each state of the Markov chain encodes a certain modification to the original graph. We show that our MMP model...conference paper 2022

These dynamic geomorphic systems are governed by waves, tides, wind, and river input, and evolve according to complex nonlinear transport processes. To predict their evolution, we need to better understand the pathways that sediment takes from source...conference paper 2021

Effect of reactive aggregate on the early age reaction of water-glass activated slag/fly ash mortarsWang, Wei (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Ye, G. (author), Noguchi, Takafumi (author)Alkali activated materials (AAMs) have received worldwide attention due to its lower embodied energy and environmental impact than that of traditional cementitious materials. However, the activators with high alkalinity may raise the risk of alkali silica reaction (ASR) induced deterioration when reactive aggregates are used, which thereby...conference paper 2021
