Low-Temperature and Fatigue Characteristics of Degraded Crumb Rubber-Modified Bitumen before and after Aging

The high viscosity and poor storage stability of crumb rubber-modified asphalt (CRMA) can be partially addressed by the appropriate degree of degradation of the crumb rubber modifier. However, the low-Temperature and fatigue characteristics of degraded crumb rubber-modified bitumen (DCRMB) in different aging states are not well understood. In...

Effect of High Content of Waste Tire Rubber and Sulfur on the Aging Behavior of Bitumen

High content rubber modified bitumen (HCRMB) prepared from the high content of waste tire rubber and bitumen has good performance while allowing greater use of the waste tires. However, HCRMB is subject to aging during use, which can affect its performance. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of high content of waste tire...

Operational Design Domain Requirements for Improved Performance of Lane Assistance Systems: A Field Test Study in The Netherlands

There is a pressing need for road authorities to take a proactive role in the deployment of automated vehicles on the existing road network. This requires a comprehensive understanding of the driving environment characteristics that affect the performance of automated vehicles. In this context, a field test with Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and...

An On-Chip Self-Characterization of a Digital-to-Time Converter by Embedding it in a First-Order ΔΣ Loop

To characterize an on-chip programmable delay in a low-cost and high-resolution manner, a built-in self-test based on a first-order ΔΣ time-to-digital converter with self-calibration is proposed and implemented in TSMC 28-nm CMOS. The system is self-contained, and only one digital clock is needed for the measurements. A...

The orbital-platform concept for nonplanar dynamic testing

A new concept is introduced for large-amplitude nonplanar testing at high incidence. The dynamic test apparatus is characterized by an annular, orbital platform on which the model support and secondary drive mechanisms are mounted. The device can be used as a rotary apparatus, while arbitrary epicyclic motions (including fixed-plane, orbital...
