Zeng, Cheng (author), Huang, Jinsong (author), Wang, H. (author), Xie, Jiawei (author), Huang, Shan (author)Timely detection and identification of rail breaks are crucial for safety and reliability of railway networks. This paper proposes a new deep learning-based approach using the daily monitoring data from in-service trains. A time-series generative adversarial network (TimeGAN) is employed to mitigate the problem of data imbalance and preserve the...journal article 2022

Wong, L.Y.J. (author), Bayoumy, S. (author), Freeke, A. (author), Cabo, A.J. (author)One of the concerns in service mathematics courses, such as calculus for engineering, is students’ interest in these studies. Research suggests that engineering undergraduates’ lack of awareness about the importance of mathematics for their study success and for their careers contributes to their low motivation for mathematics. An approach to...conference paper 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

Gadepalli, Ravi (author), Gumireddy, Sushmitha (author), Bhamidipati, Srirama (author), Cats, O. (author)Many cities have introduced metro rail systems over the past two decades, particularly in developing countries. However, there is lack of knowledge on the impacts of new lines on the service and ridership for the related urban bus lines, and in particular those directly affected by the opening of the new service(s). We undertake a...journal article 2022
