Evaluation of suitability areas for ecotourism using multi-criteria analysis by Radmila Jovanovic, Fernando Almeida García, Rafael Cortés-Macías

“…The basic analysis of this study is to identify potential locations for ecotourism activities in the wine region of Central Serbia based on physical-geographical elements (topography, altitude, slope, land use / coverage, diversity, distance from rivers) and socio-economic data (proximity to tourist attractions, distance from major roads and places). The integration of the Geographic Information System (GIS) and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) greatly facilitates the decision-making process in the assessment of ecotourism activities. …”

Lightweight and Reliability Analysis of the Heavy Duty Driven Axle Housing based on the Finite Element Theory by Tuo Qianjin

“…Aiming at the problems of the process of driving heavy duty truck fuel consumption,higher manufacturing costs and so on,according to the finite element theory,the heavy duty truck driven axle housing lightweight design is carried out,and the light weight calculation results are imported into the finite element model to study the deformation of the axle housing before and after optimization at maximum load optimization uneven roads conditions of stress,life and safety coefficient changes.The results show that after the axle housing thickness lightweight size optimization,wheel area,leaf springs to the axle core area and axle core,the trend of the overall thickness of the axle housing is downward,there is no change to the wheel area to leaf spring transition area thickness.After the axle housing thickness lightweight size optimization,the trend of the total volume is a downward,the volume of the initial value is from 0.043m3 dropped to 0.0343m3,after lightweight size optimization,the axle housing stress and deformation,life and safety factors are little difference with before optimization,it is indicating that meet the requirements of lightweight of axle housing.…”

Optimal Conflict Resolution for Vehicles With Intersecting and Overlapping Paths by Johan Karlsson, Nikolce Murgovski, Jonas Sjoberg

“…This extends earlier results, where collision avoidance was only considered for vehicles with intersecting paths, with the possibility of vehicles on the same path and by this, the controller is not only one step closer to handling complex traffic intersections but can now be used for merging and splitting of roads, roundabouts and intersection networks. The proficiency of the extended controller is demonstrated by applying it to a four-way intersection. …”
