Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis of Significant Parameters for Superlarge Diameter Shield Excavation by Elton J. Chen, Yang-Yang Chen, Lin-Chun Wei, Han-Bin Luo

“…This research contributes to (i) the body of knowledge of proposing a more appropriate research methodology that can cope with aleatory and epistemic uncertainty and support uncertainty and sensitivity analysis (UA/SA) processes based on data from BIM-BDP and (ii) the state of practice by providing a data-driven surrogate model to simulate system behaviors of shield excavation with high reliability and to reduce dependency on domain experts. Here, we pay close attention to the most influential parameters that require priority parameter control, which can help administrators optimize the management of shield parameters during tunnel excavation.…”

Predictor-Based CACC Design for Heterogeneous Vehicles With Distinct Input Delays by Amirhossein Samii, Nikolaos Bekiaris-Liberis

“…The proofs of individual vehicle stability, string stability, and regulation rely on employment of an input-output approach on the frequency domain. We present consistent simulation results, including an example in which we employ real traffic data for the trajectory of the leading vehicle and an example via which we compare the performance of our design with the existing, predictor-feedback CACC and predictor-based ACC laws. …”
