Boeing has decided to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge after it violated a deal struck with the U.S. Department of Justice in the aftermath of two deadly crashes involving the 737 Max jet. ...
The use of certain substances in the batteries is polluting air and water, according to a peer-reviewed study.
In a bid to combat escalating traffic noise pollution, a novel study presents a semianalytical meshless method to optimize the acoustic performance of sound barriers. The research focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of these barriers by refining their shape and material distribution.
In a major multidisciplinary collaboration effort across Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, researchers have published a pioneering study on the spread of infections across Nordic borders from spring until the end of 2020. The report sheds light on the efficacy of cross-border travel restrictions, helping us better understand which measures actually make a difference.
With the rise in popularity of and investment in autonomous vehicles, one professor at the George Washington University sought to explore the ethics and policy considerations around driving in a... ...
After decades of talk, work on the nation’s first high-speed rail project began recently when Brightline West broke ground on a 218-mile passenger rail service connecting Las Vegas to Southern California.
The newly developed Joint Matrix Decomposition and Factorization (JMDF) framework improves the accuracy and robustness of moving target detection in video streams through the use of fuzzy logic and adaptive constraints.
U-Ride is the first app that allows users to easily compare and track the environmental and health impacts of their trip. They can see their carbon savings in pounds of CO2 and calories burned as an individual and as a community. Data collected from U-Ride will help improve the transit system over time and ensure that major transportation investments made by universities as well as government agencies are benefitting the greatest number of students.
Bill Partridge, a recently retired distinguished researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, was recognized by DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office, or VTO, for leading world-class research in transportation throughout his 25-year career.
With the help of an evidence-based calculator called “Fit2Drive,” researchers have made it easy to administer and evaluate an in-office test to predict an older individual’s probability of passing an on-road driving test. Based upon brief, easily administered cognitive tests, Fit2Drive provides an objective estimation of the ability to drive for those with cognitive concerns. Results show that the Fit2Drive algorithm demonstrated a strong 91.5% predictive accuracy.
At a time when the general public may not yet accept driverless taxis and ride-hailing vehicles, teledriving could offer many of the same benefits, according to a new study led by a University of Michigan researcher.
A tourism expert from the University of South Australia is urging travellers to support local destinations and experiences close to home, instead of long-haul international trips, to lessen the impacts of tourism on the environment.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have successfully demonstrated the first 270-kW wireless power transfer to a light-duty electric vehicle. The demonstration used a Porsche Taycan and was conducted in collaboration with Volkswagen Group of America using the ORNL-developed polyphase wireless charging system.
Researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory have discovered the main reason why and how one of the more promising new cathode materials degrades with repeated cycling of lithium-ion batteries. The team’s new analysis method was key to the discovery.
