Digital Twin Aided Sustainability and Vulnerability Audit for Subway Stations

“…In May 2016, a flood occurred in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, China, which flooded several subway stations in the flood-hit areas. The disaster caused the destruction of equipment at subway stations and serious damage to the walls [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. In this case, waterproofing of subway stations and prevention of terrorism are essential.…”

Autonomous Vehicles for Enhancing Expressway Capacity: A Dynamic Perspective

“…A more sustainable method to alleviate traffic congestion is to release the reserved capacity (RC) of existing facilities. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the capacity of existing facilities can be significantly improved using methods such as optimal geometric design [8], signal timing [9], traffic management [10,11], and maintenance considering risk profiles [12]. In recent years, the maturity and popularization of autonomous driving technology have provided a new perspective for improving the capacity of existing expressway facilities.…”

Editorial

“…In the second and third articles, the authors provide mathematical tools to integrate the consideration of service into the determination of optimal maintenance strategies and programs. Omura and Kaewunruen (2020) demonstrate how production and cost functions can be used, together with service considerations, to assess the optimality of maintenance strategies and identify the principal influencing factors. Kielhauser and Adey (2020) show how service can be modelled to enable the running of algorithms to determine optimal intervention programs for multiple municipal infrastructure networks simultaneously.…”
