Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8998: Information Sources and Incremental Value in Short-Horizon Prediction of a Multimodal Driving Index in Extra-Long Tunnels

2+ day, 15+ hour ago   (431+ words) Predicting driver-state evolution in extra-long tunnel corridors remains challenging because of prolonged spatial confinement and repeated lighting transitions. This study uses a statistical human–vehicle composite, the comprehensive driving index (CDI), as a reproducible quantitative target for predictive auditing. In…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8969: Prediction of Freeze–Thaw Damage in Shallow-Buried Bias Tunnels Using Thermal–Mechanical Modeling and Machine Learning

2+ day, 23+ hour ago   (414+ words) To evaluate freeze–thaw damage and asymmetric deterioration in shallow-buried bias tunnel linings in cold regions, an explainable data-driven predictive framework was developed. Guided by the underlying frost heave mechanisms, an optimal support vector machine (SVM) surrogate model was trained…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8952: Impact of Flood Progression on Evacuation Efficiency in Underground Metro Stations: A Proposed Macro-Level Analysis Using a Node-and-Link Simulation Approach

3+ day, 16+ hour ago   (553+ words) Underground subway stations are highly vulnerable to flooding due to their below-grade configuration, multiple interconnected levels, and reliance on a limited number of vertical access points, yet the extent to which flood progression affects evacuation performance remains insufficiently quantified. This…...
