In this paper, a comprehensive Model-Predictive-Control (MPC) controller that enables effective complex track maneuvering for Self-Driving Cars (SDC) is proposed. The paper presents the full design details and the implementation stages of the proposed SDC-MPC. The controller receives several input signals such as an accurate car position measurement from the [...]

Summary: In this study four catalysts (ƴ –Alumina, α- Alumina, silica gel and silica ppt) with different physicochemical characteristics were tested for the pyrolysis of polystyrene (PS) under inert atmosphere in the temperature range 200-650 °C at heating rate 5 °C/min. The silica gel a mesoporous catalyst, with a greater [...]

The prime objective of the current study is to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. In addition, the mediating role of organizational commitment and the moderating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance is examined. The general aim of this [...]

Nanoparticles (NPs) are new inspiring clinical targets that have emerged from persistent efforts with unique properties and diverse applications. However, the main methods currently utilized in their production are not environmentally friendly. With the aim of promoting a green approach for the synthesis of NPs, this review describes eco-friendly methods [...]

This paper introduces inLaneCom – a framework to facilitate message exchange between vehicles on the same lane. Given the GPS infeasibility for a lane-level accuracy, inLaneCom utilizes smartphone’s inertial sensors to generate a unique lane signature used as lane ID in the exchanged messages. Lane signature consists of combined features [...]

Exogenous (non-traffic) factors, especially the economic conditions of the countries, may impact the cross-border travel demand. This study investigates the effects of non-traffic factors on border transport of the King Fahd Causeway. Moreover, a brief comparison is also provided with studies on urban traffic prediction. The historic stock market indices [...]

Stimuli-responsive proteins have gained a wide spread interest as functional biomaterials in drug delivery area. However, particular attention has been diverted to peptide-based materials due to their adaptability and reliable practical utility in biomedical applications under a range of physiological situations. Peptides exhibit a high degree of chemical and biophysical [...]

The world today is moving toward the connected environment because of the advance in the Information Technology, smart cities are a result of this evolution. One of the important technologies that get high attention within the framework of the smart cities is the smart transportation. The smart transportation or the [...]

In our digital age, the technology applications have been influencing all aspect of our life, and extending this effect to the way in which our professions are performed. Our goal of having smart cities is associated to the methods that govern our work. Smart design solutions have become essential part [...]

Maximizing the annual season of street comfort in hot climates requires synergies between all planning and design features. The absence of such combination compromises comfort and planning goals, like increasing walkability. Street orientation is both a determinant of its solar intake and a design feature that outlasts all others. In [...]
