This article offers a historical review of the routes and roads in the Gran Caldas. The roads are seen as a heritage, cultural and identity reference, for which historical processes such as the colonization of the Andean Central Mountain range, —which includes migrations and settlements—, as well as the expansion and consolidation of Colombian coff...
Prehitro in nevarno vožnjo na cestah je treba ponekod umirjati z napravami in ukrepi za umirjanje prometa. Njihov primarni namen je omogočiti dobre življenjske pogoje z izboljšanjem varnosti, mobilnosti in udobja nemotoriziranega prometa, kar pa dosežemo z znižanjem hitrosti vozil in prometnih obremenitev na cestah. V magistrski nalogi sem naredila...

A comprehensive understanding of the effects of mountain roads on plant diversity is critical to finding the most effective solutions for managing this particular driver. Little is known, however, about the simultaneous effects that road have on the multiple facets of biodiversity, although roads are considered to be one of the major disturbances i...
Reka kljub strateški legi na najširšem prehodu od severnega Jadranskega morja proti srednjeevropski notranjosti ni mogla povsem izkoristiti svojega potenciala zaradi premoči Benetk in habsburškega favoriziranja Trsta. Tudi združitev zaledja pod žezlom Habsburžanov ni imela posebnega učinka, saj so v 16. stoletju širšo regijo ogrožali vpadi iz Osman...
Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is considered as a key potential enabler to improve driving safety and traffic efficiency. It allows for automated vehicle following using wireless communication in addition to onboard sensors. To achieve string stability in CACC platoons, constant time gap (CTG) spacing policies have prevailed in research...

大多数灵长类动物的数量都正在下降; 其中 60% 的物种面临灭绝。运输及服务通道 (即公路、铁路及公共设施和服务线路) 的扩张构成了一项重要的但未得到重视的威胁。随着运输及服务通道的发展, 它们预计会越来越多地出现在灵长类动物分布范围内, 因此有必要了解其对灵长类动物当前的影响程度和有效缓解这些影响的可用方案, 并认识到研究和知识的空缺。我们通过系统搜索的方法确定了描述灵长类动物和运输及服务通道之间关系的文献, 并从 1980-2020 年间发表的 327 项研究中提取了相关信息。结果显示, 灵长类动物中 62 个属的 218 个物种及亚种受到了影响, 明显多于《世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录》中列出的 92 个物种。这些研究大多数位于亚洲 (45%), 其次是非洲大陆 (31%), 新热...
This article represents traffic loads on the road structure distribution and evaluation of the vertical and horizontal stresses formation in the soil embankment. This evaluation allows to predict the depth and intensity of the propagation of additional stresses resulting from traffic loads. The calculations were performed in accordance with four no...
This paper describes the stability calculations of the most common road embankments slopes and their results using the modified Bishop method. By searching for the smallest possible effective angle of internal friction of the different slope steepness embankments, the possible different bases of the embankment, the weight of the embankment soil, th...
The development of assessment methods for the performance of Automated Vehicles (AVs) is essential to enable the deployment of automated driving technologies, due to the complex operational domain of AVs. One candidate is scenario-based assessment, in which test cases are derived from real-world road traffic scenarios obtained from driving data. Be...
The prosperity of urban life is dependent on its infrastructure. Urban underground infrastructure components (assets) are aging and need regular monitoring, maintenance and rehabilitation. These assets are often placed under pavements and in close vicinity to each other. Managing them in a coordinated way is rational considering costs and disruptio...
