With the development of the subway and the pressing demand of environmentally friendly transportation, more and more people travel by subway. In recent decades, the issues about passenger passive safety on the train have received extensive…
Significant trends in the vehicle industry are autonomous driving, micromobility, electrification and the increased use of shared mobility solutions. These new vehicle automation and mobility classes lead to a larger number of occupant…
If a bus line becomes unstable, passengers waiting time will be lengthened and buses capacities will be mismatched. To stabilize a high-frequency bus line, many holding strategies have been proposed. Among these strategies, some need to…
This paper aims to investigate the effect of acceleration on the discomfort of standing passengers. The acceleration levels from different public rail transport lines such as the mass rapid transits (MRTs) and light rail transits (LRTs) of…
Falls and their related injuries pose a significant risk to human health. One of the most common falls, the forward fall, frequently occurs among adults and the elderly. In this study, we propose using a human body model, developed using…
In the context of rail transit operations, real-time passenger flow prediction is essential; however, most models primarily focus on normal conditions, with limited research addressing incident situations. There are several intrinsic…
Vibration transmission is essential in the design of comfortable vehicle seats but knowledge is lacking on 3D trunk and head motion and the role of seat back and posture. We hypothesized that head motion is reduced when participants upper…
Today, metro is one of the urban infrastructure and plays an important role in urban transport. The safety and health of people in a city are always important, and transport in the metro should also be safe. When subway trains operate, it…
Head motion is a key determinant of motion comfort and differs substantially from seat motion due to seat and body compliance and dynamic postural stabilization. This paper compares different human body model fidelities to transmit seat…
We address the 80-year-old question of whether a freeway with more lanes results in fewer or more accidents. For finding the optimally safe number of lanes, in particular, we look at three types of accidents that are prevalent on urban…
Falling from elevated surfaces is the main cause of death and injury at construction sites. Based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports, an average of nearly three workers per day suffer fatal injuries from falling. Studies show…
Human and humanoid posture control models usually rely on single or multiple degrees of freedom inverted pendulum representation of upright stance associated with a feedback controller. In models typically focused on the action between…
The possible unavailability of urban rail-based transport services due to planned maintenance activities may have significant consequences on the perceived quality of service, thus affecting railway attractiveness. To cope with the…
The present study investigates perceived comfort and whole-body vibration transmissibility in intensive repetitive pitch exposure representing a bumpy ride. Three sitting strategies (preferred, erect, and slouched) were evaluated for…
In order to ensure the personal safety of the drivers and passengers of rail transit in plateau environment, the vital signs and train conditions of the drivers and passengers are taken as the research object, and the dynamic relationship…
This paper reports results from a high-fidelity driving simulator study (N=215) about a head-up display (HUD) that conveys a conditional automated vehicle's dynamic "uncertainty" about the current situation while fallback drivers watch…
Due to the complexity of the human body and its neuromuscular stabilization, it has been challenging to efficiently and accurately predict human motion and capture posture while being driven. Existing simple models of the seated human body…
Locomotion in the real world involves unexpected perturbations, and therefore requires strategies to maintain stability to successfully execute desired behaviours. Ensuring the safety of locomoting systems therefore necessitates a…
To investigate the impact of social groups on waiting behaviour of passengers at railway platforms a method to identify social groups through the monitoring of distances between pedestrians and the stability of those distances over time is…
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has caused sudden shocks in transportation systems, specifically the subway ridership patterns in New York City. Understanding the temporal pattern of subway ridership through statistical models is crucial…
