Experiment and Prediction of Ablation Depth in Excimer Laser Micromachining of Optical Polymer Waveguides by K. F. Tamrin, S. S. Zakariyah, K. M. A. Hossain, N. A. Sheikh

“…Among the manufacturing methods, UV laser ablation using an excimer laser has been repeatedly demonstrated as a suitable technique to fabricate multimode polymer waveguides. However, the main challenge is to precisely control and predict the topology of the waveguides without the need for extensive characterisation which is both time consuming and costly. …”

Path Loss Modeling of Wireless Signals in Underground Tunnels by Yaning Li, Baoguo Yu, Lu Huang

“…In this paper, a hybrid model describing the propagation attenuation of wireless signals in underground tunnels is proposed, which divides the propagation channel into three subdomains according to the length of the tunnel, namely, the region of the free space propagation model, the region of the multimode propagation described by the ray tracing method, and the region of the improved waveguide model by adding the influences of tunnel roughness, tunnel inclination, and metal pipes. …”

Optimal Bus-Bridging Service under a Metro Station Disruption by Haodong Yin, Jianjun Wu, Huijun Sun, Yunchao Qu, Xin Yang, Bo Wang

“…Two main contributions are made: (1) a three-layer discrete choice behavior model is developed to analyze the dynamic passenger flow demand under station disruption; and (2) an integrated algorithm is designed to manage and control the station disruption crisis by providing additional bus-bridging services with the objective of minimizing the total travel time of affected passengers and the operating cost of bridging-buses. Besides, the multimodal transport modes, including metro, bridging-bus, shared-bike, and taxi, are considered as passengers’ alternative choices in face of the station disruption. …”
