Steering-Angle Prediction and Controller Design Based on Improved YOLOv5 for Steering-by-Wire System by Cunliang Ye, Yunlong Wang, Yongfu Wang, Yan Liu

“…To improve real-time accuracy in steering-angle prediction and enhance effectiveness in steering control, we update the bounding box regression loss function with the generalized intersection over union (GIoU) to Shape-IoU_Loss as a better-converging regression loss function for bounding-box improvement. …”

A case study on the impact of fiber distribution on X-connections of complex-shaped UHPFRC footbridges cast with recyclable formwork by Duc Anh Tran, Sandrine Heroux, Luca Sorelli, Mahdi Ben Ftima, David Conciatori, Christian Dupuis, Samuel Bernier-Lavigne

“…This study examines the influence of fiber distribution on the mechanical behavior of the X-connection, a critical structural detail in a novel latticework concept for UHPFRC footbridges, while also introducing an innovative approach using recycled wax formwork for shaping complex geometries.Following the architectural design process for the latticework UHPFRC footbridge, the methodology involves: (i) fabrication of fully recyclable wax formwork using CNC milling for two X-connection configurations with distinct crossing angles (i.e., the angle formed at the intersection of the X shape); (ii) gravity casting of UHPFRC, incorporating 1 % steel microfibers; (iii) application of the magnetic inductance method (MIM) for non-destructive testing to evaluate fiber distribution, supplemented by fiber counting and image analysis of cracked sections post-testing; (iv) mechanical testing of the X-connection under bending to assess structural performance; and (v) a nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (NLFEA) to comprehensively examine the impact of fiber distribution. …”

Roadside LiDAR for C-ITS: placement, calibration, and fusion of perception by Changlong Zhang, Wei Zhou, Zhichao Liu, Pengcheng Xie, Wang Li, Jian Ou, Haixing Bao, Jimin Wei, Yi Wang

“…To address these challenges, this paper introduces a solution that combines roadside LiDAR with Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology. To enable rapid deployment and calibration of roadside LiDAR at real-world environments, the study simulates a road segment environment using a real intersection and analyzes the distribution of LiDAR point clouds within the Roadside LiDAR Occupation Board (RSLOB). …”

MODELING OF ROUGH ROTARY MILLING OF CRANKSHAFT PINS by Kacper CIEŚLAR, Stanisław PŁONKA

“…On the main cutting edge of two cutting inserts of the disc milling cutter, points were marked at intersection locations with these planes. Using the Inventor 2016 system, twelve spline curves have been generated for each plane because each plane intersects 12 cutting inserts mounted in cassettes positioned around the circumference of the body of the disc milling cutter. …”
