– One of the important applications of robots is in material handling and transport of various shaped objects. In cases where an object cannot be directly grasped by the robot gripper, and must be carried by a hook, it may be subject to undesirable swings during transport. This paper presents an analytical method for minimizing the oscillation of a suspended object during transport. This method...

Reviewing past and current mobility assessments for the Lebanese road transport sector, road mobility demand has experienced a real explosion since 1990, and the trend is strongly upward over the decade to come. This growth is mainly attributed to the raise of daily passenger trips and the increase of car ownership. Moreover, this increase in mobility demand results in severe congestion, mostly...

This paper presents an approach to the synthesis of compressed vibration test proŽ les representing much longer time histories obtained in road testing of ground vehicles. Vibration test proŽ les are deŽ ned as those related directly to operational testing on speciŽ c road surfaces and which summarize the input to the vehicle in the given conditions. The method extends the classical Fourier tra...

Given its vast land resources and favorable water supply, the Democratic Republic of Congo‟s (DRC) natural agricultural potential is immense. However, the economic potential of the sector is handicapped by one of the most dilapidated transport systems in the developing world (World Bank, 2006). Road investments are therefore a high priority in the government‟s investment plans, and those of its...

The concept of transporting medical products by drone is gaining a lot interest amongst the and logistics communities. Such innovation has generated several questions, key one being potential effects flight on stability products. aims this study were to quantify vibration present within flight, its effect quality insulin through live trials, compare from with traditional road transport. Three t...

agricultural waste biomass generated from agricultural production and food processing industry are abundant, such as durian  peel, mango peel, corn straw, rice bran, corn shell, potato peel and many more. due to low commercial value, these wastes are disposed in landfill, which if not managed properly may cause environmental problems. currently, environmental laws and regulations pertaining to ...

The desirable goal in passenger transportation is moving more people in fewer vehicles. This goal, in respect of road transport, can be attained by encouraging public transport modes like buses by assigning priority. This paper is concerned with application of micro simulation technique to study the impact of provision of reserved bus lanes on the flow of highly heterogeneous traffic on urban r...
