APPLICATION OF FUZZY FMEA TO PERFORM AN EXTENSIVE RISK ANALYSIS IN MARITIME TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

The nature of maritime transportation involves numerous hazards, which can lead to serious consequences for human life, marine environment and ship. Therefore, achieving a high level of safety is recognised as paramount in maritime industry (Akyuz, 2016). In order to achieve this purpose, this paper prompts a fuzzy based Failure Mode and Effects analysis (FMEA) to perform an extensive risk analysis in the maritime transportation industry. The method has capable of identifying potential failures and calculating risk priority number (RPN) by capturing nonlinear casual relationships between the failures. The proposed method is applied to hatch cover failures in operational aspects in bulk carrier ships since potential failures of hydraulic hatch covers have serious concerns for ship owners. Besides its theoretical insight, the paper has practical benefits to ship owners, superintendents as well as safety professionals by identifying potential failure and offering early corrective actions.

This book has been prepared keeping in view the experience in the implementation of Docks, Harbour and Airport Engineering on engineering concepts which are applied in field of Water and Air Transportation Engineering. Diverse knowledge of Docks, Harbour and Airport engineering practices applied to real life problems. The students will learn to understand the theoretical and practical aspects of Docks, Harbour and Airport engineering along with the design and management applications.

Compiling Textbook of Elastic-plastic Mechanics for Major of Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation Engineering

"Elastic-plastic mechanics" is a required course for engineering postgraduates in petroleum colleges and universities, such as students who major in oil and gas storage and transportation engineering. It is the basis for personnel engaged in structural safety assessment. In the past teaching process, the teaching effects of this course were unsatisfactory. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as the strong theoretical nature of this course, the need for a large number of formula derivation, the high requirements for students' mechanical foundation and mathematical foundation, the lack of appropriate teaching materials and the slackness of students' minds. Based on years of teaching experience, the teaching team has reformed the existing teaching materials of “Elastic-plastic mechanics” to meet the needs of petroleum colleges and universities. In this reform, we have referred to a large number of published textbooks of “Elasticplastic mechanics” and the experience of textbook construction at home and abroad. The newly compiled textbook of “Elastic-plastic mechanics” plays a certain role in improving the teaching quality of “Elastic-plastic mechanics” in petroleum colleges and universities.

Exploring contributions of drones towards Industry 4.0

Purpose Unmanned aerial vehicles are commonly known as UAVs and drones. Nowadays, industries have begun to realise the operational and economic benefits of drone-enabled tasks. The Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, drones, etc., represent implementable advanced technologies intended to accomplish Industry 4.0. The purpose of this study is to discuss the significant contributions of drones for Industry 4.0. Design/methodology/approach Nowadays, drones are used for inspections, mapping and surveying in difficult or hazardous locations. For writing this paper, relevant research papers on drone for Industry 4.0 are identified from various research platforms such as Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate and ScienceDirect. Given the enormous extent of the topic, this work analyses many papers, reports and news stories in an attempt to comprehend and clarify Industry 4.0. Findings Drones are being implemented in manufacturing, entertainment industries (cinematography, etc.) and machinery across the world. Thermal-imaging devices attached to drones can detect variable heat levels emanating from a facility, trigger the sprinkler system and inform emergency authorities. Due partly to their utility and adaptability in industrial areas such as energy, transportation, engineering and more, autonomous drones significantly impact Industry 4.0. This paper discusses drones and their types. Several technological advances and primary extents of drones for Industry 4.0 are diagrammatically elaborated. Further, the authors identified and discussed 19 major applications of drones for Industry 4.0. Originality/value This paper’s originality lies in its discussion and exploration of the capabilities of drones for Industry 4.0, especially in manufacturing organisations. In addition to improving efficiency and site productivity, drones can easily undertake routine inspections and check streamlines operations and maintenance procedures. This work contributes to creating a common foundation for comprehending Industry 4.0 outcomes from many disciplinary viewpoints, allowing for more research and development for industrial innovation and technological progress.

Discussion and Practice of Blended Teaching in Basic Theory and Application of GSM-R

In order to accommodate the trend of high-speed railway signaling integrating with communication techniques, Basic Theory and Application of GSM-R is a crucial curriculum for students majoring in Traffic Information Engineering and Control and Transportation Engineering. It helps students to master the latest theory and application of train-ground communication techniques. However, with the application of the next generation railway mobile communication technique, several advanced communication techniques are presented in the form of English materials. It is of great significance to have a bilingual teaching mode for this course. This would contribute to cultivating research-oriented and professional talents with international competitiveness. Through the blended teaching reform of bilingual education, the proportion of topic selection of interdisciplinary research papers by postgraduates has increased from 6% to 15%. In this article, the characteristics and the current problems of bilingual teaching are discussed from theory to practice in three aspects: the production of bilingual courseware, the supplement of English materials, and the guidance of research topics. Additionally, corresponding teaching reform schemes are proposed in this article.

Private Car O-D Flow Estimation Based on Automated Vehicle Monitoring Data: Theoretical Issues and Empirical Evidence

Data on the daily activity of private cars form the basis of many studies in the field of transportation engineering. In the past, in order to obtain such data, a large number of collection techniques based on travel diaries and driver interviews were used. Telematics applied to vehicles and to a broad range of economic activities has opened up new opportunities for transportation engineers, allowing a significant increase in the volume and detail level of data collected. One of the options for obtaining information on the daily activity of private cars now consists of processing data from automated vehicle monitoring (AVM). Therefore, in this context, and in order to explore the opportunity offered by telematics, this paper presents a methodology for obtaining origin–destination flows through basic info extracted from AVM/floating car data (FCD). Then, the benefits of such a procedure are evaluated through its implementation in a real test case, i.e., the Veneto region in northern Italy where full-day AVM/FCD data were available with about 30,000 vehicles surveyed and more than 388,000 trips identified. Then, the goodness of the proposed methodology for O-D flow estimation is validated through assignment to the road network and comparison with traffic count data. Taking into account aspects of vehicle-sampling observations, this paper also points out issues related to sample representativeness, both in terms of daily activities and spatial coverage. A preliminary descriptive analysis of the O-D flows was carried out, and the analysis of the revealed trip patterns is presented.
