Starting from Germany, the VFT® bridge girder technology (prefabricated composite beam) has spread in several European countries in the last decades as further development of the standard steel-concrete composite solution. Its configuration fits perfectly to integral frame bridges built over existing infrastructure with the scope to minimize the traffic disturbance. In this paper a further development with the focus on cost efficiency in span ranges of 40-55 m is proposed: the VFT-RS technology. The change consists in using standard rolled sections by adapting them into the integral frame bridge configuration, further enhancing the structural efficiency with the benefits of high- steel strength. The constructive details to achieve the polygonal form have been studied to allow easy fabrication and a maximal clearance height over highway traffic lanes. The VFT-RS solution is conceived as the economic option of standard highway overpasses, with the aim of an overall construction cost reduction of 5%.
At the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, students are introduced to working with built structures in the field of practical building analysis in the master's degree in civil engineering. The basis for the existing analysis is the geometry, materials used and the structure. New structural calculations are required for modifications or extensions. The students are taught which non-destructive testing methods can be used to determine the material properties of the building fabric. In addition, it is presented how the teaching is structured and using examples that show that teaching can be designed to be very practice-relevant.
Roebling became acquainted with Navier's theory at the Berlin Bauakademie in 1824/25. During his road planning work in Westphalia, he developed several suspension bridge projects in 1828. Roebling's travels along the Rhein and Ruhr in the winter of 1828 were connected with these projects. Roebling supplemented his notes on Dietlein's bridge-building lectures at the Berlin Bauakademie with excerpts from newer literature on suspension bridges. Under the title "Remarks on Bridge Construction" he discussed the results of his studies. Four known bridge projects can be distinguished. Two are only elaborated as an idea, in one case the project is only known by official letters. Only in the case of the Freienohl Bridge is there an exact description of the project. None of them have been brought to realization. Security considerations of the Berlin Oberbaudeputation probably led to the decision not to execute Roebling's Finnentrop project. This decision ought to be understood within the context of a bridge collapse in Nienburg /Saale in December 1825. When Roebling immigrated to the United States, he used his knowledge in construction methods and experiences with an experimental approach. For this reason, it is interesting to compare the early German projects with his first American bridges. While Roebling's first canal aqueducts combined suspension bridges with trusses, the Niagara Bridge marks a radical step forward to another dimension and to a new approach that emphasized thinking in terms of "systems". Interestingly, he also consistently maintained his construction principle for attaining stability by using rigid, wrapped main cables, inclined stays and wooden trusswork. Although he later used wrought iron profiles, he continued to use wooden constructions in his basic plans for a long time. There is no evidence that he made any contribution to the theories of trusses in a manner comparable with Whipple, Culmann, Gerber or others. Roebling's special talent lay in his constructive gifts.
Location recommendation (LR) or rather location-based recommender systems (LBRS) are an integral part of modern location-based services (LBS). Most LR algorithms only focus on location-specific attributes when calculating recommendations, while completely ignoring the urban structure surrounding the locations. (In this paper we refer to a geographic coordinate (latitude and longitude) as position. Locations and places in contrast refer to physical entities e.g. a restaurant, a bus stop or a lake). This paper demonstrates how the urban structure can be modelled in LR calculations by using data from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and the location data itself. Based on these datasets, we present two approaches to extend the LR process by (1) including the urban structure in direct proximity of the location (Proximity Indicators and Areal Descriptors) and by (2) not only looking for individual locations but location clusters (Similarity Clusters). Thereby we acknowledge the complexity of a location, which can not be perceived as a detached entity. A location is part of a given urban structure and we need to include the parameters of this structure in our algorithms. A prototypical implementation compares locations from four major German cities: Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne and thereby highlights the applicability of the underlying data structures derived from OSM and the location data itself. We conclude by outlining the potential of the presented approaches in the context of LR as well as their relevancy for urban planning and neighboring disciplines.
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) seem to be the next big step into the future of mobility solutions. Various research institutions in the automobile industry and academic sectors are striving to come out with the most futuristic concept. This paper focuses on the interaction between AVs and pedestrians. Furthermore, the paper aims to explore if complex communication needs can be signaled to pedestrians through motion behavior of the vehicle.
In order to learn how other road users feel surrounded by self-driving cars, participants were confronted with different drivability of a self-programmed vehicle during our evaluation. As the results show, the vehicle's motion behavior is able to evoke certain emotions, which in turn lead to rational decisions within the participants. This can be seen as a form of mutual communication.
