Abstract	In natural kaolinite lattices, Al3+ can potentially be substituted by cations such as Mg2+, Ca2+, and Fe3+, thereby influencing its adsorption characteristics towards rare earth elements like Sc3+. Density functional theory (DFT) has emerged as a crucial tool in the study of adsorption phenomena, particularly for understanding the complex interactions of rare earth elements with clay minerals. This study employed DFT to investigate the impact of these three dopant elements on the adsorption of hydrated Sc3+ on the kaolinite (001) Al-OH surface. We discerned that the optimal adsorption configuration for hydrated Sc3+ is Sc(H2O)83+, with a preference for adsorption at the deprotonated O

Abstract	This research analyzed the real-world NOx and particle number (PN) emissions of 21 China VI heavy-duty diesel trucks (HDDTs). On-road emission conformity was first evaluated with portable emission measurement system (PEMS). Only 76.19 %, 71.43 % and 61.90 % of the vehicles passed the NOx test, PN test and both tests, respectively. The impacts of vehicle features including exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) equipment, mileage and tractive tonnage were then assessed. Results demonstrated that EGR helped reducing NOx emission factors (EFs) while increased PN EFs. Larger mileages and tractive tonnages corresponded to higher NOx and PN EFs, respectively. In-depth analyses regarding the influences of operating conditions on emissions were conducted with both numerical comparisons and statistical tests. Results proved that HDDTs generated higher NOx EFs under low speeds or large vehicle specific powers (VSPs), and higher PN EFs under high speeds or small VSPs in general. In addition, unqualified vehicles generated significantly higher NOx EFs than qualified vehicles on freeways or under speed≥40 km/h, while significant higher PN EFs were generated on suburban roads, freeways or under operating modes with positive VSPs by unqualified vehicles. The reliability and accuracy of on-board diagnostic (OBD) NOx data were finally investigated. Results revealed that 43 % of the test vehicles did not report reliable OBD data. Correlation analyses between OBD NOx and PEMS measurements further demonstrated that the consistency of instantaneous concentrations were generally low. However, sliding window averaged concentrations show better correlations, e.g., the Pearson correlation coefficients on 20s-window averaged concentrations exceeded 0.85 for most vehicles. The research results provide valuable insights into emission regulation, e.g., focusing more on medium- to high-speed operations to identify unqualified vehicles, setting higher standards to improve the quality of OBD data, and adopting window averaged OBD NOx concentrations in evaluating vehicle emission performance.

Abstract	The adsorption behavior of Sc on the surface of kaolinite (001) was investigated using the density functional theory via the generalized gradient approximation plane-wave pseudopotential method. The highest coordination numbers of hydrated Sc3+, ScOH2+, and ScOH2 + species are eight, six, and five, respectively. The adsorption model was based on ScOH2H2O5+, which has the most stable ionic configuration in the liquid phase. According to the adsorption energy and bonding mechanism, the adsorption of Sc ionic species can be categorized into outer layer and inner layer adsorptions. We found that the hydrated Sc ions were mainly adsorbed on the outer layer of the kaolinite (001)Al-OH and (00-1)Si-O surfaces through hydrogen bonding while also being adsorbed on the inner layer of the deprotonated kaolinite (001)Al-OH surface through coordination bonding. The inner layer adsorption has three adsorption configurations, with the lying hydroxyl group (O

Abstract	Cooperative perception (CP) is attracting increasing attention and is regarded as the core foundation to support cooperative driving automation, a potential key solution to addressing the safety, mobility, and sustainability issues of contemporary transportation systems. However, current research on CP is still at the beginning stages where a systematic problem formulation of CP is still missing, acting as the essential guideline of the system design of a CP system under real-world situations. In this paper, we formulate a universal CP system into an optimization problem and a mobile-edge-cloud framework called Cooperverse. This system addresses CP in a mixed connectivity and automation environment. A Dynamic Feature Sharing (DFS) methodology is introduced to support this CP system under certain constraints and a Random Priority Filtering (RPF) method is proposed to conduct DFS with high performance. Experiments have been conducted based on a high-fidelity CP platform, and the results show that the Cooperverse framework is effective for dynamic node engagement and the proposed DFS methodology can improve system CP performance by 14.5% and the RPF method can reduce the communication cost for mobile nodes by 90% with only 1.7% drop for average precision.

Abstract	High-definition (Hi-Def) digital maps are an indispensable automated driving technology that is developing rapidly. There are various commercial or governmental map products in the market. It is notable that the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) map tool allows the user to create MAP and Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) messages with free access. However, an analysis of the accuracy of this map tool is currently lacking in the literature. This paper provides such an analysis. The analysis manually selects 39 feature points within about 200 meters of the verified point and 55 feature points over longer distances from the verified point. All feature locations are surveyed using GNSS and mapped using the USDOT tool. Different error sources are evaluated to allow assessment of the USDOT map accuracy. In this investigation, The USDOT map tool is demonstrated to achieve 17 centimeters horizontal accuracy, which meets the lane-level map requirement. The maximum horizontal map error is less than 30 centimeters. Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures

Abstract	Air quality and human exposure to mobile source pollutants have become major concerns in urban transportation. Existing studies mainly focus on mitigating traffic congestion and reducing carbon footprints, with limited understanding of traffic-related health impacts from the environmental justice perspective. To address this gap, we present an innovative integrated simulation platform that models traffic-related air quality and human exposure at the microscopic level. The platform consists of five modules: SUMO for traffic modeling, MOVES for emissions modeling, a 3D grid-based dispersion model, a Matlab-based concentration visualizer, and a human exposure model. Our case study on multi-modal mobility on-demand services demonstrates that a distributed pickup strategy can reduce human cancer risk associated with PM2.5 by 33.4% compared to centralized pickup. Our platform offers quantitative results of traffic-related air quality and health impacts, useful for evaluating environmental issues and improving transportation systems management and operations strategies.

Abstract	Preceding vehicles typically dominate the movement of following vehicles in traffic systems, thereby significantly influencing the efficacy of eco-driving control that concentrates on vehicle speed optimization. To potentially mitigate the negative effect of preceding vehicles on eco-driving control at the signalized intersection, this paper proposes an overtakingenabled eco-approach control (OEAC) strategy. It combines driving lane planning and speed optimization for connected and automated vehicles to relax the first-in-first-out queuing policy at the signalized intersection, minimizing the target vehicle's energy consumption and travel delay. The OEAC adopts a receding horizon two-stage control framework to derive optimal driving trajectories for adapting to dynamic traffic conditions. In the first stage, the driving lane optimization problem is formulated as a Markov decision process and solved using dynamic programming, which takes into account the uncertain disturbance from preceding vehicles. In the second stage, the vehicle's speed trajectory with the minimal driving cost is optimized rapidly using Pontryagin's minimum principle to obtain the closed-form analytical optimal solution. Extensive simulations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the OEAC. The results show that the OEAC is excellent in driving cost reduction over constant speed and regular eco-approach and departure strategies in various traffic scenarios, with an average improvement of 20.91% and 5.62%, respectively.

Abstract	As the importance of non-tailpipe particles (NTP) over tailpipe emissions from urban traffic has been increasing, there is a need to evaluate NTP contributions to ambient particulate matter (PM) using representative source profiles. The Brake and Tire Wear Study conducted in Los Angeles, California in the winter of 2020 collected 64 PM₂.₅ and 64 PM₁₀ samples from 32 pairs of downwind-upwind measurements at two near-road locations (I-5 in Anaheim and I-710 in Long Beach). These samples were characterized for inorganic and organic markers and, along with locally-developed brake wear, tire wear, and road dust source profiles, subject to source apportionment using the effective-variance chemical mass balance (EV-CMB) model. Model results highlighted the dominance of resuspended dust in both PM₂.₅ (23–33%) and PM₁₀ (32–53%). Brake and tire wear contributed more to PM₂.₅ than tailpipe exhausts (diesel + gasoline) for I-5 (29–30% vs. 19–21%) while they were comparable for I-710 (15–17% vs. 15–19%). For PM₁₀, the brake and tire wear contributions were 2–3 times the exhaust contributions. Different fleet compositions on and near I-5 and I-710 appeared to influence the relative importance of NTP and exhaust sources. The downwind-upwind differences in source contributions were often insignificant, consistent with small and/or nearly equal impacts of adjacent highway traffic emissions on the downwind and upwind sites. The utility of sole markers, such as barium and zinc, to predict brake and tire wear abundances in ambient PM is evaluated.

Abstract	This research is aimed at investigating drivers' attitudes towards connected vehicle technology in general and two connected vehicle applications in particular-Lane Speed Monitoring and High Speed Differential Warning-which have been demonstrated via simulation to be effective in enhancing traffic mobility and safety, respectively. An online survey was sent to customers of an automobile manufacturer in the United States. Out of the 1453 survey responses that were received, 650 complete and valid responses were used to analyze the respondents' stated acceptance of and expected behavioral responses to the two connected vehicle applications under a variety of scenarios. Statistical analyses were conducted to examine the influence of demographic and socioeconomic factors. The results reveal that the respondents express high willingness to use connected vehicle technology and the two applications under various circumstances, and the willingness is strongly associated with age, gender, education level, and income. Higher levels of acceptance are observed in older, male, higher-educated, or higher-income respondents, while the patterns of conditional acceptance and expected behavioral responses vary with specific scenarios. These results provide useful information for application developers, traffic operators, and policy makers to steer connected vehicle technology development and deployment in the direction that will benefit both the users and the society.

Abstract	In this paper, we introduce an open-source model "MOVESTAR" to calculate the fuel consumption and pollutant emissions of motor vehicles. This model is developed based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES), which provides an accurate estimate of vehicle emissions under a wide range of user-defined conditions. Originally, MOVES requires users to specify many parameters through its software, including vehicle types, time periods, geographical areas, pollutants, vehicle operating characteristics, and road types. In this paper, MOVESTAR is developed as a simplified version, which only takes the second-by-second vehicle speed data and vehicle type as inputs. To enable easy integration of this model, its source code is provided in various languages, including MATLAB and C++. A case study is introduced in this paper to illustrate the effectiveness of the model in the development of advanced vehicle technology.
