A novel COVID‐19 based truck driver syndemic? Implications for public health, safety, and vital supply chains
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "American Journal of Industrial Medicine"
DOI: 10.1002/ajim.23138
Abstract: Abstract U.S. long‐haul truck drivers traverse great distances and interact with numerous individuals, rendering them vulnerable to acquiring and transmitting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Together, the unique co‐occurrence of pronounced health disparities and known COVID‐19… read more here.

Longitudinal deep truck: Deep longitudinal model with application to sim2real deep reinforcement learning for heavy‐duty truck control in the field
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Field Robotics"
DOI: 10.1002/rob.22131
Abstract: To develop cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), the choice of control approach often influences and can limit the choice of model structure, and vice versa. For heavy‐duty trucks, practical application of CACC in the field… read more here.
