Engineering Geological Map of the Sakha(Yakutia) Republic

The Engineering Geological Map of the Sakha（Yakutia） Republic covers about 3 million kilometers which is one-fifth of the territory of Russia.The map displays ground and geocryological conditions and active faults.Seismic intensity,schemes of zoning by factors of engineering geological conditions,and the general scheme of engineering geological zoning of the Sakha（Yakutia） Republic or the SR（Y）,are shown on the inset maps.The map is required to provide information for planning,construction and exploitation of engineering structures in the SR（Y）.A distinguishing feature of the map is the indication of almost blanket distribution of the frozen ground class.Types of the frozen ground class are separated by lithology,while ground varieties are separated by temperature.Fresh and ultra-fresh suprapermafrost water is predominant within the territory.The compiled map indicates parts of the Arctic-Asian and Baikalo-Stanovoi planetary seismic belts that make engineering geological conditions more complicated.

Engine-Map-Based Predictive Fuel-Efficient Control Strategies for a Group of Connected Vehicles

An engine-map-based predictive fuel-efficient control strategy for a group of connected vehicles is presented. A decentralizedmodel predictive control framework is formulated to predict the optimal velocity profile that compromises fuel economy andmobility while guaranteeing the safety of each vehicle. In the model predictive control framework, an engine-map-based fuelconsumption model is established by implementing a backward conventional vehicle model in the cost function. Moreover,the cost function is normalized by dividing each term by its reference value. An extra cost is added to the safety term when thedistance between adjacent vehicles drops to a critical value to guarantee vehicle safety, while another extra cost is consideredfor the velocity tracking term to prevent the violation of traffic rules. The results of simulation show the effectiveness of theproposed control method.
