Accurate forecasting of vessel traffic flow (VTF) is essential for modern maritime and port management, as it improves route-planning efficiency, reduces congestion and collision risks, and optimizes port operations. This study proposes a novel deep learning framework, namely, the Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition–Nocal Convolutional Neural Network–Transformer (BEMD–NocalCNN–Transformer), for high-precision VTF predic...

This study analyzes the stability of embankment slopes with inclined interlayers and vertical tensile cracks at the crest under saturated conditions. This study first establishes a composite failure mechanism based on a finite element limit analysis; then, it derives an upper-bound solution formula for stability considering pore water pressure; and finally, it verifies the rationality of the method through case comparisons. Th...
