Abstract

The Device Assembly Diagnostic Stand (DADS) bracket is designed for use at the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility. It is intended to attach to the DADS and aid the placement of test devices into the DARHT vessel. Each DADS bracket is expected to withstand 100 pounds of force concentrated on the threads of a UNC 3/8-16 -2B tapped hole on the underside of the bracket. The bracket will be constructed of stainless steel-304L (material properties located in Appendix A). The total external dimensions of the bracket are 8.00 in. × 5.75 in. × 5.16 in. with a density of 0.286 lbm/in^3, the bracket will weigh approximately 38.47 lb. The purpose of this report is to document accurately the details of the finite element analysis performed on the DADS bracket and to prove the bracket can withstand the concentrated load, provided a safety factor of 5 to 1 is present.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
