Preliminary EDS Liquid Sample Adapter Design Assurance Testing

Abstract

A new liquid sample adapter design for the Explosive Destruction Systems has been developed. The design features a semi-transparent fluoropolymer tube coupled to the vessel high pressure sample valve with a closing quick connect fitting. The sample tubes are the pressure-limiting component. The tubes were hydrostatically tested to establish failure characteristics and pressure limits at ambient and operational temperatures. A group of tubes from two manufacturing lots were tested to determine the consistency of the commercial part. An upper pressure limit was determined for typical operations.

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.
