“…Flexible pavement design in the UAE is currently based on the AASHTO 1993, which doesn't take into account the local climate conditions in the UAE (Hassan et al,2022 ;Ashour et al, 2022) Therefore, the primary goal of this research is to create the climatic data inputs necessary for structural pavement design in the UAE as a first step toward implementing the MEPDG, known as AASHTOWare ME Pavement Design in the UAE.…”

The current state of practice in the UAE is to use AASHTO 1993 for pavement designs, yet this method is empirical and has several limitations. The local traffic characteristics, climate conditions, and materials properties must be incorporated in more explicit and mechanistic ways. This study is part of ongoing local research efforts to move towards the implementation of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide, known as MEPDG, which depends on fundamental material properties, integrated climate conditions, and real traffic characteristics. The main objective of this study is to develop the historical climate data files and climate inputs for 20 different automatic and airports stations covering the entire UAE. These weather stations were divided into four geographical regions: desert area, urban area, coastal area, and mountainous area. In addition, the study investigates the impact of local climate conditions on the simulated asphalt pavement performance using the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design. This study showed that, however, UAE is a small country yet there are some differences between the climate records of the different weather stations, which is expected to affect pavement design and performance depending on the project site location. For example, the warmest weather station has 36% higher temperature than the coldest weather station at Jabal Jais. This in turn displayed up to 40% and 23% differences in the asphalt concrete (AC) rutting and total rutting, respectively between these extreme weather stations. These findings and many other emphasize the crucial need to consider the climate data inputs at the project level bases, where a single climate data file cannot represent the entire UAE.

The erratic modern world introduces challenges to all sectors of societies and potentially introduces additional inequality. One possibility to decrease the educational inequality is to provide remote access to facilities that enable learning and training. A similar approach of remote resource usage can be utilized in resource-poor situations where the required equipment is available at other premises. The concept of Industry 5.0 (i5.0) focuses on a human-centric approach, enabling technologies to concentrate on human–machine interaction and emphasizing the importance of societal values. This paper introduces a novel robotics teleoperation platform supported by the i5.0. The platform reduces inequality and allows usage and learning of robotics remotely independently of time and location. The platform is based on digital twins with bi-directional data transmission between the physical and digital counterparts. The proposed system allows teleoperation, remote programming, and near real-time monitoring of controlled robots, robot time scheduling, and social interaction between users. The system design and implementation are described in detail, followed by experimental results.
