Integrating Advanced Telematics into Urban and Regional Transport Policies?Munich Greater Area Case Study
Before the background of the emerging of advanced transport telecommunication and informatics several traffic information and control systems are under development with a bottom up approach....
Metering Strategies Applied to Signalized Networks
This paper describes the development and adaptation of ramp metering strategies for use in signalized networks. The strategies were developed in simulation environment using the micro-simulation...
Improvement of Terminal Reliability and Travel Time Reliability Under Traffic Management
Terminal reliability and travel time reliability of road networks are proposed as new indicators for road network management and construction. First, the significance of road network management...
Transit Signal Priority Treatments in the Puget Sound Region
This paper documents work which has been done in the Puget Sound region toward developing a region wide signal priority treatment. The study results documented herein were accomplished...
Simulation of the Dynamic Traffic Flow on Urban Road Network
Methods of performing dynamic traffic assignment are needed to simulate traffic conditions on urban highways during peak periods of congestion. In this paper, the route choice behavior...
Selected Precipitation Characteristics in Antelope Valley, Mojave Desert, CA
An urban hydrology study currently in progress in Antelope Valley, California, includes the collection and analyses of precipitation and runoff data. Storms in Antelope Valley are most...
The Use of a Flood Damage Rating System to Aid Urban Stormwater Management
Increasing urbanisation and the subsequent decrease in natural storage and infiltration potential in a catchment, cause increased runoff peaks and volumes. Existing stormwater drainage...
Alluvial Fan: Subset Definitions
The Flood Control District of Maricopa County, Arizona recently completed a study whose goal was to identify and describe four alluvial fans for instrumentation and long-term monitoring....
Minimum Streamflow for Habitat?A Case Study. Menikganga River Diversion Project?Sri Lanka
Determination of minimum streamflows to be left in the stream channel for the sustenance of the downstream habitats becomes a difficult task when quantitative requirements of such habitats...
Urban Nonpoint Pollution Control Kettering Demonstration Project
The development of effective nonpoint pollution control programs has become one of the most complex challenges facing local and state authorities. Because of the multifarious nature of...
A Revised Snowstorm Maximization Method for Canadian Boreal Regions
A proposed refinement in the development of design snowpacks for use in the derivation of probable maximum floods (PMF) estimates in the Canadian Boreal is presented. Shortcomings in the...
A Physically Based Methodology for Regional Flood Frequency Analysis
The problem of flood frequency estimation in ungauged catchments is approached by using statistical procedures jointly with derived distribution techniques. The application of this methodology...
Muskingum Basin Reservoir Pool Frequency Analysis
The purpose of the study was to develop a consistent and defendable elevation frequency analysis of pool elevations for sixteen reservoirs within the basin. A significant level of interest...
Hydrologic Regionalization Using a Homogeneity Test
A framework is presented for a regionalization method with a region of influence (ROI) approach. The methodology explicitly incorporates a homogeneity test in the process of selecting...
Probabilistic Calculation of Design Floods?SPEED
The probabilistic calculation of design floods was initiated in the 60s to overcome statistical calculation uncertainties. SPEED takes up and expands this original concept in the form...
Impact of Urbanization on Storm Runoff
The engineering design of hydraulic structures is directly associated with the estimation of design parameters connected with extreme events. Methods of estimating extreme events typically...
Practical Experience in the Probabilistic Based Management of Large Water Resources Systems
Probabilistic tools to assist with the management of large water resource systems in South Africa were developed and applied during the last decade. Acceptance today is not only due to...
Urban Wetlands for Multi-Disciplinary Stormwater Management
The evaluation of a stormwater management wetlands facility, from conceptual planning stages to final construction and operation, involves the interaction of many disciplines and agencies....
County Hydrology, Regional Approach
The effort to update the regional hydrology methods of the Santa Clara Valley Water District (District) entails a series of tasks that are long and difficult. This paper enumerates the...
Future Urbanization Effects on Occoquan Dam PMF
The Fairfax County Water Authority's Occoquan dam, in northern Virginia, are being anchored at a cost of about $2 million. The reason is to increase stability due to an increased PMF estimate...
