An Analytical Framework for Minimizing Freeway Incident Response Time
The reduction in incident delay is an important aspect of any freeway management program as it results in substantial savings to roadway users. This paper presents an integrated decision...
Optimal Ramp-Metering Control for Freeway Corridors
The paper discusses an optimal ramp-metering control model wherein a corridor is discretized into small road sections, with density as the state variable and ramp metering rates, the control...
Application of Control Theory to Regulate Traffic Flow on Periurban Ringways
Two on-ramp metering strategies are compared by a simulation study for the Boulevard Peripherique in Paris. The first one is a local strategy, based on linear feedback control theory....
Design and Evaluation of Multi-Band Progression Schemes
Multiband is a new arterial progression scheme that has the capability to assign each directional road section with an individually volume-weighted band. The method offers to the traffic...
Car Wars?The DOTs Strike Back
HNTB is developing integrated computer systems utilizing standard hardware and software platforms coupled with graphical user interfaces for traffic management systems (TMS). Rapid, user-friendly...
A New Approach for Real-Time Prediction of Traffic Demand-Diversion in Freeway Corridors
An adaptive method is developed for real-time prediction of demand and diversion of traffic flow at on-ramp areas of freeway corridors. The prediction method explicitly treats the time-variant...
Dynamic Stochastic Equilibrium Model in Multiple Vehicle Type Transportation Networks
In this study, a multi-vehicle type dynamic stochastic user equilibrium model (called MDSUE model for abbreviation) is developed. By using MDSUE model, the prediction of departure rates...
Dynamic Estimation of Freeway Demand Patterns and a Stochastic Programming Approach to Freeway Ramp Metering
Controlling the rate at which vehicles are allowed to enter a freeway from the freeway's on-ramps has become a standard method for reducing the impact of both recurring and...
Viscoelastomeric Connections in Seismic Structures
Nonlinear Kelvin and Maxwell impedances connect lumped masses to form arbitrary networks. Viscoelastomer-steel composite moment connections are modeled similarly, using auxiliary masses,...

Time Management for Engineers and Constructors
This book is the first in a series which focuses on engineers' management needs. It presents time management principles for the practicing engineer and constructor, in a concise,...
Freudenthal Lecture Developments in Structural Reliability
Rather than reviewing the details of developments in structural reliability theory and its implementation over the last few decades, more recent and more relevant reliability issues are...
Loading Uncertainties in Extreme Waves
Uncertainties associated with extreme base shear forces and extreme overturning moments are estimated for an idealized eight-legged jacket platform. The structure is assumed to respond...
Probabilistic Evaluation of the Performance of Axially Loaded Bored Piles
Probabilistic evaluation of single slender elastic elements, bored piles, in a multi-layered soil system without noticeable displacement of the soils are considered. The numerical analyses...
Development of Seismic Hazards Data Base
A seismic hazards data base has been developed as a research tool for the engineering and seismology communities. The data base, which is still growing, currently contains information...
Graphic Demonstration of Seismic Hazards Data Base
A seismic hazards data base has been developed as a research tool for the engineering and seismology communities. The data base presently holds five categories of data, the largest of...
Global Damage Indices and Nonlinear Structural Response
Damage indices based on equivalent linear parameters have been proposed for the analysis of global seismic damage. The analysis of shaking table experiments and strong motion records has...
Simple Damage Predictors for Large-Scale Seismic Risk Mapping
Although it is now recognized that there is a risk of moderate seismic activity in the Eastern United States, many existing buildings were not designed for earthquake forces. To evaluate...
