Automatic Object Identification in Road
The methodology for automatic object recognition in real road traffic environment is presented. The proposed data acquisition methods have been tested on site. In addition, the fundamental...

Stereo Vision with Scan-Line Cameras for Intrusion Detection on L.R.T. Tracks
In this paper we present a new method for the detection of intrusions by means of stereo vision in order to infer 3D information from two linear sensors. This method can be used for security...

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...

A Catastrophe Theory Approach to Freeway Incident Detection
This paper discusses an approach to incident detection on freeways that classifies traffic conditions at a single station rather than by comparing conditions at adjacent stations. The...

A Low Pass Filter for Incident Detection
A new algorithm for automatic incident detection was developed after observing that existing algorithm performance can improve if detector data are filtered before use. The new algorithm...

Automatic Incident Detection Using Image Processing Techniques: A Specific System Used in INVAID
INRETS together with other partners, within the European DRIVE program framework is working on developing a system able to detect incidents on motorway by processing video images (Jref....

A Distributed Real Time Knowledge-Based System Using Video Image Processing for Junctions Automatic Incident Detection
The scope of the INVAID project (in the European DRIVE program) is to build an automatic incident detection system which incorporate the image processing capabilities. In the urban aspects...

Minnesota Department of Transportation Experience in the Application of Advanced Traffic Management Systems
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) began deploying Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) in the early 70's. The Interstate 35W just south of the Minneapolis...

Identify the Marina User Market and Make the Customer a Part of the Planning Team: Designing and Managing for the User's Needs
A practical surveying method is described which allows a marketing firm to simultaneously - and quantitatively - analyze demographic market composition (for both upland and in-water uses)...

The Application of a Structural Analysis Program to Floating Dock and Guide Pile Design
The floating dock systems and guide piles used in marinas are often designed using over simplified analysis techniques. However, if the dock system is flexible or if either the soil conditions...

Burns Waterways?Boat Capacity Study
The results of a boat capacity study for the Burns Waterway located in the city of Portage, Indiana, close to the southern tip of Lake Michigan are presented. More than 650 recreational...

Frictional Base Isolation Using a Layered Soil-Synthetic Liner System
The application of smooth geotextile liner materials to seismic base isolation of shallow foundations has been evaluated using laboratory testing and numerical analysis. Laboratory testing...

Seismic Hazard Analysis of Buried Pipeline for Design
This paper concerns mainly the following three items on seismic hazard analysis of buried pipeline for design: (1) effects of pipeline length on risk, (2) effects of local site conditions...

Results of the 1989 ASCE Airfield Pavement Survey
In November of 1989, the American Society of Civil Engineers Airfield Pavement Committee sent out questionnaires to airfield pavement engineers across the country to assess the most recent...
