Pavement Network Level Management Using Micro PAVER
This paper presents pavement network level management using Micro PAVER with emphasis on pavement condition prediction modeling and annual and long range work planning....
Mitigation of Excessive Wastewater Infiltration/Inflow Effects for US Army Installations
Wastewater collection system on military installations require periodic maintenance and repair, and occasionally upgrading. Deterioration of wastewater systems enables the entry of extraneous...
An Overview of Markovian Models for Bridge Management Systems
The typical infrastructure maintenance decision-making environment involves multiples objectives, uncertainty, and dynamics of the most commonly used infrastructure models, which captures...
Deterioration Models for Highway Bridges
Infrastructure management, especially in case of highway bridges, need a realistic and effective deterioration model in order to provide information on the present and future condition...
The Finnish Bridge Management System
A computer-based Bridge Management system, BMS, was designed in Finland by the Finish National Road Administration (FinnRA) to assist in high level bridge policy, long-term planning and...
Identifying a New Role of the Future Planner
It has been amply demonstrated over the last three decades that public planning is subject to great uncertainties, both in dealing with new technologies as well as in dealing with fuzzy...
Projecting Land Use/Transportation Interactions
The inherent uncertainty in forecasting the interaction between transportation capacity and induced development has resulted in insufficient analysis of this dynamic in the transportation...
Digital Imaging as a Design Tool
On most engineering projects, schematic drawings offer a technical representation of a structure to clients. For staff or the public who are not technically knowledgeable, though, schematics...
A Short-Term Demand Forecasting Model from Real-Time Traffic Data
Developing real-time traffic diversion strategies is a major issue of Advance Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), a component of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems(IVHS). Traffic diversions...
Use of Fuzzy Theory for Dealing with Uncertainty: Evaluating Alternatives Under Uncertainty
A method to deal with uncertainty which is associated with vagueness and ambiguity is presented. Fuzzy sets are introduced to account for vagueness in expression and fuzzy measure is introduced...
A Combined Noise Model for HSGT Traffic
Environmental concerns are high on the list of possible problem areas for proposed high speed ground transportation (HSGT) systems. A Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic...
Estimating the Ground Transportation Impacts of the Maglev System
This paper will examine the planning process required to conduct a transportation analysis for a high speed ground transportation system, utilizing the Orlando experience as an example....
Medium Classic Rail Traffic: How to Forecast the New High Speed Rail Traffic
This paper describes the current situation of the transport flows by modes in the international relations between Spain and the rest of Europe. Explains the geographic zoning adopted for...
Intercity Travel Demand Modeling and Forecasting for High Speed Rail Service in the Quebec-Ontario Corridor
This paper describes the application of intercity travel demand models and preparation of ridership and revenue forecasts for the Ontario/Quebec Rapid Train Task Force in 1990. The development...
Intercity Travel Demand Forecasting for the Windsor-Quebec City Corridor
Travel demand forecasts were required for the 600-mile-long Quebec City - Windsor Canada Corridor to test alternative rail systems including high speed rail. The approach involved application...
Assumptions Behind Ridership Forecasts for High Speed Ground Transportation Systems and Their Validity: The California-Nevada Case Study
Accurate prediction of ridership is one of the key elements for approval of any transit project and eventually for survival after the system begins operation. This is particularly true...
Development of Simulation and Cost Models to Compare HSR and Maglev Systems
Both high-speed rail (HSR) and magnetically levitated systems offer comfortable and safe ground transportation at high speed. The cost structure and performance of these systems and their...
Automation for Design of High Speed Rail Alignments
The widespread industry practice of using civil engineering software modified for the design of High Speed Rail alignment is inefficient and produces inadequate results. Advances in computer...
The Use of Multibody Software in the Wheel/Rail Contact as Applied to Very High Speed Tests
How strange may it be, the behaviour of railway vehicles depend on contact forces developing between wheels and rails inside patches of no more than 1 cm2....
Implementation and Maintenance of a TGV Line
Because of the success of the TGV in France since the opening date in 1981, SNCF plans to implement 2800 miles of new line in the next 20 years. A new line project poses two management...
