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...
Fault-Tolerant Computing Architecture for MF 88 and MP 89 Rolling Stock
For several years now, the French and the foreign railway industries have witnessed the development of a new generation of on-board computer systems for rolling stock. It mainly features...
Simulation of a Vehicle Platoon Control System for Automatic Highway Using the Fuzzy Control Concept
This paper discusses the concept of the longitudinal control of vehicle platoons on the highways. The paper discusses the simulation of vehicles with non-linear properties, such as air...
Organisation Structure and Control
With today's rapidly changing world economies and a variety of other pertinent factors, the euphoria of the past few years is fast dwindling and a professional approach in...

The construction of new marinas in coastal areas requires as assessment of potential impacts on water quality as a part of the permit process. This paper summarizes a study sponsored by...
A New Approach to Waterfront Development and Use Control
One of America's most significant waterfront communities is faced with complex problems regarding the preservation and enhancement of its maritime and waterfront heritage....
Marina Cabo San Lucas?A Case Study
Designing and constructing a high quality, state-of-the-art marina is a difficult task in major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles or San Francisco. But when the marina development...
Alternative Airfield Pavement Quality Control
In recent years, the cost of maintaining quality control during airfield construction projects has concerned airport operators and engineers alike. This paper addresses the possibilities...
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...

On Aseismic Hybrid Control System
One type of hybrid control system is proposed for protecting tall buildings subjected to strong earthquakes. The hybrid system consists of a base isolation system connected to either a...
Practical Aspects of Structural Control
Several problems in the practical implementation of structural control are discussed herein. These problems include the prediction of the actual behavior of existing structures, mathematical...
Safety Improvement of Earthquake Loaded Structures Application of Semi-Active Control in Multi-Storey Buildings
This paper presents the studies for development of a new concept of aseismic design of structures. Basis of that engineering will be a structural optimization including elastic supported...
Active Control of Structures Under Stochastic Base Excitation with a Predominant Frequency
Active control of structures under stochastic base excitation is investigated. The synthesis of an active control system discussed in the study is based on the use of stochastic control...
On the Adequacy of Linearized Methods for Control of Nonlinear Bridge Oscillations
