IVHS and HOV Facilities
This paper examines the application o f intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) technology to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities. Current projects are described and potential applications...

Editing Existing Paper Drawings
In the last five years, developments in creating and managing engineering drawings completely, within a computer environment, have been phenomenal. Computer Aided Design continues to make...

Modular Software for Editing Paper Drawings
Revising, tracking and storing large format engineering drawings has always been an expensive and complex problem for large industries. The management problem became much more complex...

Maintaining Engineering Drawings in the '90s
With the technologies available today, it is possible to begin a scanning system at a rather small or limited scale - and still realize a quantifiable return on investment. In the 90's,...

Your Paper Drawings in the World of Organized Information
A comprehensive discussion of available hybrid raster-vector techniques and tools is provided. The author uses a sample project to clarify the most common misjudgements that result from...

Information Technology: Panacea or Poison?
Consulting engineering is entering a period of dramatic change which will provide opportunities and threats. Pressure on fee levels and changing markets are necessitating a greater emphasis...

An Intelligent Interface for Construction Information
The paper describes the structure of a system being developed to make available a wide range of types of information to assist people in the construction industry. State-of-art search...

A Comparison of Two AI Based Design Systems
