A Real-Time Traffic Diversion Model: A Conceptual Approach
The development of a real-time traffic diversion control system for integrated freeway and arterial networks, as part of the most currently envisioned Intelligent Vehicle/Highway System...
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...
Effectiveness of Real-Time Information Strategies in Situations of Non-Recurrent Congestion
The effect of real-time information on the performance of a traffic commuting corridor in situations of non-recurrent congestion is studied using a dynamic simulation model. Non-recurrent...
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...
Observation and Modeling of Mobile Environment
Perception of the environment in a mobile robot is a difficult task. Other moving objects and various changes in the environment and motion of the robot must be handled together. Control...
Reef Breakwater Design for Lake Michigan Marina
An innovative breakwater concept consisting of a conventional breakwater and a submerged-reef breakwater operating in tandem has been designed for the southern end of Lake Michigan. The...
Design Experience Gained Through Physical Modeling of Small-Craft Harbors
A research work unit has been initiated to determine the state-of-knowledge of small boat harbor design. Existing design criteria for small-craft harbor design is based primarily on 'rule-of-thumb'...
Physical Model Testing of Barbers Point Harbor and Marina Complex
A three-dimensional, physical model study of the Barbers Point, Hawaii harbor and marina complex is being conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering...
Simplified Tidal-Flushing Model for Small Marinas
This paper describes the development and application of a new water quality screening model - STEAM (Simplified Tidal Embayment Assessment Model). This model simulates the first-order...
Predictive Techniques for Marina Water Quality Assessment
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...
Application of a Numerical Model to Develop Marina Concepts
A numerical model is presented to evaluate wave conditions in a marina basin for development and analysis of marina concepts. This model is based on the boundary integral equation method...
A Case Study of Propeller-Induced Currents and Sediment Transport in a Small Harbor
The operation of vessels in marinas and small harbors can provide important driving forces affecting ambient circulation patterns and current speeds near the bottom. The case study on...
Avalon Harbor Utilization
Avalon Harbor is a destination resort harbor which serves the Southern California boating community and recreation public. The harbor is a roadstead mooring in a partially protected cove....
Influence of Rigidity of Soil Surrounding Shield Tunnel Upon Equivalent Rigidity of the Tunnel in Axial Direction
The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between ground surrounding a shield-driven tunnel and segments, especially their ring-joint portion. When a seismic force acts...

Air-Water Mass Transfer
This monograph, Air-Water Mass Transfer: Selected Papers from the Second International Symposium on Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces, consists of papers presented at the Symposium which...
Reliability of Overhead Transmission Lines Subjected to Wind Action
The probability distribution of the strength of steel towers used in transmission lines, due to wind excitation, is evaluated on the basis of test results of 72 towers of various designs,...
Fully Nonlienar Models to Simulate Structural Response to Wind Loading
The paper summarizes some results of the analyses of two tall broadcasting towers, obtained by means of a specially developed numerical procedure taking into account all relevant nonlinear...
Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Marine Structures Under Random Wave Loads
A simple nonlinear dynamic structure/ship model is combined with a filtered noise model of random wave loads. It is shown how this model can include (1) non-Gaussian wave elevations and...
