Queueing Applications for Stop Sign Operation
A pair of programs has been developed as a teaching tool to illustrate the application of simple queueing principles to transportation problems as taught in an introductory course in Transportation...

POSIT?An Interactive Timing Optimization Program
A window-oriented, microcomputer-based signal optimization program called POSIT (Program for Optimizing Signalized Intersection Timing) has been developed that provides traffic engineers...

A Freeway Simulation Program for Microcomputers
An interactive, menu driven macroscopic freeway simulation program with graphic capabilities is presented in this paper. In addition to the employment of personal computers the program...

Applications of Computer Graphics in Traffic Control
Computer models to develop improved designs and traffic management schemes are used more effectively with graphical displays of their results. This paper describes the TRANSYT DISPLAY...

Traffic Signal System Information Management Using a Microcomputer Based Record Keeping Program
This paper presents various aspects of traffic signal system management using a special purpose microcomputer based information and record keeping program. The paper presents a brief background,...

On-Line Color Graphics for Demand-Responsive Scheduling
Scheduling and dispatching a fleet of vehicles to respond to ongoing requests for transportation to and from various points in an urban area can be a complex proposition. Human controllers...

Graphics-Based Transportation Modelling with DIME/GADS/NEDS
Graphics helps analysts, policy-makers and the public understand the inter-relationships of land use patterns and transportation systems. A suite of graphics-based programs provide a decision-support...

Traffic Planning Using Interactive Color Graphics
This paper describes the MULATM microcomputer traffic planning model, as an example of the possible uses for microcomputers in transportation planning. These uses include interactive input/output,...

Basic Freeway Section Design and Analysis
This paper presents the development and applications of an interactive, microcomputer-based program, FREWAY, for the design and performance evaluation of a basic freeway section with consideration...

Designing Infrastructure User Charge Strategies
The changing environment of public finance is such that greater use of self-funding and financial independence will be required of public facilities and municipal services. Traditionally,...

Infrastructure Decisions: Comments?Questions?Suggestions
The paper discusses some of the decisions that can or should be made when planning and operating infrastructure systems. Six classes of decisions are discussed: local considerations, local...

Tunneling Operations and Equipment
The papers included in the Proceedings describe four diverse tunneling prjects of varying diameters, design criteria, ground conditions and construction techniques undertaken at locations...

Avoiding Contract Disputes
Contract disputes among parties involved in the construction project are very expensive in both time and dollars. Owners, designers, construction managers and contractors all share in...

Engineering with Spreadsheets
With an electronic spreadsheet, the geotechnical engineer has a powerful tool for solving routine engineering problems. The ability of the electronic spreadsheet to use the calculus of...

Project Management on a Micro
Increasingly, project management programs that once required the power of a mainframe computer are being modified to work on micros. Some of the programs being used at a number of firms...

Second-Guessing the Engineer
The relationships between utilities and the bodies that regulate them have changed drastically in the past few years. No longer can any costs associated with the construction of new power...

Engineering with Fabric
Geotextiles are lending their strength to construction projects where conventional methods won't work. At Washington National Airport, an embankment was built into the Potomac...

Simplified Design and Construction Control for Roller Compacted Concrete
This paper presents a simplified approach to the design and construction quality control of roller compacted concrete (RCC) based on research of previous projects, discussions with experienced...

Construction of Two Spillways Using Roller Compacted Concrete
Roller Compacted Concrete (or RCC) is a relatively new method of construction and in many projects can be a low cost alternate to or foundation for conventional reinforced concrete. The...
