The Noise Software Library is a collection of highway noise analysis software tools that are arranged together under a powerful file management system which provides a transparent method...
The Automation of Freeway Ramp Junctions Analysis
Congestion on urban freeways has been steadily increasing. In contrast, capacity expansion, by means of constructing new roadways, has not kept pace with the growth in demand. The primary...
Multiple Objectives, Uncertainty and Routing Decisions for Hazardous Materials Shipments
Explicit consideration of multiple objectives and uncertainty is important in hazardous materials transportation, particularly in regulating routes or making routing decisions. Application...
Simulation of ATIS Strategies to Mitigate Special Event Congestion
This research extends the performance and application of DYNASMART, a dynamic traffic simulation model which incorporates the three elements necessary for modeling traffic flow under information:...
Interactive Simulation for Modeling Dynamic Driver Behavior in Response to ATIS
It has been contended that in-laboratory experimentation with interactive microcomputer simulation can substitute for the lack of real-world applications and provide a useful approach...
Algorithms for Efficient Real-time Traffic Assignment
Fast algorithms are essential to accomplish real-time traffic assignment for optimal routing or traffic prediction under ATMS/ATIS. User-equilibrium and system-optimal traffic assignment...
A Real-Time Expert System for Freeway Incident Management in Orange County, California
This paper discusses the development of a prototype, multi-user, networked, real-time knowledge-based expert system (KBES) to provide decision support to California Department of Transportation...
User-Friendly Simulation Model for Traffic Networks with ATIS/ATMS
Implementation of ATIS (Advanced Traffic Information Systems) and/or ATMS (Advanced Traffic Management Systems) are proceeding in many cities around the world, but only very few frameworks...
Non-linear Analysis of a Cable Stayed Bridge
A concrete single-pylon cable-stayed bridge has been analyzed to investigate the ultimate capacity. Two different methods were used to investigate the nonlinear behaviour. First, a simplified...
Bellevue Smart Traveler: Phase 2
Traffic congestion in urban centers can be attributed to large numbers of workers traveling in single occupant vehicles to densely clustered downtown employment facilities. This project...
Evaluation Plan for AVL Implementations
