A Model for Analyzing Large Transportation Networks on a Microcomputer
The Pedestrian Level of Service (PEDLS) model combines the best features of spreadsheet programs - their ease of use for inputting data and producing printed output reports - with the...

Trip Table Estimation from Observed Traffic Volumes
This estimation technique identifies the most likely trip table to produce a specified set of traffic counts when assigned to a representative highway network. The resultant table is derived...

Downloading Baltimore Regional Databases
The Regional Planning Council (RPC) now is exploring through trial-and-error, the most effective, efficient means of performing travel demand forecasts cooperatively with its 'clients....

County-Level Planning Model in Atlanta Region
Gwinnett County is working with the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and Barton-Ashman Associates to download the ARC trip tables for use in a microcomputer transportation planning model...

A Travel Demand Modeling System for Istanbul
This paper describes the development and application of a microcomputer-based travel demand modeling system as part of an 18-month planning and feasibility study for the Istanbul Metro...

Computerization of Transit Performance Evaluatio
The Virginia Transit Performance Evaluation Package (VATPEP) has reduced the state's effort in processing information for its annual report on public transportation from over...

Human Factors in a Bus Route Monitoring System
In 1984 the Maryland Mass Transit Administration began a systemwide route monitoring effort. Data collection was accomplished principally by on-board checkers using laptop Epson microcomputers...

Microcomputer Applications for Pavements
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been active in exploring expanded microcomputer applications with the goal of improving efficiency and benefits to the public through reducing...

Simulation of Intersections During Reconstruction
In order to make computer simulation of intersections more appealing and easier to use, and interactive, menu-driven micro-computer program, called INTERCON (Michalopoulos and Plum, 1986),...

Microcomputer Assisted Bridge Rating
Before microcomputers can be useful to those officials responsible for rating the approximately 576,000 bridges in this country, software systems must be developed to analyze and rate...

Use of Transport Models in Airport Access Analysis
This paper describes transportation models built by Wilbur Smith and Associates (WSA) as part of a study of Newark International Airport (NIA), conducted for the Port Authority of New...

Expert Systems Approach for Analysis of High Hazard Locations
This paper focuses on the detailed analysis of specific highway locations that have been identified as hazardous in the framework of a State Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)....

CAD Generation of Accident Diagrams for Local Agencies
This paper reviews one such issue, safety, focusing on the development of a user-interface with a microcomputer CAD system. With this interface, the system is used to generate collision...

Photogrammetric Analysis Using a Personal Computer
In many cases, photographs of the accident scene taken soon after the event contain visible evidence of road marks and/or debris. By the time the case reaches the accident investigator/reconstructionist,...

Addressing the Risks of Computer Model Misuse
The proliferation of relatively inexpensive small computers, and accompanying transportation-oriented software, has brought many capabilities to transportation agencies previously unavailable...

Computer Applications in Structural Engineering
The papers in this book deal with the development or application of software systems to the design, analysis, and drafting activities associated with engineered structures. A number of...

Dynamics of Structures
This volume includes the papers presented at the 6th Structures Congress of ASCE which deal with the analysis, design, and behavior of civil engineering structures and facilities subjected...

Fail Safe Management
Engineers are increasingly embroiled in cases where failure is defined as improper administration or management of a procedure instead of the collapse of a structure or the failure of...

Preliminary Design and Construction Plan for an Ocean Wave Energy Conversion System
A preliminary design and construction plan for a prototype wave energy conversion system is described. While the design methodology and construction procedures are intended for generic...

The Effects of Earthquakes on Power and Industrial Facilities and Implications for Nuclear Power Plant Design
Fifteen earthquakes, ranging from magnitude 5.2 to 8.4 on the Richter scale that have occurred in five countries since 1952, were studied. This report documents the performance of power...
