Use of the DEB Model in MARTA's Service Planning
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is in the process of expanding bus and rail services. The expansion program requires the preparation of annual and five year system...
Use of a Schedule and Runcut Simulator
The development of a computer program which simulates the transit scheduling and runcutting processes is discussed. The program, called OCRS, was developed for the Multi-Corridor Project...
A Microcomputer Storm Sewer Program for Highway Drainage Design
This paper presents results and findings of an ongoing research project on highway drainage sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration through the Virginia Transportation Research...
Roadway Geometric Design Applications

Cost-Effective Sizing of the Transit Extraboard
In 1983, the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) provided funds to develop manual procedures known as the User's Guide to Optimizing the Transit Operator Work...
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),...
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...
A Simulation/Animation of an Inland Railway Container Terminal
The Container Terminal Model (CTM) comprises a batch computer simulation model and interactive graphics animation package. The model has been developed to aid engineers and transportation...
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...

The papers in this book were presented at the ASCE National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering, August, 1987, Williamsburg, Va. The objective of this conference was to provide a forum...
Harbor Revived
In Racine, Wis., officials' plans to turn a defunct commercial harbor into a recreational boaters' paradise have signaled an economic turn-around for a depressed...
Operational Experiences With a Wells Turbine on a Wave Powered Navigation Study
The objective of the research programme was to design a 100W Wells turbine generator unit which could be matched to standard tail tube buoys. Optimization of the power conversion chain...
On the Performance of a Wave Power Converter
This paper presents the KN-principle for wave - power conversion. The principle and components of the wave power converter are described and some practical relations are presented in order...
Evaluation of Sediment Transport and Friction Factor Equations Using MOBED
Three sediment transport rate equations and the same number of friction factor equations for mobile boundary channel flows were evaluated using a mobile boundary flow model called MOBED....
Solution to a Waterhammer Problem: A Case Study
Waterhammer is caused by a rapid change in the flow velocity of liquid in a pressurized pipeline. Therefore, the potential for waterhammer exists in almost every pressurized liquid piping...
Twisting in the Wind
Wind tunnel tests are being used increasingly to test the aerodynamic stability of bridges. Many designers think these tests should be used early in the conceptual design stage, rather...
