Microcomputer Expert Systems in Transportation Engineering
This paper reviews microcomputer-based expert systems in transportation engineering. Expert systems have great potential for solving ill-structured problems and for becoming useful tools...

Expert Systems for Traffic Signal Control
The level of service achieved by a pretimed signal timing control strategy implemented at an isolated intersection incurring saturated and over-saturated demand varies with actual traffic...

Expert System for Transportation Corridors
Semantic nets and frame representations are used by an expert system under development to assist in the selection of projects and control strategies in transportation corridors. The project...

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...

Use of CAD for Traffic Sign Design Purposes
At present, AutoCAD is the most popular CAD system for micromputers. It is relatively inexpensive and is very flexible, comprehensive, and easy to use. A preliminary review of AutoCAD...

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,...

Setting Up a Microcomputer Bulletin Board
The Technology Transfer Program at Arizona State University initiated an electronic bulletin board in 1987 as part of its program of information services for local transportation agencies....

Conversion of Engineering Applications to Microcomputers
Conversion of programs from a mainframe environment to a microcomputer is a new experience to many engineers. This paper discusses briefly some basic issues and then focuses on the issues...

Subarea Planning Using Microcomputers
This paper presents the basic features of a subarea focusing program developed by JHK & Associates through a contract with the U. S. Department of Transportation. The program is...

Microcomputer Security
The author emphasizes the importance of back-up in relation to microcomputer security. He also adds that equipment and accidental file destruction must be avoided. The author examines...

Security Issues in Transportation Software Development
While there may indeed be valid concern for controlling access to computers and programs, and data integrity should be considered, there should not be burdensome features which render...

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...

Hydraulic Engineering
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...

Engineering Hydrology
The Surface Water Hydrology Committee, ASCE Hydraulics Division, sponsored this first Symposium on Engineering Hydrology. The Symposium was held jointly with the ASCE National Conference...

Teleport: New Wave Engineering
Between $600 and $700 million will be spent on teleports now being planned in the U.S., presenting interesting challenges to civil engineers. Just as airports and seaports serve as collection...

The Wet Look
The collapse of the Schoharie Creek bridge drew attention to underwater inspection. Underwater inspection of bridges gives engineers a better understanding of the condition of the bridges....

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...

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....
