Mathematical Models for Reservoir Routing Analysis
Various mathematical models exist for the analysis of reservoir flood routing problems. This paper compares recent Runge-Kutta and Euler numerical techniques with the well known Puls approach...
Streamflow Forecasting for the Bradley Lake Project
The National Weather Service (NWS) uses a suite of software called NWS River Forecast System (NWSRFS) for operational river stage and streamflow forecasting. NWSRFS is a modular system...
A Method for Conducting Real Time Flood Forecast
In this paper, first, it explains about the real time flood forecast which must be conducted at rivers in Japan. Next, as a means to an end, it is proposing the utilization of runoff computation...
Real-Time Dynamic Flood Routing with NWS FLDWAV Model Using Kalman Filter Updating
Dynamic flood routing model based on the four-point implicit finite-difference solution of the complete one-dimensional Saint-Venant equations of unsteady flow are inherently deterministic....
River Characteristics of the Blue Nile Watershed
A common difficulty in modeling hydrological systems is the lack of available field data to assess the model parameters. In some cases, it is physically very difficult and expensive to...
Applicability of Two Simplified Flood Routing Methods: Level-Pool and Muskingum-Cunge
Simplified flood routing models for unsteady flow simulation in reservoirs and rivers have advantages of relatively small computing requirements when compared to dynamic routing models...
Hydraulic Modeling and Mapping of Mud and Debris Flows
The prediction of hyperconcentrated sediment flows on alluvial fans was advanced through the development of a two-dimensional, finite difference flood routing model FLO-2D. The model simulates...
Reliability Analysis of Levee System of a River
The levee height is determined by the summation between computed water level and an assumed freeboard. The water level is computed by given discharge in the steady conditions. Therefore,...
Honolulu International Airport (HIA) APM
The Hawaii Department of Transportation, in planning to meet passenger demands over the next 20 years, is providing for expanded terminal buildings. The expanse of the airport requires...
American Airlines' TrAAm System Vehicle Modification/Conversion Program
In October of 1992 American Airlines inaugurated a new people mover service among four stations within its two-terminal complex at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport (D/FW). Named the `TrAAm,'...
A Multi-objective Criteria Analysis for Alternative Route Planning
A multi-objective criteria analysis was used to identify a proposed rail spur route with the optimal combination of low environmental impact, favorable engineering characteristics and...
BRASS Modeling of Lo?za Reservoir, Puerto Rico, for Sediment Management Operations
Loiza reservoir, the principal water supply for metropolitan San Juan, delivers 3.5 m3/s (80 mgd) to the Sergio Cuevas filter plant. Sedimentation...
Transportation of Radioactive Materials Routing Analysis: The Nevada Experience
In 1987, the Nevada State Legislature passed a Bill requiring the Nevada Department of Transportation to develop and enforce a plan for highway routing of highway route controlled quantity...
Being Responsive and Getting the Job Done Right
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project Office (YMSCPO) has been given the responsibility for characterization of the potential repository...
A Community-Focused Routing and Siting Model for Hazardous Materials and Wastes
A model is presented that shippers, carriers and policy-makers can use to analyze routing problems for hazardous materials or routing-and-siting problems for wastes. Unlike many other...
Truck Accident and Release Rates for Hazmat Routing
Estimates of accident and release rates are essential in the conduct of risk assessments in routing studies for highway transportation of hazardous materials. Recent published literature...
Evaluation of Hazardous Material Transportation by Rail
ALK Associates Inc. of Princtron, NJ has developed a computer model, the Rail Hazardous Materials Routing System, which provides historical accident rate and population exposure statistics...
A Risk and Vulnerability Assessment Approach for Selecting Routes: Case Study of Hazardous Waste Transportation in Arizona
The study objective was to provide an approach to selecting routes to a proposed hazardous waste treatment and storage facility, based on a risk and vulnerability assessment. Probability...
