Simulation-Based Training for Transportation Management Center (TMC) Operators
Effective simulation-based training for Transportation Management Center (TMC) operators enables operators to make the best use of their TMC and thereby to improve the efficiency and safety...

A Simulation and Data Management Environment for Off-Line Testing of IVHS Technologies and Strategies
CA is engaged in a rapidly expanding statewide effort to test and deploy advanced traffic management and traveller information systems to mitigate congestion and increase mobility. To...

IVHS and the Law of Privacy
The development of Intelligent Vehicles Highway System (IVHS) technologies has expanded the opportunities for surveillance and instructions upon personal privacy. This paper briefly examines...

Genesis ? Information on the Move
The access to enhanced real-time travel information is widely accepted as one of the cornerstones of any intelligent highway system. In the majority if IVHS programs currently underway...

European Consensus Formation and Standardisation in the Area of Road Transport and Traffic Telematics
In Europe ATT-implementation projects are run both by PROMETHEUS (EUREKA) and DRIVE (Commission of the European Communities). Many of these projects are urban and inter-urban field trials...

IVHS: Applications in Freight and Trucking Operations
This paper discusses the application of IVHS technology to freight and trucking activities. It is argued that because commercial vehicle operators perceive real benefits from IVHS, they...

Driver Response to Fog Conditions ? An Intelligent Approach
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) on NSW is currently examining options for replacing its Driver Aid System on the F6 Tollway south of Sydney. On this road drivers are affected by...

Strategic Updating of Autonomous Route Guidance Systems for Air Quality Management
The work in this paper stems from applied research which is implemented as part of the QUARET project. QUARET is a major initiative by four European Community cities. Athens, Birmingham,...

Simulation of the Dynamic Traffic Flow on Urban Road Network
Methods of performing dynamic traffic assignment are needed to simulate traffic conditions on urban highways during peak periods of congestion. In this paper, the route choice behavior...

Detection of Incidents and Traffic Disturbances in Freeways
This research aims to develop methods for detecting incidents and compression waves through simulation. The detection methods are based on a macroscopic traffic flow model that focuses...

Digital Mapping for Road Navigation in Japan
In Japan, more than 300,000 vehicles are presently equipped with car navigation systems. Development of these systems had been greatly aided by the completion of a standardized digital...

Pioneer Highway
The 1993 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award goes to the $490 million I-70 Glenwood Canyon in Colorado. The final link in Interstate 70 from Baltimore, Md. to Cove Fort, Utah,...

Scour Analysis at Highway Structures
ASCE Manual 54 entitled, `Sedimentation Engineering' is being revised. In the revision, a chapter on `Scour at Highway Bridges' will be included. This paper will describe in general terms...

Bridge Scour Analysis in New Jersey: Which Scour Factors Matter Most?
This paper seeks to correlate the scour susceptibility of bridges with such observable characteristics as bridge design features, waterway characteristics, and geographic and geologic...

In-Depth Scour Evaluations for Bridges in Pennsylvania
The scour evaluations described herein have been prepared for the Pennsylvania Turnpike bridge crossing the Unami Creek, the first bridge studied in a series of nineteen major Turnpike...

Comparison of Two Methods of Screening Bridges for Scour
Scour evaluations were performed for large numbers of bridges in two separate studies in New York and New Jersey. The two studies used different screening methods for identifying high-priority...

Case Studies of Bridge Scour in Western New York
As part of the New York State Thruway Authority's bridge hydrologic/hydraulic evaluation program, 63 structures over 42 stream crossings in western New York were assessed for scour potential...

Stream Stability and Scour Training in Support of the NBIS
The Federal Highway Administration is now requiring a comprehensive evaluation of bridge scour as part of the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). To support the implementation...

Implementation of the NBIS Scour Evaluation Program?District 2, Florida
The Federal Highway Administration is now requiring a comprehensive evaluation of bridge scour as part of the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). District 2, Florida Department...

The Fallacy of Local Abutment Scour Equations
Existing laboratory model studies for quantifying local abutment scour deviate significantly from conditions typically found in the field. This has resulted in predictive local abutment...
