Arterial Traffic Flow in Construction Zones
Previously, NETSIM (NETwork SIMulation model) was the only available simulation model that could investigate a wide mix of traffic control and traffic management strategies for a network...
Validation of a Traffic Modeling System for Detour Planning
The Downtown Seattle Transit Project (DSTP) was initiated as an effort to relieve existing traffic congestion in downtown Seattle. It consists primarily of a 1.3-mile electric-bus tunnel...
A Microcomputer Based Pavement Design Program
This paper describes a newly developed pavement design program. The performance of a number of pavement structures are projected over the analysis period. Structurally adequate designs...
A Microcomputer Methodology for Parsimoniously Structuring a Set of Activities
The paper develops a systematic methodology to aid in the identification and rapid structuring of a system of activities. In essence, the user is asked to supply only the names of the...
Estimating Toll Diversion for Beltways
The proposed E-470 beltway is a 48-mile circumferential highway which will connect major public and private developments east of the Denver metropolitan area as well as the new Denver...
Microcomputer Financial Planning for Transportation
This paper describes the development, testing, and application of a microcomputer financial analysis model called the Transit and Highway Revenues and Improvement Forecasting Templates...
Transit Route Planning Using Data Downloaded from UTPS
A comprehensive evaluation of alternative bus routing and service patterns was recently performed for the Alameda-Contra Costa (AC) Transit District, the principal public transit operator...
Incorporating Risk Analysis Into Spreadsheet Forecasts
The risk analysis technique presented overcomes the difficulties of sensitivity analysis by entering key input variables as probability distributions, rather than as discreet values. Using...
Advances in Trip Matrix Estimation
The derivation of Origin-Destination (O-D) trip matrices is a vital component of much transportation planning. Obtaining accurate O-D data often poses a challenge on account of the large...
Maximizing Your Use of Interactive Graphics in Transportation Simulation Modeling
The paper discusses the capabilities, through the aid of computer graphics,now that exist to take analysis and reporting of traffic simulation model studies several steps further than...
Dynamic Assignment Modelling with Trips
This paper describes additional ways in which TRIPS models time-varying, or 'dynamic' effects. These include area-wide effects as vehicles move through the network,...
A Survey of Three-Dimensional Numerical Estuarine Models
This paper surveys the existing 3-D estuarine hydrodynamic and solute transport models by a review of the commonly used assumptions and approximations, and by an examination of the methods...
Curvilinear Long Wave Hydrodynamic (CLHYD) for Tidal Circulation and Storm Surge Propagation
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the ability of a two-dimensional long wave hydrodynamic model to simulate long wave processes in curvilinear coordinates. The series of tests...
Application of a Boundary Fitted Coordinate Hydrodynamic Model
A three-dimensional, boundary-fitted hydrodynamic model was applied in a two-dimensional, vertically-averaged mode to predict the tidal circulation in Mt. Hope Bay, a small estuary located...
Evolution of a Three-Dimensional Curvilinear-Grid Hydrodynamic Model for Estuaries, Lakes and Coastal Waters: CH3D
Traditional finite-difference models of estuarine, coastal and lake hydrodynamics and transport use rectangular Cartesian grids in the horizontal directions. In order to accurately represent...
Modeling and Data Uses in Hydraulic Transport Investigations, New Bedford Estuary, Mass.
Field measurements, laboratory tests, and models were used together to make transport predictions for the sediments and dissolved materials which would be released by proposed dredging...
Dispersion Analysis of the Dartmouth, MA Municipal Sewage Outfall Off Salters Point
The water quality impacts of the existing and proposed upgraded Dartmouth, Massachusetts Wastewater Treatment Plant on the Salters Point region of Buzzards Bay were examined through the...
Long-Term Fate of PCB Contamination in the New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts, System
The transport and fate of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site is modeled using a three-dimensional hydrodynamics and sediment-contaminant transport...
Circulation and Transport Modeling in New Bedford Harbor
Three-dimensional hydrodynamics and mass transport were simulated in the New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts, area in support of a combined sewers/sewage outfall facilities planning project...
Application of Particle Tracking Model for Ocean Outfall Siting in New Bedford, Massachusetts
PACE, a particle tracking model, was used to assist siting studies for an ocean outfall to be built in conjunction with the City of New Bedford's proposed new secondary wastewater...
