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 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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

Bridges and Transmission Line Structures
This volume on Bridges and Transmission Line Structures contains papers from ten sessions and one plenary session of the 1987 ASCE Structures Congress. Eight sessions cover bridges. A...

Irrigation Systems for the 21st Century
