Flow Investigation for Landfill Leachate
A two-dimensional unsteady-state moisture flow model has been developed in order to describe the leachate flow process in a landfill. The unsteady variation of leachate mound head has...

Selection of Optimal Best Management Practices (BMP's)
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) urban storm water program requires municipalities to remove non-point source (NPS) pollution to the 'maximum extent practicable',...

Continuous Simulation Modeling for Sewer Systems
The peaking-factor method of sanitary sewer design was developed to simplify the calculations in determining design flow rates. This method of analysis is conservative to the point that...

Managing Stormwater with a Microcontroller Operated System
Concepts of managing urban stormwater runoff with a microcontroller operated flow control system are presented. The microcontroller system allows flexible and precise flow control from...

A Raft System for Large River Hydraulic Measurements
Collection of hydraulic data in large rivers is a difficult, time consuming, and occasionally perilous task. High water velocities, considerable depths, and wide channels present obstacles...

The 3D Approach to Design
Designing directly in three dimensions, including integrated analysis and information flow, is a powerful way to enhance civil engineering capabilities. Yet, relatively few have taken...

Simulation of ATIS Strategies to Mitigate Special Event Congestion
This research extends the performance and application of DYNASMART, a dynamic traffic simulation model which incorporates the three elements necessary for modeling traffic flow under information:...

Landfill Groundwater Monitoring Data Administration
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has promulgated regulations that require the monitoring of groundwater samples at landfill sites. The analytical data resulting from sample...

Cycletime Simulation of Shield-Tunneling Operation
Computer simulation...

Graphical Resource-Based Object-Oriented Simulation for Construction Process Planning
Simulation is a powerful tool for construction process design and optimization. The results of a simulation provide detailed process information, such as resource utilization and idleness,...

Simulation Architecture for Advanced Traffic Management Systems
Trends in Intelligent Highway-Vehicle Systems (IVHS), specifically Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) technologies are directed toward better integration between intersection controller...

Modeling the Traffic Flow Impacts of Rehabilitation Activity on Two-Lane Highways
Researchers at the Purdue University have been involved in developing techniques for predicting the operational impacts created by one-way traffic control. These techniques estimate average...

A Short-Term Demand Forecasting Model from Real-Time Traffic Data
Developing real-time traffic diversion strategies is a major issue of Advance Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), a component of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems(IVHS). Traffic diversions...

New Wells Safeguard Scenic Tahoe
Surface water for drinking and for snow-making is becoming scarce in the Lake Tahoe region, along the California and Nevada border. New Environmental Protection regulations regarding surface...

Marsh Submergence vs. Marsh Accretion: Interpreting Accretion Deficit Data in Coastal Louisiana
The apparent imbalance between relative sea-level rise and vertical marsh accretion is frequently cited as a major factor in the problem of wetland loss in Louisiana. Rates of relative...

A Comparison of Electromagnetic Survey Results and Groundwater Quality Samples at an Animal Waste Storage Pond
Animal waste storage ponds are widely used to store manure over winter until it can be surface applied to growing crops as a fertilizer. There is an increasing concern for groundwater...

Influence of River Mouth Migrations on the Caucasian Black Sea Coast Development
When studying modern coastal and river-issue processes and comparing last century and modern maps some regularities were revealed. River arms, which are upstream the longitudinal sediment...

State-of-the-Art and Dynamic of Some Beaches of the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast
The considerable decrease of the solid flow off in the sea coastal zone and the intensification of the abrasion impact on the shore determined the increase of the coastal protection activity...

Filtering and Prediction on Freeways Using Markov Models
A Markov compartment model of freeway traffic flow is presented and used to derive a Kalman Filter which tracks a freeway section's density, broken down by destination. The filter is then...

A Dynamic Real-Time Incident Detection System for Urban Arterials?System Architecture and Preliminary Results
This study presents a system which is capable of detecting incidents in real-time and adjusting itself to traffic dynamics through the embedded learning mechanism. The entire system consists...
