A Data Base System for Hazardous Materials Transportation
This paper reports on a hazardous materials transportation study conducted in Arizona. Two types of surveys were conducted: hazardous waste shipments for 1983 and 1984 compiled from manifests;...

Procedures for Evaluating TSM Projects
The constraints of limited funding, increasing demand and environmental impact have led to an increase in Transportation Systems Management (TSM) improvements on surface transport systems....

Simulation of Intersections During Reconstruction
In order to make computer simulation of intersections more appealing and easier to use, and interactive, menu-driven micro-computer program, called INTERCON (Michalopoulos and Plum, 1986),...

Use of Transport Models in Airport Access Analysis
This paper describes transportation models built by Wilbur Smith and Associates (WSA) as part of a study of Newark International Airport (NIA), conducted for the Port Authority of New...

A Simulation/Animation of an Inland Railway Container Terminal
The Container Terminal Model (CTM) comprises a batch computer simulation model and interactive graphics animation package. The model has been developed to aid engineers and transportation...

Microcomputer Expert Systems in Transportation Engineering
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 Systems for Traffic Signal Control
The level of service achieved by a pretimed signal timing control strategy implemented at an isolated intersection incurring saturated and over-saturated demand varies with actual traffic...

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...

Expert Systems Approach for Analysis of High Hazard Locations
This paper focuses on the detailed analysis of specific highway locations that have been identified as hazardous in the framework of a State Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)....

CAD Generation of Accident Diagrams for Local Agencies
This paper reviews one such issue, safety, focusing on the development of a user-interface with a microcomputer CAD system. With this interface, the system is used to generate collision...

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
This book contains papers presented at the ASCE Irrigation and Drainage Division specialty conference, Irrigation Systems for the 21st Century, held in Portland, Oregon, July, 1987. Environmental...

Ground Water Management
This manual is designed to present an outline of groundwater hydrology, the details of planning for groundwater management, and a process of selection and implementation of management...

Connecticut: A Success Story
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) had warned the state legislature that its highways and bridges would continue to deteriorate without increased funds for inspection,...
