The Cal Poly ATMIS Traffic Operations Center Simulator
This paper describes the development of state-of-the-art traffic simulation software powerful enough to support a wide range of testbed experiments related to Advanced Traffic Management...

Development of Differential Growth Method for Automated Vehicle Recognition
The purpose of this study is to improve a system which enables automatic recognition of vehicles from video images using image processing system. Basic methodology is a subtracting operation...

An Application of Fuzzy Set Theory to Preference Analysis in Bus Route Choices
One of the difficulties in applying fuzzy set theory to the real situation is how to determine membership functions. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted to assess bus riders'...

An Integrated System to Facilitate the Analysis of Construction Claims
In recent years, considerable attention has been directed towards the ascertaining the nature of disruptions in construction contracting. In practice, attempts are made to identify the...

Resource Information System for Military Engineers
This paper describes a information system called RISE (Resource Information System, Engineers) developed at the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratories...

Automated Total Quality Management for the Constuction Industry
This paper describes the design of a computer system, called the Total Quality Management system (TQM), to integrate a Quality Assurance (QA) management system with time and resource management...

Building Renovation Decision Support Model
Theoretically, it may be assumed that with proper construction and maintenance the life of a building could be extended almost indefinitely. In practice, however, buildings tend to have...

Decision Support Systems in Construction Management
A Decision Support System is defined as a computerized tool to improve the effectiveness of decision-making in semi-structured tasks (e.g., tasks that require a manager's judgmental input....

Linking CAD and Expert Systems for Constructibility Reasoning
This paper describes the prototype expert system COKE (Construction Knowledge Expert) that was recently developed at the Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE) at Stanford University....

Classifying Constructability Information
Integration of constructability information in the early stages of a project is known to provide significant savings opportunities for cost and schedule. One critical part of such a program...

Constraint Management for Concurrent Design and Construction Using an Object-Oriented Project Model
To realize a richer communication among multiple disciplines participants of A/E/C project, an object-oriented product or project model is useful and powerful. especially sharing and maintaining...

The Use of Numerical Rule Processors in Engineering Calculations
A Numerical Rule Processor uses a declarative approach to the processing of engineering calculations. The rules which link the parameters are set out in a separate rule base and the order...

Creative Engineering Design Using Analogy
Designs in different domains vary in structure, performance and in many other aspects. However, their design purposes can be achieved in a limited number of ways. In this paper, we classify...

A Shape Annealing Approach to Creative Design of Structures
This paper shows how shape grammars can be used to model structural engineering problems. The shape annealing algorithm is then used to synthesize component topologies by bringing analysis...

Computer-Supported Creative Structural Design
In this paper, a model for creative engineering design using a network-based design prototype representation and a mutation technique is presented. The model distinguishes between a domain-dependent...

Optimal Processor Mapping for Massively Parallel Finite Element Computations
The exploitation of massively parallel computer for finite element analysis requires efficient usage of processors as well fast speed. For example, the efficiency of a parallel matrix...

Verification of Real-Time Software for Active Structural Control
In this paper we give an overview of our preliminary work in verifying the reliability of real-time software systems for active structural control. While there have been numerous studies...

Simulative Calculation of Highrise Building Structure Under Vertical Loads
It is well known, the general structural stiffness and the vertical construction loads are formed storey by storey from bottom to top of the building especially for cast R.C. structure....

Parallel-Adaptive Finite Element Analysis on a Transputer Cluster
This paper describes a parallel-adaptive finite element approach on a parallel transputer cluster of the MIMD type. The analysis is controlled by a special error indicator. In comparison...

The Influence of Preform on the Vibration Mode of a Thin Plate
In this paper, an algorithm is developed for the calculation of the vibration mode of a preformed thin plate. The principal governing equations are derived by using the large-deflection...
