Sensitivity of Traffic Speed to Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hazardous weather conditions can pose a threat to the functioning of transportation systems. While the impacts of extreme weather events (e.g., hurricanes/tornadoes and flooding) on transportation disruptions have received ...
Trajectory-Based Signal Control in Mixed Connected Vehicle Environments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The emerging connected vehicle (CV) technology has introduced the opportunity to improve traditional traffic signal operation. Real-time vehicle trajectory information (location, speed, and heading) from CV technology can ...
Discrete-Outcome Analysis of Tornado Damage Following the 2011 Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Tornado
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Ground-truth measurements of damage caused by natural disasters are routinely used to determine which factors of the natural, built, and social environment contribute to losses from these events. Process-based models, which ...
Analytical and Empirical Evaluation of Freight Priority System in Connected Vehicle Environment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The transit signal priority (TSP) strategy has been widely adopted as a practical approach to improving the efficiency and reliability of transit operations. Over the years, few studies have adopted the concept of TSP to ...
Duration Analysis of Emergency Shutdown Incidents Regarding Hazardous Liquid Pipelines
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pipelines serve as critical infrastructure, and shutdowns of any duration can cause interruptions to sensitive supply chains. This paper develops a model using 789 incidents involving a hazardous liquid pipeline emergency ...
Feasibility Assessment for Implementing Adaptive Traffic Signal Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Adaptive traffic control systems (ATCS) continuously adapt to changing traffic in order to improve traffic performance at signalized intersections. Typical before–after studies evaluate the success of ATCS deployments by ...
