Comparative Analysis of Household Activity Matching Approaches in Transportation Analysis and Simulation System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Transportation Analysis and Simulation System (
Integrated Stochastic Approach for Risk and Service Estimation: Passing Sight Distance Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The geometric design of highway elements is based on a set of standards that do not consider the risk levels associated with these designs. Safety elements including risk measures need to be identified and incorporated ...
Characteristics of Hazardous‐Material Accidents in Pennsylvania
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pennsylvania has accounted for the highest number of hazardous material incidents in the United States between 1971 and 1983, with 90% of the incidents being highway related. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation ...
Assessing the Risk in the Design of Passing Sight Distances
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mostly, design methods in transportation engineering do not address the level of risk associated with the design and use of various highway elements. Passing sight distance (PSD) is an example of a highway operational ...
Contribution of Aggressive Drivers to Automobile Tailpipe Emissions under Acceleration and Braking Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A small fraction of the vehicle fleet produces a large ratio of the total mobile source emissions or the total fuel consumption due to different patterns of driving behavior based on driver characteristics. The Next ...
Microcomputer Model for Design and Location of Runway Exits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An interactive microcomputer program referred to as runway exit design interactive model (REDIM) has been developed to optimally locate and design high‐speed runway exits at airports. The model uses kinematic equations to ...
Travelers’ Response to Value Pricing: Application of Departure Time Choices to TRANSIMS
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is a lack of proper travel demand forecasting tools that can evaluate and determine the impacts of pricing on travelers’ decision. The current methods use aggregated and zonal-based approaches that lack the capability ...
