Reexamining Pedestrian Crossing Warrants based on Vehicular Delay at Urban Arterial Midblock Sections under Mixed Traffic Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pedestrian crossing activity at unmarked crosswalks on urban roads in developing countries like India is a common phenomenon. Pedestrians used to cross the road at their place of interest to access residential and commercial ...
Concept of Stream Equivalency Factor for Heterogeneous Traffic on Urban Arterial Roads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mixed traffic flow is often converted to equivalent flow in passenger car units (PCUs) by multiplying the number of each category of vehicles in the traffic stream by their respective PCU factors and then adding them up. ...
Influence of Nonmotorized Vehicles on Speed Characteristics and Capacity of Mixed Motorized Traffic of Urban Arterial Midblock Sections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Traffic stream characteristics are largely influenced by the presence of nonmotorized vehicles (NMVs) when mixed with the motorized vehicles in a non-lane-based heterogeneous traffic stream. The traffic stream operation ...
Vehicular Emission Modeling at Toll Plaza Using Performance Box Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Delay occurring on any facility causes an extra amount of fuel consumption, leading to extra emissions. Toll plazas are the points laid on the highways for toll transaction that act as bottlenecks on highways. Vehicles ...
Performance Evaluation of Stabilized Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement as Base Layer in Flexible Pavement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The increased scarcity of natural quarry material has resulted in increases in the cost and burden on the environment. Pavement materials comprising asphalt coated aggregates that can be reused are called reclaimed asphalt ...
Exploring the Efficacy of Artificial Intelligence in Speed Prediction: Explainable Machine-Learning Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The primary concern regarding road design elements is traffic stream speed, which is considered a good indicator of travel quality. Although a great deal of time and effort is needed to estimate traffic stream speed from ...
Modeling Speed and Capacity Estimation at Urban Midblock Sections under the Influence of Crossing Pedestrians
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pedestrian crossing at undesignated midblock locations is a prevalent phenomenon in developing countries like India that adversely affects the traffic performance of such sections. The present study aims to determine the ...
Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Stabilized Fly Ash as an Alternative Material for Sustainable Pavements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Thermal power plants in India produce a large quantity of fly ash, which is harmful to the environment. Underutilization of fly ash and the scarcity of natural minerals have created the need for an unusual construction ...
Dilemma Zone Identification and Mitigation Approach at Signalized Intersections under Mixed Traffic Conditions Using UAV Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traffic safety at signalized intersections is significantly affected by the driver’s behavior, psychology, and the design of traffic signals, especially in mixed traffic conditions. At signalized intersections, the traffic ...
Traffic Flow Analysis at Manual Tollbooth Operation under Mixed Traffic Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Heterogeneous traffic conditions prevail in all countries across the world, but the degree of heterogeneity is different in developed and developing countries. In the United States, heavy vehicles (trucks and buses) are ...
