Abstract: Toll plazas are one kind of highway node that pose a challenge to the flow of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Some toll roads have open road tolling (ORT), which makes it easier and more efficient for AVs, but most toll plazas ...

Abstract: Concrete bridge decks overlaid with asphalt wearing courses often witness early distresses, such as shoving, potholes, raveling, and slippage cracking resulting from poor bonds between the two layers with different modulus. ...

Abstract: The paper utilizes a linearly increasing variable power vehicle dynamics model to develop the

Abstract: Pavement crack detection on pixel-levels is a high-profile application of computer vision and semantic segmentation. In this paper, a two-step convolutional neural network (CNN) method is proposed to detect crack-pixels ...

Abstract: It is common knowledge that a relationship exists between the volumetric sediment concentration, the percentage of clay mineral content, and the activity of clay minerals (which is related to the clay type) and the yield ...

Abstract: In this paper, a computer system named Advanced Emulator (AE), which is developed for simulation of traffic models, is presented. Unlike traditional transportation programs such as PARAMICS and VISSIM, AE has no built-in ...

Abstract: In this paper, a bilevel programming model for the bus frequency design is presented, which determines the optimal bus frequencies aiming to minimize the total travel time of passengers subject to the constraint on the ...

Abstract: Periodic measurements of sight distance on as-built roads and subsequent removal of sight obstructions are important for guaranteeing highway safety. In this paper, an accurate and efficient framework is proposed for ...

Abstract: The warm Arctic–cold continent pattern (WACC) of near-surface air temperature variability has often been associated with the connection between Arctic sea ice reduction and cold weather over the midlatitude continents. ...
