Large‐Truck Properties and Highway Design Criteria
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Substantial increases in truck weights and dimensions have occurred over the past decade and these changes have important implications for the criteria used for the design of various components of highway infrastructure. ...
Analyses of Canadian Air Travel Demands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The trends in Canadian domestic air‐travel demand during the past 20 years are described, and the annual changes in domestic air demand are shown to relate only very generally to the annual changes in economic activity. ...
Spatial Variations in Travel Behavior within Greater Toronto Area
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rapid suburbanization of housing and employment has produced severe traffic congestion in North American cities. One response to this problem in the greater Toronto area (GTA) has been to identify urban forms that are more ...
Passenger‐Terminal Simulation Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fluid approximation model for the simulation of passenger terminals is described. It is implemented via a specially designed, high‐level, passenger‐terminal simulation language, TERMSIM, which is Pascal‐based. TERMSIM ...
Impact of Commuter-Rail Services in Toronto Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ridership of the commuter-rail system that was implemented in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in 1967 increased at an annual, average compound rate of 11.4 until 1989. Demand has leveled substantially during 1990–94 and has ...
Pricing and Expansion of a Water Supply System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A general model for constrained optimum water pricing and capacity expansion is applied to the twin cities of Kitchener‐Waterloo (KW), Ontario. The model identifies the water price and water supply capacity, which maximizes ...
Simplified Railroad Capacity Analysis Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A microcomputer‐based railroad capacity analysis model is described which allows for interactive use. Train dynamics are calculated in a simplified way and the computer program displays the space‐time trajectories of ...
