Abstract: The ethical implications for the engineering profession of the development and deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) can be explored by analyzing the implications of AVs across three major socio-technical systems—technology, ...

Abstract: Heavy rainfall events are becoming more common in many areas with escalating climate change, and these events can considerably affect travel speed and road safety. It is critical to understand when and how rainfall events ...

Abstract: An overview of applying global climate model (GCM) projections of temperature and precipitation in infrastructure engineering is provided, with summarized general procedures, a review of commonly used projection products ...

Abstract: Data-driven social equity assessments of infrastructure performance are essential for reducing inequity and for institutionalizing community stakeholder considerations in infrastructure asset management programs. We expand ...

Abstract: To improve the resiliency of designs, particularly for long-lived infrastructure, current engineering practice must be updated to incorporate a range of future climate conditions that are likely to be different from the ...

Abstract: The development of natural gas resources in the Marcellus Shale formation has progressed rapidly in the last several years, particularly in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These activities require many heavy truck trips ...

Abstract: Designing infrastructure for a changing climate remains a major challenge for engineers. In popular discourse a narrative has emerged that infrastructures are likely underdesigned for the future. Weather-related hazards ...
