Factors Affecting Injury Severity of Crashes in Freeway Tunnel Groups: A Random Parameter Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: On mountainous freeways, some tunnels are located adjacent to each other, composing a tunnel group where the safety conditions are more challenging compared to a single tunnel. However, most of the existing studies have ...
Distribution Analysis and Forecast of Traffic Flow of an Expressway Electronic Toll Collection Lane
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the rapid increase of vehicle ownership in China, toll collection stations on expressways have become some of the most congested areas. Compared with a manual toll collection system (MTC), the electronic toll collection ...
Effects of Pavement Surface Conditions on Traffic Crash Severity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Improving road safety through proper pavement maintenance is one of the goals of pavement management. Many studies have found that pavement conditions significantly influence traffic safety. Although several studies have ...
Analysis of the Impact of Fog-Related Reduced Visibility on Traffic Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There are few research studies that addressed the impact of reduced visibility due to fog using real-time data. It is thus meaningful to conduct further investigation that can clearly describe the changes in driving behavior ...
Safety Implications of Converting Continuous Green T-Intersections Back to Conventional T-Intersections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A continuous green T-intersection (CGT) is an innovative intersection that can improve the through traffic capacity by allowing major-leg vehicles on the top side of the T-intersection to pass through without stopping. ...
Short-Term Traffic Flow Prediction of Expressway Considering Spatial Influences
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Real-time and accurate short-term traffic flow prediction is important for the operation and management of expressways. This paper presents a hybrid model that can be used to discover the spatiotemporal dependencies of ...
Development of a 600 W Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Power System for the Hazardous Mission Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the advantage of fuel cells over secondary batteries such as long operation time, many efforts were executed in order to use fuel cells as main power sources of small electronic devices ...
