RISDual-Based Heuristic for Optimal Cordon Pricing Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper formulates the cordon pricing design problem with elastic demand as a mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC) to simultaneously optimize the cordon locations and cordon-specific toll levels, ...
Comparative Analysis of Unconditional and Conditional Priority for Use at Isolated Signalized Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conditional priority is recognized as having the potential to improve transit service reliability at small cost to general traffic. The popular preference for conditional priority over unconditional priority encounters the ...
Assessment of Low Cycle Fatigue Life of Steam Turbine Rotor Based on a Thermodynamic Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new nonlinear model is proposed to assess the low cycle fatigue life of a 300 MW steam turbine rotor. Manson-Coffin equation and cyclic stress-strain relationship are employed to eliminate ...
Analysis of Knowledge-Transfer Mechanisms in Construction Project Cooperation Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective knowledge transfer can improve the work efficiency of project network members. However, as traditional labor-intensive enterprises, construction companies do not pay enough attention to knowledge management, and ...
Relationship between Lane Width and Safety along Urban Expressways in Shanghai
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Safety issues along urban expressways have gained increasing attention for their direct impact on traffic operation, especially after a substantial amount of reconstruction work that altered the cross section designs to ...
