Nested Markov Decision Framework for Coordinating Pavement Improvement with Capacity Expansion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pavement improvement and capacity expansion traditionally fall in two different decision-making processes. Pavement improvement decisions are typically made at the maintenance level and focus on maintaining, rehabilitating, ...
Risk-Based Volume Warrants for Free Right-Turn Lanes on Two-Lane Roadways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Establishing warrant conditions for auxiliary free right-turn lanes is not only a policy concern but an engineering judgment that should be based on sound engineering principles. This paper presents a new methodology for ...
Integrating Left-Turn Lane Geometric Design with Signal Timing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The available design guidelines indicate a lack of proper methodologies for determining the length of left-turn lanes at signalized intersections. This is largely attributable to the alternating nature of stopped and ...
Effect of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Content and Binder Grade on Fatigue-Resisting Performance of Asphalt Mixtures in Georgia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Use of Recurrent Markov Chains for Modeling the Crack Performance of Flexible Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate prediction of the pavement crack condition is vital for pavement rehabilitation budget allocation. Due to largely nonlinear surface layer properties, randomness in the cracking mechanism, and the complexities ...
