Abstract: The development of a prototype knowledge‐based expert system (KBES) for selecting appropriate traffic control strategies and management techniques around highway work zones is described. The knowledge base of this KBES is ...

Abstract: Dynamic message signs (DMS) are used in conjunction with other media to communicate traffic conditions, general information, and recommended diversion strategies to motorists. This study uses loop detector data from Richmond, ...

Abstract: The capability to forecast traffic volume in an operational setting has been identified as a critical need for intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In particular, traffic volume forecasts will support proactive, dynamic ...

Abstract: Transportation planning applications typically calibrate models for a base year and then make forecast year projections. However, modelers rarely evaluate the accuracy of their forecasts by using past data sets to predict ...

Abstract: The process of transportation planning begins with an assumed land use and then projects future traffic volumes. To determine land-use limitations as a function of the capacity of the transportation system, we reversed the ...

Abstract: One of the principal objectives of a transit project is to stimulate economic development. It is desirable to have early involvement of private sector developers in the transit planning process. However, the private sector ...

Abstract: This paper describes the stages in the development of an expert system for evaluating and prioritizing highway/railroad grade crossings for safety improvements in the state of Virginia. In the introduction, a brief description ...

Abstract: The successful development of deterioration prediction models requires an adequate and reliable database. The task of preparing the database for developing refined deterioration models for Virginia's interstate pavements ...
