A Vertical Railroad Alignment Design with Construction and Operating Costs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Vertical alignment profiles are generally governed by geographical constraints; however, vertical alignment design is important, as it may significantly affect operating decisions such as travel time and tractive and braking ...
A GAN-Augmented CNN Approach for Automated Roadside Safety Assessment of Rural Roadways
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The prevalence of run-off-road crashes, particularly in rural areas, underscores the significance of roadside characteristics in safety analysis. This paper proposes a novel approach for automated roadside safety assessment ...
Efficient Structural Reconnaissance Surveying for Regional Postseismic Damage Inference with Optimal Inspection Scheduling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Accurately estimating the extent of damage after an earthquake requires labor-intensive reconnaissance surveys, which may take months to cover the entire building inventory in an impacted region. This paper provides a ...
A Hybrid Framework for Predicting Crash Severity in Construction Work Zones Using Knowledge Distillation and Conditional GANs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction work zone crashes represent a critical area of concern within the realm of traffic safety, posing unique challenges for both road users and transportation authorities. Common factors contributing to work zone ...
