Integration and Evaluation of Forecast-Informed Multiobjective Reservoir Operations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Incorporating streamflow forecasts into reservoir operations can improve water resources management efficiency, yet the forecast value in multipurpose reservoir systems is rarely investigated, let alone the relationship ...
Multicriteria Decision-Making Model of Reservoir Operation Considering Balanced Applicability in Past and Future: Application to the Three Gorges Reservoir
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Motivated by the emerging need for long-term and sustainable reservoir management, this paper developed a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model of reservoir operation with consideration of balanced applicability in ...
Quantifying Significance of Young Traveler Characteristics in Travel Mode Choices Impacted by E-Hailing Services
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Traditional travel modes have been slowly losing their market share to e-hailing services, especially among younger generations. This paper examines characteristics of young travelers’ travel mode choice, with various ...
Sensitivity of Forecast Value in Multiobjective Reservoir Operation to Forecast Lead Time and Reservoir Characteristics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Streamflow forecasts can be used to improve reservoir operation decision-making, yet the sensitivity of forecast value to forecast lead time and reservoir characteristics in multiobjective reservoir operations is rarely ...
Preparation and Characterization of a Novel Self-Healing Polyurethane-Modified Asphalt Based on Dynamic Disulfide Bond
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Asphalt pavement will crack under the action of traffic load and harsh environment, and the cracks can be repaired by the self-healing properties of asphalt itself, but the healing efficiency is lower. This study developed ...
Development of a VISSIM Simulation Model for U-Turns at Unsignalized Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The simulation of U-turns is currently of great interest to many transportation professionals due to the widespread use of indirect driveway left-turn treatments. In this study, a procedure was proposed to help transportation ...
Analysis of Crash Risks by Collision Type at Freeway Diverge Area Using Multivariate Modeling Technique
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Crashes present different collision types at freeway diverge areas. The research reported in this paper applies the multivariate modeling technique to evaluate the crash risks by collision type. Three years crash data are ...
Effects of Left-Turn Waiting Areas on Capacity and Level of Service of Signalized Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Transportation professionals in China have started using an unconventional left-turn waiting area design as an innovative approach to mitigate traffic congestion at signalized intersections. The waiting area is set up ...
Design Flood Hydrograph Based on Multicharacteristic Synthesis Index Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flood events consist of flood peaks and flood volumes for various durations that are mutually correlated and need to be described by multiple variables. Conventional flood frequency analysis methods are generally based on ...
Reservoir Storage Curve Estimation Based on Remote Sensing Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A reservoir is one of the most efficient measures for integrated water resources development and management. The reservoir storage curve is a vital parameter for multipurpose reservoir operation and its precision is a key ...
