Identifying Precrash Factors for Cars and Trucks on Interstate Highways: Mixed Logit Model Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research investigates the factors that lead to three manners of collision (namely, rear-end, angle, and sideswipe) that occurred in the same direction of multilane interstate highways. Mixed logit (MXL) models were ...
Allocation of Student Parking Permits across a University Campus Based on Course Registration and Schedule
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Most universities manage student parking demand by grouping parking lots into zones and selling as many parking permits as possible by the zones. This paper describes this problem as the university student parking permit ...
Logit-Based Stochastic User Equilibrium Problem for Entry-Exit Toll Schemes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a logit-based stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) problem for networks with entry-exit toll schemes that result in nonadditive path costs. First, it develops a strictly convex minimization model in terms ...
Scheduling of Lane Closures Using Genetic Algorithms with Traffic Assignments and Distributed Simulations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In past research, several versions of hybrid genetic algorithm–simulation methodology have been proposed for scheduling of multiple lane closures that aims to minimize a network’s total traffic delay. The genetic algorithm ...
Multiobjective Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problem with Time Window Constraints in Hazardous Material Transportation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel vehicle routing and scheduling problem in transporting hazardous materials for networks with multiple time-varying attributes. It actually aims to identify all nondominated time-varying paths ...
Simulation Evaluation of Route-Based Control of Bus Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, results of an evaluation of an innovative strategy for minimizing bus bunching are presented. The strategy involves continuous monitoring of bus positions along their route and controlling bus spacing when ...
Estimating Total Distance for Hauling Import and Export Containers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a planning model to estimate the total distance traveled by prime movers in transporting import and export containers between a port, warehouses, and container yards. The total distance includes the ...
Microscopic Traffic Simulation Model-Based Optimization Approach for the Contraflow Lane Configuration Problem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the optimal contraflow lane configuration problem arising in the contraflow lane control strategy that has been implemented successfully in practice. The problem is formulated as a bilevel programming ...
Calibration-Free Arterial Link Speed Estimation Model Using Loop Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a calibration-free model to estimate the average speed of moving vehicles in a link, from the upstream intersection until 40–60 m from the downstream intersection's stop line. The proposed model calculates ...
Estimating Total Demand and Benchmarking Base Price for Student Parking on University Campuses
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Most universities limit the number of student parking permits and use their prices to moderate the parking demand. Two critical inputs for implementing such a practice are: (1) the total demand (number of students who ...
