Abstract: Investigated in this technical note is the yearly variation of directional distribution of traffic on rural highways. A total of 60 sites located in the province of Alberta, Canada, are investigated. Two measures of ...

Abstract: The objective of the present work is to study theoretically the influence of wear on the performance of four-pocket capillary-compensated hydrostatic journal bearing operating with micropolar ...

Abstract: The objective of the present paper is to study analytically the influence of wear on the performance of a capillary-compensated, four-pocket, hybrid journal bearing system operating in a turbulent ...

Abstract: Described in this paper is the development and calibration of a proposed model for estimating the cost of comfort and convenience related to driving on two‐lane highways. The starting point for the model presented here was ...

Abstract: The investigation presented in this paper considers the temporal and spatial characteristics of directional distribution of traffic on rural highways. A total of 60 highway locations, representing a wide range of traffic‐stream ...

Abstract: Presented in this paper is an investigation of areawide seasonal traffic counts (STC) that are undertaken by all state highway agencies throughout the United States and in several other countries. The current practice of ...

Abstract: The present investigation considers the prediction of the design hour volume from users' perspective. [The design hour volume concept from users' perspective was introduced in an earlier paper (Sharma 1986), which concluded ...
