Abstract: The Highway Capacity Manual (2000) states that the capacity of a two-lane rural highway under ideal conditions is 3200 passenger car unit per hour for both directions combined. The ideal conditions as given in the manual ...

Abstract: Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) has gained lot of interest among researchers and highway engineers in recent years because of the environmental and financial benefits associated with lower production temperatures. However, there ...

Abstract: Granite and marble dust from the stone industry and fly ash from thermal power plants are waste products that are produced in large quantities in India. The physical properties of these materials meet the requirements laid ...

Abstract: Mixed traffic flow is often converted to equivalent flow in passenger car units (PCUs) by multiplying the number of each category of vehicles in the traffic stream by their respective PCU factors and then adding them up. ...

Abstract: A new concept to estimate the passenger car unit (PCU) of different types of vehicles under mixed traffic conditions is presented. It utilizes the area, as opposed to only the length, and speed of a vehicle. Data were ...

Abstract: During the amber phase at signalized intersections, many drivers often face a dilemma when deciding whether to stop or go. This indecisiveness has significant safety issues; hence, predicting a driver’s decision, evaluating ...

Abstract: Two continuous statistical distribution models, gamma and lognormal, are proposed for desired time gap

Abstract: Fly ashes were collected from 14 thermal power stations located in different parts of India and were characterized using simple tests like fineness modulus, specific gravity, Rigden voids, German filler test and methylene ...

Abstract: California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and static and cyclic triaxial tests were conducted on the four most frequently encountered local materials—fly ash, coarse sand, stone dust, and river bed material (RBM)—for their use in the ...

Abstract: Pedestrians walk differently on different types of facilities. Walking speeds are governed not only by the width of the facility but also by age and gender, land uses, temporal variations, cell phone usage, carrying baggage ...
