Abstract: This study presents an urban transportation simulation model for lifecycle environmental performance evaluation (ALENT). ALENT integrates geographic information to quantify stations’ accessibility levels and construct ...

Abstract: Deteriorating and at-risk infrastructure assets should be maintained at acceptable conditions by asset management systems (AMSs) to ensure the safety and welfare of communities. Project-level AMSs have been proposed to ...

Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently been adopted by infrastructure asset management (IAM) researchers for adding flexibility regarding uncertainties in preventive actions decision-making. However, this relatively ...

Abstract: The spread of airborne infectious diseases has largely been driven by superspreading events, in which a single individual directly infects several contacts. Superspreading events that occurred at several construction sites ...

Abstract: While the literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been growing, there is still a limited understanding of the connection between CSR reporting and corporate misconduct, especially in cases where the ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is to identify and classify the factors affecting the expatriation willingness (EW) of engineering consulting company employees. A total of 13 EW impact factors are summarized from a review ...

Abstract: The insufficiency of continued nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and ongoing vaccination programs continues to pose challenges in recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Before herd immunity, controlling at-risk and ...
