Abstract: A method is presented by which traffic flow estimation between known origins and destinations can be evaluated based on a modified entropy model, and by which bus-routing optimization can be performed. The traffic flow ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented for the reliability assessment of urban water distribution networks (UWDN) on the basis of component analysis, network topology, and—most importantly—survival analysis to include the effects of ...

Abstract: As the need to better manage scarce water resources and water distribution systems increases, the problem of efficient routing of piping networks is gaining importance within the framework of an overall strategy for improving ...

Abstract: Roadway pavement maintenance to the preferred level of serviceability comprises one of the most challenging problems faced by civil and transportation engineers, with regard to transport infrastructure management. This ...

Abstract: Pavement management systems aim to secure roadways functionality and vehicle passengers’ safety by proposing strategies for pavement assessment and maintenance. However, transportation departments lack accurate, low-cost, ...
