Application of Traffic Simulation Modeling for Improved Emergency Preparedness Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Emergency preparedness is vital toward ensuring the safety, security, and efficiency of the transportation system in the event of disasters. To understand the magnitude of the problem and develop effective emergency ...
Evaluation of Roundabout Performance Using SIDRA
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper compares the performance of roundabouts with four leg intersections under yield control, two- and four-way stop control, and signal control for various traffic conditions using the SIDRA package. Such conditions ...
Safety Treatments at Isolated High-Speed Signalized Intersections: Synthesis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High-speed intersections pose a safety and operational challenge. Currently, no specific guidance for treating high-speed intersections exists, particularly in the case of intersections with substantial truck traffic. To ...
Active Warning Systems: Synthesis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Active warning systems are traffic control devices consisting of variable signs or flashing beacons with conventional warning signs, which are activated by sensors detecting real-time roadway, environmental, and operational ...
Technology Evaluation of Hydrogen Light-Duty Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study analyzed candidate hydrogen-fueled vehicles for near and long-term use associated with their efficiency, performance, and emissions. Various types of hydrogen-fueled vehicles were assessed using Argonne National ...
