Abstract: Data-driven traffic modeling is revolutionizing transportation systems and provides numerous opportunities for achieving high-quality transportation services. A major challenge in optimizing transportation systems is ...

Abstract: Extremely hot and humid environments are common in numerous occupational settings. Construction work is tough and physically demanding, and the difficulty is exacerbated by the hot and humid weather of tropical and subtropical ...

Abstract: A significant body of literature has been dedicated to research studies on construction labor productivity (CLP) and related issues, and many underlying theories and industrial practices on CLP application have been reported. ...

Abstract: Construction management (CM) as an applied academic discipline has a dual mission of creating scientific knowledge and solving practical problems. To do this, proper research approaches are required. Traditionally, CM ...

Abstract: The temporal effect of hydrograph on local scour depth is investigated under clear-water scour condition. By analyzing the characteristics of scour-depth evolutions at bridge piers for different rising hydrographs, a ...

Abstract: Experiments of bridge pier scour are carried out under steady and unsteady clear-water scour conditions with uniform and nonuniform sediments. Around the pier nose, the sediment size variation of surface bed materials is ...

Abstract: Adsorption on activated carbon of organic compounds from a particle-free and low temperature gas stream has been investigated previously. However, the adsorption processes in a fluidized bed adsorber of particles interfacing ...

Abstract: The lack of multistakeholder cooperation is one of the main challenges faced by emergency medical services (EMS). Especially in the ambulance routing process, inactive traffic operators fail to provide coordination to ...
