Abstract: A safety performance function (SPF) is a statistical equation to predict the expected crash frequency for a certain roadway facility, mainly as a function of traffic exposure indicators. Roadway characteristics, such as ...

Abstract: Recent research shows that shear walls with corrugated steel sheathing demonstrate high strength and high initial stiffness but low ductility. This paper presents an experimental study and numerical simulation aimed at ...

Abstract: Even though 30% of the annual highway fatalities originate from inferior roadway conditions, crash costs under regular operations have seldomly been included in the life cycle cost analysis (LCCA). Among the various condition ...

Abstract: Pavement friction and surface texture are crucial for highway safety. Acknowledging the gaps in understanding the relationship between pavement surface friction and texture, this paper introduces a novel deep residual ...
