Evaluation of a Signalized Intersection with Hook Turns under Traffic Actuated Control Circumstance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Right-turning vehicles (in countries where vehicles driving on the left-hand-side of the road, e.g., UK, Australia) have large impacts to the operation of intersections. This paper focuses on a traffic maneuver for ...
Characteristic Analysis and Prediction of Traffic Accidents in the Multiethnic Plateau Mountain Area
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper analyzes the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of traffic accidents in the multiethnic-gathering plateau mountain area. Using data from an investigation of 56,651 accident records in Guiyang, ...
Estimation of Joint Activity–Travel Benefit with Metro Smart Card Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the rapid development of information and telecommunication technology, joint activity–travel constitutes an ever-increasing share of an individual’s daily activity–travel pattern. In recent years, joint activity–travel ...
Cyclic Load Behavior of Concrete‐Filled Tubular Braces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cyclic load behavior of concrete‐filled rectangular steel tubular bracing members is investigated. Nine full‐scale specimens made from A500 Grade B cold‐formed steel tubes were tested under quasi‐static cyclic loading. The ...
Performance Evaluation of Bus Routes Using Automatic Vehicle Location Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Integrating Bus Priority and Presignal Method at Signalized Intersection: Algorithm Development and Evaluation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Bus signal priority (BSP) is an effective strategy to enhance the quality of public transit service, but unfortunately, it also deteriorates the performance of general vehicles. However, the tandem intersection with midblock ...
Estimating Sectional Volume of Travelers Based on Mobile Phone Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The sectional volume of travelers refers to the number of travelers crossing a section boundary (e.g., river, mountain, railway line, etc.) within a certain time period. Mobile phone data provides continuous and ...
Weibull Distribution-Based Neural Network for Stochastic Capacity Estimation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Capacity is an important traffic parameter, extending nonnegligible influence on road network planning, traffic management, and traffic state prediction. The stochasticity of capacity is widely accepted considering the ...
When to Charge a Small-Range Battery Electric Vehicle: Refining Charging Strategies Using a Scenario-Based Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Small-range battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with driving ranges less than 200 km, are susceptible to charging defects. This study applied a scenario-based approach by modeling a cost function to recommend an optimal ...
Robust Optimization Model of Bus Transit Network Design with Stochastic Travel Time
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design of urban bus transit systems aims to determine a network configuration with a set of bus lines and associated frequencies that achieve the targeted objective. This paper presents a methodology framework to ...
