RISInfluence of Restricted Sight Distances on Permitted Left-Turn Operation at Signalized Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Adequate sight distance is an important factor needed to provide safe and efficient operation of left-turn movements at signalized intersections. This factor becomes more crucial for left turners attempting this maneuver ...

Arizona Freight Network Evaluation Using Decision Support System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Since highway freight transportation is recognized as an important part of the overall transportation scenario, planning initiatives are needed at the state level to ensure adequacy and efficient performance of its freight ...
Comparative Assessment of 1985 HCM Delay Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Delay is an important measure of effectiveness in traffic studies; it represents the direct cost of fuel consumption and indirect cost of time loss to motorists. The 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) used delay as the ...
A Computational Study of Design Team Robustness Through the Lens of Cognitive Style
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: High-performing design teams are characterized by their ability to maintain performance across a variety of problem types. This is often referred to as robustness, and is usually achieved through careful management of team ...
Critical Issues in Safe Transport of Hazardous Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The growing volume of hazardous‐materials shipments and the potential consequences of a materials release have raised public concern and scrutiny over the safe handling and transport of hazardous cargo. This has prompted ...
Geometric Models to Calculate Left-Turn Sight Distance for Signalized Intersections on Horizontal Curves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At signalized intersections where protected left turn signals are not provided, simultaneous opposing left-turn vehicles may cause insufficient sight distance for each other. There is a lack of literature presenting left-turn ...
Calibration and Verification of SHAKER, a Deterministic Toll Plaza Simulation Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A great deal of research has been conducted on Central Florida toll roads to better understand the characteristics of the tolling operation. In this paper, the use of the toll plaza queuing model SHAKER is calibrated to ...
Empirical Analysis of Toll-Lane Processing Times Using Proportional Odds Augmented MARS
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large deal of research has been conducted on toll roads to better comprehend the characteristics of the tolling operations. Several researchers indicated that toll-lane processing time (or service time) is the most ...
Methodology SHAKER and the Capacity Analysis of Five Toll Plazas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modeling traffic at toll collection facilities can assist in computing plaza capacity and performance. It may help planners and operators decide on which lane configurations are appropriate for specific hourly approach ...
