Abstract: Finding an optimal investment strategy to use scarce resources efficiently is challenging, since the transportation network parameters such as demand, capacity, and travel cost are uncertain. Sequencing investments over ...

Abstract: Lane management is expected to alleviate traffic congestion and improve mobility on roadways. Previous studies have mainly analyzed the impacts of lane management on the road segment rather than the road network. Because ...

Abstract: Inferences on hurricane evacuation behavior are usually drawn through developing empirical models. These models are estimated using data that are specific to a given hurricane context. One important issue, therefore, is ...

Abstract: The rapid increase in both financial demands and the need for large and comprehensive highway infrastructure systems necessitates public authorities to muster support from the private sector. Public-private partnerships ...

Abstract: Conventional transportation network design problems treat origin-destination (OD) demand as fixed, which may not be true in reality. Some recent studies model fluctuations in OD demand by considering the first and the ...

Abstract: Most mesoscopic and microscopic traffic simulation studies require the road network under analysis to be detailed at the lane level. Lane-based network representation models could serve as a more realistic platform to ...

Abstract: Hurricanes are one of the most costly natural disasters in the United States and have increased in frequency in the last few years. The critical role of evacuation, particularly for the vulnerable communities, has been ...

Abstract: This paper explains a modeling approach that offers better understanding of the routing strategies taken by evacuees to reach a safe destination during hurricane evacuation. Route choice during evacuation is a complex ...
