Abstract: The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has a responsibility for enhancing and assisting the national university-based atmospheric research effort. This responsibility is met partly by programs of research at ...

Abstract: Full and partial transfer results of trip-production models among intercity, intracity, and intraregional locations are reported in this paper. Nineteen models were transferred 208 times among the locations. The variety ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the relative accuracy of alternative forms of trip generation of evacuation traffic. Conventional participation rate, logistic regression, and various forms of neural network models ...

Abstract: In this research, the factors affecting route choice in hurricane evacuation are investigated. Two hypotheses are tested. First, it is hypothesized that contrary to common practice where travel time is considered the sole ...

Abstract: The objective of this research was to develop a procedure that estimates the escalation of highway construction costs over time. An artificial neural network model was developed which relates overall highway construction ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to reveal the trend in highway construction costs following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in Louisiana. The means of measuring highway construction cost was the Louisiana Highway Construction ...

Abstract: The objective of this research was to develop a model that estimates future highway construction costs in Louisiana. The model describes overall highway construction cost in terms of a highway construction cost index. The ...

Abstract: A common travel analysis technique is to ascribe capacities to links in a planning network based on functional classification or facility type, under which a four-lane divided arterial, for example, would be assigned the ...

Abstract: A time-dependent disaggregate destination choice model for evacuees from a hurricane is developed and tested in this paper. Using data from a survey conducted among South Carolina residents following Hurricane Floyd in ...
