Schedule-Based Rail Transit Path-Choice Estimation using Automatic Fare Collection Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents a schedule-based passenger’s path-choice estimation model for a multioperator rail transit network, using automatic fare collection (AFC) data from both entry and exit stations. By introducing the train ... -
Estimating Truck Aggressiveness Using a Multilinear Fatigue Model and a Viscoelastic Pavement Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)To increase freight efficiency, trucks are allowed to transport heavier loads without adding extra axles. The impact of this practice on infrastructure damage needs to be evaluated. This involves evaluating the fatigue ... -
Existing Bridge Formulas for Truck-Weight Regulation from International Jurisdictions and Resulting Load Stresses on Single-Span Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper identifies and characterizes existing bridge formulas from international regions and presents the results of an analysis of the allowable gross vehicle weights and bridge load stress effects on single-span bridges ... -
Alternative Information Signs: Evaluation of Driver Comprehension and Visual Attention
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The effectiveness of a traffic sign is collectively influenced by the sign’s understandability, legibility distance, glance legibility, and learnability; however, understandability has been repeatedly identified as one of ... -
Enabling Network-Wide Tolling-Strategy Assessment via Customized Route-Choice Simulation Module
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Tolling has been one of the most effective countermeasures against traffic congestion in metropolitan areas. Prior to the implementation of a tolling strategy, it was necessary to systematically evaluate the toll impacts ... -
Case Study of an Alternative Merging Sign Design for Temporary Traffic Control in Work Zones
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Signage plays an important role in work zones to provide guidance to drivers under changed conditions. This study investigated the safety effect of an alternative merge sign configuration in a freeway work zone. In this ... -
Field Evaluations of an Adaptive Traffic Signal—Using Private-Sector Probe Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study evaluated the in-service performance of the InSync adaptive signal control (ASC) system utilizing field data collected from the private sector travel time vendor INRIX. A total of six corridors in Virginia were ... -
Empirical Study of Lane-Changing Characteristics on High-Occupancy-Vehicle Facilities with Different Types of Access Control Based on Aerial Survey Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Research on lane-changing behavior has been active for decades because of its significant impact on traffic operations. Most of the existing studies focus on generic weaving sections (e.g., on-ramps), and very few of ... -
Effect of Red-Light Cameras on Capacity of Signalized Intersections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Red light running (RLR) is one of the most common violations drivers commit at signalized intersections. To avoid RLR violations, some drivers may decide to stop abruptly, even though they had the opportunity to cross the ... -
Enhanced Decision-Making Framework Using Reliability Concepts for Freeway Facilities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents a decision-making framework based on a travel time reliability methodology developed under the U.S. Strategic Highway Research Program. Existing methods consider a set of predefined prevailing conditions ... -
Intersection Control Considering Channelized Section Spillback Using a Flexible Phase Plan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Large-scale traffic congestion often develops from local long queue in single intersections, accompanied by spillover. Current traffic control methods neglect the spillover effect, which may be one reason for the low ... -
Impact of Speed Limits and Road Characteristics on Free-Flow Speed in Urban Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The paper documents studies of posted speed limit (PSL) changes on the free-flow speed on urban roads. Before and after field measurements were conducted, changing the existing PSL from 50 to 40 or 60 km/h. The analysis ... -
Lane-Distribution Models and Related Effects on the Capacity for a Three-Lane Freeway Section: Case Study in Italy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Traffic flow, its characteristics, and road quality service are usually estimated by using aggregated and averaged data from multiple lanes; however, in real experiences, there is significant variability in traffic-flow ... -
Design Guidelines for Symmetrical Single-Lane Roundabouts Based on Intersection Sight Distance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Checking roundabout sight distance is currently performed graphically. This paper develops analytical models for lateral clearance at symmetrical single-lane roundabouts based on intersection sight distance (ISD) and ... -
