Required Stopping Sight Distance on Crest Vertical Curves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Required stopping sight distance (SSD), used to calculate the minimum rate of vertical curvature or the minimum length of a crest vertical curve (CVC), is usually calculated on the assumption that the grade of the braking ... -
Ground-Penetrating Radar for Cold In-Place Recycled Road Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Grain transportation rationalization, economic diversification, and value-added initiatives within the Saskatchewan economy has increased, and will continue to increase, commercial truck traffic on many Saskatchewan roads. ... -
Simulation of Road Surface Profiles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper presents a novel technique for the simulation of shock and vibrations related to road surface irregularities. The technique is based on a recently developed universal road profile classification scheme, which ... -

Airfields and Roads Construction Using Fiber Stabilization of Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper describes laboratory and field tests conducted using a new fiber stabilization technique for sands. Laboratory unconfined compression tests using 51 mm long monofilament polypropylene fibers to stabilize a poorly ... -
Dumb Access Management Tricks, and How to Avoid Them
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001) -
Allocation of Buses on Interdependent Regional Bus Transit Routes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)In this paper, a two-stage heuristic approach is presented for the allocation of buses to regional transit bus routes. In the first stage, bus frequencies required to handle peak link demand on each route are worked out. ... -

Model for Determining Optimum Bus-Stop Spacingin Urban Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper proposes a model that can be used to determine effectively a sub-optimal policy for bus-stop spacing in urban areas. Transit users are usually interested in minimizing their out-of-vehicle travel time. Conversely, ... -
Genetic Algorithm Approach for Transit Route Planning and Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The problem of determining an optimal feeder bus route, feeding a major intermodal transfer station (or a central business district), in a service area is considered. Subject to geographic, capacity, and budget constraints, ... -
Contribution to the Development of Guidelines for Toll Plaza Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Increased design, construction, and operation of toll facilities are trends in the United States. Few toll plaza design guidelines exist and proper and safe toll plaza design is even more critical with the implementation ... -
Estimating Technical and Scale Inefficiencies of Public Transit Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Several evaluation standards and performance indicators have been developed to determine transit performance at a system, regional, or national level. Performance indicators that are traditionally used to evaluate transit ... -
Regional and Area-Type Modeling of Peak Spreading on Connecticut Freeways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Predicting accurate peak-hour traffic volumes has become increasingly important; these volumes are being used for quantitative analysis; for determining benefits of highway improvements; and for estimating pollutant emission ... -
Optimal Work Zone Lengths for Four-Lane Highways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Highway pavement maintenance is very expensive not only in terms of costs to the responsible agencies but also in terms of disruptive delays to users. Construction and maintenance activities on four-lane highways (with two ... -
Risk and Impact of Natural Hazards on a Road Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper describes a study to investigate hazards with the potential to close the Desert Road section of New Zealand's major north-south road link, State Highway 1. The risks caused by snow and ice, volcanic eruptions ... -
Pavement Design in Takalimakan Desert
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The design method for pavements in the Takalimakan desert was proposed through the investigation of test roads and theoretical analysis. The function of geotextile in pavement structures is analyzed by the shear lag model, ... -
Evaluation of Roundabout Performance Using SIDRA
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper compares the performance of roundabouts with four leg intersections under yield control, two- and four-way stop control, and signal control for various traffic conditions using the SIDRA package. Such conditions ... -
Evaluating Safety of Urban Arterial Roadways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper describes the development of accident prediction models for estimating the safety performance of urban arterial roadways in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia, Canada. The traffic- and ... -
Effects of Fuel Price Increase in Nigeria on Travel Expenditures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The effects of the October 1994 gasoline price increase in Nigeria on urban travel expenditures are examined. Results show that, although the established inverse relationship between travel money expenditure and income has ... -
Modeling Indirect Statistics of Surface Roughness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Quarter-car model-based indirect statistics of road surface roughness are analyzed in this paper. The stochastic process theory is used to establish the relationship between the international roughness index (
