Current and Future Pavement Maintenance Prioritization Based on Rapid Visual Condition Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Satisfactory maintenance of its highway network is essential for any nation's economic growth. A pavement management system (PMS) formulated according to specific needs and resources of a particular highway maintenance ... -
Unique Accident Trend of Rental Cars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A high accident trend of rental cars is observed. The size of the problem attracted the attention of researchers, officials, and legislators. The goal of this study is to evaluate the problem and to identify possible causes. ... -
Comparison of Two Pavement Rehabilitation Strategies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The main objective of the most recent Mobile Load Simulator (MLS) test program was to conduct a comparative study of two rehabilitation processes, Rehabs A and B, constructed on the south- and northbound lanes of US281 ... -
Reexamining <b><i>C<b>–ϕ Concept for Asphalt Paving Mix Design</b></i></b>
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The study of applying the -
Prediction of Operating Speed on Three-Dimensional Highway Alignments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Achieving consistent geometric design is an important goal in highway design to ensure obtaining safe, economical, and smooth traffic operation. Existing operating speed models for design consistency in North America and ... -
Effect of Vehicles' Suspension on Highway Horizontal Curve Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)From the perspective of vehicles with a suspension system, some conventional highway design criteria do not adhere to vehicle characteristics. In particular, the relationship between minimum radius, superelevation, side ... -
Numerical Methodology in Fatigue Analysis: Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Fatigue behaviors of several different materials are studied by means of a numerical methodology presented in the basic formulation part of the paper. Fatigue crack growth rate and S-N curve are established; fatigue lives ... -
Soil Friction Restraint of Oblique Pipelines in Loose Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper presents the soil friction restraint on oblique pipelines in loose sand. A series of experimental tests are conducted in a prefabricated large-scale drag box with dimensions 1.83 m × 1.83 m × 1.22 m. Model pipes ... -
General Approach to Payment Adjustments for Flexible Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The quest for developing a payment adjustment plan for contractors considering several distress indicators simultaneously is hindered by three issues: (1) different measurement units for the distress indicators; (2) possible ... -
Assessing Variability of In Situ Pavement Material Stiffness Moduli
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper describes research carried out to investigate pavement material-stiffness modulus variability. Detailed pavement surface deflection data were obtained from two sections of newly constructed flexible pavement in ... -
Impacts of Analysis Zone Structures on Modeled Statewide Traffic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Because a statewide transportation planning model covers a much larger area than an urban transportation planning model, land-use inventories and a household survey, which are often used to collect socioeconomic and traffic ... -
Improved User Equilibrium Based Method for Estimating Trip Tables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)An optimal trip table correction function for the user equilibrium based trip table estimation problem is derived and used in place of Turnquist and Gur's heuristic trip table correction function. The derivation of this ... -
Stability and Performance of Car-Following Models in Congested Traffic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Car-following models NETSIM, INTRAS, FRESIM, and CARSIM have been extensively used for simulation of traffic conditions, including congested conditions. The car-following algorithms of these models are well known and ... -
Empirical Freeway Queuing Duration Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)An empirical, three-regime, freeway queuing duration model is developed from a database of 161 observations. The explanatory variable is the ratio of the annual average daily traffic volume to hourly capacity ( -
Experimental Road Dust Measurement Device
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Most unpaved road dust measuring devices have employed one or more of the air sampling techniques used by atmospheric scientists, namely, sedimentation, filtration, and photometric techniques. The dust measurement ... -
Driver Behavior and Traffic Stream Interactions at Unsignalized Intersections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper investigates the quality of traffic service at intersections that are nominally “priority unsignalized” but operate with partial respect for control measures. The operation of such intersections with moderate ... -
Cost-Effectiveness of Joint and Crack Sealing: Synthesis of Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The sealing and resealing of joints and cracks in pavements is assumed to be an important component of pavement maintenance. If performed effectively and timely, sealing may retard pavement deterioration and prolong pavement ... -
Effect of Light-Duty Trucks on the Capacity of Signalized Intersections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper analyzes the impacts of different light-duty trucks (LDTs) on the capacity of signalized intersections. Data were collected at two intersections in Austin, Tex., and regression analysis generated estimates of ... -

Evaluation of the Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Noise Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This report documents a number of issues relative to the Federal Highway Administration's requirement that all state transportation agencies have switched to the Traffic Noise Model by April 1, 2000. The Georgia Department ...
