NO2 Exposure from Vehicles and Gas Stoves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Estimates of health impacts of reduced -
Overview of Skid Resistance on Ohio Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Results of an overview of about 30,000 skid numbers from state highway pavements throughout Ohio are described. Traffic volumes and aggregate types are strongly associated with mean skid numbers within a county. County ... -
Planning Development with Transit Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)One of the principal objectives of a transit project is to stimulate economic development. It is desirable to have early involvement of private sector developers in the transit planning process. However, the private sector ... -
Generating a Bus Route O‐D Matrix From on‐off Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The accuracy of route origin‐destination estimates generated from boarding‐alighting data was tested against actual origin‐destination data. The estimates of trip length distributions and origin‐destination matrices did ... -
Dynamics of Falling Weight Deflectometer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)An elastodynamic analysis of pavement response to Falling Weight Deflectometer blows is presented. The analysis is based on a Fourier synthesis of a solution for periodic loading of elastic or viscoelastic horizontally ... -
Ranking Low Guardrail Sites for Remedial Treatment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A scoring procedure has been developed for prioritizing low guardrail sites for remedial treatment. The relative hazard of individual guardrail sections is estimated based on traffic volume and speed, roadway curvature, ... -
Safe Conversions of Unwarranted Multi‐Way Stop Signs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)There has been an increasing use of multi‐way stop control at urban intersections within the last few decades. Use of multi‐way stop signs where not warranted results in adverse safety, economic, operational, environmental, ... -
Vehicle Flow Characteristics on Acceleration Lanes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The purpose of this study was to investigate flow characteristics on acceleration lanes. Four acceleration lanes in Israel, which were videotaped, provided the data. Three separate analyses were conducted: the locational ... -
Leakage from Ruptured Submarine Oil Pipeline
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The rupture of a submarine oil pipeline gives rise to various mechanisms leading to an oil spill. Among these mechanisms, the leakage of oil driven by the difference in specific gravities of oil and seawater is difficult ... -
Comparison of Two Rigid Pavement Design Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A comparison of the design thickness of rigid pavement slabs as determined by the AASHTO and PCA methods is presented. The comparison is given for a wide range of truck volumes and axle weights to represent the loadings ... -
Multi‐Attribute Utility in Pavement Rehabilitation Decisions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Priority ranking of pavements for rehabilitation is currently based on benefit‐cost analyses and sufficiency ratings in most states. These methods either neglect social factors or assign them dollar values on a linear ... -
Urban Transportation Impacts of Tall Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Large cities in all parts of the United States are experiencing large development and redevelopment projects in their downtown areas. Regardless of the land‐use activities involved, the maintenance of basic levels of ... -
Kinematic‐Wave Method for Peak Runoff Estimates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A set of algebraic equations to determine the design discharge for highway culverts is proposed. The kinematic‐wave theory and the concepts underlying the commonly used rational method are adopted to derive these design ... -
Red Turn Arrow: An Information Theoretic Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)An information‐theoretic statistical procedure for the analysis of categorical or qualitative variables or count data not necessarily arrayed in a multi‐way cross‐classification or contingency table is presented. This ... -

Consistency in Design for Low‐Volume Rural Roads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The 2,000,000 miles of low‐volume rural roads in the United States are different than the high‐volume roads and should be designed differently. Traffic volumes on them are low, averaging about 110 vehicles/day or about one ... -
Performance Measures for New York State Intercity Buses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)This paper examines the applicability of intracity bus performance evaluation measures to intercity performance evaluation in the state of New York. Intercity performance analysis in the state is receiving greater attention ... -
An Analytical Method of Traffic Flow Using Aerial Photographs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The outline and results of an aerial traffic survey of an 800‐m section of the Hanshin Expressway are described. The objectives of the study were to record congested traffic flow and to determine its causes. Traffic in the ... -
Speed (Road) Bumps: Issues and Opinions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Speed (road) bumps are controversial. Despite their effectiveness as a speed deterrent device, the use has not been widespread in the United States. A majority of traffic professionals are strongly opposed to the use of ...
