Bus Maintenance Planning with Computer Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Recently, a great deal of importance has been placed on improving the efficiency of bus transit systems. This is motivated by a recent shift in objectives from those emphasizing expansion of transit systems to those ... -
Erratum: “Node Flow Analysis of Water Distribution Systems” by Pramod R. Bhave (July, 1981)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Modeling of Steel Tube Vehicular Crash Cushion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The energy dissipation characteristics of steel tube clusters are investigated with a view toward using such a system as a stationary energy absorbing device. Experiments performed on small scale models made up by connecting ... -
Carpool Assignment Technique Application
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A technique to determine the usage of carpools on high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes has been developed for the Washington, D.C., region, but can be applied to any metropolitan area. Planning and testing HOV facilities is ... -
Surging in Combined Free Surface‐Pressurized Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Unsteady flow conditions are often encountered in hydraulic systems wherein open channel flow and submerged or pressurized flow conditions may exist simultaneously being separated by a moving interface. Examples of combined ... -
Impact Study of Bus Lanes in Bangkok
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The determination of the impact on bus movements and on passenger car traffic of with‐flow bus lanes have been studied on the selected streets in the central city of Bangkok. License plate technique and classified traffic ... -
Developing Bus Operating Cost Models: A Methodology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This paper presents a methodology for developing transit bus cost models to assist in state‐level subsidy planning. Aggregate and disaggregate unit cost models for 25 bus companies operating in New Jersey are developed and ... -
Hydraulic Resistance of Pavement Surfaces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The determination of Manning's -
Erratum: “Fly Ash Sulfur Concrete” by William J. Head and Min‐Fu Liao (May, 1981)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Optimization of Zonal Transit Service
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A method for optimizing the route structure and scheduling for zonal transit service is developed. It employs calculus or a quasi‐Newton algorithm to minimize a total cost function in which the zonal lengths and headways ... -
Perceived Factors Affecting Driver Route Decisions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)In this study, the route choice reasons of drivers making automobile work trips are analyzed in order to gain an insight into driver's route choice perceptions. Statistical analyses of 32 route choice reasons are carried ... -
Effect of PCC Shoulders on Adjacent Concrete Lanes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A structural evaluation of the Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) shoulder‐traffic lane longitudinal joint has been conducted. The influence of major design variables of PCC shoulder on the adjacent traffic lane through tying ... -
Systematic Calibration of Multinomial Logit Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This paper presents a systematic procedure for calibrating a multinomial logit model through the use of the UTPS computer package developed by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) for the purpose of travel ... -
Pipe‐Jacking: State‐of‐the Art in UK and Europe
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This article considers the development of pipe and box jacking techniques in the UK and Europe. There is particular reference to the installation of large rectangular units to serve as structural foundations for bridges, ... -
Planning Railway Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The problems encountered in the major reconstruction of an active passenger railway are examined. The requirements of the transportation department are for highly controlled construction operations; however, construction ... -
Interactive Graphics Use in Traffic Noise Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Highway noise predictive modeling has evolved dramatically in recent years. Current state‐of‐the‐art models require the extensive use of three dimensional (X,Y,Z) coordinate data to represent roadways, barriers, and ... -
Optimal Strategies for Bridge Replacement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A method for replacing undersized bridges under limited budgets for a specified planning horizon has been developed and applied to the agricultural area of Young America, Illinois. The period of the planning horizon are ... -
Pedestrian Flow and Level of Service
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This study analyzed properties and characteristics of pedestrian flow on sidewalks. Data were collected in the central business district of Haifa, Israel, with the aid of a videotape recorder and a digital clock. Walking ... -
Bus Priority Strategy: Justification and Environmental Aspects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The benefits and costs of implementing a bus preemption system at isolated intersections and at intersections forming an open arterial network were investigated. Trade‐off analyses were performed on measures of road user ... -
