Parking Infrastructure Location Design and User Pricing in the Prospective Era of Autonomous Vehicle Operations
(ASCE, 8/4/2023 1)The lack of parking infrastructure continues to pose a problem for urban commuters, as the parking demand in most cities outstrips supply and significant driver time is expended searching for parking. The emergence of ... -
An In-Depth Econometric Analysis of Pavement Performance and Service Life by Pavement Rehabilitation Treatment Type and Delivery Method
(ASCE, 7/27/2023 )This paper delivers a detailed statistical assessment of pavement rehabilitation treatments by delivery methods via studying their performance in terms of pavement indicators (international roughness index, rutting depth, ... -
Investigation on the Dynamic Characteristics of Track Slab with the Influence of Rail Corrugation
(ASCE, 5/23/2023 )Rail corrugation, a common defect of rails, causes a high frequency self-oscillation effect in track slabs when there is an external load. In order to analyze the influence of multi-scales of rail corrugation on the dynamic ... -
Optimal Repair Policies for Infrastructure Systems with Life Cycle Cost Minimization and Annual Cost Leveling
(ASCE, 6/27/2023 )One of the goals of infrastructure asset management research is to find appropriate repair policies for infrastructure systems. The annual repair cost of the system may vary when a repair policy meant only to minimize life ... -
Applying Machine Vision Algorithm on Pavement Marking Retroreflectivity Measurement
(ASCE, 8/10/2023 )This preliminary study presents the development of integrating a real-time mobile device with a machine vision algorithm to assess the retroreflectivity of the broken lane lines of in-service road marking. A stereo camera ... -
The Mediating Role of Infrastructure Vulnerability on the Political Risk of Foreign Infrastructure Investment in Developing Countries: Insights from Brazil and China
(ASCE, 5/22/2023 )Foreign infrastructure investment (FII) is essential to the economic growth of developing countries. However, developing countries are prone to higher levels of political risk, which act as detractors to such investment. ... -
Resilience Assessment for Streamline Network of Transportation Hub Complex Based on Service Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/06/01)A resilient transportation hub complex affected by a disturbance can maintain minimum performance and rapidly resume operations, while dealing with growing service demands imposed by the unfolding disturbance management. ... -
Key Decision-Making Factors Influencing Bundling Strategies: Analysis of Bundled Infrastructure Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/06/01)Project bundling is the process of awarding a single contract to several infrastructure projects to address construction, rehabilitation, replacement, or maintenance needs. This novel approach has presented several benefits ... -
Automated Bridge Crack Detection Based on Improving Encoder–Decoder Network and Strip Pooling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/06/01)The detection of bridge cracks is an important task in bridge maintenance. It can also reflect the health of the bridge. However, cracks are usually in the form of strips, which are different from the concrete surface. ... -
