Conceptual Framework for the Performance Measurement of Public-Private Partnerships
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been used widely to deliver economic and social infrastructure projects. There has been widespread debate about the factors that contribute to their success and failure. Critical to ... -
Identifying Rehabilitation Options for Optimum Improvement in Municipal Asset Condition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Sustainability in municipal services calls for a comprehensive asset management approach that balances between the needs of a growing portfolio of aging infrastructure and the increased demand(s) arising from new growth—all ... -
Improving Performance of Genetic Algorithms for Transportation Systems: Case of Parallel Genetic Algorithms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Genetic algorithms (GAs) can be the tool of choice especially for optimizing combinatorial and complex problems in transport and infrastructure systems such as traffic signal control, pavement rehabilitation and design, ... -
Sustainability, Resiliency, and Grid Stability of the Coupled Electricity and Transportation Infrastructures: Case for an Integrated Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Electrified vehicles (EVs) couple transportation and electrical infrastructures, impacting vehicle sustainability, transportation resiliency, and electrical grid stability. These impacts occur across timescales; grid ... -
Green Infrastructure for Highway Stormwater Management: Field Investigation for Future Design, Maintenance, and Management Needs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Many types of structural stormwater best management practice (BMP) have been employed since the late 1990s in the hope of mitigating the impervious surface hydrology (indicated by, e.g., high runoff volume and peak flow ... -
Cost and Environmental Evaluation of Flexible Strategies for a Highway Construction Project under Traffic Growth Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Uncertainty about the scale of future demand presents a challenge for infrastructure design. The attraction of flexible strategies, incorporating upgrade options that can be exercised when and if required, has been recognized ... -
Estimating Construction Contingency: Accommodating the Potential for Cost Overruns in Road Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The determination of a project’s cost contingency is a pervasive problem as the amount that is incorporated into an estimate is invariably insufficient to accommodate a project’s actual cost overrun. The cost overruns ... -
Use of a Self-Organizing Map for Crack Detection in Highly Textured Pavement Images
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A study on using an unsupervised learning technique, called a self-organizing map (SOM) or Kohonen map, for the detection of road cracks from pavement images is described in this paper. The main focus is on highly textured ... -
Pavement Maintenance Planning at the Network Level with Principal Component Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Pavement management relies on the evaluation of the condition of pavement at different times during the life of the structure. The combination of condition indicators and the knowledge of how they are used in any pavement ... -
Integrating GIS and AHP to Prioritize Transportation Infrastructure Using Sustainability Metrics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)As the risk of climate change continues, the need for transportation adaptation planning increases. Decisions regarding development (or redevelopment) of transportation systems, specifically transit facilities, have an ... -
Impact of Road Conditions and Disruption Uncertainties on Network Vulnerability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Researchers have studied the vulnerability of roadway systems to disasters, such as terrorist attacks or natural disasters. However, the literature has not explicitly addressed other factors, such as infrastructure condition, ...
