Critical Behavioral Assumptions in Evacuation Time Estimate Analysis for Private Vehicles: Examples from Hurricane Research and Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)The computation of evacuation time estimates (ETEs) for communities threatened by hurricanes requires analysts to develop sophisticated models of evacuation flows and significant progress has been made in this area over ... -
Simulation and Analysis of Freeway Lane Reversal for Coastal Hurricane Evacuation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Following the unprecedented multistate evacuation for Hurricane Floyd in 1999, the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety jointly developed a lane reversal plan ... -
Satellite Monitoring of Urban Spatial Growth in the Amman Area, Jordan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The detection and analysis of land use changes in the urban environment is an important issue in planning. Remote sensing and geographic information systems are considered as the most efficient techniques for this type of ... -
Supply Chain Simulation Modeling for the Manufactured Housing Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Communication, visibility, and control of materials across the supply chain are necessary components for an efficient supply chain management system. However, the current supply chain management system in the manufactured ... -
Fund Allocation for Transportation Network Recovery Following Natural Disasters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Urban transportation infrastructure networks are highly sensitive to natural disasters yet critical for the success of rescue, recovery and renovation operations; as such, prompt restoration of such networks becomes of ... -
CBD Oriented Commuters’ Mode and Residential Location Choices in an Urban Area with Surface Streets and Rail Transit Lines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This study formulates a commuters’ mode and route choice model as well as a households’ residential choice model on a two-dimensional space. The commuters’ mode and route choice model assumes that commuters select the mode ... -
Transportation Activity Centers for Urban Transportation Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)North American cities have been evolving from monocentric to polycentric metropolitan regions, with multiple concentrations of activities occurring outside of traditional urban cores. This new urban structure, with multiple ... -
Application of Traffic Simulation Modeling for Improved Emergency Preparedness Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Emergency preparedness is vital toward ensuring the safety, security, and efficiency of the transportation system in the event of disasters. To understand the magnitude of the problem and develop effective emergency ... -
Model Reference Adaptive Control Framework for Real-Time Traffic Management under Emergency Evacuation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Recent natural or man-made disasters around the world have provided compelling evidence that transportation system plays a crucial role in the emergency evacuation and have stressed the need for effective evacuation traffic ... -
Customizing Visualization in Three-Dimensional Urban GIS via Web-Based Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This paper presents our research results of visualizing three–dimensional (3D) city models in a web explorer environment under the supports of the digital building model, the digital terrain model, large-scale true urban ... -
Modeling Network Traffic for Planning Applications in a Small Community
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)A procedure is developed to model network traffic for planning applications in small and/or medium-sized communities with limited planning resources. The proposed method is based on the theories and assumptions of conventional ... -
Analyzing the Impacts of Microscale Urban Attributes on Travel: Evidence from Suburban Adelaide, Australia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Metropolitan Adelaide in Australia is dominated by low-density suburbs with an extensive and large road supply, which brings with it car-dependent lifestyles that are ultimately unsustainable in the longer term. Changes ... -
Influence of School Accessibility on Housing Values
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Accessibility to schools, especially prestigious ones, is often recognized as an important attribute that determines housing prices. It is usually cited as a major selling point for new housing developments in Singapore. ... -
Managing Water Services in Small Towns: Challenges and Reform Issues for Low-Income Countries

Transportation System Sustainability Issues in High-, Middle-, and Low-Income Economies: Case Studies from Georgia (U.S.), South Korea, Colombia, and Ghana
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)While there is no standard definition for sustainable transportation, several adopted definitions reflect that a sustainable transportation system should be effective and efficient in providing safe and equitable access ... -
Incomplete Information Analysis for the Origin-Destination Survey Table
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Sampling is one approach used to survey the origin-destination (O-D) trip matrix. However, when the sampling rate is not sufficiently large compared to the population, the sampling data may have missing values in O-D pairs ... -
Route Selection for a New Transportation System in Hillside Urban Areas: A Case Study in Nagasaki, Japan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)In hillside urban areas (HUA) gradual change in surrounding topography and inability of road environment to cope with these changes hinders the development of an efficient transportation network. Further, high growth of ... -
Market Disequilibrium and Urban Land Shortages: Analysis of Policy and Patterns in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Government regulations on urban land use can cause urban land shortages, and hence higher prices of urban land and housing. Hong Kong, in particular, is under the innate constraints of limited land resources. But developments ...
