New Traffic Assignment Method on Circuit Theory for Urban Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)In terms of the similarity between a road network and a circuit network, this paper demonstrates that Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws observed in the circuit can be employed in the traffic assignment of the road ... -
Forecasting Cargo Throughput for the Port of Hong Kong: Error Correction Model Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The port of Hong Kong is the primary import/export hub for the Pearl River Delta. However, with the exception of Fung, rigorous attempts in forecasting cargo traffic for the port have been lacking. The official forecast ... -
State-Local Coordination in Managing Land Use and Transportation along State Highways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The access that state highways provide to adjacent land enables the development of that land. Although access alone does not ensure that development will occur, land with access from a state highway has considerably greater ... -
Estimating the Liability of Redeveloped Contaminated Lands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The redevelopment of brownfields has been promoted heavily in recent years to return contaminated lands to productive use. However, concerns about liability can complicate and hinder remediation efforts. The proponent of ... -

Modeling Trip Generation with Data from Single and Two Independent Cross-Sectional Travel Surveys
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper investigates the possibility of developing trip generation models using data collected at two or more points in time in independent cross-sectional travel surveys conducted in the same urban area. Alternative ... -
Estimation of Multiclass Origin-Destination Matrices from Traffic Counts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper presents a procedure for the estimation of multiclass origin-destination (O-D) matrices for a highway network. The system consists of a number of vehicle classes. Demand is assigned to the network in a user ... -
Commercial Truck Parking Analysis: Method to the Madness or Madness in the Method?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Parking is often a controversial topic. Truck parking, which has reverberations on land use and economic development, was brought to the forefront through TEA-21 Section 4027 that required the Federal Highway Administration ... -
Integrating Brownfields Redevelopment with Transportation Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The Small Business Liability and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002 reflects a continuing national commitment to redevelop and return brownfields to productive use. As brownfields are being redeveloped, there are a ... -
Feasibility of Using Urban Planning Models to Support Intermediate Traffic Forecasts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper focuses on analyzing traffic facilities for an intermediate time frame. There are two methodologies examined in this work, the first uses extrapolated, historical traffic count data and the second uses an urban ... -
Statistical Framework Using GIS to Estimate Unpaved Road VMT for PM10 Emission Inventories
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The latest Clean Air Act Amendments mandate that every area in the nation meet standards for six criteria pollutants—ozone, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, and particulate matter—both with an ... -
New Urban Public Transportation Systems: Initiatives, Effectiveness, and Challenges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Growing traffic congestion, the need to preserve the environment, and the problems of road safety are the main reasons for many cities worldwide to consider new initiatives in public transportation (PT) systems. This work ... -
Future of Standards and Rules in Shaping Place: Beyond the Urban Genetic Code
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004) -
Green Zones in the Future of Urban Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This work analyzes certain influences of climatological variables on the city, as well as the main interactions between green spaces and the environmental parameters that form the urban environment. Several comfort indices ... -
Brownfield Development: Tools for Stewardship
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Brownfield development can be a “win-win” situation for the majority of the stakeholders that have an interest in the near- and long-term use of a currently unrealized asset. Further, brownfield development is a complex ... -
Land Use and Growth Impacts from Highway Capacity Increases
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This analysis examines the historical relationship between land-use changes and the location of capacity-increasing highway projects in Oregon from 1970 to 1990. Aerial photography for 15 cities was used to delineate the ... -
Diminishment Index for Considering Concurrently Project’s Feasibility and Financial Structure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Feasibility analyses of large development projects have been mainly concerned with Indexes such as IRR & NPV based on the cash flow statement and -
Clean It and They Will Come? Defining Successful Brownfield Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The redevelopment of former industrial sites can have positive impacts on the environment, economic development, and quality of life in a given community. The federal brownfields initiative of the 1990s was intended to ... -
Simulating Urban Growth in a Developing Nation’s Region Using a Cellular Automata-Based Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Urbanization is one of the most evident global changes. Research in the field of urban growth modelling has generated models that explore for drivers and components of the urban growth dynamics. Cellular automata (CA) ... -
Forecasts and Reliability Analysis of Port Cargo Throughput in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Hong Kong, the busiest container port in the world, has been using a regression analysis approach to forecast port cargo throughput for its port planning and development over the decades. In this paper, the neural network ...
