Strategies for Increasing Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety and Use
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Passage of the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act has resulted in increased emphasis on alternative modes of transportation. Two old modes of transportation, bicycling and walking, are beginning to receive ... -
Simultaneous Routing and Siting for Hazardous‐Waste Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper presents a mathematical model for the optimal simultaneous siting and routing of hazardous‐waste transport, storage, and disposal operations. Siting hazardous‐waste disposal facilities and the subsequent routing ... -
Infrastructure Management: U.S. and Japanese Systems Contrasted
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Japanese public‐works systems feature advanced technology, high rates of investment and a cooperative management culture. Public‐works policy is guided by political consensus, a social contract to provide welfare infrastructure, ... -
Evaluating Ride‐Sharing Programs: Massachusetts' Experience
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper presents the major results of an evaluation of Massachusetts' effort to promote ride‐sharing. The results suggest that serious consideration be given to refocusing the state's ride‐sharing activities. An attempt ... -
Designing Private Funding Programs for Public Highways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Over the last 20 years, municipalities have experienced serious erosion in their ability to fund highway improvements using conventional funding sources, and are turning to private sources. Local officials have often sought ... -
Grey Dynamic Programming for Waste‐Management Planning under Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The present paper introduces a grey dynamic programming (GDP) method by incorporating concepts of grey systems and grey decisions within a dynamic programming framework as a means for decision making under uncertainty. The ... -
Redesigning Suburbia for Walking and Transit: Emerging Concepts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Suburban sprawl has caused many problems in the last several decades. Of particular concern is overreliance on the automobile and the lack of alternative forms of transportation such as walking, bicycling, and transit. The ... -
Hawaii: Growth, Government, and Economy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Rapid growth of tourism and the decline of an agriculturally oriented economy in Hawaii have generated many political, social, and economic problems of significant interest to civil engineers—principally in the areas of ... -

Decision‐Support Tools for Transferring AM/FM/GIS to Small Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper examines several decision‐support tools for transferring AM/FM/GIS technology to small communities. The term Computer‐Assisted Spatial Information Systems (CASIS) provides a basis for a systematic categorization ... -
Commercial Growth Management Techniques in San Francisco
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)San Francisco has enacted a comprehensive series of zoning and planning measures that results in one of the most stringent office-growth control programs in the nation. These measures have been adopted by a combination of ... -
Infrastructure‐Management‐System Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)As with many communities across the United States, the basic infrastructure system of the U.S. Air Force Academy is beginning to age. To become more effective in allocating scarce resources, the academy has begun developing ... -
Aesthetic Design Philosophy Utilized for California State Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)This paper discusses the predominant bridge types designed and constructed in the western regions of the United States, emphasizing the utilization of continuous cast‐in‐place prestressed concrete box‐girder bridges in the ... -
Price Effects of Landfills on Residential Land Values
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)There is debate over whether, and the extent to which, landfills affect the value of residential land. There is further debate over whether the adverse effects of landfill proximity on land values continue after a landfill ... -
Discussion of “Positive Influence of Impact-Fee in Urban Planning and Development” by Arthur C. Nelson, James E. Frank, and James C. Nicholas (June, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 2)
