Capacity Estimation Of Two-sided Type C Weaves On Freeway
Vo, Phong Thanh (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-09-17)A weaving section is a common design on major highway facilities that has been an interest to researchers for years. Weaving areas are characterized by frequent lane changes, which significantly reduce the capacity of the ... -
Causes of Driver Distraction and Incidents at Signalized Intersections
Labony, Zannatulferdous; 0000-0002-1240-3697 (2021-08-19)Driver distraction causes a major portion of motor vehicle crashes because distractions turn the driver’s attention away from driving the driving task, Intersections represent high risk environments because many conflict ... -
Evaluating Beat Structure And Truck Allocation For The Tarrant County Courtesy Patrol
Daneshgar, Farzad (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)Non-recurring congestion poses a significant concern to urban freeway drivers. Effective incident management relies on many tools to lessen the overall impact of crashes, road debris, and stalled/disabled vehicles. While ... -
Evaluation Of Surface Transportation Funding Alternatives Using Criteria System Established Through A Delphi Survey Of Texas Transportation Experts
Pulipati, Sasanka Bhushan (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-03-12)For more than a decade, transportation officials have been concerned that, at current levels, the fuel tax, the primary funding source of surface transportation in the United States, would not provide enough revenue to ... -
Group Assignment and Annual Average Daily Traffic Estimation of Short-term Traffic Counts Using Gaussian Mixture Modeling and Neural Network Models
Madanu, Sunil Kumar (2016-09-13)The grouping of similar traffic patterns and cluster assignment process represent the most critical steps in AADT estimation from short-term traffic counts. Incorrect grouping and assignment often become a significant ... -
IMPACT OF WEATHER FACTORS ON GO-AROUND OCCURRENCE
Donavalli, Bharath (2016-05-10)A “go-around” occurs when an aircraft, which is on final approach, aborts it landing due to unsatisfactory conditions. Go-arounds have a significant impact on the capacity of the airports and pose a serious concern at large ... -
