    • A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR TRAFFIC DIVERSION AROUND CONSTRUCTION CLOSURES 

      Memarian, Arezoo; 0000-0002-7497-1059 (2016-08-12)
      As highway infrastructure ages and road congestion increases, roads need to be expanded and reconstructed. It results in creating many construction sites and work zones on highways, which leads to an unavoidable interruption ...

    • Calibration of MEPDG Performance Models for Flexible Pavement Distresses to Local Conditions of Ontario 

      Cunha Coelho, Nelson Fernando; 0000-0002-7972-6781 (2016-08-12)
      The implementation of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Mechanistical-Empirical Pavement Design requires the development of a design procedure that can be used by the agencies ...

    • Capacity Of Two-sided Type C On Freeway With Four Lanes 

      Ghasemi-Majd, Shadi (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
      Weaving segments are categorized based on weaving length, configuration, number of lanes, free flow speed and weaving ratio. All these parameters affect weaving capacity. One of the objectives of this research was to extend ...

    • Discharge Headway At Signalized Intersections In Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico 

      Chapa, Luis F. (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
      Driver behavior has been the subject of study for almost 100 years. As a result, driver characteristics have been determined and used in the design of highway elements, both for interrupted and for free flow facilities. ...

    • Dynamic Bus Lane 

      Joskowicz, Isaac F. (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
      This dissertation documents the research conducted to investigate the feasibility of implementing a "Dynamic Bus Lane" (DBL) system on Westheimer Road in Houston, Texas, and to determine the particular conditions when the ...

    • The Effects Of Behavioral, Geometric And Heavy Vehicle Traffic Flow Characteristics On Capacity And Emissions At Roundabouts 

      Sone, Cho Honest (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-11-01)
      Modern roundabouts, first constructed in England in the early 1960s, are becoming increasingly popular replacements for signalized and stop controlled intersections in the United States. Roundabouts were introduced to ...

    • 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 ...

    • Managed Lanes Weaving And Access Guideliness 

      Yang, Chulsu (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
      To maximize the potential for successful managed lanes (MLs) operations, there are critical design issues that require special attention. Adequate ML access spacing and length of the ML access opening are required for the ...
