A great disparity exists between the direction of travel demand forecasting by researchers, and the travel demand models used by transportation planning organizations. Activity-based models of travel demand have become ...

American households spend over $30 billion on tourism and take over 177 million long-distance leisure trips each year. These trips, and the subsequent vehicle miles traveled, have a significant impact on the transportation ...

In the state of Texas, the roadway network consists of approximately 313,228 miles of roads (Federal Highway Administration, 2013), accounting for 7.61% of the public roads in the United States. To put it in perspective, ...

A methodology for treating long-term origin-destination demand as random and possibly correlated in solving for deterministic user equilibrium is presented in this thesis. The effects of various types of correlations, ...

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) for the delivery of transportation infrastructure are said to offer increased efficiency resulting from the private sector’s life-cycle approach to design and construction. While the ...

This thesis examines the time-use patterns of adults in dual-earner households with and without children as a function of several individual and household socio-demographics and employment characteristics. A disaggregate ...

Standard traffic engineering methodologies rely heavily on traffic data collected in the field for the design and planning of roadways and intersections. This data can be used to build microsimulation models, which are ...

The smart city landscape is a complex and dynamic space. In a rapidly changing environment, transportation leaders are in need of a way to readily identify local mobility challenges, narrow in on the solutions that will ...

With the erosion of public trust, increasing shortfalls in funding, and continuous forces of disruption, State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) can no longer afford to rely upon traditional models of performance ...

Developing a traffic management plan for a transportation infrastructure project is a complex activity which requires input from many different fields. Ideally, design, construction and traffic engineers all work towards ...
