Assessment of automated technologies in Texas for pavement distress identification, texture, and cross slope measurement
(2014-05)
Automated technologies can be beneficial for collecting data on the condition of pavements. As opposed to a traditional manual survey of the road, automated data collection can provide a safer alternative that is objective, ...
Vulnerability and decision risk analysis in glacier lake outburst floods (GLOF). Case studies : Quillcay sub basin in the Cordillera Blanca in Peru and Dudh Koshi sub basin in the Everest region in Nepal
(2014-08)
Glacial-dominated areas pose unique challenges to downstream communities in adapting to recent and continuing global climate change, including increased threats of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) that have substantial ...
Three dimensional viscous/inviscid interactive method and its application to propeller blades
(2012-08)
A three dimensional viscous/inviscid interactive boundary layer method for predicting the effects of fluid viscosity on the performance of fully wetted propellers is presented. This method is developed by coupling a three ...
Applicability of agent-based model to managing roadway infrastructure
(2013-12)
In a roadway network, infrastructure conditions determine efficient network operation and traveler safety, and thus roadway engineers need a sophisticated plan to monitor and maintain network performance. Developing a ...
Impact of range anxiety on driver route choices using a panel-integrated choice latent variable model
(2014-12)
There has been a significant increase in private vehicle ownership in the last decade leading to substantial increase in air pollution, depleting fuel reserves, etc. One of the alternatives known as battery operated electric ...
Double-punch test for evaluating the performance of steel fiber-reinforced concrete
(2012-05)
The objective of this study is to develop test protocols for comparing the effectiveness of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) mixtures with high-performance steel fibers. Steel fibers can be added to fresh concrete to increase ...
Using existing highway right-of-way for high-speed passenger trains : a comprehensive evaluation
(2010-08)
The implementation of high-speed passenger trains (HST) within existing highway right-of-way (ROW) offers a solution for regions with a demand for the capacity and service offered by HST but lacking the support for sharing ...
A joint vehicle holdings (type and vintage) and primary driver assignment model with an application for California
(2011-12)
Transportation sector has been a major contributing factor to the overall emissions of most pollutants and thus their impacts on the environment. Among all transportation activities, on-road travel accounts for most part ...
Creation and customization of a GIS-based traffic control planning tool
(2011-12)
The purpose of this study is to develop a tool that will assist in the development of traffic control plans. Using information from TxDOT Dallas District and several other sources, a GIS-based map has been assembled that ...
An automated methodology for rapid information extraction from large drilling datasets
(2019-02-06)
Extracting information and knowledge from large datasets often takes a significant amount of time in collecting, cleaning and processing the data. This process, from data curation to data interpretation can last from a ...
