Pooled versus private ride-hailing : a joint revealed and stated preference analysis recognizing psycho-social factors
(2020-12-04)
Pooled mobility services hold substantial promise as a means to provide better accessibility to those who may find it difficult to drive themselves, while also promoting sustainable transportation efforts. In this paper, ...
Forecasting off-street bicycle facility demands
(2020-12-04)
Some efforts to address the problem of environmental injustice toward minority
and low-income populations include the incorporation of bicycle facilities into an
infrastructure. Some well-known positive impacts that come ...
Framework for leveraging data from autonomous trucks to improve state maintenance operations
(2020-08-14)
Freight is key in fueling the economy and trucks are a vital connector which moved approximately 30,000 tons of cargo per day in 2018 [92]. Technology is improving, a shortage of drivers continues to expand, and fatalities ...
Spatial variation in shared ride-hail trip demand and factors contributing to sharing : lessons from Chicago
(2020-12-04)
As ride-hailing becomes more common in cities, and the effect of this increased demand on fixed infrastructure manifests itself, authorities increasingly seek transportation network company (TNC) service data to understand ...
Preliminary analysis and design of a test setup for evaluating lateral resistance of steel gravity framing systems
(2020-06-25)
The majority of steel structures in the U.S. follow a typical design practice. This practice consists of having relatively few frames of the building that resists lateral loads, and the remainder of the structure is designed ...
Variable speed limit and ramp metering control of highway networks using Lax-Hopf Method : a Mixed Integer Linear Programming Approach
(2020-06-29)
This work presents a novel optimization formulation to solve the problem of variable speed limit control on road networks modeled by the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) partial differential equation. It also presents some ...
Dynamic demand prediction model and application for competitive transportation market
(2020-05-13)
Despite the importance of transportation demand forecasting, predicted demand for
transportation service in the project feasibility phase is barely reached in the operation
phase due to optimism bias, strategic bias, and ...
BIM-based construction waste management and circular economy for resource recovery
(2021-04-21)
Projections show that the consumption of raw materials worldwide is set to almost double by 2060, and the construction industry is a key responsible party for this trend.
Additionally, high generation of construction and ...
Developing a framework to quantify the benefit cost ratio of skid resistance intervention thresholds at the network level
(2021-05-20)
Research has proven that low values of pavement friction increase crash rates. For this reason, highway agencies such as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Association of Highway and Transportation ...
Fire & explosion hazards due to thermal runaway propagation in lithium-ion battery systems
(2021-05-07)
Lithium-ion battery technologies are increasingly used in electric vehicles as well for electrical energy storage at residences, businesses and utilities. In a failure event, these cells may produce large quantities of ...
