Integrating Real-Time Traffic Data in Road Safety Analysis
Abstract Traffic data aggregation has been a serious factor of inaccuracy in most road safety studies. The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) has been the most commonly used measure to reflect traffic conditions. In this paper, we establish a...

Actors’ Positions and Inclinations Towards the Electromobility System in France
Abstract The electromobility system of actors not only comprises the usual stakeholders involved in individual mobility, such as car manufacturers and drivers, but also electricity suppliers, service providers and above all public authorities. With...

Assessing Lean Systems Using Variability Mapping
Abstract A new approach to assess lean manufacturing based on system's variability is proposed. The assessment utilizes a new tool called variability source mapping (VSMII) which focuses on capturing and reducing variability across the production...

Modeling Arterial Travel Time with Limited Traffic Variables using Conditional Independence Graphs & State-Space Neural Networks
Abstract This paper presents travel time prediction models for both congested and non-congested conditions on urban arterial using only limited basic traffic data. The state-space notion of traffic processes and State-Space Neural Network (SSSNNet)...

A stochastic model of trip end disaggregation in traffic assignment to a transportation network
Abstract So far, traffic assignment to a network has been modelled by aggregating trip ends into zone centroids. The paper introduces a disaggregate model of trip ends, by associating to each zone a set of “anchor nodes” for network access and a...

Research On Model Of Resource Management For Traffic Grid
Abstract Traffic information is massive and heterogeneous, so that traffic decision information is ineffective to be used and shared. In addition, the supply of traffic decision support is limited. Intelligent traffic system (ITS) is based on Grid...

An Intelligence Traffic Accidence Monitor System Using Sensor Web Enablement
Abstract it is an urgent task to establish freeway network monitoring system. The capability of fast detecting traffic incidents and abnormity is necessary to reduce the loss caused by traffic accidents, to carry into accident rescue timely and...

A Review on Transit Assignment Modelling Approaches to Congested Networks: A New Perspective
Abstract This paper reviews a number of studies on both frequency-and schedule-based transit assignment models that have been proposed by far, wherein various behavioural assumptions on a wide range of aspects are embedded. With a reinvestigation on ...

Unscented Kalman filter for urban network travel time estimation
Abstract To estimate urban network travel time, the classical analytical procedure uses cumulative counts at upstream and downstream locations of links. This procedure is vulnerable in urban networks mainly due to significant flow to and from...

Discontinous Galerkin and Mixed-Hybrid Finite Element Approach to Two-Phase Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media with Different Capillary Pressures
Abstract A modern numerical scheme for simulation of flow of two immiscible and incompressible phases in inhomogeneous porous media is proposed. The method is based on a combination of the mixed-hybrid finite element (MHFE) and discontinuous...

Structural performance of circular columns confined by recycled GFRP stirrups and exposed to severe conditions
Abstract Since 1980, Egyptian government investment has been directed to the infrastructure projects. Water supply and water drainage networks are among those projects which are very costly; therefore they are designed with a life span of about one...

The Framework of an Optimization Model for Building Envelope
Abstract Building design is an iterative process from the conceptual design up to the final process, so the use of computer-based tools here is vital. The purpose of this research was to investigate the most popular tools for building design and...

Investigation on the seismic behavior of exterior beam–column joint using T-type mechanical anchorage with hair-clip bar
Abstract In reinforced concrete structures, it is essential to enhance the performance of beam–column joints in moderate and severe seismic susceptibility areas. An attempt has been made to study and evaluate the performance of exterior beam–column...

In-Situ Health Assessment of a Poorly Executed Pre-Stressed In-Service Concrete Bridge and Suggesting a Rehabilitation Strategy – A Case Study
Abstract A study is reported on a two lane in-service pre-stressed concrete bridge having susceptible vibrations under service traffic conditions. The bridge was 1300ft long with thirteen simple pre- cast post tensioned spans resting on in-situ...

Embedding multiple heuristics into choice models: An exploratory analysis
Abstract Contrary to the usual assumption of fixed, well-defined and context independent preferences, individuals are likely to approach a choice task using rules and heuristics that are dependent on the choice environment. More specifically,...
