Application of Contractor's Knowledge in Public Financed Infrastructure Projects in Germany
Abstract In Germany the design and the construction of public infrastructure projects is usually separated into two different phases. In the first phase (design phase) client and designer mutually plan the project execution. In the subsequent...

Engineering Elements between First Year and Final Year Engineering Students in Malaysia
Abstract Earlier studies indicated that there are four main engineering elements which are inquiry, design, optimisation and sustainability. The further sub-classification includes 10 sub-elements: interest, discovery, inquisitive mind, imagination, ...

Support of Project Management Methods by Project Management Information System
Abstract Utilization of project management methods in practice in more extensive projects is, due to high demands, only possible with support of a Project Management Information System. Project managers can use a number of applications offering a...

Passenger Agent and Paratransit Operator Reaction to Changes of Service Frequency of a Fixed Train Line
Abstract Public transport companies should run sustainable transit lines and demand oriented services. This paper presents an enhanced evolutionary model, presented earlier, for the design of demand responsive routes and transport networks. The...

The Demand Analysis of Bike-and-ride in Rail Transit Stations based on Revealed and Stated Preference Survey
Abstract Bike-and-ride users consist of existing and potential bike-and-ride members. This paper first conducts a revealed preference survey for metro travelers, and an additional stated preference survey for travelers who are transferred by bus or...

Modeling Commuters’ Travel Behavior by Bayesian Networks
Abstract Previous studies indicate that residential location and commute distance may influence individual's travel behavior, but most models are limited to capture the internal relationship. In this paper, the methodology of Bayesian networks is...

Railway Rapid Transit Timetables with Variable and Elastic Demand
Abstract This paper focuses on the design of railway timetables considering a variable elastic demand profile along a whole design day. Timetabling is the third stage in the classical hierarchical railway planning process. Most of previous works on...

Integration of Agents in the Construction of a Single-family House through Use of BIM Technology
Abstract The tools and work methodologies currently employed in the construction industry do not allow evolution to face up to market demands. There being, in addition, less time for project planning for which more detailed specifications are...

Effects of Travel Demand Levels on Optimal Strategies for Metro System Management in Failure Contexts
Abstract In this paper, we investigate the effects of different fleet compositions on travel demand in the case of metro system breakdowns (such as reductions in train performance or unavailability of a rail convoy or a track section), in order to...

Influence Factor Analysis of Stochastic Capacity of Shanghai Expressway Segment
Abstract Recent studies have introduced a new approach of estimating expressway capacity. The capacity of expressway segments is treated as a random variable instead of the traditional approach of a constant value. Different distribution functions...

The effects of wind-induced inclination on the dynamics of semi-submersible floating wind turbines in the time domain
Abstract This study focusses on the coupling effects arising from the changes in the hydrodynamic behaviour of a semi-submersible floating wind turbine when it undergoes large inclinations under wind loading. By means of a range of time-domain...

Calculation of skid resistance from texture measurements
Abstract There is a wide range of routine skid resistance measurement devices on the market. All of them are measuring the friction force between a rubber wheel and the wetted road surface. Common to all of them is that they are relatively complex...

Multivariate Statistical Analysis for Water Demand Modeling
Abstract The actual level of water demand is the driving force behind the hydraulic dynamics in water distribution systems. Consequently, it is crucial to estimate it as accurately as possible in order to result in reliable simulation models. In...

Safety distance for preventing hot particle ignition of building insulation materials
Abstract Trajectories of flying hot particles were predicted in this work, and the temperatures during the movement were also calculated. Once the particle temperature decreased to the critical temperature for a hot particle to ignite building...

Effects of sample dimensions and shapes on measuring soil–water characteristic curves using pressure plate
Abstract It is well known that soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) plays an important role in unsaturated soil mechanics, but the measurement of SWCC is inconvenient. In laboratory it requires days of testing time. For fine-grained clays, it may...

The Practice of Time Management on Construction Project
Abstract The Malaysian construction industry plays a vital role in the country development. CIOB in 2008 [1] has indicated that the quality of time-management on construction projects is generally poor. Therefore, an effective time management for...
