Selection of Open-Pit Dump Trucks during Quarry Reconstruction
Abstract Nowadays and in the near foreseeable future the quarry road transport will be the most common in the open-cut mining method. This is due to a range of advantages of open-pit dump trucks usage as compared with other types of quarry...

Pedestrian and Cyclists Impacts on vehicular Capacity and Emissions at different Turbo-roundabouts layouts
Abstract Presence of pedestrian crosswalks and cyclists at innovative configurations of roundabouts may result in an impedance effect on the available vehicular capacity of the intersection. The degree of this impedance is related to the likelihood...

Harmonization of cyclical construction processes: a systematic review
Abstract Sustainable development is first defined as development that satisfies the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy theirs. Sustainable development is possible if conditions of respect for the...

A heuristic algorithm for solving a Multiple Criteria Carpooling Optimization (MCCO) problem
Abstract The authors consider in this paper a carpooling optimization problem, which is formulated (based on their previous work) as a constrained multiple criteria decision-making problem. Different aspects and contradictory preferences of...

Ideal Failure Models of Structures for Analysis by FEM and AFEM
Abstract This paper substantiated the need for the notion of ideal failure model of structure to be introduced when the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Additional Finite Element Method (AFEM) are used for nonlinear analysis at limit states. The...

Calibration of the demand structure for dynamic traffic assignment using flow and speed data: exploiting the advantage of distributed computing in derivative-free optimization algorithms
Abstract Stochastic optimization algorithms have been used in the recent literature as a preferred way for calibrating Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models, as the computation of explicit gradients is numerically too cumbersome on real networks....

Synergistic performance of piezoelectric transducers and asphalt pavement
Abstract The deformation of piezoelectric transducer and asphalt pavement differs because of their different stiffness. As the piezoelectric transducer is embedded in asphalt pavement, the differential deformation may cause a non-uniform stress and...

Multi-objective optimization for short distance trips in an urban area: choosing between motor vehicle or cycling mobility for a safe, smooth and less polluted route
Abstract Mobility in urban areas is highly complex because of the variety of possible facilities and routes, the multitude of origins and destinations, the increase of population density and traffic. Furthermore, people are willing to use more...

The Deformation Area Difference (DAD) method for condition assessment of reinforced structures
Abstract The investigation and condition assessment of bridges have a very high priority in the construction industry today. Particularly, due to the fact that many bridge structures are getting old and partly reach the end of their useful life, the ...

Supporting bidding decision using multi-criteria analysis methods
Abstract The bid/no bid decision is one of the first and most important decisions to make by the contractor when seeking a construction contract. In practice, a contractor repeatedly needs to choose one tender from among several announced tenders....

Formulation of the Transit Link Transmission Model
Abstract In this paper we present a new kind of dynamic assignment model for public transport, including transit and pedestrian networks, that is capable of representing single runs, whose schedule is possibly affected by congestion. To this end we...
