A Study on Lane Operation Restriction (LOR) Policy at On-ramp Junctions
Abstract On-ramp junctions on freeways are subject to vehicle merging interactions between main travel lanes and ramp flows. The turbulence created by these interactions often causes congestion, and can lead to breakdown when the combined volume...

Approach to identify misaligned dowel and tie bars in concrete pavements using ground penetrating radar
Abstract Dowels are used in jointed concrete pavements to provide load transfer and improve performance. Misaligned dowels could cause poor joint performance that would lead to pavement distresses. An approach to detect misaligned dowel bars in...
