Non-Linear Analysis of Concrete Pavement Construction by the Use of Artificial Neural Networks
Abstract An artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed for the estimation of the concrete pavement construction productivity. Data were collected with direct observation over an eight month period. A multi-layer feed forward (MLFF) network...

Extended Bottlenecks, the Fundamental Relationship, and Capacity Drop on Freeways
Abstract This paper presents evidence that the commonly used point bottleneck model is too simplistic for freeway bottlenecks, the actual mechanism appears to occur over an extended distance. We find evidence of subtle flow limiting and speed...

A new hub location model for network design of wagonload traffic
Abstract In this paper, we present a specific hub location problem, which arose from a strategic decision problem for network design of wagonload traffic in German railway logistics. The strategic objective is to determine the location, size, and...

Investigating Initialization Times, Repetitions, and MOE Variability in Simulation of Under Saturated and Saturated Traffic Signals
Abstract This study involved investigating the sensitivity of MOEs to different simulation initialization times (7, 10, and 13minutes); observing the trend of variation of MOEs with increased simulation runs; and identifying the major contributors...

Optimizing the stacking of the Intermodal Transport Units in an inland terminal: an heuristic procedure
Abstract The actual system structure of the mobility of the goods, self-regulated from spontaneous phenomena rather than coherent and uniform managerial approach, is not compatible with the sustainable development, the optimization of the resources, ...

Framework for Estimating Travel Time, Distance, Speed, and Street Segment Level of Service (LOS), based on GPS Data
Abstract Street characterization might be done through its distance, travel time, average speed, flow or density. In this paper, the Level of Service (LOS) has been used as an alternate measure to characterize street segments, LOS categorizes the...

Traffic Microsimulation Model to Predict Variability of Red-Light Running Influenced by Traffic Light Operations in Urban Area
Abstract Based on previous potential conflicts analysis studies and recent research from the authors [1], this paper address the need to demonstrate the transferability of a new modelling approach by testing the model using a 4 arms signalised...

Capacity Analysis of Unsignalized Intersection Under Mixed Traffic Conditions
Abstract Unsignalized intersection is implemented to regulate low volume of traffic flow. The gap-acceptance method is the common approach to assess the performance of the intersection. However, among the drawbacks of the gapacceptance method are...

Inferring the Hydraulic Properties of a Historical Soil: A Revisiting of Perrault's Experiments
Abstract In his classical work published in 1674, Pierre Perrault presented four sets of experiments about the water circulation in the subsoil, which are recognized as one of the seminal contribution to the experimental hydrology. With the aim of...
