Design aspects of the AB prototype in the Qiandao Lake
Abstract Submerged Floating Tunnel, also known as Archimedes Bridge, appears to be a very suitable technical solution for waterway crossings. In spite of it, no SFT has been constructed yet in the world, probably due to the total lack of...

Submerged floating tunnels (SFTs) for Norwegian fjords
Abstract Submerged floating tunnels (SFTs) weigh roughly the same as the surrounding water. The loads on the tunnel depend on the variation of the forces on the tunnel. The forces come from variation in traffic, current, temperature, waves, weight...

Time-dependent Service Quality of Network Sections
Abstract The traffic state in road networks and the corresponding quality of traffic flow is significantly influenced not only by the travel demand but also by road works, accidents or weather conditions. Current guidelines do not yet consider these ...
