A METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK FOR QUANTIFYING IMPACTS OF TRUCK TRAFFIC ON REGIONAL NETWORK WITH IMPLICATIONS TO TRANSPORT POLICY by Chaitanya N Pathak Increased global trade has promoted the importance of shipping industry and the... more
Technological advancement in recent years has resulted in larger and taller wind turbines (WTs) with enhanced power generation capacities. Application of natural hazard risk quantification for WTs helps stakeholders plan, design, install,... more
This paper presents vehicle localization and tracking methodology to utilize two-channel LiDAR data for turning movement counts. The proposed methodology uniquely integrates a K-means clustering technique, an inverse sensor model, and a... more
A dynamic travel-time prediction model was developed for the South Jersey (southern New Jersey) motorist real-time information system. During development and evaluation of the model, the integration of traffic flow theory, measurement and... more
We anticipate that future web search techniques will exploit changes in web structure and content. As a first step in this direction, we examine the problem of integrating observed changes in link structure into static hyperlink-based... more
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) aim at reducing travel time by controlling the existing transportation infrastructure through use of state-of-the-art technology. One of the current emphasis areas in ITS is improved coordination... more
Bus route design is one of the most important elements of public transit system planning. This paper presents a model for optimizing service headway,and bus route location serving an area with a commuter (many-to-one) travel pattern. The... more
The generic problem of estimation and inference given a sequence of i.i.d. samples has been extensively studied in the statistics, property testing, and learning communities. A natural quantity of interest is the sample complexity of the... more
Automatic passenger counter (APC) systems have been implemented in various public transit systems to obtain bus occupancy along with other information such as location, travel time, etc. Such information has great potential as input data... more
Work zone related traffic delay is an important cost component on freeways with maintenance activities. This study demonstrates that delays are always underestimated by using the deterministic queuing theory. Computer simulation is a... more
Bus routing is one of the most important elements of public transit system planning. This article presents a model for optimizing service headway and a bus route serving an area with a commuter (many-to-one) travel pattern. The bus route... more
Congestion is always a serious problem in many transportation commuting corridors. The need to implement effective control in the corridors has long been recognized by transportation professionals. Ramp metering has been discussed as a... more
A hybrid machine-learning model, integrating an artificial neural network (ANN) and a support vector machine (SVM) model, is developed to predict spatiotemporal delays, subject to road geometry, number of lane closures, and work zone... more
The accuracy of the Content should not be relied upon and should be independently verified with primary sources of information. Taylor and Francis shall not be liable for any losses, actions, claims, proceedings, demands, costs, expenses,... more
School bus routing is a version of the traveling salesman problem with time-window constraints and route balancing. This paper evaluates and compares the results of three techniques used in school bus routing: a time savings heuristic,... more
Travel times have been traditionally estimated from data collected by roadway sensors. Recently, new technologies, such as cell phone tracking, license plate matching, automatic vehicle identifications and video detection, are employed... more
