Accident frequency forecast for commercial barge operations on the West Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The growth of barge traffic on the inland waterways in general and the West Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in particular has created safety problems resulting from congestion and excessive traffic density patterns. This study ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Tourism is a complex and economically significant factor in the economy of many areas of the world including the United States. Investment decisions for tourism are often made without considering all salient factors. This ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Narrow bridges and their approaches have historically borne a disproportionate share of accidents. Current criteria for determining whether a bridge is narrow are based primarily on the width of the bridge and the type of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)This dissertation deals with the applications of exponential smoothing to control charts with some consideration given to applications to operational control systems. In order to gain an intuitive feel for the behavior of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)This dissertation reports on the legibility effects of twenty-four combinations of text and background colors on the performance of a visual search task and an address input task on a visual display unit. Eighteen females ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)A procedure is developed to estimate the remaining service life of flexible pavements based upon predicted ride and distress conditions. These conditions are forecast using equations that involve measurable values of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )This study examined three questions: (a) is there a preferred speed that drivers find comfortable during travel, (b) how does it compare with the national maximum speed limit, and (c) what is its relationship to automobile ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)This research presents a construction algorithm for solving the facilities design problem which is the joint solution of a plant layout problem and a materials handling equipment selection problem. The emphasis in this ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)Traditionally, statistical control has been utilised in attempting to detect variation in quality of process-output for which it was assumed statistically independent observations were obtained over time. In practice, this ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)This dissertation is concerned with the following unconstrained optimization problem: [See PFD for equation]. This problem is known as the refinement problem of crystal structures. Previous contributions of optimization ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)The challenge of educating the engineering student adequately in the knowledge required in today's complex technology necessitates a curriculum design that makes the very best use of the student's time and energy he devotes ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)On 1 February 1972, 39 crewmen were lost along with a U.S. tanker, the V. A. Fogg, 50 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico in 90 feet of water. A similar disaster occurred as recently as the 22nd of January 1975 when the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The objective of this research effort was to determine on the basis of driver performance the distance, upstream of the exit gore point, at which an exit direction sign should be located on a freeway or interstate facility. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)The feasibility of a plane turbulent jet working in conjunction with a local exhaust system to provide effective air contaminant control was investigated in theory and experimentally. The combination of these air moving ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)The major objectives of this research are to develop an analysis process to relate procedures used by attacking air strike forces - the offense - to effectiveness achieved in electronic warfare engagements and to provide ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The main objective of this study was to investigate a method of reducing the amount of visual fatigue which is often associated with VDT usage. Specifically studied was the effect of the provision of refractive power on ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of load uncertainty on the lifting characteristics of the subjects. Forty male subjects volunteered for this study. Twenty subjects were members of the Texas A&M ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)This dissertation reports on the effects of seven levels of time constraint on performance employing three different tasks for the purpose of systematically determining the shape and examining the generalizability of the ...
-
Electrooculographic measurement, fatigue and variability of performance in simulated aircraft flight (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Recent aircraft technology has resulted in the development of aircraft with greatly increased range, flight duration capabilities and increased performance. The complexity of operating a highly sophisticated aircraft has ...
