Prediction of traffic flow for real-time control
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The prediction of traffic flow on a network and the relationship of these flows to the traffic control signal settings are major factors in the development of an adaptive real-time signal system. PASSER IV is an arterial ...
Laboratory compaction of cohesionless sands
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A total of 62 cohesiveness sands were tested to rographics. investigate the importance of the water content, grain size distribution, grading of the soil, particle shape, grain crushing during testing and laboratory ...
Evaluation of two commercial bioaugmentation products for enhanced removal of petroleum from a wetland
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The proximity of petroleum producing and processing facilities to wetlands on the Texas Gulf Coast results in chronic exposure of these sensitive environments to petroleum. In addition, concern exists because of the ...
Subsurface characterization of the San Jacinto River Research site
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
In order to develop an effective petroleum repudiation ics. strategy, the interaction between surface and shallow subsurface water was determined for the San Jacinto River Oi1 Spill Remediation Research site. The ten-acre ...
Spectral analysis of slender tensioned cylinder interaction
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a floating deep-water compliant structure that utilizes a system of slender vertical tensioned structural members, i.e. tendons, to provide station keeping. In the past most emphasis has ...
An investigation of cyclist behavior at intersections
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The designing of bicycle lanes can be a complicated issue. Some bicycle lane treatments are meant to encourage cyclists to merge with traffic before the intersection, while some treatments channelize cyclists to merge ...
Study of permanent deformation mechanism in asphalt mixes in relation to microcrack growth
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Recent developments by Lytton et al. (1998) indicate phics. that the growth of micrographs in asphalt layers under repeated loading is also a cause for the accumulation of permanent deformation or rutting in pavements ...
Evaluation of alternative superelevation distribution methods
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Understanding vehicle performance on horizontal curves ics. is needed to improve current design standards. Superelevation distribution methods determine the amount of supererogation that is used on each horizontal curve. ...
Evaluation of traffic operations at diamond interchanges using advanced actuated control
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis documents an operational analysis of ographics. advanced actuated traffic control at signalized diamond interchanges. The study attempts to determine the benefits a "flexible'' phasing strategy provides to the ...
Joint strength in RCS frames
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
As part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) program ics. on composite and hybrid systems at Texas A&M University, the objective of this thesis is to investigate the joint strength in reinforced column-steel beam (RCS) ...
