Legibility of freeway Lane Control Signals
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis documents the results of a laboratory study designed to evaluate and compare the glance legibility distance of commercially available freeway Lane Control Signals (LCS). Two prototype fiber-optic lane control ...
Faults as potential hydrocarbon barriers, Arroyo Grande, California
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Faulting in a sandstone introduces properties which are different from the country rock. Previous work has shown that these new properties can significantly impede the flow of hydrocarbons through the country rock. This ...
Accident causation study on roadways with limited sight distance crest vertical curves
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Stopping sight distance is an important parameter used in the design of a roadway's horizontal and vertical alignment. Many of the parameters used in the current stopping sight distance equation were developed in the 1950s ...
A direct AC-to-DC converter topology with high-frequency isolation
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
With the increasing need for source and load isolation for safer operation, higher power density (compact size), and higher power factor requirement in the modem computer power supplies and military applications, the power ...
