A procedure for automatically linking a geographical database and a pavement attribute database
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Many municipalities have operational Pavement Management Systems (PMS) in one form or another. These municipalities desire the ability to access, manipulate, analyze, display, and report graphical information about their ...
Develop a numerical model to evaluate furrow irrigation performance
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
A numerical model to evaluate furrow irrigation performance was developed and tested. The MacCormack scheme, which is a second order accurate explicit finite difference method, was utilized to solve the complete form of ...
Cost-effectiveness of freeway median high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facility conversion to rail guideway transit
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Many freeways in the United States contain median high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities. These facilities have been envisioned by some as reserved space for future rail guideway transit. This thesis examines the ...
An enhanced model for calculating delay as a function of offset
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This thesis presents the enhancements made to an existing model for calculating delay as a function of offset between the traffic signals of a link. The delay-difference-of offset technique is a signal control concept used ...
Constructibility review process framework for transportation facilities
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Constructibility is the optimum use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, design, procurement, and field operations in order to achieve overall project objectives ("Constructibility: a primer" 1986). This ...
Assessment of TRAF-NETSIM for analyzing arterial weaving between ramp terminals and cross streets
(Texas A&M University, 1995)

An investigation of the relationship between total and stopped delay at signalized intersections
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This thesis investigated the relationship between total delay and stopped delay at signalized intersections. As the 1.3 value used in the 1985 HCM was obtained empirically, an analytical model was developed to account for ...
Live load effects in diaphragms of concrete slab-on-steel girder highway bridges
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Diaphragms have been shown to have no contribution to lateral distribution of live load as far as design of longitudinal steel girders is concerned. However, they do distribute the transverse moments in a bridge which must ...
A stochastic approach to risk assessment of hazardous waste sites
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A deterministic risk assessment model was evaluated for the variability in its input parameters, Information on these variables was gathered to characterize the variability. Statistical distributions were assigned to the ...
Evaluation of TexSIM for modeling traffic behavior at diamond interchanges
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Poor operation of diamond interchanges along a freeway corridor can decrease the mobility of the corridor and increase time and energy costs associated with delay at signalized interchanges. Computer simulation provides a ...
