Evaluation of detector placement strategies for first generation traffic responsive signal control
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Traffic responsive signal systems rely on system detector data to evaluate current traffic conditions and select a corresponding timing plan from a library of plans. One of the major decisions surrounding the use of traffic ...
Analysis of the AirTouch automatic vehicle location system's ability to locate moving vehicles
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Automatic vehicle location systems are becoming more prevalent in diverse transportation applications. Their ability to locate vehicles can assist in locating emergency and public transit vehicles for better real-time ...
Properties of concrete incorporating high volumes of ASTM Class F fly ash
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This thesis presents the results of research performed in developing high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete incorporating ASTM Type I cement and ASTM Class F fly ash from Big Brown Power Plant of TU Electric, Texas. In HVFA ...
Inflated contours for extreme response prediction in complex structural systems
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This study investigates the technique of environmental contour inflation to account for statistical uncertainties in either the loading or the response. Complex structural systems are treated as simple systems and the ...
An evaluation of permanent deformation properties of crumb rubber modified (CRM) asphalt concrete mixtures
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The disposal of waste car and truck tires in the U.S. is becoming increasingly problematic, as is true for all forms of non-biodegradable solid waste. Over 200 million tires are discarded annually, of which only 34 percent ...
Load tests on five large spread footings on sand and evaluation of prediction methods
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The design techniques for many of today's modem shallow foundations are often based on figures and formulas developed as many as fifty years ago. These design techniques were developed in the early stages of foundation ...
The characterization of contaminant transport on a central Texas research facility
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Non point source (NPS) pollution is a growing concern in the United States and the world. Sediment, nitrogen, phosphorous and pesticides are the major contributors to the non-point source pollution problem in the United ...
Estimation of delay at signalized intersections for oversaturation and variable demand conditions
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Measurement of delay is not always feasible due to the cost and effort involved. Estimation of delay using analytical models is an effective alternative. The most popular and widely used model is the Highway Capacity ...
The economic effects of elevated and depressed freeways on adjacent property owners
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
An economic assessment of a community is detected by indicators that signal a change in the functioning of an economy. These indicators can either mean a good or a bad year for consumers and merchants. There are many factors ...
An evaluation of guide signing at right multilane freeway exits with optional lanes
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
In urban areas, complex geometric situations make the guide signing task difficult. Since only a limited amount of space can be devoted to guide signing information, careful consideration must be given to the content of ...
