Validation of the Highway Performance Monitoring System for forecasting levels of traffic
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This thesis documents the results and studies conducted when determining the accuracy of the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) methodology of forecasting future levels of traffic demand. The data that was used was ...
Driver comprehension of railroad-highway grade crossings
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Over the past twenty years, over $2 billion has been allocated for the improvement of railroad-highway grade crossings. Many passive crossings have been upgraded with active protection which has decreased the number of ...
Evaluation of access management on urban arterial streets using TRAF-NETSIM
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The increasing congestion problems faced by most metropolitan areas have resulted in the search for new ways to control the traffic congestion problem. Most cities have relied for years in the addition of new lanes to ...
The development of an approximate dynamic analysis of insulating glass units
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The goal of this thesis is to develop an approximate dynamic analysis of sealed insulating glass (IG) units subject to uniform blast loads, the formulation of which will be incorporated into a computer program that will ...
Aqueous phase toxicity of West Texas crude oil as influenced by the Rhodococcus H13-A biosurfactant
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Glycolipid biosurfactants produced by Rhodococcus species HI 3-A were used to enhance polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) solubility into the aqueous phase and promote bioavailability for degradation. This work builds ...
Relationship between design speed and operating speed at horizontal curves on suburban arterials
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Much research has been conducted in recent years to examine the relationship between design speed and operating speed at tangent and horizontal curve sections. The majority of previous research has focused on rural two-lane ...
Evaluation of pavement base and subgrade material properties and test procedures
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Not available
Development and analysis of a flexible signal phasing strategy for diamond interchange control
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
There are many signal timing strategies for diamond interchanges. Due to the different geometric and traffic conditions, however, none of the available strategies is always optimal. The two most widely used strategies, ...
Sorption model of trichloroethylene (TCE) and benezene in municipal landfill materials
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This research is intended to establish a mathematical model describing the mass transfer of trace gas in landfill. Experimental data used for calibration were reported by Stiegler et al. [ 1989]. Transfer mechanisms of TCE ...
A knowledge based approach to preliminary highway bridge design
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This study examines the preliminary design of several types of highway bridges using a knowledge based approach. There are many different types of highway bridges and the ability to choose the best type of structure and a ...
