Characterizing Pavement Roughness at Non-Uniform Speeds Using Connected Vehicles
(2017)
Methods of pavement roughness characterizations using connected vehicles are poised to scale beyond the frequency, span, and affordability of existing methods that require specially instrumented vehicles and skilled ...
Use of Connected Vehicles to Characterize Ride Quality
(2016)
The United States rely on the performance of more than four million miles of roadways to
sustain its economic growth and to support the dynamic mobility needs of its growing
population. The funding gap to build and ...
Rapid Hyperspectral Image Classification to Enable Autonomous Search Systems
(2016)
The emergence of lightweight full-frame hyperspectral cameras is destined to enable
autonomous search vehicles in the air, on the ground, and in water. Self-contained and
long-endurance systems will yield important new ...
Hyperspectral Applications in the Global Transportation Infrastructure
(2015)
Hyperspectral remote sensing is an emerging field with
potential applications in the observation, management,
and maintenance of the global transportation
infrastructure. This study introduces a general analytical
framework ...
Resolution Agile Remote Sensing for Detection of Hazardous Material Spills
(2016)
Traffic carrying flammable, corrosive, poisonous, and radioactive materials continues to increase
in proportion with the growth in their production and consumption. The sustained risk of
accidental releases of such ...
Wavelength Sensitivity of a Connected Vehicle Method of Ride Quality Characterizations
(2017)
Researchers previously demonstrated that a roughness index called the road impact
factor (RIF) is directly proportional to the international roughness index (IRI) when
measured under identical conditions. A RIF-transform ...
Evaluating the Effects of Workshops and Consultations on the ETD Review Process
(2019)
In Fall 2014 North Dakota State University began holding ETD workshops and individual formatting consultations in an effort to reduce negative student experiences with the Graduate School's ETD format review, such as ...
Performance of Hyperspectral Imaging with Drone Swarms
(2018)
The ongoing proliferation and diversification of remote sensing platforms offers greater flexibility to select from a range of hyperspectral imagers as payloads. The emergence of low-cost unmanned aircraft systems (drones) ...
Enhancement of Signals from Connected Vehicles to Detect Roadway and Railway Anomalies
(2019)
Frequent network-wide monitoring of the condition of roadways and railways prevent fatalities, injuries, and financial losses. Even so, agencies cannot afford to inspect vast transportation networks using present methods. ...
Road Roughness Evaluation Using In-Pavement Strain Sensors
(2015)
The international roughness index (IRI) is a characterization of road roughness or ride quality that transportation agencies most often report. The prevalent method of acquiring IRI data requires instrumented vehicles and ...
