Accuracy Enhancement of Roadway Anomaly Localization Using Connected Vehicles
(2016)
The timely identification and localization of roadway anomalies that pose hazards to
the traveling public is currently a critical but very expensive task. Hence,
transportation agencies are evaluating emerging alternatives ...
Sourcing Strategy for Asphalt Production Feedstock Considering Multimodal Transport Options
(2016)
This paper examines the logistics and distribution channels for importing heavy crude oil, which
is a source of bitumen. The study conducts a sensitivity analysis to assess the suitability of
existing or new distillery ...
Pavement Performance Evaluations Using Connected Vehicles
(2016)
The ability of any nation to support economic growth and commerce relies on their capacity to preserve and to sustain the performance of pavement assets. The ever-widening funding gap to maintain pavements challenges the ...
Error Sensitivity of the Connected Vehicle Approach to Pavement Performance Evaluations
(2016)
The international roughness index is the prevalent indicator used to assess and
forecast road maintenance needs. The fixed parameters of its simulation model
provide the advantage of requiring relatively few traversals ...
Hyperspectral Range Imaging for Transportation Systems Evaluation
(2016)
Transportation agencies expend significant resources to inspect critical infrastructure such as roadways, railways, and
pipelines. Regular inspections identify important defects and generate data to forecast maintenance ...
Precision Enhancement of Pavement Roughness Localization with Connected Vehicles
(2016)
Transportation agencies rely on the accurate localization and reporting of roadway anomalies that could
pose serious hazards to the traveling public. However, the cost and technical limitations of present methods ...
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 ...
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 ...
What's in Your Discovery Layer?: An Introduction to Format
(2016)
The purpose of this activity is to introduce students to the “Information Creation as a Process” frame using the variety of resources retrieved from a discovery layer. Students are asked to use a discovery layer record to ...
