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 ... -
Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis of Traffic Forecasting: A Case Study
(2022)Transportation planning has historically relied on statistical models to analyze travel patterns across space and time. Recently, an urgency has developed in the United States to address outdated policies and approaches ... -
Extending Micromobility Deployments: A Concept and Local Case Study
(Springer, 2021)Micromobility is a recent phenomenon that refers to the use of small human- or electric-powered vehicles such as scooters and bikes to travel short distances, and sometimes to connect with other modes of transportation ... -
Forecasting the Effects of Autonomous Vehicles on Land Use
(2020)The widespread availability of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) will likely affect social change in terms of how people travel. Traditional methods of travel demand and land use modeling require vast amounts of ... -
A Fuzzy Delphi Analytic Hierarchy Model to Rank Factors Influencing Public Transit Mode Choice: A Case Study
(2020)This study applied a decision-based model with uncertainty to identify factors in mode choice and to rank their influence in attracting riders to available public transit modes in the city of Tehran. The model integrates ... -
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 ... -
Hyperspectral Imaging Utility for Transportation Systems
(2015)The global transportation system is massive, open, and dynamic. Existing performance and condition assessments of the complex interacting networks of roadways, bridges, railroads, pipelines, waterways, airways, and ... -
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 ... -
Identifying Factors Associated with Terrorist Attack Locations by Data Mining and Machine Learning
(2023)While studies typically investigate the socio-economic factors of perpetrators to comprehend terrorism motivations, there was less emphasis placed on factors related to terrorist attack locations. Addressing this knowledge ... -
Inertial Sensor Sample Rate Selection for Ride Quality Measures
(2014)The Road Impact Factor is a measure of ride-quality. It is derived from the average inertial response of vehicles to road roughness. Unlike the International Roughness Index, the most common measure, the road impact ... -
Introducing a Micro-Wireless Architecture for Business Activity Sensing
(2008)RFID performance deficiencies discovered in recent high profile applications have highlighted the danger of selecting only passive tags for an application because of their lowest cost relative to other types of RFID ... -
Introducing an Efficiency Index to Evaluate eVTOL Designs
(2023)The evolution of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft as part of the Advanced Air Mobility initiative will affect our society and the environment in fundamental ways. Technological forecasting suggests ... -
Literature Review of Socioeconomic and Environmental Impacts of High-Speed Rail in the World
(2021)Countries considering high-speed rail (HSR) developments face enormous challenges because of their high deployment cost, environmental obstacles, political opposition, and their potentially adverse effects on society. ... -
Micromobility Station Placement Optimization for a Rural Setting
(2021)Micromobility is an evolving form of transportation modality that uses small human- or electric-powered vehicles to move people short distances. Planners expected that bike sharing, the first form of micromobility, would ... -
Mining Connected Vehicle Data for Beneficial Patterns in Dubai Taxi Operations
(2018)On-demand shared mobility services such as Uber and micro-transit are steadily penetrating the worldwide market for traditional dispatched taxi services. Hence, taxi companies are seeking ways to compete. This study mined ... -
Model Contrast of Autonomous Vehicle Impacts on Traffic
(2020)The adoption of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) is in its infancy. Therefore, very little is known about their potential impacts on traffic. Meanwhile, researchers and market analysts predict a wide range of ... -
A Participatory Sensing Approach to Characterize Ride Quality
(2014)Rough roads increase vehicle operation and road maintenance costs. Consequently, transportation agencies spend a significant portion of their budgets on ride-quality characterization to forecast maintenance needs. The ... -
