Anticipated Travel Time , Information Acquisition and Actual Experience : The Case of Hanshin Expressway Route Closure

Travel time is one of the most fundamental and important determinants of travel behavior. However, the travel time on which travel decision is based is subjective one, i.e., anticipated travel time. We propose a conceptual model of the formation of an anticipated travel time through information acquisition and initial driving experience. Fitting this model to day-to-day data of anticipated trav...

Online Traffic Simulator (heroine) Introduced at the Hanshin Expressway Traffic Control Center

In November 2002, the Hanshin Expressway Public Corporation started the operation of a traffic simulation program called HEROINE. This report outlines the functions of HEROINE and its actual operation. The program was evaluated by comparing the estimation results against actual traffic volume data for two months from the start date of the operation. Discussion extends to possible system improve...

Bridge Displacement Monitoring Method Based on Laser Projection-Sensing Technology

Bridge displacement is the most basic evaluation index of the health status of a bridge structure. The existing measurement methods for bridge displacement basically fail to realize long-term and real-time dynamic monitoring of bridge structures, because of the low degree of automation and the insufficient precision, causing bottlenecks and restriction. To solve this problem, we proposed a brid...

Harbor/Mooring Harbor Defense Concept

The long-term goal of this work is an integrated defense system that provides protection of Navy assets, while in port, from the threat posed by covert swimmers. The general concept is to hail, deter, and/or incapacitate the threat by directing a controlled level of low-frequency acoustic energy at the target location. At the system level, the concept requires combining elements of target detec...
