Computer-Assisted Creation of 3D Models of Freeway Interchanges
Several existing procedural modeling systems are able to generate large 3D models of cities. However, none of these systems can automatically create 3D models of freeways and freeway interchanges, even though these are important features in 3D urban landscape. We have implemented a system that automatically creates 3D models of road surfaces, bridges, tunnels, freeways, and freeway interchanges...

متن کاملThe Smoothing Effect of Carpool Lanes on Freeway Bottlenecks
Real data show that reserving a lane for carpools on congested freeways induces a smoothing effect that is characterized by significantly higher bottleneck discharge flows (capacities) in adjacent lanes. The effect arises because disruptive vehicle lane changing diminishes in the presence of a carpool lane. The effect is reproducible across days and freeway sites: it was observed, without excep...
متن کاملLife cycle assessment of steel production from iron scrap: a case study at a steel plant
Background and Objective: The steel industry is the world's largest consumer of energy. A large amount of iron waste is produced annually, which its use in the steel industry can be economic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the environmental impacts of the steelmaking from iron scrap as a raw material using a life cycle assessment (LCA) method. Materials and Methods: Simapro softw...
متن کاملDesign of Transit Signal Priority at Signalized Intersections with Queue Jumper Lanes
A queue jumper lane is a special bus preferential treatment that combines a short stretch of a special lane with a transit signal priority (TSP) to allow buses to bypass waiting queues of traffic and then to cut out in front of the queue by getting an early green signal. This paper first proposes a signal control design for queue jumper lanes with actuated TSP strategies and then compares its p...
