Evaluation of HOV and Shoulder lane Travel Strategy for I-95 BY CHUNG

Interstate 95 (I-95) is the major northsouth traffic artery for much of’ the eastern United States. In the Washington, D. C., area 1-95 joins I-495 (the Capital Beltway) to carry an extraordinary volume of the region’s traffic. In Northern Virginia, I-95 runs through Fairfax County, where it figures heavily in morning and afternoon commuting for thousands of motorists. The cumulative demand far...

Developing a Priority-Based Decision Making Method to Evaluate Geometric Configuration of Urban Interchanges

The present article involves in evaluation and engineering judgment of various geometric configurations for highway interchanges by considering substantial parameters over the discretion process. The geometric, economical and architectural criteria as the fundamental indicators are divided into related sub-indicators and the total combinations of such sub-elements from the general criterion for...

Dynamic Traffic Assignment for Automated Highway Systems: A Two-lane Highway with Speed Constancy

Dynamic traffic assignment through analytical modeling and optimization has been widely accepted by the IVHS R&D community as a promising traffic control tool for understanding and relieving traffic congestion on conventional highways and city streets. Due to the completely controlled nature of AHS traffic, dynamic assignment of AHS traffic is even more promising. One added dimension of complex...

Seismic Vulnerability Study of the Us Highway Bridge Systems

In the fall of 1998, the Federal Highway Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation initiated a series of studies related to the seismic performance of the U.S. national highway system. The research conducted under this study is intended to provide improved tools for evaluating and assessing the social costs and impacts of earthquakes on highway systems and bridges, and to reduce t...
