Highway planning is a process wherein a highway network con­ sidered adequate to meet both the present and future traffic demands of an auto-oriented, ever-growing populace is visualized. It is also the process in which a procedure designed to implement the plan should be formulated. The first step in the planning process is the determination of high­ way needs. The elimination of these needs r...

Highway automation has recently enjoyed renewed research interest as a method for solving highway congestion problems. To determine the feasibility of automated highways, it will be essential to estimate the automated highway benefits. A critical task in the analysis of automated highway benefits is to estimate the potential increase in highway capacity. This paper uses deterministic approximat...

Transportation construction is a large industry—particularly highway construction, on which more than $50 billion is spent annually. Small improvements can result in significant savings in time and cost, as well as better quality and fewer disputes. In recent years, many innovations have occurred in highway construction. The atmosphere within the industry is highly charged with optimism, uncert...

In this paper we introduce SCARE the Spatial Cultural Abductive Reasoning Engine which solves spatial abduction problems (Shakarian, Subrahmanian, and Sapino 2009). We review results of SCARE for activities by Iranian-sponsored “Special Groups” (Kagan, Kagan, and Pletka 2008) operating throughout the Baghdad urban area and compare these findings with new experiments where we predict IED cache s...

The historical and ongoing lead (Pb) contamination caused by the 20th-century use of leaded gasoline was investigated by an analysis of bottom sediment in eight small rural reservoirs in eastern Kansas, USA. For the reservoirs that were completed before or during the period of maximum Pb emissions from vehicles (i.e., the 1940s through the early 1980s) and that had a major highway in the basin,...
