Over two years after launching The Guide to Canadian Museums and Galleries, the Cana-dian Heritage lnformation Network (CHIN) initiated the redesign of this collaborative, online resource dedicated to promoting Canadian museums. This project involved more than a simple facelift. It involved interdisciplinary research to define the user interface redesign that might transform the Guide into a si...

ABSTRACT NETWORK 2001 has been developed to provide transportation planners with additional flexibility in analyzing road systems. While NETWORK 2000 was limited to minimizing costs, NETWORK 2001 can use weighted objective function components to minimize road system length. This paper presents NETWORK 2001 and the new algorithm implemented in the program with its applications. Total open road l...

Due to co-location and spatial proximity, deteriorating water infrastructure (WI) transportation (TI) have complex interdependencies, including both physical dependency from road pipe, operational pipe road. On one hand, traffic load is not only a dominant factor for the degradation of but may also be an important contributing sudden failure underneath co-located due extreme propagated stress. ...

the optimum road spacing has been studied by many researches. it is an important step of forest road network planning. the goals of this study are determining the optimum road spacing in kheiroudkenar forest of nowshahr in northern iran and study of effect of kind of skidder on skidding cost and road spacing. continues time study method was used to determine the production rate of taf and timbe...

Heavy goods vehicles not only have a non-marginal impact on the performance of the road network in terms of traffic congestion, exposure to risk and accidents, they also provide an essential service in the distribution chain. Both sellers and purchasers of goods rely on an efficient transport system to ensure that goods are available at a time and location that meets the demands of end users. A...

This paper presents a method for predicting the optimum initial service life and optimum periods of resurfacing for flexible pavements. The method is based on consideration of total pavement costs including the cost of initial construction, routine maintenance and major maintenance and increased road user costs resulting from the maintenance operations. Standard economic analyses techniques wer...

The surge of road pricing projects in the U.S. and around the globe over the past fifteen years has been enabled by a set of new communication and transportation technologies. There is currently a wide array of technical configurations ranging from systems based on “tried and true” shortrange radio communications to experimental systems relying on global positioning satellites. These technologi...

OBJECTIVE To identify and estimate the population costs and effects of a selected set of enforcement strategies for reducing the burden of road traffic injuries in developing countries. DESIGN Cost effectiveness analysis based on an epidemiological model. SETTING Two epidemiologically defined World Health Organization sub-regions of the world: countries in sub-Saharan Africa with very high ...
