The areas such as emergency services, transportation, security, visitor guiding, etc. are the subjects of 3D network analysis applications. Especially, the problem of evacuating the buildings through the shortest path with safety, has become more important than ever in a case of extraordinary circumstances (i.e. disastrous accidents, massive terrorist attacks) happening in complex and tall buil...

This paper reviews commonly used parameters and prediction models for assessing the permeability of granular soils. Following a review published soil permeability, dimensional homogenous transformation model a-priori estimation was calibrated using large database (CG/KSAT/7/1278) comprising data wide range soils sourced from over 50 publications. The new requires knowledge void ratio gradation ...

This paper summarizes a performance evaluation of the automatic incident detection algorithm deployed by many traffic management centers across the State of Texas, USA after a few years of implementation in the field. This analysis is the first step towards improving performance of incident detection which will eventually help optimizing freeway incident management practices at these TMCs. To c...
