Guidelines for road diet conversions

Stamatiadis, Nikiforos; Kirk, Adam [Conference-Full-text]

Road diets, which convert four-lane highways to three-lane cross sections, are an innovative solution to address mobility and safety concerns under budgetary constraints. These improvements can assist in the development ...
Applicability of ridesharing using paratransits: a case study from a university community in Sri Lanka

Jayasinghe, RMTTB; Sivakumar, T [Conference-Full-text]

Recent increase in number of singly hired para-transit usage in Sri Lanka favors ride shared paratransit modes. Applicability of ridesharing is studied in a selected corridor by examining the attitude of the passengers ...
Optimization of multi-objective outbound logistics operation

Dharmapriya, USS; Kumarage, Amal S [Conference-Full-text]

Distribution, one of major outbound logistics functions draws attention due to high cost incurred. This study investigates the planning of a real time distribution operation achieving three objectives simultaneously. ...
Stabilization of expansive clay soil using buton rock asphalt the other utilization of buton rock asphalt

Rusbintardjo, Gatot [Conference-Full-text]

Subgrade is the lowest layer of the pavement that must eventually support all the loads that come onto the pavement structure. Therefore, it is essential to make sure that the layer is stable and has sufficient shearing ...
Failure analysis of a semi structural pavement using a mechanistic tool – case study for a provincial road

Jayarathna, KARN; Mampearachchi, WK [Conference-Full-text]

Pavement design is a vital part in new road construction and in rehabilitation projects. Conventional flexible pavements are layered systems with high stress intensity on top and low intensity at the bottom. AASHTO method ...
Prediction of unconfined compressive strength of old asphalt concrete using multiple regression

Jaritngam, Saravut; Somchainuek, Opas; Chantruthai, Piti; Ratanavaraha, Vatanavongs; Taneerananon, Pichai [Conference-Full-text]

The recycle of old asphaltic concrete material (OAC) with cement additive is a relatively new pavement improvement method in road geotechnical engineering in Thailand. This paper describes the test results of recycled ...
A study of road network development prioritization at Lembata district - east nusa tenggara province, Indonesia

Djakfar, Ludfi; Anwar, M Ruslin; Ignasius A, Gerardus [Conference-Full-text]

The objective of the study was to prepare a recommendation on how to set up a road network construction programming in Lembata District, Indonesia given such constraints as budget, types of construction, and so on. There ...
New methodology for developing driving cycle(s) for Sri Lanka; case study, Colombo, Sri lanka

Galgamuwa, Uditha; Perera, Loshaka; Bandara, Saman [Conference-Full-text]

Even though driving cycles have been adopted around the world in different type of applications, the data needed for each steps is costly and time consuming. Majority of the Developing countries do not have systematic ...
Prioritizing transport infrastructure projects at early stages of projects

Gamalath, Isuru; Perera, Loshaka; Bandara, Saman [Conference-Full-text]

Investment on transport infrastructure is a significant component in a country’s budget as it is identified as a key factor to facilitate the country’s development. At the same time demand for transportation is positively ...
Audiometric assessment of urban road traffic noise affected persons: a case study of Surat, India

Tandel, BN; Macwan, JEM [Conference-Full-text]

Among all of the sources responsible for noise pollution, traffic related sources are of great environmental concern and increasing level of discomfort in urban areas with increasing traffic concentration. It will be a ...
Numerical analysis of horn effect reduction on porous pavement

Zhang, Lei; Ong, Ghim Ping; Fwa, Tien Fang [Conference-Full-text]

Porous pavement is often seen as an effective engineering solution to reduce traffic noise. It works by reducing the horn effect of tire/road noise generation using its acoustic absorbing ability. Sound energy dissipates ...
Modeling nonlinear suspension system for improved braking distance estimation

Yang, Jia Sheng; Fwa, Tien Fang; Ong, Ghim Ping [Conference-Full-text]

Braking distance of a vehicle is an important safety consideration in highway geometric design. Braking distances have been commonly estimated based on vehicle wheel loads and assumed tirepavement friction. The use of ...
Accident prediction model for highw ays with rest area by using poisson and binomial regression model

Tipakornkiat, Chalat [Conference-Full-text]

Currently, rest area positively impacts on road users in terms of business points and information providers; however, the important task of rest area is reducing the number of road accident cause of fatigue. In the past, ...
Initial development of Indonesian motorcycle rider behaviour

Putranto, Leksmono Suryo; Anjaya, Ivan Skyler [Conference-Full-text]

The use of motorcycle in Jakarta increased rapidly in the last ten years. This is due to lack of sufficient public transport services. The public tried to overcome the congestion problem individually by using motorcycle. ...
Driving behavior: traffic risk perception and intentions to commit driving violations in Iran

Tabibi, Zahra; Chahnoeei, Hoda Hashemi [Conference-Full-text]

Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death and injuries. Violation of traffic rules is one of the reasons for accident involvement. The aim of the current study was to predict aberrant driving behavior by traffic ...
Factors affecting road accidents in urban areas: a case study of Nakhon Si Thammarat municipality

Yaifa, Trakulsanti; Piti, Chantruthai; Orawan, Raya; Pichai, Taneerananon [Conference-Full-text]

This paper describes a method for identity hazardous road location in Nakhon Si Thammarat municipality and the findings regarding the causes of the traffic accidents. The ranking of study locations were selected by using ...
The evolution of criteria for identifying black spots and recommendations for developing countries

Nguyen, Huy Huu; Taneerananon, Pichai; Koren, Csaba; Luathep, Paramet [Conference-Full-text]

The general purpose of black spot identification is to identify high accident frequency locations on a road network to improve road safety. The next task is to sift through these locations to select the particular locations ...
