This research presents the development of an economical Level-of-Service (LOS) estimation model using GPS data in a mixed traffic condition, with a specific focus on defining clusters based on the categories within the ...
Developing a methodology to build a network plan for an alternative rail system with fewer implications for future demand changes is a challenging yet critical task in transportation planning. This research proposes a ...
Non-motorized transport is important for sustainable living. The features of sustainable transport are comfortable, safe, and effective in relation to economic and energy use and minimize environmental pollution. With ...
The usage of private vehicles has grown rapidly, especially in urban areas of developing countries, which has led to many environmental and socio-economic issues such as congestion, high fuel consumption, and air pollution. ...
Travel demand forecasting is the prerequisite to transportation system design and policy planning. Trip generation comes first in the four-step travel demand forecasting process. Generally, Trip generation for land use is ...
Concerns regarding the sustainability of the environment and the quality of air are becoming more prevalent as a result of the heavy reliance on fossil fuels to meet the ever-rising global energy demand. The transport ...
As connected vehicle technologies become increasingly prevalent, offering groundbreaking capabilities for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications, the promise for improved traffic safety, ...
Parking congestion is a major issue in urban areas globally, particularly in areas with high-demand. However, less crowded parking spaces can be discovered in low-demand areas, and sometimes, parking demand varies significantly ...
In many countries in the South Asian region, the traffic is significantly different, including aspects such as the variety of vehicles, driving behaviours and traffic volumes from that of many other countries. The Motorcycle ...
Traffic congestion is a major problem in most of the cities around the world; hence, there is a need to find effective solutions to minimize prevailing excessive traffic. The nature of traffic is diverse in developing ...
Climate change poses a challenge to the resilience of road networks. In recent years, the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather conditions have made road networks highly vulnerable to natural disasters. ...
The curing of concrete is essential for cement hydration, which is a series of chemical reactions that require an adequate, constant water supply and stable, proper temperatures over time. Curing is maintaining moisture ...
Recently, there has been an increased frequency and intensity of extreme climate events such as flooding and landslides and this has significantly increased the vulnerability of road infrastructures to potential climate ...
Sri Lankan Road network consists over 117,000 kms of roads which are comprised of national roads and highways (10.4%), provincial roads (16.3%) and the remaining are local roads. In general, local roads are managed by local ...
The ability to measure and report the level of the quality of public transport service provided is important for customers to assess the level of service they receive and for the transit agency to assess the effectiveness ...
This research revisits the issue of determining the appropriate number of bus stops and optimal spacing for a bus route, which is crucial for enhancing transit efficiency and passenger satisfaction. The study adopts a ...
The pursuit of innovative methods to enhance various aspects of the transportation field continues to evolve over the years. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have played a pivotal role in integrating next-generation ...
An efficient, reliable, and cost-effective public transport service plays a vital role in the development of the country’s economy in many ways. According to National Transport Statistics, bus transport services contributed ...
Urban public bus transport systems, especially direct routes, face challenges of inefficiency and a limited capacity to meet passengers’ needs. In response, transfer-based solutions are being explored to enhance service ...
