Analysis on transport mode choices of school children in Colombo District, Sri Lanka

Damsara, P; De Silva, D; Sirisoma, N [Conference-Abstract]

The increase in the usage of private transport modes for school trips has become a major reason for traffic congestion in Colombo District during peak hours. Colombo District consists of 402 functioning government schools, ...
Applicability of standard density in QC and QA of asphalt surfacing

Rathnasiri, P; Mampearachchi, WK [Conference-Abstract]

The significance of quality control and quality assurance at the compaction operation in the asphalt pavement has long been recognized by the industry since the compaction maintains the volume of air in the asphalt, which ...
Application of data science technologies to take proactive decisions to control road crashes

De Silva, I; Perera, L [Conference-Abstract]

Traditionally, road traffic crash analysis and accident modeling resorted to regression models and discrete choice models. Many countermeasures have been identified and implemented but still, the number of crashes and ...
Application of intelligent transport system (ITS) in passenger boarding and alighting surveys

Vidanapathirana, C; Thilakshan, T; Sharic, S; Bandara, S [Conference-Abstract]

Bus passenger transportation essentially requires continuous planning, evaluation and upgrading to maintain its level of service. Necessary traffic data including passenger counts, bus stop locations and corresponding ...
Application of sub-ballast embedded with waste rubber tyres in rail infrastructure in Sri Lanka

Silva, PS; Nawagamuwa, U [Conference-Abstract]

Railway transportation has become one of the most popular modes for transporting freight and passengers all over the world due to factors such as increased road traffic on highways, urbanization, and population growth. ...
Applying Built – Operate - Transfer (BOT) systems for Sri Lankan expressways: a case study

Perera, AP; De Silva, D [Conference-Abstract]

Sri Lankan transport network had a massive development during the last decade experiencing highway infrastructure, with the utilization of foreign concessions and local government funds of the country. Road Development ...
Assessing the walk-score of walking paths in Kandy City area for better walking experience for the tourists

Wijeweera, KP; Dias, TWKIM [Conference-Abstract]

Walking has been always considered as a sustainable method of transportation which is more suitable for short-distance trips. The concept of “short distance trip” changes with the convenient maximum walking distance of ...
Axle load distribution characterization for mechanistic pavement design

Sumanasekara, S; Mampearachchi, W

As per the World Bank records of the year 2018, Sri Lanka had the highest road density among the South Asian countries with 173.9 km of roads per 100 square kilometres of land. Sri Lankan government reserves a considerable ...
Axle load distribution for mechanistic-empirical pavement design in Sri Lanka

Sumanasekara, S; Mampearachchi, W [Conference-Abstract]

The AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) method of pavement design seeks to combine physical causes such as stresses, strains, and deflections within a pavement structure and empirical mathematical models. The pavement responses ...
Barriers in adoption and operation of electric buses into the existing public transit network

Thilakshan, T; Sugathapala, T; Bandara, S [Conference-Abstract]

Transportation has been identified as a major contributor in terms of increase in air pollution and related impacts resulting in climate change and global warming amongst other threats to the world and people. The nature ...
Benchmarking: a tool to evaluate the performance of information and fare integration in a city

Joshi, G; Arkatkar, S; Dawda, N [Conference-Abstract]

Rapid urbanization, a rise in population, and a booming economy have stimulated the growth in cities and resulted in higher dependence on private vehicles for personnel mobility. This has raised issues over the sustainability ...
Civil Engineering Research Symposium 2021 (Pre Text)

Perera, HLK [Conference-Abstract]
Corridor level traffic management through variable messaging systems: a case study on east west links entering Colombo

Arunakirinathan, V; Premasiri, M; De Silva, D; Matsunuma, T [Conference-Abstract]

Increasing traffic volumes on the major road corridors result in building up traffic congestion during the peak hours. Even in a congested road network, some route options are relatively lower congested while some are ...
A data acquisition methodology for the development of local driving cycles

Gajanayake, S; Bandara, S; Sugathapala, T [Conference-Abstract]

Driving Cycles (DCs), the time speed profiles of a certain vehicle type for a given road segment can be considered as one of the main tools to quantify and to assess the performance in terms of fuel economy and emissions ...
Decision-making framework for effective trip planning based on travel time reliability

Vidanapathirana, C; Bandara, S [Conference-Abstract]

Decision making is a key element in trip planning. As the vehicle volumes on road networks increases, the uncertainty of traffic and roadside situations grows resulting in unreliable travel times. Hence, planning a trip ...
Demand-based roadside parking control strategy for a main road corridor

Dissanayake, M; Gamlath, I; Bandara, S [Conference-Full-text]

Overcrowding in parking lots near high-demand locations is common in any main urban road, where parking demand often exceeds supply and parking spaces are distributed unevenly. This study aims to develop an effective ...
