Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall systems represent by far the most widely used type of retaining wall used by the transportation industry in the United States. These retaining walls have three primary ...

Engineering design and analysis often rely on simplified models. These models are convenient and practical for use in routine applications. However, they have many inherent limitations. Most significant among these ...

Many transit corridors experience significant delays and are often operating at or near capacity; A single mode may not be able to provide either the required capacity or improved Level of Service (LOS) in major, heavily ...

Walking from origins to transit stops, transferring between transit lines and walking from transit stops to destinations—all add to the burden of transit travel. Transfer, in particular, has been shown to produce an ...

Hydroplaning occurs when water pressure builds up in front of and under a moving vehicle tire resulting in an uplift force sufficient to separate the tire from the pavement. The loss of steering and the drag force produced ...

It has become important to improve planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance standards and manage road system efficiently. There are number of management systems such as pavement management system, road ...

Work trip is not flexible trip as like shopping trip where are the travel destination has choice characteristic. In the urban area, the shopping trip is one of the biggest trip generation, and a push factor of urban ...

Adaptive traffic signal control typically feeds the real-time traffic data, collected by the sensors, into a build-in controller to produce the timing plans. Thus, it can provide signal-timing plans in response to real-time ...

Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh and the home of 15 million people, is subjected to acute traffic congestion on a regular basis resulting in lost productivity, fuel wastage, commuter frustration and environmental ...

In the past, many research studies have analyzed crash data to identify various factors contributing to older-driver over-involvement in crashes. However, it is also necessary to identify other types of safety related ...
