Creator:: Ghosh, Sukallyan
Abstract:: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to significant transformations in global mobility patterns, primarily driven by stay-at-home orders and economic shutdowns. These measures resulted in a substantial decline in travel activities worldwide. In the United States, there was a notable reduction in travel demand, with a corresponding decrease in...

Creator:: Kim, Jaekook
Abstract:: Considering the deadly impacts of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes on road safety, many previous studies have put in efforts to find the determinants of CMV crash injury severities. However, studies examining the impact of the different number of lanes on CMV crash injury severities are lacking. Besides, the importance...

Creator:: Olsen, Aleah G.
Abstract:: Passenger security screening is a continuously evolving process and not much is known about how passengers perceive its effectiveness in keeping air travel safe. The provided thesis consists of two manuscripts that expand the literature on passenger perception of safety through the application of advanced econometric techniques. This thesis aims...

Creator:: Jacob, Tabeel A.
Abstract:: This work investigates the in-tube condensation of low global warming potential (GWP) zeotropic refrigerant mixtures R448A, R450A, R452A, R454B and R454C. These refrigerants have been proposed for a wide range of commercial heating, ventilation, air-conditioning applications, but their heat and momentum transport phenomenon were not well understood. Thus, in this...

Creator:: Obaid, Ihsan A.
Abstract:: The resistance of asphalt concrete pavement to distresses such as fatigue cracking and permanent deformation is governed by how well the structure can resist loading under a variety of traffic and climate-related conditions. Asphalt binder type and content are typically the variables that pavement engineers can manipulate to render the...

Creator:: Chen, Chen
Abstract:: Social scientists have studied people's responses to disasters for many decades, and behavioral commonalities and variations are summarized in different mental schemes/models in disaster studies. Integrating those findings from social science into evacuation simulation can improve simulation accuracy and eventually better support decision-making and disaster preparedness. However, this kind of...

Creator:: Zubaidi, Hamsa AN
Abstract:: The rapid growth in the number of roundabouts raises some significant research challenges, especially around safety performance and evaluation in the U.S. Despite the safety advantages that roundabout geometric design brings, crashes still occur. While operationally roundabouts are good at preventing severe crashes, they may lead to more less severe...

Creator:: Velasquez, Brianna N.
Abstract:: The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the restrictions implemented in response to it (e.g., stay-at-home orders, social distancing mandates, business closures) had unprecedented effects on the trucking industry. The pandemic prompted the first significant overhaul of federal hours-of-service (HOS) regulations in over 15 years. Prior to the...
