Perceived Effectiveness of Highway Work Zone Intrusion Mitigation Technologies: A State DOT Perspective

Creator:: Kadalli, Manjunath Veeresh
Abstract:: Highway work zones are extremely dangerous environments due to the presence of workers near high-speed traveling vehicles. This dynamic environment results in a disproportionate number of accidents that cause injury and casualty to both drivers and workers due primarily to vehicular intrusions into work zones. Several emerging work zone intrusion...

Three Topics on Coastal Hazards : Propagation, Transformation, and Impact

Creator:: Ko, Harrison T.
Abstract:: An understanding of natural coastal hazards is essential for improving resilience of coastal communities. Effective management of coastal hazards relies on prediction tools and mitigation structures that have been designed to handle the dynamic coastal system. This dissertation is a collection of manuscripts that cover a diverse range of fundamental...

Durability and Performance of High Early Strength Concrete for Structural Bridge Deck Overlays

Creator:: Smith, Jeremy A.
Abstract:: High early strength concrete (HESC) allows for faster construction with less impact on traffic, thus reducing the indirect costs associated with a project. There are multiple methods for achieving early strength, such as alternative cements like calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) or chemically accelerated portland cements. The standard criteria for an HESC...

A State of Practice of Safety and Big Data in Transportation Engineering Curricula and in Transportation Design : How is it Used and How can Academic Offerings Better Represent Industry Practices?

Creator:: Castro, Edgar D.
Abstract:: Improving safety education could contribute to the preparation of better professional engineers. Safety topics are not holistically embedded in transportation course curricula. This thesis explores the current state in which safety is being incorporated in transportation course curricula in terms of design and compares the uses of safety data in...

Are watershed management plans selected and preferred by stakeholders considering current climate conditions robust against climate change scenarios? A sensitivity study of stakeholders spatially-explicit preferences

Creator:: Cannady-Shultz, Kenneth R.
Abstract:: In the light of the changing climate, the importance of designing effective watershed management plans that are likely to be implemented is becoming ever more important. This research introduces a new concept, consensus, for incorporation into stakeholder-guided interactive optimization of watershed management plans. User preferences were mathematically simulated based upon...

Mapping Nearshore Bathymetry with Spaceborne Data Fusion and State Space Modeling

Creator:: Forfinski-Sarkozi, Nicholas A.
Abstract:: Despite numerous techniques for measuring and estimating water depth, bathymetry in the nearshore zone is notoriously difficult to map. Dangerous sea states, noisy environmental conditions, and expensive survey operations, particularly in remote areas, contribute to the difficulties of obtaining data along the coast. Global datasets, derived mainly from satellite altimetry...

Modeling Unobserved Heterogeneity and the Injury Severities of Truck Drivers in Run-Off-Road (ROR) Crashes: Econometric Methods and Applications

Creator:: Al-Bdairi, Nabeel Saleem Saad
Abstract:: Recent statistics regarding large truck crashes reveal that fatality rates of large trucks per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and fatality rates per 1,000 registered vehicles are higher than those for passenger vehicles. These statistics underscore the need for greater efforts by safety professionals to help mitigate the impacts...

Preliminary Assessment of Driver Parking Decisions From A Heavy Vehicle Driving Simulator To Inform Curb Management Decisions

Creator:: Liu, Yujun
Abstract:: As e-commerce and urban deliveries spike, there is an increasing demand for curbside loading/unloading space. However, commercial vehicle drivers face numerous challenges while navigating dense urban road networks. Previous literature on the topic of how commercial vehicle drivers make choices about when and where to park is scarce, and data...

The Number of Lanes and Crash Injury Severities of Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers: Advanced Econometric Models and Applications

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...

Equilibrium and Non-equilibrium Thermodynamic Modeling of Cement Pastes Containing Supplementary Cementitious Materials

Creator:: Glosser, Deborah B.
Abstract:: Thermodynamic modeling of cementitious material is an established tool for predicting the hydrated phase assemblages, pore solution pH, and pore solution composition of mixtures of various chemical compositions and water-to-binder (w/b) ratios. However, traditional thermodynamic techniques have major limitations for modeling mixtures containing supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), and when modeling...
