Innovative Strategies to Protect Concrete Bridge Decks and Cross-Laminated Timber Structures through the Use of Impermeable Overlays

Creator:: Haynes, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Bridges are a vital component of transportation infrastructure in the United States, and the continual maintenance and preservation of bridges is critical to maintaining their structural capacity and maximizing service life. One of the most significant issues faced by concrete bridges is the infiltration of moisture from the roadway surface...

An Empirical Study of Work-zone Safety and Mobility Using Surveys and Anonymous User Generated Trip Information

Creator:: Fiawoyife, Kenneth K.
Abstract:: The two primary considerations for highway work-zones are its effect on commuter mobility and worker safety which are often spoken of together. However, it must be noted that they often conflict with each other. For example, traffic control plans that reduce travel speed in work-zones improve both commuter and worker...

Quantifying the Safety and Mobility Benefits of Connected Vehicle Technologies under Varying Levels of Market Penetration and Traffic Volume : An Agent-Based Modeling Framework

Creator:: Abdulsattar, Harith M.
Abstract:: The advancement of the cutting-edge technologies of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) hold promises to reshape the future of the transportation system. The concept of connected (CV) and connected automated vehicles (CAV) technologies are live examples of the future transportation. Vehicle communication technology is expected to impact conventional traffic conditions....

An Agent-based Evacuation Modeling of Underground Fire Emergency

Creator:: Xu, Yue
Abstract:: Increasingly congested surface transportation network in urban areas and grow-ing land values make underground transportation systems more attractive for high-ways (i.e., tunnels) and metro system compared to other options [1]. An underground transportation system can preserve the land above for recreational parks, commer-cial buildings, residential homes, or other purposes while...

Crowdsourcing Data-driven Development of Bicycle Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) : Microscopic and Macroscopic Scales

Creator:: Chen, Chen
Abstract:: While riding bicycles has been promoted for its health, economic, and environmental benefits, it also complements other modes to complete a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation system. However, the dramatic increase of bicycle usage in the U.S. is accompanied by a growth of bicycle crashes. The U.S. Department of Transportation,...

Student Engagement : Exploring How and Why Students Engage In- and Out-of-Class

Creator:: Pascoe, Jason J.
Abstract:: Student engagement in a course plays a vital role in a student’s ability to process and construct knowledge. Student engagement research has investigated how students engage in and out of the classroom on a macro scale, through observation and survey data collection of large student populations, which lack focus on...

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...

Interactive Genetic Algorithms for watershed planning : an investigation of usability and human-centered design

Creator:: Piemonti, Adriana Debora
Abstract:: Degradation of watersheds is a major concern in areas where adverse climate effects and unsustainable use of the natural resources have caused extensive stresses to watershed systems (e.g., increased floods, increased droughts, worsened in-stream water quality) through the years. While considerable efforts are being made to generate technical solutions that...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Stochastic Characterization of Highway Capacity and Its Applications

Creator:: Dong, Shangjia
Abstract:: Highway capacity has traditionally been treated as deterministic. In reality, however, capacity can vary from time to time and location to location due to inclement weather, various driving behavior, traffic incident, bottleneck and workzone. This thesis aims to characterize the stochastic variations of highway capacity, and explore its applications. The...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Knowing Concepts in the Social and Material Context of Engineering Practice

Creator:: Bornasal, Floraliza
Abstract:: It is expected that information taught in the context of school will ultimately transfer to workplace settings. To support this transition, educators and researchers advocate for organizing foundational ideas, or concepts, in specific domains of knowing. In the domain of transportation engineering, knowing of concepts, which include "big ideas" such...
