Numerical Studies on Fluid-Structure Interaction and Applications

Creator:: Chen, Ming
Abstract:: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) has been of significant research interest worldwide over the past several decades because of its variety of applications in both offshore and coastal engineering. Researchers analyzing FSI systems rely heavily on experimental tests in model scale in laboratories or large-scale sea trials. However, these tests are often...

New acoustic emission applications in civil engineering

Creator:: Schumacher, Thomas
Abstract:: Non-destructive testing methods and applications have become of increasing interest due to the worldwide aging and deteriorating infrastructure network. In the field of Civil Engineering, bridges and bridge components as well as non-structural elements such as roadway pavements for example, are affected. In particular, the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique offers...

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...

An Evaluation of the Random-Parameter and Latent Class Methods for Heavy Vehicle Injury Severity and Crash Rate Analysis : An Idaho Case Study by Roadway Classification

Creator:: Anderson, Jason
Abstract:: This thesis provides a comparison of advanced econometric frameworks to account for unobserved factors in crash reported data (also referred to as unobserved heterogeneity) while identifying contributing factors by roadway classification for heavy vehicle injury severity and crash rates. The presented thesis provides two manuscripts that expand the literature regarding...

Roundabout Safety: Econometric and Machine Learning Models and Applications

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...

Estimating the impacts of a vehicle mileage fee using a discrete continuous choice modeling approach

Creator:: Valluri, Divya
Abstract:: The gasoline tax, the main source of highway revenue is no longer a viable source of funding to maintain the existing highways. Many states in the United States are already using revenues from other sources such as sales tax and income tax to fund new highways. Oregon along with many...

Spatial and Temporal Effects of Large Truck-Involved Crash Injury Severities : A Mixed Logit Analysis

Creator:: Pahukula, Jasmine
Abstract:: Large truck-involved crashes have a significant impact on both the economy and society. They are associated with high injury severities, high crash costs and contribute to congestion in urban areas. Past studies have investigated the contributing factors of large truck-involved crashes, however a study isolating the spatial and temporal effects...

Evaluation of Driver Behavior during Right Turn Maneuvers at Signalized Intersections: Mitigation of Driver-Pedestrian Conflicts with a Right Turn Flashing Yellow Arrow

Creator:: Jashami, Hisham
Abstract:: Accommodating motor vehicles that are turning (left or right) at signalized intersections requires a careful understanding of the safety and efficiency of design and operational variables. Turning vehicles are the primary collision risk for non-motorized road users at signalized intersections. When turning movements need to be controlled, proper driver response...

Examining the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Driver Behavior and Injury Severity: Econometric Methods and Applications

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...

A validation of the Oregon State University driving simulator

Creator:: Brown, Lacy S.
Abstract:: Driving simulation is widely accepted as a safe, effective, and economical alternative for investigating driver behavior in a variety of contexts. However, in order to apply simulator-based research results to real-world settings, the performance measures acquired through simulated driving experiments must first be validated. This research was aimed at validating...
