Innovative Applications of Real-World Vehicle Trajectories Collected with a Radar Vehicle Detection System

Creator:: Simpson, Ellen J.
Abstract:: Left turn movements are considered to be the highest risk movements through an intersection, and can result in head on, angle, or side impact crashes. The flashing yellow arrow (FYA) for use as a permissive left turn phasing indication is relatively recent, first appearing in the 2009 edition Manual on...

Tsunami Simulation Using OpenSees : Validation of Bridge Response and Exploration of Shallow Water Flow

Creator:: Cressman, Luke R.
Abstract:: The finite element software framework, OpenSees, has been used by researchers to simulate the response of structural and geotechnical systems to earthquake loading. Implementation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) has made it possible to simulate hydrodynamic forces through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in OpenSees. To validate the FSI implementation...

Improving Safety on Construction Sites by Using Real Time Sensor Data to Monitor Worker Field-of-View and Proximity to Hazards and Reduce the Generation of False Positive Alarms

Creator:: Chan, Kelsey
Abstract:: The construction industry is infamously recognized for having jobsites identified as hazardous working environments due to workers-on-foot commonly functioning at dangerous heights and in close proximity to other construction entities, among other reasons. These hazardous operations result in an increased risk of worker injuries and fatalities caused by fall hazards...

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...

An Interdisciplinary Agent-based Evacuation Modeling Framework: Seeking Convergence of Social, Natural, and Engineered Systems to Improve Life Safety in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

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...

Normal acceleration characteristics of the leading vehicle in a queue at signalized intersections on arterial streets

Creator:: Zhu, Hong
Abstract:: Normal acceleration characteristics of passenger cars provide valuable information for various aspects of transportation engineering, including use in the geometric designs of intersections, freeway ramps, passing lanes, acceleration lanes, turning bays, or in the development of traffic simulation or fuel consumption models. However, the data used in previous studies are...

Enhancing Detection of Marine Debris with Polarimetric Imagery

Creator:: Herrera, Frederick Kyle
Abstract:: Marine debris is a chronic and increasingly pervasive problem for coastal regions around the world. Debris poses environmental risks, threats to wildlife, and degradation of the natural environment. Recent research has shown the advantages of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) for detection and recognition of marine debris, including the ability to...

Developing safety performance functions for 4-leg single-lane roundabouts based on Oregon data : a case study

Creator:: Zheng, Jianfei
Abstract:: Roundabouts have become an alternative for traditional intersections due to the safer operational performance. Previous research has provided crash modification factors (CMFs) as a criterion based on before-after studies as to evaluate the safety performance of roundabouts. One drawback of assessment based on crash modification factors, however, is that a...

Wind induced torsional fatigue behavior of truss bridge verticals

Creator:: Keller, Philipp
Abstract:: The Astoria-Megler Bridge is a 6.6 kilometer (4.1 mile) long bridge, connecting Oregon and Washington on US 101, with a continuous steel truss main span of 376 m (1232 ft). It is the second longest main span bridge of this type in the world. Due to vortex shedding, some of...

Devising Theatre: Experience as Art

Creator:: Parham, Anne A
Abstract:: Any work of literature is a product of its time revealing truths about its culture. My thesis explores how pre-selected inspiration, personal experiences, and current events play a role in the devising process of a script. The inspiration for this particular devised play is Letters to a Young Poet by...
