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...

Unobserved Heterogeneity and Spatial Correlation: Statistical and Econometric Analyses of Heavy-Vehicle Hard Braking and Crash Frequency by Crash Type

Creator:: Anderson, Jason C.
Abstract:: This dissertation provides a comparison of statistical and econometric frameworks, using a previously unused freight data source, to study crash frequency by crash type and heavy-vehicle hard braking in Oregon. Hard braking can serve as a proxy for several factors, one of which is safety. Therefore, with the hard braking...

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...

Chemical transformation of rice husk ash for sustainable, constructable, and durable binary cementitious system

Creator:: Prasittisopin, Lapyote
Abstract:: The production of cement and concrete results in the production of large amounts of CO₂ emissions which can have significant negative environmental impacts. Using supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) as a cement replacement is an effective solution to reduce these negative environmental impacts, as most SCMs are waste by-products from other...

Prediction of low temperature cracking of asphalt concrete mixtures with thermal stress restrained specimen test results

Creator:: Kanerva, Hannele K.
Abstract:: Low temperature cracking is attributed to tensile stresses induced in an asphalt concrete pavement that develop when the pavement is subjected to a cold temperature. Cracking results in poor ride quality and a reduction in service life of the pavement. Low temperature cracking has been predicted by regression equations, mechanistic...

Selection and performance evaluation of a test method to assess thermal cracking resistance of asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Creator:: Jung, Duhwoe
Abstract:: Thermal distress in asphalt concrete pavements is a widespread problem around the world. Thermal cracking can be divided into two modes of distress: low temperature cracking and thermal fatigue cracking. Low temperature cracking results from extremely cold temperatures; thermal fatigue cracking results from daily temperature cycles. Low temperature cracking is...

Factors influencing physical educators' inclusion behaviors towards students with autism spectrum disorder

Creator:: Morgan, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: The inclusion of students with disabilities in general physical education (GPE) classes has become a concept and practice that is expected if not always understood. A review of inclusion in physical education literature suggested that GPE teachers possess less than favorable feelings towards the inclusion of students with disabilities in...

Field and Numerical Investigation of Pavement Vehicle Interaction Related Excess Fuel Consumption and Delamination

Creator:: Estaji, Mostafa
Abstract:: With ever-increasing number of vehicles actively using the state and national roadway network, transportation-related fuel consumption and consequent pavement structural damage rises. In this dissertation, the impact of material-induced dissipated energy mechanisms in asphalt and concrete pavements were analyzed using field measurements in California and finite element modeling of pavement...

Developing Performance-Based Specifications to Improve the Fatigue Life of Asphalt Pavements in Oregon

Creator:: Sreedhar, Shashwath
Abstract:: Asphalt concrete fatigue cracking is recognized as a major distress mode in the U.S. The widespread nature of this distress and the data from agency Pavement Management Systems (PMS) suggest that it is an issue with asphalt mixture design and production processes and is not a problem specific to certain...

Integrating learning and search for structured prediction

Creator:: Doppa, Janardhan Rao
Abstract:: We are witnessing the rise of the data-driven science paradigm, in which massive amounts of data - much of it collected as a side-effect of ordinary human activity - can be analyzed to make sense of the data and to make useful predictions. To fully realize the promise of this...
