Abstract:

<p>Transportation engineering has taken upon a new role; to empower the alternative modes of travel: walking, biking, and bus transit. In this new era, engineers are rethinking a network designed predominately for the automobile. The ultimate goal of this research is to create a process that can make a vehicle dominant corridor a desirable, livable thoroughfare by livability design and context sensitive performance measures. Balancing travel modes requires an account of vehicular traffic and the impact of reconfiguring existing conditions. The analysis herein is conducted by field data collect

Abstract:

<p>There can be environmental problems associated with using cement to stabilize soils. Thus, a substitute for cement in the stabilization of road base/subbase is desirable. A Geopolymer can be a good alternative for cement stabilization, as geopolymer produces fewer greenhouse gasses compared to cement. Soil-RAP-Geopolymer as road base and subbase material have been investigated in this research. The standard method of soil stabilization in Louisiana is soil-cement, hence 5% and 10% soil-cement was selected for the comparison. In addition to the physical and mechanical tests, the durability t

Abstract:

<p> Average annual daily traffic (AADT) is important in transportation engineering and planning, and although the State of Louisiana collects AADT on a regular basis on state-maintained highways, most parishes and smaller municipalities do not have the resources to collect AADT frequently. Because the roads under the jurisdiction of parishes and municipalities account for three-fourths of the entire state road network, a practical method to estimated AADT must be developed. Before model development, previous studies into AADT estimation and their results are to be further analyzed. Roadway

These operational differences require light rail specific crash prediction equations to better predict crash numbers at light rail crossings. The goal of this r

Abstract:

Continuously monitoring and automatically identifying existing problems in traffic signal operation is a challenging and time-consuming task. Although data are becoming available due to the adoption of emerging detection technologies, efforts on utilizing the data to diagnose signal control are limited. The current practices of retiming signals are still periodic and based on several days of aggregated turning movement counts. This dissertation developed a framework of automatic signal operation diagnosis with the aim to support decision-making processes by assessing the signal control and ide
