This publication, which describes reconstruction experiences, gives case studies which document the varied projects, and gives specific ideas for the management of major highway reconstruction. This report also discusses the use of incentive/disincentive provisions for early contract completion. Ways to expedite expressway and bridge rehabilitation are summarized, and a policy statememt is provided on the application of traffic management actions. Abstracts and summaries are given of recently published literature in the area of corridor traffic management for temporary flow disruptions.
Prepared by the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of ASCE. This TCLEE Monograph studies seven large lifeline organizations that have undertaken significant seismic improvement programs. In spite of often-cited barriers to natural hazards risk reduction, these organizations demonstrate a variety of ways to start and sustain risk-reduction programs. In these economically and politically robust organizations, top-level managers and high-level inside technical seismic advocates learned from the damage done by past earthquakes to their systems or similar systems and from research and educational programs. Then, each group developed an overall view of its system's earthquake vulnerabilities and devised adaptable, incremental seismic implementation programs.
This handbook, which was developed in recognition of the need for the compilation and dissemination of information on advanced traffic control systems, presents the basic principles for the planning, design, and implementation of such systems for urban streets and freeways. The presentation concept and organization of this handbook is developed from the viewpoint of systems engineering. Traffic control studies are described, and traffic control and surveillance concepts are reviewed. Hardware components are outlined, and computer concepts, and communication concepts are stated. Local and central controllers are described, as well as display, television and driver information systems. Available systems technology and candidate system definition, evaluation and implementation are also covered. The management of traffic control systems is discussed.
... Covers topics such as freeway incident detection and response, traffic congestion alleviation methods, improvement of motorist education programs and motorist services; discusses how public agencies and private organizations can implement an effective incident management system ...
Contains summaries of current U.S. intelligent transportation systems projects.
In recent years the applications of advanced information technologies in the field of transportation have affected both road infrastructures and vehicle technologies. The development of advanced transport telematics systems and the implementation of a new generation of technological options in the transport environment have had a significant impact on improved traffic management, efficiency and safety. This volume contains contributions from scientific and academic centres which have been active in this field of research and provides an overview of applications of AI technology in the field of traffic control and management. The topics covered are: -- current status of AI in transport -- AI applications in traffic engineering -- in-vehicle AI
