Glulam Timber Bridges for Local Roads
… most common type of bridges on South Dakota (SD) local roads are prestressed precast double-tee bridges. Currently, there is only one double-tee girder manufacturer in South Dakota (SD). In an attempt to provide more bridge type selection options for local governments, a study was performed at …

GIS-Based Pavement Maintenance Management Model for Local Roads in the UK
Roads represent a major long-term infrastructure investment. A well-managed and maintained road is therefore fundamental to the safety and availability of the road network as a whole. In carrying out pavement maintenance functions, Local Road Authorities face growing pressures arising from …

Network-Level Safety Prediction Models for Long-range Transportation Planning
… to predict the number of collisions on major and local roads at the planning stage. In addition to traditional estimates of traffic demand, the developed integrated RTM-NCPM framework also predicts the number of collisions for base and future planning horizons. The obtained results show promise in …

Enhancing roll stability and directional performance of articulated heavy vehicles based on anti-roll control and design optimization.
… manoeuvrability when travelling at low speeds on local roads and city streets. On the other hand, these vehicles exhibit unstable motion modes at high speeds, including jack-knifing, trailer sway and rollover. From the design point of view, the low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability …

An Integrated Agent-Based Microsimulation Model for Hurricane Evacuation in New Orleans
… (i.e., interstate highways and causeways) and local roads. A vehicle-based microsimulation model was used to simulate the highway part of the road traffic, whereas the local part of the road traffic simulation utilized an agent-based model. The integrated microsimulation model was used to …

Intervening in the trip to work. A system dynamics approach to commuting and public health
… effects for commuters, the wider community, and local and global ecosystems. Existing evidence about harms is sufficient to seek a commuting mode shift for environmental, health and equity benefits. Although some of these benefits are already considered in transport planning to a varying extent, …

Application of the peat archive as tool in environmental chemistry
… make sure sampling sites were not influenced by local roads, we analyzed the concentration decrease in the air from the roads into the bogs. Aerobic or anaerobic degradation of PCBs and PAHs did not occur over a 3-year period in incubation experiments. The heterogeneity of concentrations within a …
