FRP for Transportation and Civil Engineering Infrastructure: Reality and Vision

This paper reviews the reality and vision of the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in civil engineering and transportation infrastructure applications. Due to their superior characteristics these materials have become a commonly accepted construction material for both new construction and for rehabilitation and strengthening of existing bridges and structures. This paper...

Transportation Planning and Modeling

Temporal planning for transportation planning and scheduling

Many problems in transportation can be represented as flow problems, and can be optimally solved using efficient linear programming techniques [BIIM77] [BGAB83]. But in some cases this approach is seriously oversimplified. If the problem includes dependencies between different operations, planning is necessary. If the system parameters change dynamically, the assumptions on which flow models ar...
