Model of operative monitoring of highway network conditions and highway structures characteristics

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Procedures for the assessment of highway structures

Bridges, earth-retaining walls and buried structures make up a substantial proportion of the fixed assets of the land-based transportation infrastructure within Europe. Little work has been done on the development of documents covering the assessment of highway structures compared to the design of new structures. This paper describes an approach to assessment developed through working groups 4 ...

VECTOR: Trajectory Analysis for Advanced Highway Monitoring

In a world that is increasingly reliant on automobiles, efficient management of the transportation network is a key functionality of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). A wide range of these ITS applications rely on the extraction of current data as well as historical information in order to perform appropriately. This work presents a novel computer vision based approach for traffic manag...

Matching Simulator Characteristics to Highway Design Problems

require revision after they are built. Driving simulators provide a promising approach to addressing this challenge because they make it possible to visualize new roadway designs as well as safely expose drivers to demanding situations without the expense of fully implementing the design (1, 2). Driving simulators also provide a means of conveying road design concepts to stakeholders through vi...
