Enhancement & Field Evaluation of an Advanced Clearance Measurement System for Highway Structures, Including Generation of Clearance Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report presents enhancements to STRUCTVIEW, a vehicle-based system for the measurement of roadway structure profiles. This second-generation system uses a scanning laser rangefinder to measure various structure and roadway features from a vehicle traveling at highway speed. Measurement capabilities include horizontal and vertical clearances, which can be used to support issuing permits based on vehicle height. The clearance dimensions extracted from STRUCTVIEW sensor data can be exported, e.g. using eXtensible Markup Language (XML), for generation of clearance diagrams.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Control of Crank-Slider Mechanism with Multiple Clearance Joints
In the current study, behavior of crank-slider mechanism with single and multiple clearance joints are analyzed. Using Lankarani-Nikravesh theory for estimating discontinuous contact forces in clearance joints, relevant systems have been mathematically modeled. Through numerical simulations, perturbations in response of mechanisms with clearance joints have been analyzed. Effects of increasing ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the clearance characteristics of liposomes in the human nose by gamma-scintigraphy
The nasal cavity possesses many advantages as a site for drug delivery, such as, ease of administration, applicability for long term treatments and a large surface area for absorption. One important limiting factor for nasal drug delivery is the limited time available for absorption within the nasal cavity due to mucociliary clearance. Several drug delivery systems including different kinds of ...

متن کاملEvaluation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimating Formulas in Diabetic Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Objective: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. As extremely accurate methods of GFR measurement (i.e. Inulin clearance) are expensive and Time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the GFR measurement. Here we have ...
