Highway construction projects are one of the most important construction projects in the world. Therefore predicting the time of these kinds of projects is important. Basically highway projects are including few activities which are repeating along the horizontal direction. One of the best methods for scheduling these types of projects is linear scheduling method. The repetitive nature of the h...

This article aims to proactively predict high-risk accident areas in a new highway project terms of its technical and geometric characteristics. The purpose this study is provide road managers with better safety assessment tools for the vehicle occupant category. methodology used combines International Road Assessment Program (IRAP) Geographic Information System (GIS). IRAP program enables calc...

Traffic accident data are usually noisy, contain missing values, and heterogeneous. How to select the most important variables to improve real-time traffic accident risk prediction has become a concern of many recent studies. This paper proposes a novel variable selection method based on the Frequent Pattern tree (FP tree) algorithm. First, all the frequent patterns in the traffic accident data...

Highway system is experiencing increasing traffic congestion with fast-growing number of vehicles in metropolitan areas. Implementing management strategies such as utilizing the hard shoulder an extra lane could increase highway capacity without construction work. This paper presents a method determining optimal condition and speed limit opening shoulder. Firstly, states are clustered using K-M...

Information theory and signal detection theory techniques were used to assess the validity of police reported traffic accident data. The validity criteria were the data and conclusions of muiti-disciplinary accident investigation teams who investigated the same traffic accidents. The results indicated that the accident level variables reported by the police with least reliability were vertical ...
