Frontiers provide an opportunity for one jurisdiction to remedy inequities (and even exploit them) in highway finance by employing toll-booths, and thereby ensuring the highest possible share of revenue from non-residents. If one jurisdiction sets policy in a vacuum, it is clearly advantageous to impose as high a toll on non-residents as can be supported. However, the neighboring jurisdiction c...

This study aimed to investigate the relative performance of two models (negative binomial (NB) model and two-component finite mixture of negative binomial models (FMNB-2)) in terms of developing crash modification factors (CMFs). Crash data on rural multilane divided highways in California and Texas were modeled with the two models, and crash modification functions (CMFunctions) were derived. T...

A Ithough the number of traffic accidents each year has been substantially reduced over the past decade, highway crashes continue to be a serious problem in the United States. In 1983 approximately 42,400 persons died in highway crashes, and 2 million suffered nonfatal injuries. The 217. reduction in annual highway fatalities and the 367. reduction in the highway fatality rate (fatalities/lOO m...

This article adopts a family of surrogatebased optimization approaches to approximate the response surface for the transportation simulation input– output mapping and search for the optimal toll charges in a transportation network. The computational effort can thus be significantly reduced for the expensive-toevaluate optimization problem. Meanwhile, the random noise that always occurs through ...

Real-time mobility is important for many real-world applications, e.g., transportation, urban planning, given different level administrative jurisdiction. However, most of the existing work focuses at small scale with limited data samples (e.g. region or city level with samples over all the taxis). Recently, with upgrades of transportation infrastructures, we have new opportunities to capture r...

This study aims to determine the effect of convenience and usefulness product on interest in using Mandiri e-Toll people Makassar City. The population this are e-Money card users. number samples used as many 100 a questionnaire. data analysis technique is multiple linear regression Statistical Product Service Solution (SPSS) v.23. Multiple equation produces Y = 0.301 + 0.792X1 - 0.192X2. result...

Recently, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbers had been proposed to improve EM environment of Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) systems for Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) applications. In this paper, the ray-tracing method, which has been widely used to study the radio wave propagations on terrain profiles, is employed to study EM environment when wave absorbers are installed on the s...
