This paper discusses the continuation of the research work started in 2004. The previous results have been published both in ASPRS and ISPRS conferences. Now we intend to emphasize the latest developments and extended application areas of the system. Due to the increasing demand of the transportation authorities for rapid, accurate data acquisition about the road pavement, a mobile mapping syst...

Abstract National roads are the main arteries in road transport infrastructure. Therefore, all agencies or authorities responsible of infrastructure, pay attention to management systems. Albania is experiencing an increase infrastructure investments and maintenance this network. There have been some attempts establish national secondary These systems attempt achieve different objectives, such a...

Modeling pavement performance by combining field and experimental data The accurate prediction of pavement performance is important for efficient management of the surface transportation infrastructure. By reducing the error of the pavement deterioration prediction, agencies can obtain significant budget savings through timely intervention and accurate planning. The goal of this research was to...

Spatial analysis techniques are widely used as an effective approach for prone road traffic accident classification. This paper will present the results of empirical behavioral testing on spatial classification using Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. The performance MCDM is compared arterial and collector types processed with multicriteria parameters. was chosen because it can be a d...

BACKGROUND Though insulin resistance (IR) is common in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), there is no agreement as to what surrogate method of assessment of IR is most reliable. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In 478 women with PCOS, we compared methods based on fasting insulin and either fasting glucose (HOMA-IR and QUICKI) or triglycerides (McAuley Index) with IR indices derived from glucose and insuli...

In situ measurements by the Low Earth Orbital (LEO) satellites, such as CHAMP, GRACE, and C/NOFS satellites have shown that International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model has shortcomings in describing solar activity variation of topside electron density. particular IRI overestimates measured densities ionosphere during very low reached last minimum (2008–2009). We used Alouette ISIS sounder da...

In determining certain infrastructure rehabilitation needs, it is sometimes important to consider user perceptions along with physical measures of infrastructure condition. Pavement roughness is one such case. A critical determinant of public satisfaction, user perception of pavement roughness can potentially play a critical role in the allocation of resources to competing highway resurfacing p...
