background & aim: increasing economic role of medicinal herbs in recent society and complexity of modern technologies in production (planting and harvesting), transportation, storage, processing, quality evaluation, distribution, marketing and consumption of these products require a thorough understanding of their physical properties. coefficient of friction of plant on the various surfaces...

The practice of transportation engineering and planning has evolved substantially over the past several decades. A new paradigm for transportation engineering education is required to better engage students and deliver knowledge. Simulation tools have been used by transportation professionals to evaluate and analyze the potential impact of design or control strategy changes. Conveying complex t...

Transportation has been one of the essential areas within civil engineering since its early days. In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of ASCE, this paper presents a review of developments in research, education, and practice in transportation engineering. The review is based primarily on the issues of the Journal of Transportation Engineering over the past several decades. Main topics inc...

Transportation has historically had a major influence on cities their locations, growth and form. Civil engineers were the leading public servants in construction of railway and transit systems. With diversification of transportation and, particularly, growth of highways, the solutions to urban transportation have become extremely complex. Instead of only building new facilities, it is now nece...
