Abstract:
By considering the thirtieth highest hourly volume (30HV) as the design hour volume, this study reexamines a commonly used method of predicting the 30HV as a function of the annual average daily traffice (AADT) volume. Based on Alberta's highway system data, some common limitations of the traditional 30HV–AADT model are pointed out. Also included in the analysis presented is a proposed alternative model which utilizes July/August traffic data to estimate the design hour volume. The alternative model appears to provide more accurate prediction results and it also eliminates the need of subjectively classifying the roads into various groups as required by the 30HV–AADT method. Key words: annual average daily traffice, design hour volume, highway design, road classification, traffic volume counts, transportation.

Abstract:
As the field of computer networking has evolved, so too has the use of these networks. Modern networks must be capable of performing more than simple data transfer. To be of value, a network must be able to handle the convergence of different types of traffic: voice, video, and data; and the Quality of Service requirements associated with each type. This thesis performs a detailed analysis of the different types of traffic, the two primary transmission media, fiber optical and copper based connections, and the connection-orientation technology to route the traffic. Presented in this thesis is a fiber-based hybrid network consisting of Asynchronous Transfer Mode at the backbone layer and Frame Relay and Passive Optical Networking at the local access layer. The proposed Universal Traffic Network, based on present-day technology, is a viable solution to the challenge imposed by the convergence of different traffic types.

Abstract:
Air traffic demand is growing. New methods of airspace design are required that can enable new designs, do not depend on current operations, and can also support quantifiable performance goals. The main goal of this thesis is to develop methods to model inherent safety and control cost so that these can be included as principal objectives of airspace design, in support of prior work which examines capacity. The first contribution of the thesis is to demonstrate two applications of airspace analysis and design: assessing the inherent safety and control cost of the airspace. Two results are shown, a model which estimates control cost depending on autonomy allocation and traffic volume, and the characterization of inherent safety conditions which prevent unsafe trajectories. The effects of autonomy ratio and traffic volume on control cost emerge from a Monte Carlo simulation of air traffic in an airspace sector. A maximum likelihood estimation identifies the Poisson process to be the best stochastic model for control cost. Recommendations are made to support control-cost-centered airspace design. A novel method to reliably generate collision avoidance advisories, in piloted simulations, by the widely-used Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is used to construct unsafe trajectory clusters. Results show that the inherent safety of routes can be characterized, determined, and predicted by relatively simple convex polyhedra (albeit multi-dimensional and involving spatial and kinematic information). Results also provide direct trade-off relations between spatial and kinematic constraints on route geometries that preserve safety. Accounting for these clusters thus supports safety-centered airspace design. The second contribution of the thesis is a general methodology that generalizes unifying principles from these two demonstrations. The proposed methodology has three steps: aggregate data, synthesize lean model, and guide design. The use of lean models is a result of a natural flowdown from the airspace view to the requirements. The scope of the lean model is situated at a level of granularity that identifies the macroscopic effects of operational changes on the strategic level. The lean model technique maps low-level changes to high-level properties and provides predictive results. The use of lean models allows the mapping of design variables (route geometry, autonomy allocation) to design evaluation metrics (inherent safety, control cost).

Full text
Abstract:
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) has been employed for pavement design by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) since 2009 and has generated efficient pavement designs with a lower cost. It has been demonstrated that the success of MEPDG implementation depends largely on a high level of accuracy associated with the information supplied as design inputs. Vehicular traffic loading is one of the key factors that may cause not only pavement structural failures, such as fatigue cracking and rutting, but also functional surface distresses, including friction and smoothness. In particular, truck load spectra play a critical role in all aspects of the pavement structure design. Inaccurate traffic information will yield an incorrect estimate of pavement thickness, which can either make the pavement fail prematurely in the case of under-designed thickness or increase construction cost in the case of over-designed thickness. The primary objective of this study was to update the traffic design input module, and thus to improve the current INDOT pavement design procedures. Efforts were made to reclassify truck traffic categories to accurately account for the specific axle load spectra on two-lane roads with low truck traffic and interstate routes with very high truck traffic. The traffic input module was updated with the most recent data to better reflect the axle load spectra for pavement design. Vehicle platoons were analyzed to better understand the truck traffic characteristics. The unclassified vehicles by traffic recording devices were examined and analyzed to identify possible causes of the inaccurate data collection. Bus traffic in the Indiana urban areas was investigated to provide additional information for highway engineers with respect to city streets as well as highway sections passing through urban areas. New equivalent single axle load (ESAL) values were determined based on the updated traffic data. In addition, a truck traffic data repository and visualization model and a TABLEAU interactive visualization dashboard model were developed for easy access, view, storage, and analysis of MEPDG related traffic data.

Robinson, W. Evaluation of thin flexible pavements under simulated aircraft traffic. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), December 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/39161.

Full text
Abstract:
A full-scale airfield pavement test section was constructed and trafficked by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to evaluate the performance of relatively thin airfield pavement structures. The test section consisted of 16 test items that included three asphalt pavement thicknesses and two different aggregate base courses. The test items were subjected to simulated aircraft traffic to evaluate their response and performance to realistic aircraft loads and to evaluate the effect of reductions in tire pressure on thin asphalt pavement. Rutting behavior, pavement cracking, instrumentation response, and falling weight deflectometer response were monitored at selected traffic intervals. The results of this study were used to extend existing Department of Defense pavement design and evaluation techniques to include the evaluation of airfield pavement sections that do not meet the current criteria for aggregate base quality and minimum asphalt concrete surface thickness. These performance data were used to develop new aggregate base failure design curves using existing stress-based design methodology.

Full text
Abstract:
Using data from an enumerated network of worldwide flight connections between airports, we examine how sampling designs and sample size influence network metrics. Specifically, we apply three types of sampling designs: simple random sampling, nonrandom strategic sampling (i.e., selection of the largest airports), and a variation of snowball sampling. For the latter sampling method, we design what we refer to as a controlled snowball sampling design, which selects nodes in a manner analogous to a respondent-driven sampling design. For each design, we evaluate five commonly used measures of network structure and examine the percentage of total air traffic accounted for by each design. The empirical application shows that (1) the random and controlled snowball sampling designs give rise to more efficient estimates of the true underlying structure, and (2) the strategic sampling method can account for a greater proportion of the total number of passenger movements occurring in the network.

Abstract:
This report summarizes activities undertaken to support and ensure that the Illinois Department of Transportation utilizes the best demonstrated available technology for design and construction of full-depth hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements and HMA pavements on rubblized Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP). To achieve this goal, the researchers reviewed pavement design and special provisions for full-depth asphalt and rubblization projects as well as full-depth asphalt and rubblization project performance via condition surveys and deflection measurements. They also modified design inputs as needed from the review of literature and responded to specific issues related to full-depth asphalt and rubblization design and construction. The researchers studied 32 rubblization projects on the interstate system and found this rehabilitation technique is providing good to excellent performance that exceeds design expectations. They provided input on proposed changes to full-depth hot-mix asphalt pavement on rubblized PCCP specifications as well as provided input on the RoadTec 1105e material transfer device. Analysis of traffic speed deflectometer data obtained on several hot-mix asphalt and rubblized pavements resulted in the development of analysis algorithms.

Full text
Abstract:
While modern overpass bridges are safe against collapse, their functionality will likely be compromised in case of design-level or beyond design-level earthquake, which may generate excessive residual displacements of the bridge deck. Presently, there is no validated, quantitative approach for estimating the operational level of the bridge after an earthquake due to the difficulty of accurately simulating residual displacements. This research develops a novel method for probabilistic evaluation of the post-earthquake functionality state of the bridge; the approach is founded on an explicit evaluation of bridge residual displacements and associated traffic capacity by considering realistic traffic load scenarios. This research proposes a high-fidelity finite-element model for bridge columns, developed and calibrated using existing experimental data from the shake table tests of a full-scale bridge column. This finite-element model of the bridge column is further expanded to enable evaluation of the axial load-carrying capacity of damaged columns, which is critical for an accurate evaluation of the traffic capacity of the bridge. Existing experimental data from the crushing tests on the columns with earthquake-induced damage support this phase of the finite-element model development. To properly evaluate the bridge's post-earthquake functionality state, realistic traffic loadings representative of different bridge conditions (e.g., immediate access, emergency traffic only, closed) are applied in the proposed model following an earthquake simulation. The traffic loadings in the finite-element model consider the distribution of the vehicles on the bridge causing the largest forces in the bridge columns.
