A Modified Noise-prediction Model for Highways with Significant Motorcycle Traffic
Authors Ali Mansourkhaki, PhD Majid Haghiri, MSc Mohamadjavad Berangi, MSc Abstract One of the undesirable outcomes of the rapid travel of a large number of vehicles on highways is the high level of noise pollution. Tehran is the most noise-polluted city in...
Research on Evaluation of Airport Service Quality Based on Improved AHP and Topsis Methods
Authors Hang Zhou, PhD Yue Li, MSc Yang Gu, MSc Abstract The aim of this paper is to propose a multi-criteria decision-making approach, combining the ‘analytic hierarchy process’ (AHP) and ‘technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution’...
A Method to Evaluate Determinant Factors on Airport Check-in Level of Service
Author(s) Paula Sutherland Wallauer Rolim, MA Anderson Ribeiro Correia, Dr Giovanna Miceli Ronzani Borille, Dr Abstract Understanding how operational procedures and demand growth can influence the check-in level of service (LoS) is an important issue for...
Real-time traffic state predictor Based on Dynamic Traveller Behaviour
Author(s) Tiandong Xu, PhD Jinping Guan, PhD Yuan Hao, PhD Daniel (Jian) Sun, Abstract Real-time traffic state prediction is a crucial component of the practical applications of and existing theoretical research on active traffic management (ATM) systems....
Network Evaluation and Prioritisation of Rural Roads Using Vulnerability Analysis
Author(s) A. Modinpuroju, PhD C. S. R. K. Prasad, PhD Abstract The extent of a country's rural road network (RRN) is a major determinant of its economic activity and level of poverty. Connectivity to the rural population and the rest of the network are major...
Detecting Crash Hotspots Using Grid and Density-based Spatial Clustering
Author(s) Amin Ganjali Khosrowshahi, MSc Iman Aghayan, PhD Mehmet Metin Kunt, PhD Abdoul-Ahad Choupani, PhD Abstract Data mining techniques, specifically spatial clustering methods, are used to analyse crash data and find their spatial patterns. In the present...
Vertical Alignment Optimisation in Highway Design By Means of Mesh Adaptive Direct Search
Author(s) Eray Ozkan, PhD Hediye Tuydes-Yaman, PhD Soner Osman Acar, PhD Abstract Finalising the vertical alignment of a highway geometric design is a critical phase in a highway project and directly affects its construction cost. Generally, a vertical...
A Methodology for Measuring a Local Index of Public Transport Accessibility
Author(s) Khaled Al-Sahili, PhD Khalil Qaisi, MSc Abstract Increasing interest in sustainable development has underlined the importance of accessibility as a key indicator to assess public transport (PT) investments. In several developing countries,...
Effect of Environmental Factors on Performance of Jointed Concrete Pavements
Author(s) Dong-Hyuk Kim Jun-Hyeok Lee Ki-Hoon Moon, PhD Jin-Hoon Jeong, PhD Abstract This study investigated the distress conditions of test sections of concrete pavement that have been used for more than the design life of 20 years. The study was performed...
