Travel Demand Forecasting To Predict Parking Behavior At University Campuses: A Case Study At The University Of Texas At Tyler, Sohil Paudel
Civil Engineering Theses
With limited capacity, space, and funds to expand parking facilities, there is a dire need to better understand parking behavior at university campuses so that universities can better utilize the limited resources available. One methodology, travel demand forecasting, could be used to predict parking demand at a university campus. For this study, the University of Texas at Tyler campus was used as a case study. Each parking lot on campus was assigned to one parking zone based on the nearest classroom building. Next, pneumatic tube counters were used to collect the number of originating and departing vehicles from each zone. …

Masonry structures are common throughout the world. Adobe is a masonry material found in the southwestern states of the United States in residential structures. Adobe is mostly used in brick form, where locally collected sand, clay, and silt are combined with natural fibers and water to create unfired bricks. The natural fibers provide the primary reinforcement of these bricks, and aid in the drying process, helping the bricks dry evenly. While this material has been used as a residential building material for many hundreds of years, much is still not understood regarding its mechanical properties, as they are dependent on …
