ABSTRACT
BUS ROUTE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY EVALUATION IN MILWAUKEE COUNTY
by
Ebtesam Hazbavi
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015
Under the Supervision of Professor Yue Liu
Public transit systems are expanding in the majority of cities in the United States due to the increasing numbers of people who use public transportation as their main commute facility. Evaluating the efficiency of public transit systems results in providing better services for the residents on one hand and reduces the unnecessary costs on the other hand.
In this research, the efficiencies of bus routes options in County are evaluated. After reviewing different literature, Fuzzy AHP …

Work Zone Illumination Design: Guidance Stratgies To Specify Appropriatework Zone Lighting Plan, Sherine Anani
Theses and Dissertations
Night construction is frequently used because it can better satisfy the primary traffic control objectives than daytime work. If night construction is used, the design of illumination plans should be analyzed and developed as part of the project development process.
There are fewer crews out working on the road in the winter, partly because of the conditions but also because the days are shorter and there’s not a lot of light by which to work.
In fact, the days can get short enough, especially as you go farther north, that even a normal day involves some “night work.” Construction work …
Economic Observations Using Origin And Destination Estimation Through Observed Traffic Counts, Joshua William Depies
Economic Observations Using Origin And Destination Estimation Through Observed Traffic Counts, Joshua William Depies
Theses and Dissertations
A relationship exists between the economy and the amount of traffic that is observed on
the nation’s roadways. Traffic patterns generally peak during times of economic
prosperity when people are spending more money and new homes and businesses are
being built. On the other hand, as the economy starts becoming more stagnant, people
travel less while home sales decrease and businesses close as fewer patrons shop.
What this thesis attempts to accomplish is to see if an Origin and Destination Estimation
technique is sensitive enough to pick up these economic trends of a region by using
traffic counts.
Two sets …
