The Components And Benefits Of An Advanced Surface Arterial Traffic Management System, Ted M. Andrews, Kumares C. Sinha Jan 1994

The Components And Benefits Of An Advanced Surface Arterial Traffic Management System, Ted M. Andrews, Kumares C. Sinha

JTRP Technical Reports

Traffic congestion has become an increasing problem on major surface arterial roadways. Demand for accessibility to adjacent land uses yields increased vehicular turning movement activity at driveways and intersections. As turning and cross-road traffic volumes increase, the need for traffic signalization will eventually be warranted. When numerous, independently operating traffic signals are present on a given arterial roadway, adverse effects can result. First, continous movement along the arterials at a desirable speed may not be assured. Second, vehicular delay will increase because of the slower operating speeds and increased number of stops. Third, safety can be threatened as poor traffic …

An Indot Lessons Learned Constructability Program And Integrated Multimedia System, Bob G. Mccullouch, Robert Michael Patty Jan 1994

An Indot Lessons Learned Constructability Program And Integrated Multimedia System, Bob G. Mccullouch, Robert Michael Patty

JTRP Technical Reports

To improve constructability, experienced design and construction engineers often select processes and develop details that require less labor, equipment, or management resources to build. These innovative ideas, enabling circumstances, and their effect on the construction process are not usually recorded in a reusable format. Without such a mechanism, recalling this experience under the appropriate circumstances, or transferring the technology to new management has generally not happened. Further, civil engineers are generally educated to optimize cost by minimizing the material quantity. Through experience gained after graduation, they are expected to pick up options for engineering impact on the labor, equipment, and …

Guidelines For Permitting Overloads; Part 1: Effect Of Overloaded Vehicles On The Indiana Highway Network, Sameh Mohamed Zaghloul, Thomas D. White Jan 1994

Guidelines For Permitting Overloads; Part 1: Effect Of Overloaded Vehicles On The Indiana Highway Network, Sameh Mohamed Zaghloul, Thomas D. White

JTRP Technical Reports

Closed form analysis is commonly used to analyze pavement structures. This type of analysis assumes linear elastic material properties and static loading conditions. In reality, pavement materials are not linear elastic materials. For example, asphalt mixtures are viscoelastic materials and cohesive soils are elastic-plastic materials. Also truck loads are moving loads. The difference between the closed form analysis assumptions and the actual pavement conditions leads to significant differences between measured and predicted pavement response. A study has been conducted at Purdue University to develop a procedure for permitting overloaded trucks in Indiana. This study was funded by the Indiana Department …

Pavement Drainage And Pavement Shoulder Joint Evaluation Numerical Analysis Of Infiltration And Drainage In Pavement Systems, Reynaldo David. Espinoza, Philippe L. Bourdeau, Thomas D. White

JTRP Technical Reports

The continuing loss of pavement performance observed in the U.S. transportation infrastructure system raises the issue of the subdrainage design. Experience with the Indiana highways indicates that the lack of adequa the sub-drainage is probably a major cause of pavement distress. In order to provide highway engineers with a methodology to analyze the water migration and drainage into pavement systems a new numerical model has been developed. The numerical scheme is a finite difference formulation of the equations of water flow in unsaturated porous media. The resulting system of equations used is nonlinear and state-of-the-art numerical techniques have been used …

Novel Techniques For The Detection And Estimation Of Three-Wave Coupling With Application To Human Brain Waves, David Lee Sherman, Michael D. Zoltowski Oct 1993

Novel Techniques For The Detection And Estimation Of Three-Wave Coupling With Application To Human Brain Waves, David Lee Sherman, Michael D. Zoltowski

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Composite linear and quadratic systems produce three-wave coupling when stimulated by random-phase input sinusoids. Due to the non-linearity of the system the output frequencies are arithmetically related to the input. Using third order cumulant statistics and their associated bispectrum, techniques are devised based on phase-insensitive matrix structures for detection and frequency estimation of coupling frequencies. The separation of the third order cumulant series into symmetric and skew-symmetric portions allows us to exploit their characteristic eigendecompositions for frequency estimation. After symmetrization, biphases can be easily extracted as coefficients of the cumulant sequence. Using a generalized eigenvector representation, we can relate symmetric …
