Structural Performance Evaluation Of Dynamic Message Signs With Adhesive And Welded Joints, Ibin Amatya
Structural Performance Evaluation Of Dynamic Message Signs With Adhesive And Welded Joints, Ibin Amatya
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The ultimate objective of this study was to determine the structural performance of the Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) bonded with chemical adhesive in terms of ultimate strength and fatigue strength. To achieve this objective, this study first investigated the effects of various parameters, including humidity and temperature on tensile, shear, peel, and cleavage strength through small-scale tests of adhesive specimens with variation in specimen width. The tensile, shear, peel, and cleavage specimens were conditioned in a temperature-humidity controlled chamber prior to its testing. The tensile, shear, peel, and cleavage specimens with different widths were tested according to American Society for …
Evaluating The Impact Of Oocea's Dynamic Message Signs (Dms) On Travelers' Experience Using Multinomial And Ordered Logit For The Post-Deployment Survey, Taylor Lochrane
Evaluating The Impact Of Oocea's Dynamic Message Signs (Dms) On Travelers' Experience Using Multinomial And Ordered Logit For The Post-Deployment Survey, Taylor Lochrane
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of dynamic message signs (DMS) on the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) toll road network using the Post-Deployment DMS Survey analysis. DMS are electronic traffic signs used on roadways to give travelers information about travel times, traffic congestion, accidents, disabled vehicles, AMBER alerts, and special events. The particular DMS referred to in this study are large rectangular signs installed over the travel lanes and these are not the portable trailer mount signs. The OOCEA has added twenty-nine fixed DMS to their toll road network from 2006-2008. At the time of …
Evaluating The Impact Of Oocea's Dynamic Message Signs (Dms) On Travelers' Experience Using A Pre And Post-Deployment Survey, Jason Flick
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of dynamic message signs (DMS) on the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) toll road network using a Pre and Post-Deployment DMS Survey (henceforth referred to as "pre and post-deployment survey") analysis. DMS are electronic traffic signs used on roadways to give travelers information about travel times, traffic congestion, accidents, disabled vehicles, AMBER alerts, and special events. The particular DMS referred to in this study are large rectangular signs installed over the travel lanes and these are not the portable trailer mount signs. The OOCEA have been working over the past …
Assessment Of The Safety Benefits Of Vms And Vsl Using The Ucf Driving Simulator, Cristina Dos Santos
Assessment Of The Safety Benefits Of Vms And Vsl Using The Ucf Driving Simulator, Cristina Dos Santos
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have been working during the past few years on different strategies to improve freeway safety in real-time. An ongoing research at UCF has investigated crash patterns that occurred on a stretch of Interstate-4 located in Orlando, FL and created statistical models to predict in real-time the likelihood of a crash in terms of time and space. The models were then tested using PARAMICS micro-simulation and different strategies that would reduce the risk of crashes were suggested. One of the main recommended strategies was the use of Variable Speed Limits (VSL) which intervenes …
Evaluating The Impact Of Oocea S Dynamic Message Signs (Dms) On Travelers Experience Using The Pre-Deployment Survey, John Hill Rogers
Evaluating The Impact Of Oocea S Dynamic Message Signs (Dms) On Travelers Experience Using The Pre-Deployment Survey, John Hill Rogers
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of dynamic message signs (DMS) on the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) toll road network using the Pre-Deployment DMS Survey (henceforth referred to as "pre-deployment survey"). DMS are electronic traffic signs used on roadways to give travelers information about travel times, traffic congestion, accidents, disabled vehicles, AMBER alerts, and special events. The particular DMS referred to in this study are large rectangular signs installed over the travel lanes and these are not the portable trailer mount signs. The OOCEA is currently in the process of adding several fixed DMS on …
