A Sociotechnical Systems Analysis Of The Approval Process For A Complex Public Works Proposal, James C. Pyne Apr 1997

A Sociotechnical Systems Analysis Of The Approval Process For A Complex Public Works Proposal, James C. Pyne

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

This research applied sociotechnical systems theory to explore the process used by two elected bodies to decide upon adoption of a complex technical engineering proposal. The research used a modified sociotechnical systems conceptual framework that was developed by Pava (1983) for application to non-traditional work settings. Pava applied the conceptual framework to what he termed non-routine office work which is characterized by non-linear conversion flow, multiple, concurrent conversion processes and vocational separatism (Pava, 1983).

The research was designed as a multiple case study of two town councils each undertaking a decision process to approve or reject a public works proposal …


A Cultural Resource Investigation Of Two Louisiana-Pacific Corporation Parcels, Susie Van Kirk Dec 1996

A Cultural Resource Investigation Of Two Louisiana-Pacific Corporation Parcels, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

During the month of October, November, and December 1996, a Cultural Resources Investigation was conducted on two Louisiana-Pacific Corporation parcels located at Big Lagoon, Humboldt County, California (see Map 1). The survey was requested by Jamie Heltsley of Ron Hunt Surveying & Forestry, Arcata, California. Proposed project plans include the combining of four separate assessors parcels into two assessor's parcels.

The purposes of this investigation were to (1) locate and record project area cultural resources; (2) to evaluate the significance of study area cultural resources; (3) to assess potential impacts to cultural resources resulting from project related operations; (4) to …


The Crash Simulation And Analysis Of The Friendly Mobile Barrier, Bryan Edward Marz Oct 1996

The Crash Simulation And Analysis Of The Friendly Mobile Barrier, Bryan Edward Marz

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Mass transportation is an ever increasing alternative being researched and evaluated in today's society. With the increase of demand for such transportation, an increase in safety is also needed. This research entails the analysis of a new idea, The Friendly Mobile Barrier, in railroad crossing barrier design. The design is meant to prevent any approaching vehicle from crossing a railroad track and be survivable for those impacting the barrier.

Research conducted involves the crash simulation and analysis of the Friendly Mobile Barrier. The Friendly Mobile Barrier was analyzed structurally using finite element analysis. An advanced lumped-mass mathematical model software, Crash …


Flexible Low-Cost Automated Scaled Highway (Flash) Laboratory For Studies On Automated Highway Systems, Pushkin Kachroo, Kaan Ozbay, Robert G. Leonard, Cem Unsal Oct 1995

Flexible Low-Cost Automated Scaled Highway (Flash) Laboratory For Studies On Automated Highway Systems, Pushkin Kachroo, Kaan Ozbay, Robert G. Leonard, Cem Unsal

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

This paper addresses the development of a flexible low-cost automated scale highway (FLASH) laboratory which is intended to serve as a catalyst for accelerating the development of many intelligent vehicle highway system (IVHS) concepts. It also highlights the significance of the laboratory for the research, evaluation, and testing of automated highway system (AHS) configurations, architectures, designs and technologies. This laboratory, using small scale standardized vehicles will serve as a test bed for the economical development and evaluation of various hardware, software, and management systems before full scale testing and deployment. The laboratory will provide the capability to test day and …
