Artificial Intelligence and Mobile Phone-Based Pavement Marking Condition Assessment and Litter Identification (Nov 2025, CTIPS-25-002)
Biao Kuang and Jianli Chen

Regular inspection of transportation assets is essential to ensure pavement markings and pavements remain in good, clean, and safe condition. Our previous MPC-funded project (Report No. MPC-668) demonstrated the strong potential of using artificial intelligence (AI) and mobile phone imagery to identify...

Seamless Comparative Modeling of Natural Hazards Using the Material Point Method (Oct 2024, MPC-24-568)
Wael Abdalrwaf, Ibrahim Bouzaid, and Paul Heyliger

A theoretical framework is developed for applying the material point method (MPM) to problems of modeling natural hazard effects on several representative geometries. Following an outline of the general methodology, in which the structural system is replaced by a combination of integrated Lagrangian...

Seismic Vulnerability and Emergency Response Analyses of UDOT Lifelines (Apr 2010, MPC-10-217)
Aleksandar Stevanovic and Bhagavan Nadimpalli

Earthquakes damage transportation infrastructure. In addition to replacement and repair costs for damage to transportation structures, large earthquakes can increase time delays resulting from a network component's loss of function. Damage to the network can severely disrupt traffic flows for several...
