Filter by Keyword18 report(s) found with optimization in the keywords field Environmental concerns due to fossil fuel consumption and emissions drive transportation industry to shift towards low-impact and sustainable energy sources. Public transit system, as an integral part of multimodal transportation ecosystem, has been supporting such a shift by exploring the adoption of... In recent years, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems have been gaining increasing popularity because of their effectiveness in improving urban mobility. The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is the primary public transit provider in Salt Lake City and has implemented a 10.8-mile BRT route along 3500/3300 South... An experimental research study was conducted to evaluate the constructability, durability, and visibility of alternative pavement marking materials and application practices in South Dakota and to assess the cost-effectiveness of pavement marking alternatives for use on concrete and asphalt pavements.
The... Providing acute medical care outside of the hospital, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is crucial in rural environments where hospitals are not close by and are difficult to access. This study used the National EMS Information System (NEMSIS) South Dakota data to exemplify the establishment of data-driven... The main objective of rural roadway pricing is revenue generation, rather than elimination of congestion externalities. This report presents a model that provides optimum tolls accounting for pavement deterioration and economic impacts. This model contains multiple components, because imposing tolls... Traffic Monitoring Stations on Interstate 15 in Utah's Salt Lake City metropolitan region are placed at approximately 0.5 mile spacing. It is time to replace and upgrade the detectors that constitute these Traffic Monitoring Stations. The 0.5 mile spacing owes little to logical design. Where the new... This research developed a methodology to optimize roadway access intersection design using an expert system to guide design in accordance with published criteria, a graphical multi-criteria evaluation system, which revealed marginal impacts of changing design parameters across three objective functions... This study was initiated by the Bridge Branch of the Wyoming Transportation Department to provide direction in optimizing CAD usage. Critical issues in managing computing resources in a design operation are staffing, maintaining, and financing a highly dynamic system. Managing such a system properly... |
