Filter by Keyword34 report(s) found with software in the keywords field Truck crashes on steep downgrades caused by excessive brake heating is an ongoing concern for the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT). Crashes resulting from brake failure on downgrades cause a devastating toll on lives and property. To counter such crashes, WYDOT initiated a research project... The Fargo Moorhead MPO Travel Demand Model (TDM) is updated every five years to replicate new data and the advancements in the state-of-the-art in transportation modeling methods and techniques. The current model update reflects 2015 base year data. The four-step TDM include trip generations, trip distributions... Traffic congestion mitigation is one of the key challenges that transportation planners and operations engineers face when planning for construction and maintenance activities. There is a wide variety of approaches and methods that address work zone impacts, starting with simple equations, over spreadsheets... National Bridge Inspection Standards do not require documenting damage location during an inspection but bridge evaluation provisions highlight the importance of location to determining the structural impact of damage. Capturing damage location information using current inspection and documentation methods... The Advanced Traffic Analysis Center (ATAC) at North Dakota State University is responsible for updating and maintaining the Fargo-Moorhead Metro Council of Governments (FM Metro COG) Travel Demand Model (TDM) since the 2000 base year scenario. The model is updated every five years. The model is developed... PTV Traffic Platform (Sep 2011, MPC-10-229E) This report presents an overview of the PTV TrafficPlatform software, which is designed as a tool to help in the training process of traffic operations center (TOC) operators. TrafficPlatform is based on an integration of VISSIM microsimulation, VISUM macrosimulation, SQL database, and a user-friendly... This paper evaluates the impact of various I-15 reconstruction closure scenarios on the travelers in the Ogden area. The purpose of the research was to investigate the impact of the scenarios and facilitate decisions about future maintenance of traffic during the reconstruction. ATAC completed a major update of GF-EGF MPO's Regional Travel Model to account for transportation and socio-economic changes since the previous model update. The update also included an upgrade of the model software from Citilab's Tranplan to TP+, a more powerful modeling software. ATAC also converted... The objectives of the library of a Rural Transit Assistance Program (RTAP) are to promote the effective operation of public transit systems while efficiently utilizing public and private resources and to continually improve the quality and availability of resources and technical assistance to rural transit... This report describes a framework of software extensions that could be added to modest-priced scheduling software to improve the scheduling effectiveness for small to medium size paratransit agencies. The operations at nine paratransit agencies at various locations around the country were observed and... |
