Since partial deregulation of the railroad industry in 1980, rail rates have fallen in real terms, leading many observers to conclude that deregulation has been a success. Yet, previous studies of the effects of deregulation on aggregate rate levels are inconclusive in identifying deregulation as the...

 

Often in traditional design procedures, a designer sketches results which are based on computer applications and transmits this information via hardcopy to a drafter, who reenters it into a CAD system. The inefficiencies are clear and an obvious opportunity exists for productive gain. Recent work by...

 

This documentation includes detailed information on each subroutine used to draw the entities supported by UWGRAPH. These descriptions include the definitions of the arguments, an example of the subroutine usage, and a graphical illustration of the arguments. Compilation instructions are included for...

 

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...

 

Often, a traditional design procedure is used wherein a designer sketches results which are based on computer applications and transmits this information via hard copy to a drafter, who re-enters it into a CAD system. The inefficiencies are clear and an obvious opportunity exists for productive gain....

 

The finite strip method was used to develop an automated procedure for determining the distribution of load on highway bridges subjected to both standard truck loads and overload permit vehicle loads. The distribution factors obtained by this procedure are used in the design and load rating of highway...

 

This study examines consolidation of road services by local governments, and explores the optimal mix of roads for rural counties. A methodology for measuring economies in the provision of local road services is presented. This methodology is unique in two ways; 1) it better accounts for relevant variables...

 

The purpose of this project is to validate and implement computer-based statistical methods for the optimal placement of Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATR) on road sections to improve the overall efficiency and accuracy of Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) estimates. We developed two computer algorithims...

 

Trucking firms who rely on owner-operators to any significant extent will not achieve an advantage in a highly competitive industry if they do not understand their partners. But understanding them is only the first step in creating a competitive advantage. This understanding must be translated into a...

 

This research effort is concerned with developing certain policy guidance tools that can be used to generate information that may be used by policymakers in deciding the desirability and utility of employing certain high technology options in solving ground transportation congestion and other large scale...
