AI-based framework for automatically extracting high-low features from NDS data to understand driver behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Our ability to detect and characterize unsafe driving behaviors in naturalistic driving environments and associate them with road crashes will be a significant step toward developing effective crash countermeasures. Due ... -
Fatigue and static behaviour of post-tensioned steel-concrete composite beams
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Strengthening steel and concrete composite (SCC) bridge superstructures using post-tensioned steel tendons offers many advantages. Since bridge structures are usually exposed to fatigue cycles, understanding the fatigue ... -
Interactive, multi-purpose traffic prediction platform using connected vehicles dataset
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Traffic congestion is a perennial issue because of the increasing traffic demand yet limited budget for maintaining current transportation infrastructure; let alone expanding them. Many congestion management techniques ... -
A Python-based GIS simulation of a water balance for wetland decision-making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Many efforts have been undertaken to restore, maintain, and remediate impacted and lost wetlands. Wetlands provide natural habitat for amphibians and significantly support the ecosystem. Researchers have dedicated their ... -
Recycled plastics in asphalt pavement: life cycle assessment and environmental impact implications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] This study is focused on exploring how the recycled plastics, when being used as an additive in the production of asphalt pavement, could impact the environment from a life cycle assessment ... -
Time-dependent response of flat plate structures under high sustained load
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] Reinforced concrete (RC) structures may be exposed to high levels of sustained stresses resulting from errors in construction or design, abnormal loading, and material degradation. Although most ... -
TMA (Truck Mounted Attenuators) alert system-development and testing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) play a crucial role in safety of work zones as they decrease the impact of the crashes, reduce fatalities and injuries, and increase safety. However, there are almost no solid solutions to ... -
Transport of invasive carp eggs and the effect of river turbulence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and grass (Ctenopharyngodon Idella) carps are important food sources in East Asian while considered an invasive species in North America due to ...
