Evaluation of the effectiveness of freeway traffic management systems using flow-occupancy diagrams and capacity analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Over the past decades environmental sustainability and mitigating congestion has been a significant challenge in urban areas in many countries. Freeway ...
Evaluation of temporary ramp metering for work zone safety
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Ramp metering has been successfully implemented in many states and studies have documented its positive mobility and safety benefits. However, there have been no studies on the use of ramp metering for work zones. This ...
Link travel time estimation based on connected vehicle probe data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Connected vehicle technology is a wireless system to support communication for enhancing safety and mobility. The thesis proposes a single-link connected ...
Insights into the first three diverging diamond interchanges in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This thesis aims to further the knowledge about diverging diamond interchanges (DDIs) by exploring several aspects of existing DDIs including performance measures, business surveys, bicycle and pedestrian issues found ...
Evaluation of J-turn design performance in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Research shows that a high percentage of crashes that take place on high-speed rural expressways occur at intersections with minor roads. One low-cost ...
Evaluation of mobility impacts of temporary ramp metering in work zones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Road maintenance has been growing in the United States and brings a variety of challenges to the transportation profession. Work zone congestion is one of the most important factors contributing to the delay and safety of ...
Effectiveness of work zone intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been developed to help relieve traffic congestion and improve safety on highways. Work zones are key areas ...
Use of incentive/disincentive contracting to mitigate work zone traffic impacts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Incentive/disincentive clauses (I/D) are designed to award payments to contractors if they complete work ahead of schedule and to deduct payments if ...
eHurricane Evacuation modeling - strategy evaluations and methodology enhancements
