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 ...
Time-dependent response of flat plate structures under high sustained load
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
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 RC structures are designed ...
Investigation of transportation innovations for food delivery and truck platoons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Studies find that low-income areas are underserved by food retailers and have less access to healthy food, contributing to health disparities. A section of this thesis examines micromobility, drones, and ridesharing that ...
Simulator and field study of effectiveness of speed management methods in work zone in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The objective of this research is to examine the effectiveness of six speed countermeasures in reducing vehicle speeds in work zones. Speed countermeasures such as law enforcement (active and passive), speed trailer ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Recycled plastics in asphalt pavement: life cycle assessment and environmental impact implications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
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 perspective. The plastics modified ...
Waste plastic storage stability impact toward asphalt binder and mix performances
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The reutilization of waste plastic in asphalt binders and mixtures has become a popular field of research as the global scientific community looks to find avenues for the effective and efficient recycling of waste plastic. ...
Leveraging AI to assess inequities in pavement maintenance and rehabilitation strategies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Pavement maintenance and repair (M&R) is an important social need that should be accessible to all regardless of social or economic circumstances. In this project, pavement condition is analyzed through the use of machine ...
