Pavement Structural Capacity from Traffic Speed Deflectometer for Network Level Pavement Management System ApplicationTransportation Research Record - Tập 2673 Số 2 - Trang 456-465 - 2019
Mahdi Nasimifar, Senthilmurugan Thyagarajan, Sarah Chaudhari, Nadarajah Sivaneswaran
Structural number (SN) represents the structural capacity of a flexible pavement
system to sustain anticipated traffic and is among the structural indices most
commonly used by pavement design engineers in the U.S. Effective structural
number (SNeff) is an indicator of structural capacity of in-service pavement
sections and is conventionally estimated from nondestructive testing (NDT)

Simple Approach to Estimation of Pavement Structural CapacityTransportation Research Record - Tập 1652 Số 1 - Trang 198-205 - 1999
Stefan A. Romanoschi, J B Metcalf
The use of the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) as a tool for investigating
the structural strength of flexible and rigid pavements is now common. The
backcalculation of layer moduli is the primary technique for data
interpretation. This technique is cumbersome and expensive to apply to
low-volume roads. A simple way of relating the FWD surface deflections to the
performance of pavement structur... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative Analysis of Field Permeability Testing of Compacted Hot-Mix Asphalt PavementsTransportation Research Record - Tập 1946 Số 1 - Trang 147-156 - 2006
Jacques Menard, James A Crovetti
The in-place permeability of asphalt pavements has been the focus of recent
research as investigators try to establish links between pavement permeability
and performance. Previous research concluded that pavements with in-place air
voids exceeding 8% to 10% may be considered as excessively permeable, and it is
generally accepted that excessively permeable pavements are more prone to
oxidation and... hiện toàn bộ
Testing for the Significance of Induced Highway Travel Demand in Metropolitan AreasTransportation Research Record - Tập 1706 Số 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2000
Lawrence C. Barr
A research study was conducted to evaluate and quantify the effect of highway
capacity improvements on travel demand. Statistical models using Nationwide
Personal Transportation Survey data were designed to estimate relationships
between average household travel time and vehicle-miles of travel. Several
regression models were estimated, and the results were stratified by urbanized
area, public tra... hiện toàn bộ
Urban Form and Vehicular Travel: Some Empirical FindingsTransportation Research Record - Tập 1617 Số 1 - Trang 18-27 - 1998
Eric J. Miller, Amal Ibrahim
Some empirical findings are presented on the relationship between urban form and
work trip commuting efficiency, drawn from the analysis of 1986 work trip
commuting patterns in the greater Toronto area. Work trip commuting efficiency
is measured with respect to the average number of vehicle kilometers traveled
(VKT) per worker in a given zone. Preliminary findings include VKT per worker
increases ... hiện toàn bộ
Travel and the Built Environment: A SynthesisTransportation Research Record - Tập 1780 Số 1 - Trang 87-114 - 2001
Reid Ewing, Robert Cervero
The potential to moderate travel demand through changes in the built environment
is the subject of more than 50 recent empirical studies. The majority of recent
studies are summarized. Elasticities of travel demand with respect to density,
diversity, design, and regional accessibility are then derived from selected
studies. These elasticity values may be useful in travel forecasting and sketch

Built Environment and School Travel Mode Choice in Toronto, CanadaTransportation Research Record - Tập 2156 Số 1 - Trang 150-159 - 2010
Raktim Mitra, Ron Buliung, Matthew J. Roorda
Walking to or from school may provide a regular source of physical activity for
children and youth. To improve walking practices among this younger population,
urban planners emphasize the importance of built environment interventions.
Empirical understanding of the potential relationship between the built
environment and active school transportation (e.g., walking) is therefore
essential to the d... hiện toàn bộ
Validation of High-Fidelity Traffic Simulation ModelsTransportation Research Record - Tập 1710 Số 1 - Trang 69-78 - 2000
Lei Rao, Larry E. Owen
A multistage validation framework that accounts for the realistic nature of
traffic simulation output data is proposed. The framework consists of conceptual
validation and operational validation. The operational validation comprises a
qualitative approach, which involves static and animated Turing tests, and a
quantitative approach, which involves three levels of statistical tests.
Particularly in... hiện toàn bộ
