Description:: Active traffic management systems aim to relieve recurring and non-recurring congestion by using estimated and predicted traffic conditions to guide trip makers before and after entering the network as well as to design control strategies to improve system performance. With external disruptions and interventions (e.g., weather, special events, and incidents),...

Description:: Understanding bridge performance and detecting structurally deficient components are of increasing concern to modern infrastructure owners and managers. Concerns over possible effects of increased truck weights led to the opportunity to monitor a highway bridge, regularly subjected to heavy traffic due to logging activities typical of its locale. A weigh-in-motion...

Description:: The term Connected Vehicle (CV) is broadly used to identify any ‘smart vehicle’ with wireless connectivity to the roadside infrastructure and other vehicles. CVs that can be driven autonomously are called connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). With real-time communication and data transmission capability, CAVs have the potential to improve the transportation...
