Book excerpt: The objective of this dissertation is to develop a decision-making framework for prioritizing potential alternatives of truck management strategies using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method. The motivation is drawn from the need for investigating and evaluating all likely impacts, resulting from the implementation of alternative truck strategies. The conventional evaluation methods such as the cost-benefit analysis can be addressed impacts involving monetary costs, but we believe these are insufficient to investigate all likely impacts. Our decision-making framework is developed to deal with all impacts that can transformable and non-transformable into monetary costs as well as to reflect decision-makers judgments. Two main objectives of this study are accomplished. The first is to explore all likely impacts, resulting from the implementation of alternatives truck management strategies, by performing a specific case study of before and after cases using traffic simulation models. A key feature of this part is to analyze various performance measures. They include both measures that can transformable and non-transformable into monetary costs as well as can reflect the standpoints of the public and the private sectors. Secondly, our framework is developed based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), one of popular multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. This method enables the judgments and preferences of decision-maker to be quantified based on the relative importance of their own criteria, and to allow a quantitative interpretation from others. Another important contribution is to develop a 100-score conversion formula, a standard normalization technique. Since quantitative measurements have different scales, we need to incorporate these measurements into a single value. The formulas allow decision-makers to facilitate comparisons across potential alternatives. Final decision scores can be produced by multiplying the sum of scores of sub-criteria by estimated weight of the criteria. We believe that these final scores provide the argument to prioritize potential alternatives.

This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, sets out requirements for travel time reliability within a performance-based planning process. The research includes an effort to determine the economic value of improvements in travel time reliability by applying options theory from the financial sector. The report includes two succinct tables that describe requirements for person and freight trips for reliable transport, as well as a forecast of the year 2030 under alternative assumptions that may influence travel time reliability.

This book was released on with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is one of the most challenging problems for the world, which leads researchers to study on the decrease of its impact to the environment at several disciplines. One of the most adverse effects on environment can be observed in transportation area. Hence, in this paper, the impact of bridge maintenance on the environment is inquired in the bridge maintenance prioritization perspective. The aim of this paper is to rank the bridge maintenance projects using type-2 neutrosophic number (T2NN) based fuzzy WASPAS (Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment) and TOPSIS (Technique For Order Preference By Similarity To An Ideal Solution) to test five alternative bridges, where a critical environmental criterion is introduced in this model, which addresses to additional CO2 emission because of truck detours in the event of a bridge closures. The applicability of the proposed model is demonstrated in a case study in Turkey. The evaluation findings show that the ranking results are robust and the CO2 emission criterion is found to be the dominant criterion in the multicriteria decision-making model proposed in this paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with most shorelines around the world, New Jersey beaches are slowly, but inexorably, being eroded, threatening coastal structures and development. In some years more sand is deposited than removed, but all of the state's monitoring devices show that sea level is gradually rising and pushing the New Jersey shoreline inland. The shore is a valuable resource, and its natural, cultural, and economic attractions draw a multitude of permanent and temporary residents each year, extending housing and commercial development onto areas that were once swampland. Not surprisingly, development at the water's edge has been accompanied by an increasing exposure to the natural hazards of the coastal zone--erosion, flooding, and wind damage. In this book, Norbert Psuty and Douglas Ofiara incorporate perspectives from the areas of coastal sciences, economics, public policy, and land-use planning in creating a systematic plan for coastal management and protection. It has been more than a decade since New Jersey developed the nation's first state shore protection plan, and this volume provides a timely evaluation of its achievements and future challenges. This self-contained book provides all of the relevant theories, models, and examples so the reader will not need to refer to any other literature to gain an understanding of the issues and policies surrounding shore protection. It is the authoritative handbook for practitioners and policy makers in many fields, including coastal science and management and engineering, as well as public policy and economics.
