Download or read book Energy and Air Quality Benefits of Freeway Bottleneck Improvements written by Carol H. Walters and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freeway bottlenecks cause deterioration in freeway operation. These overcapacity sections of freeway are responsible for increased fuel consumption, increased emissions, and increased delay to motorists. The Texas Department of Transportation has funded and implemented many freeway bottleneck improvement projects around the state to reduce these problems. These projects provide significant benefits in terms of increasing speeds and reducing delays; however, little information exists on quantifying energy and air quality benefits from implementation of bottleneck removal projects. This research investigated the relationships between traffic operating characteristics and environmental factors such as fuel consumption, hydrocarbon emissions, carbon monoxide emissions, and nitrogen oxide emissions. A methodology was developed to analyze existing before and after data from traffic improvement projects that have been implemented. The change in fuel consumption was quantified and guidelines were developed to help predict energy benefits from implementing future freeway bottleneck improvements. The total reduction in fuel usage ranged from 0.0% to 5.2% for the examples studied, with an average of 2.2%. However, the attempt to quantify the air quality benefits was less successful and further research, now underway on a national level, will be required. Current methodology is based on an average speed, and this fails to account for the stop and go nature of driving within congestion upstream of a bottleneck. Under such conditions it has been demonstrated that greater emissions occur, but this has not yet been reliably quantified.

Download or read book Road User and Mitigation Costs in Highway Pavement Projects written by David Leonard Lewis and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1999 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to transportation agency planners; design, construction, and maintenance engineers; and administrators, managers, economists, and other decisionmakers involved in programming highway pavement projects. This synthesis describes current practice with regard to road user and mitigation costs in highway pavement projects. Information for the synthesis was collected by surveying U.S. and Canadian transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search of both domestic and foreign publications. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides detailed information on the various methods employed by transportation agencies to estimate user costs. The advantages and disadvantages of each are reported. Information on the various components of user costs (that is, time related, vehicle operating, safety, and environmental costs) is also included. In addition, the study reports on the various mitigation strategies available to agencies to reduce user costs. Information is also provided on how user costs and mitigation strategies have been applied to evaluate different alternatives; and how uncertainties, political considerations, and quality control contribute to the decisionmaking process.
Download or read book Estimating User Costs as a Basis for Incentive disincentive Amounts in Highway Construction Contracts written by James S. Gillespie and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) occasionally includes an incentive/ disincentive for early completion (I/D) in its construction contracts. This report presents the results of a project to identify procedures that would (1) enhance the effectiveness and enforceability of the I/D provision and (2) reduce the staff time and effort necessary to determine the need for an I/D and to calculate an appropriate per-day dollar amount. The researcher first reviewed the relevant literature pertaining to construction contracts and to road user cost calculation, and then evaluated the available user cost methodologies, especially computer software. Next, the researcher surveyed the current use of I/D provisions in Virginia and other states, and described VDOT's current project development process, with special emphasis on the user cost data that are typically generated during that process. The report makes five conclusions. First, various forms of I/D, though known by a variety of names, are fundamentally similar. Second, use of an incentive rather than a disincentive alone enhances the enforceability of the disincentive clause, though it may increase the final cost of the contract. Third, cost-plus-time bidding enhances the effectiveness of the incentive clause and the enforceability of the disincentive clause. Fourth, the end of the design public hearing is a logical point for VDOT to judge the need for an I/D. Fifth, road user cost savings calculated from the output of the Highway Capacity Software already in common use in VDOT forms a legally sound justification for a per-day dollar I/D amount.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This present book includes a set of selected revised and extended versions of the best papers presented at the 11th International Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence (IJCCI 2019) – held in Vienna, Austria, from 17 to 19 September 2019. The authors focus on three outstanding fields of Computational Intelligence through the selected panel, namely Evolutionary Computation, Fuzzy Computation and Neural Computation. Besides presenting the recent advances of the selected areas, the book aims to aggregate new and innovative solutions for confirmed researchers and, on the other hand, to provide a source of information and/or inspiration for young interested researchers or learners in the ever-expanding and current filed of Computational Intelligence. It constitutes a precious provision of knowledge for individual researchers as well as represents a valuable sustenance for collective use in academic libraries (of universities and engineering schools) relating innovative techniques in various fields of applications.
