CIDNY Task 2 – Develop a Multi-agency/multi-modal Construction Management Software Tool to Enhance Coordination of Construction Projects City-wide during Planning and Operation Phases

CIDNY Task 2 – Develop a Multi-agency/multi-modal Construction Management Software Tool to Enhance Coordination of Construction Projects City-wide during Planning and Operation Phases Overview The main objective of this study is the assessment of the Construction Impact Analysis (CIA) and Work Zone Impact and Strategy Estimator (WISE) tools, and determining the feasibility of their customization…

Quantifying Uncertainty and Distributed Adaptive Control for Unanticipated Traffic Patterns as a Result of Major Natural and Man-made Disruptions

Quantifying Uncertainty and Distributed Adaptive Control for Unanticipated Traffic Patterns as a Result of Major Natural and Man-made Disruptions Overview Non-recurring traffic congestion, in the form of traffic incidents) accounts for over 50% of day-to-day traffic delays. We are also seeing an increasing frequency of both major traffic disruptions, both anticipated (e.g., hurricanes) and no-notice…

Development of Advanced Weigh-In-Motion (A-WIM) System for Effective Enforcement of Overweight Trucks to Reduce their Socioeconomic Impact on Major Highways

Development of Advanced Weigh-In-Motion (A-WIM) System for Effective Enforcement of Overweight Trucks to Reduce their Socioeconomic Impact on Major Highways Obstacles in Overweight Truck Screening Currently, overweight truck enforcement is generally conducted at static weighing stations or by traffic troopers using a portable weighing scale. Static weighing stations are equipped with truck scales (trucks stop…

A Multi-Stakeholder Approach to Developing Effective Policies to Reduce the Impact Costs of Overweight Vehicles on Roads and Bridges

A Multi-Stakeholder Approach to Developing Effective Policies to Reduce the Impact Costs of Overweight Vehicles on Roads and Bridges The Cost of Overweight Vehicles Overweight trucks and vehicles represent a significant cost to transportation agencies in all states. This is due to their contribution to the deterioration of road pavement and bridge decks and girders.…

Monitoring and Control of Overweight Trucks for Smart Mobility and Safety of Freight Operations

Monitoring and Control of Overweight Trucks for Smart Mobility and Safety of Freight Operations Overview This project will investigate technologies to screen overweight trucks including high-speed weigh-in-motion (HS-WIM) system integrated with license plate reader and/or security camera, and to evaluate the feasibility of such technologies compared to current screening practices at weighing stations. In addition,…

Designing and Managing Infrastructure for Shared Connected Electric Vehicles

Designing and Managing Infrastructure for Shared Connected Electric Vehicles Overview The research team developed a trajectory synthesizer that allows for selection of number of trips and time block during the day and then predicts the trajectory of a carshare vehicle based on a given start location. Electric vehicles (EVs) generally lead to a reduction in…
