An integrated approach to node and station operation analysis is possible by means of analytical methods, customized to this scope. Alternatively, the simulation models allow more in-depth analyses aiming at the optimization of the use of capacity. T...

Developing countries are continuously upgrading their transportation systems. The latest improvement in Qatar, a fast-developing country in the Middle East, was the installation of dynamic message signs (DMS) and lane control signs (LCS). These signs...

One of the most important renewable energy technologies used nowadays are wind power turbines. In this paper, we are interested in identifying the operating status of wind turbines, especially rotor blades, by means of multiphysical models. It is a s...

This study identified high-risk locations (hotspots) using geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analysis. Five years of accident data (2013–2017) for the Lokoja-Abuja-Kaduna highway in Nigeria were used. The accident concentration a...

This paper aims to investigate the seismic vulnerability of key port infrastructure components by using the outcomes of advanced numerical analysis. For the first time, to the best knowledge of the authors, a pile-supported wharf structure, the soil...

The condition of a bridge is critical in quality evaluations and justifying the significant costs incurred by maintaining and repairing bridge infrastructures. Using bridge management systems, the department of transportation in the United States is...

The study presented in this paper analyzed four long-term pavement performance (LTPP) test sections located in the states of New York (NY) and California (CA). Two of them are flexible pavement sections, whereas the other two are composite pavement s...

Considering the future shortage of natural aggregates, various researchers have promoted the recycling of by-products into various asphalt pavement types. This paper promoted a double-recycling technique, where thermally treated waste silt was used a...

The monitoring and maintenance of existing civil infrastructure has recently received worldwide attention. Several structural health monitoring methods have been developed, including time-, frequency-, and time–frequency domain methods of modal...
