Accessibility is important for road network planning and design, especially the accessibility of freeway entrances and exits, which reflects the convenience of travelers using freeways and the rationality of the connection between urban roads and fre...
Ramps provide entrances and exits for residents to conveniently use the freeway service. Due to the high construction cost and geometric design requirements, the decision of ramp locations involves a trade-off between multiple influencing factors, su...
Truck platooning is emerging as a sustainable means of transporting goods and commodities to destinations. Platooning optimizes road space and contributes to reducing freight truck emissions. However, there has been limited research on freight truck...
The freeway is a continuous flow facility that improves the accessibility and operational efficiency of the road network. However; freeway merging areas are accident-prone areas. In order to investigate the reasons for the high occurrence of accident...
There is growing agreement that refueling station location plans that aim to encourage public adoption of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) should include sites near freeways in urban areas. Little is known, though, about the refueling behavior of ear...
The use of dedicated lanes, known as managed lanes (MLs), on freeways is an established traffic management strategy to reduce congestion. Allowing automated vehicles (AVs) in existing MLs or dedicating MLs for AVs, referred to as AVMLs, has been sugg...
PM2.5 is an air pollutant that is widely associated with adverse health effects, and which tends to be disproportionately located near low-income communities and communities of color. We applied a community-engaged research approach to assess the dis...

Current studies on measuring the accessibility of medical services for the elderly (AMSE) have ignored the potential competition among supply and demand and the distance decay laws. Hence, an enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method...
Culture is frequently used as a means of promoting sustainable urban development. Indeed, in many areas across Europe, cultural and recreational routes or clusters have so far been utilized in order for urban regeneration and structural reconstructio...
Exposure therapy approaches are recognized as effective treatments for specific phobias; however, certain phobias, such as fear of driving on urban highways, present unique challenges in order to expose the patient to the triggering stimuli in a safe...
Freeway connected and automated vehicle (CAV) priority lanes (CPLs) provide dedicated or preferential road space for CAVs, but access-rule transitions require CAVs, connected vehicles (CVs), human-driven vehicles (HDVs), and trucks to reorganize with...
This study investigated the impact of converting High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes on fundamental traffic flow characteristics, focusing on speed, density, and flow relationships. A 25-mile HOV corridor along I-24...
