This thesis develops an efficient quantile-adaptive framework for linear and nonlinear variable screening with high-dimensional heterogeneous data. Inspired by the success of various variable screening methods, especially in the quantile-adaptive framework, we develop a more efficient variable...

Variable Speed Limit (VSL), an active traffic demand management (ATDM) strategy, is widely exercised to improved freeway operations by influencing collective driving pattern during congested condition. Since high traffic flow coupled with elevated lane changing rate can onset congestion on...

Over the past few decades, several active traffic control methods have been developed and implemented to mitigate freeway congestion. Among them, Variable Speed Limit (VSL) is considered the most efficient control method. In addition, the latest advances in Intelligent Transportation Systems...

In this thesis, I developed the ideas of applying the variational method in geometric mechanics to the porous media described as solid elastic materials with embedded ideal (incompressible) fluid, also known as Eulerian fluid. The work includes four chapters and a conclusion. In the Introduction,...

Most of Canada’s municipal infrastructure, including bridges, was built between the 1950s and 1970s. With design lives of 50-100 years, many of these structures are due for major rehabilitations or replacements. With the growing costs of deteriorating infrastructure, the cost savings from...

In construction manufacturing, components (e.g., panels or modules) are produced in a factory environment before being transported and installed in a construction site. In this context, two distinct operational phases are observed: factory, accounting for 60%–90% of the tasks that would typically...

Background: Construction sites can be hazardous places. Behavior-based safety is a method to optimize workers’ behaviors and improve site safety. Previous behavior-based safety has been criticized for their low efficiency because of manual observation. The community has conducted enormous studies...

Construction sites are the place where personnel and equipment work closely. In such workplaces, human movement dynamically adapts to the surrounding circumstances which are congested and continually changing. Acquisition of worker trajectories and measurement of physical value of workplaces,...
