Development and evaluation of adaptive transit signal priority control with updated transit delay model
Download2019-11-12
Han, X., Li, P., Sikder, R., Qiu, Z., Kim, A.
Transit signal priority (TSP) strategies are widely used to reduce bus travel delay and to increase bus service reliability. State-of-the-art strategies enable dynamic (and optimal), rather than predetermined, TSP plans to reflect real-time traffic conditions. These dynamic plans are called...

Development of an integrated tailings closure model using GoldSim: preliminary results and lessons learned
Download2018-10-10
Traditionally, multidisciplinary simulation exercises often involves one discipline mechanistically using the output from a black-box model developed by another discipline. In this presentation, new techniques such as System Dynamics and Causal Loop Diagramming (CLD) will be used as the...

Traditionally, multi-disciplinary modelling exercises involve one discipline mechanistically using the output from a black-box model developed by another discipline. To address this deficiency, the research uses techniques relatively new to the geotechnical community, such as System Dynamics (SD)...

Digitalization Opportunities Road Mapping Tool (DORMT©): A framework to assess digitalization opportunities in construction organizations
Download2021-04-13
Gebretekle, Yisshak Tadesse, Kamau, Daniel Waweru, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
The construction industry is entering the digital age, which offers innovative digitalization opportunities (DOs) regarding cost efficiency, project management, and improved client experience. In their early efforts to implement DOs, construction organizations have had varying degrees of success,...

Yifei Cui, Dave Chan, Alireza Nouri
This paper presents a numerical scheme for a solid–fluid coupled discrete-element method (DEM) that takes into consideration solid deformation and pore pressure generation and dissipation. Analytical solutions of conventional soil mechanics examples obtained by oedometer testing are used to...

Dynamic modeling of multi-factor construction productivity for equipment-intensive activities.
Download2018-07-12
Seresht, Nima Gerami, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction productivity is a major research interest within the construction domain. Because construction is a labor-intensive industry, previous research has often focused on construction labor productivity (CLP). However, equipment is the main driver of productivity for some construction...
