Safety-based design can be described as an approach in which safety is considered a core design input and the safety performance of proposed designs that follow this approach can be expected. Although current-day highway design guidelines are constantly updated to incorporate recent advances in...

This thesis extends the current research on graph theory-based techniques to meet the needs of planners of multimodal transit networks. Graph theory was originally developed in the 1700s to study transportation systems although it was not adapted to study public transportation networks until the...

Speeding is the number one road safety problem in many countries around the world. Speeding contributes to as many as one third of all fatal crashes, and is considered an aggravating factor in crash severity. Because of the adverse consequences of speeding, speed management is considered to be...

An effective winter road maintenance (WRM) program is essential for cities that face severe winter conditions. Snowstorms create slippery road surface conditions (RSC) that disrupt traffic flows and endanger motorists. To combat this, municipalities use a variety of tools to improve the driving...

Wildland fires are natural occurrences in the woodland landscape that play a vital ecological role in Canada's boreal forest region. However, they also endanger human life and can disrupt timber resources and other economic assets. Recently, wildfires have ravaged areas of British Columbia,...

Thiessen, Avi J

This thesis expands previous research on operating speed models by developing models for tangent segments in an urban road environment. The thesis explored the relationships between operating speeds and several road features which have not been previously investigated. Typically, operating speed...

The inadequate design of highway elements is a major contributing factor to traffic collisions. Guidelines and regulations for highway design serve as a structured framework for engineers, providing essential direction to create compliant models. These rules are established to ensure the safety...

While recent advancements in deep-learning point cloud upsampling methods have improved the input to intelligent transportation systems, they still suffer from issues of domain dependency between synthetic and real-scanned point clouds. This thesis addresses the above issues by proposing a new...

Li, Ran

This thesis evaluated the safety effects of automated mobile enforcement at both the segment-based level and city-wide level over a period of eight years. For the segment-based evaluation, the before-and-after Empirical Bayes (EB) method was used to account for the regression-to-the-mean effect...

This thesis evaluates the safety effects of intersection safety devices (ISD). The purpose of ISD cameras is to reduce the number of collisions that result from red-light running and speeding at intersections. Typically, ISD cameras are placed at one or more approaches of an intersection and...
