An Integrated 3D Safety-based Approach for the Design of Horizontal Curves using Reliability Analysis and LiDAR Data
DownloadSpring 2022
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...

Spring 2018
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...

Enhancing the Architecture of Context-Aware Driver Assistance Systems by Incorporating Insights from Naturalistic Driving Data
DownloadSpring 2019
Driving assistance systems (DASs) have received a great deal of attention in the past decades as an active and effective collision countermeasure. DASs potential benefits will be attained by enhancing the systems’ awareness regarding the dynamic driving context including the change in the driver...

Spring 2016
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...

Leveraging Generative Design and Point Cloud Data to Improve Conformance to Passing Lane Layout
DownloadFall 2023
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...

Fall 2017
Visibility is one of the basic requirements for safe driving. Any type of vision obstruction can interfere with the driver’s ability to operate a vehicle and thus poses a significant risk to road traffic safety. In addition to widely investigated adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, and...

Assessing the Effects of Snow and Ice Control Operations: The Interdependency between Weather Variables, Maintenance Operations, Pavement Friction, and Collisions
DownloadFall 2021
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...

Development of GIS-based Methods for Modeling Fire Hazard - A Large Scale Empirical Investigation
DownloadSpring 2022
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,...

Fall 2014
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...
