This paper presents a framework which includes empirical modelling methods to estimate freight transportation between defined zones. In this method, observed origin and destination matrices for each type of freight are ...

Transportation is an important human activity which has many economic, social and other effects. In particular, freight transportation is economically very important for any country, and includes transporting a wide variety ...

The main goal of this paper is to evaluate civil engineering internship programs for educational improvements by doing statistical analyses on comprehensive survey data gathered from inquiry sheets. A web base online survey ...

Increasing demand for railway transportation requires large amounts of money to be spent on maintenance and renewal. In both industrialised and developing countries, one of the main problems of railway companies is regarding ...

Understanding track geometry deterioration decisively influences the planning and optimisation of track maintenance and renewal works and consequently the substantial related costs (savings) each year of every railway. To ...

Bus rapid transit systems in developing and newly industrialized countries often consist of a trunk with a path topology. On this trunk, several overlapping lines are operated which provide direct connections. The demand ...

The main goal of this paper is to model track geometry deterioration using a comprehensive field investigation gathered over a period of 2 years on approximately 180km of railway line. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...

The condition of railway infrastructure elements is the key factor influencing the traffic safety, infrastructure availability, total maintenance and renewal costs, and revenues. The measurement and analysis of the condition ...
