(2018)This presentation will give an overview of the different techniques of dynamic weighing (both in-road and on-board). It will show the main applications, advantages and limitations of current WIM systems. This will be ...
-
(2018)Brazil is a country of continental dimensions and dependent on the road matrix as the main means of transportation for goods, merchandise and passengers. The country has a network of 55 thousand kilometers of highways and ...
-
(2018)Due to the persistently high unemployment situation in South Africa, the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) was launched by Government in 2004. Its objective is to provide essential services and infrastructure to ...
-
(2018)Optimizations of relatively thin (< 50 mm thick) asphalt road surfacing design towards first class user experiences are still an art today. The risk for failure is difficult to assess, therefore unwanted tyre-road interactions ...
-
(2018)Applications of Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems have included data collection, screening for enforcement, and tolling (ETC). Monitoring traffic volume for planning, and protection of roadway pavement systems by overload ...
-
(2018)In this paper we evaluate the fields of application and present the main benefits of a Weigh-In-Motion solution, in short WIM, in the ITS environment
-
(2018)Vehicle safety is of primary concern and involves all aspects of the vehicle and driver. Tire performance is critical for commercial vehicle safety, and tire inflation is paramount for effective vehicle operation and ...
-
(2018)Robust and effective tools for the accuracy and quality assessment of WIM data are essential to continuously prove the relevance and maintain the reliability of in-service WIM systems. The American ASTM Standard Specification ...
-
(2018)Overloading and Speeding have been recognized to be both a safety as well as a cost concern.Through the continuous efforts undertaken by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport, the heavy vehicle overloading problem in ...
-
(2018)In Australia, On-Board Mass (OBM) systems are being used to record the mass and configuration of heavy vehicle combinations. On-Board Mass (OBM) Systems are technologies that are able to measure the the mass of axle groups ...
-
(2018)This presentation will show the implementation of high speed Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems for the direct automatic enforcement of overloading. In this application the WIM measurements are directly used for enforcement ...
-
(2018)The traffic congestion has become a worldwide problem. The current solution is to make the transportation become smart. The origin and definition of smart transportation was expounded and the basic architecture of smart ...
-
(2018)This paper briefly elaborates the evolution of global transportation and the frontier of science and technology all around the world for the sake of accurately predicting the trend of desired transport future. Furthermore, ...
-
(2018)Major cities in Africa face an overwhelming urban transport crisis which is attributed to a number of factors; key among them is unprecedented motorisation; inefficient public transport systems; incoherent and disarticulated ...
-
(2018)With the development of technology and economy, more and more people desire a better transport service. How to make future transportation safer, more sufficient and affordable is an important issue to discuss. The three ...
-
(2018)With the development of society and economy, the trend of urbanization and motorization in China has led to the increasing traffic issues in cities, which are mainly shown as traffic congestion, energy shortage, environmental ...
-
(2018)In 2007 the South African National Department of Transport commissioned the construction of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Networks in major metros. However, due to increased cost and dependence on subsidies, there have been ...
-
(2018)In the wake of the continuous acceleration of urbanization in China, the problems of traffic congestion, environmental pollution and inefficient travel caused by the high-mobility travel mode have gone from bad to worse. ...
-
(2018)A distributed trip behaviour detection devices with the capability of collecting WiFi information is designed for identifying trip characteristics of urban rail transit system with complex network. Trip characteristics ...
-
(2018)Paratransit forms the basis of public transport systems in many of worlds emerging cities. However, there is limited information available on the extent of operations, the route network and passenger demand. Manual passenger ...
