They are prone to a higher risk of injury on the incident of vehicular impact and their decision making behaviour at unmarked crosswalks are more crucial than at marked crosswalks. The objective of the current study is to determine the Level of Safety thresholds and warrants for both marked and unmarked pedestrian crossing facilities at urban midblock sections under mixed traffic conditions. In this study, data were collected from four different locations of Trivandrum city including marked and unmarked crosswalks. Crossing behaviour of pedestrians for both types of crosswalks were compared by analyzing different characteristics such as gap acceptance, surrogate safety measure like post encroachment time (PET), waiting time, crossing time, platoon size, type of critical vehicle and critical gap. Multiple linear regression (MLR) technique was used to develop gap acceptance models. The study also proposes Pedestrian Level of Safety (PLS) criteria which describes the safety of pedestrians at crosswalks and warrants for crossings based on the PET values. The developed PLS thresholds and the pedestrian vehicle interaction values (PV2) were correlated to the PET values to develop the pedestrian crossing warrants.","PeriodicalId":49670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Transport","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78094283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the present study is undertaken for the estimation of conflicting traffic volumes at MBMO. In this regard, a simple yet practical methodology has been proposed, and a parameter named spatiotemporal conflicting factor has been introduced. In order to estimate spatial conflicting factor, the entire carriageway-width was divided into two zones namely, spatial conflict zone and spatial no-conflict zone. Spatial conflicting factor was estimated by studying the placement characteristics of approaching through traffic and U-turning traffic. Subsequently, temporal conflicting factor was estimated based on no-conflict time gap and possible slowdown section. Afterward, spatiotemporal conflicting factor and resulted conflicting traffic volume was estimated for MBMO in 6-lane and 4-lane road. The present investigation's tangible outcome is to estimate the realistic capacity values of median openings, which will be beneficial for traffic planners for efficient management of traffic for an improved level of service and safety.","PeriodicalId":49670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Transport","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88559282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incorporation of RA provides significant economic and environmental benefits by effectively using recycled materials. Trials of thin surface course systems incorporating RA contents of more than 10% have been installed on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) since 2004. These trials demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating higher RA contents and the necessary quality controls. The sites have now been in service for a significant period of time and provide an opportunity to understand their performance. This paper summarises current practice and trials undertaken incorporating RA content >10% in the UK. The paper presents detailed analysis of the performance of the M25 J6-7 & 7-8 Clockwise (installed in 2007 incorporating 23% RA) and M25 J6-7 Anti-clockwise (installed in 2009 incorporating 40% RA). The paper provides quantifiable evidence regarding the performance of surface course materials containing RA >10%. The analysis demonstrates that surface courses containing RA have performed equivalently to control sections containing no RA over a significant period of time. The trials indicate that the inclusion of RA, when subject to the appropriate quality control processes, has had no detrimental impact upon on the skid resistance. The conclusions support the incremental increase of the maximum permitted RA content from 10% to 20% with appropriate quality controls in the future revision of PD6691.","PeriodicalId":49670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Transport","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91250507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper analyses the factors that affect the freight distribution of major types of cargo transported through the Yangtze River, using data from the automatic identification system (AIS) and ship visa data. First, a set of freight impedance functions are developed for different types of links of the waterway network, by considering a number of factors such as cargo types, delays at ship locks, water levels and flows at different waterway segments and upstream and downstream shipping speeds. Both the distance- and time-based impedance matrices of different types of cargo are computed, respectively. After that, gravity model (GM) and intervening opportunity model (IOM) are estimated to simulate the distribution of different types of cargo based on the computed impedance matrices. Meanwhile, a trip length distribution (TLD) method is applied to validate the estimated distribution models. The results indicate that GM with a power term outperforms other models, and the time-based models are superior to the distance-based ones for the prediction of freight distributions over large geographies like the YREB. This work offers an in-depth understanding of the freight characteristics of inland waterways and therefore it should be helpful for relevant authorities in formulating their port and inland waterway plans and policies.","PeriodicalId":49670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Transport","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75699982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Static and dynamic loads were applied using two airplanes. Results show that, laying FRP pavement layers reduced the maximum deflection of Crater 2 by 21%. Crater 1 and concrete pavement were both slightly rigid structures with a strong load transfer ability. The dynamic deflection basin curves of Crater 2 could be fit using a Gaussian function; while the curves of Crater 1 and concrete pavement could be fit using a quartic polynomial. Under static loading, the earth pressures of Crater 2 at −0.6 m, −0.4 m, and −0.2 m sites were 4.3, 9, and 9.6 times of those of Crater 1, respectively. At the −0.2 m site, the earth pressure of Crater 1 was 0.11 MPa, while that of Crater 2 reached 1.06 MPa.

It is focused on the density as an important measure of land use that reflects the interaction with the transportation system. The effect of density has been addressed years ago; therefore, papers have been published since 1960s were reviewed in this paper. These papers are classified into two groups according to the most common measure of the density and the most common variables of the travel behaviour considered in these researches. The first group contains about 26 papers published before 2000 while the second group contains about 45 papers published after 2000. It has been noticed that the population density is the main term of density used in the first group while the employment density and the configuration of densities are integrated as measures in the papers published after 2000. The direct relationship with mode choice and travel length has been approved. However, there are some gaps are identified in the discussion and conclusion sections, such as the effect on the trip production rate, the type of trips according to its purposes, internal and external, and weekdays and weekend.","PeriodicalId":49670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Transport","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91052533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
