Sistema de monitoreo de tráfico y control de interseccion para el Laboratorio de Ingeniería de Transportación
(2009)
In an urban network of vehicular traffic the intersections happen a higher frequency of congestion issues and accidents. Therefore they are appropriate points to place monitoring systems and control of vehicles and ...
Adaptation of VISSIM, a dynamic simulation model, to the traffic behavior at intersections in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico
(2006-05)
The rapid evolution in the sophistication of microsimulation models has encouraged their
use in transportation engineering and planning. Traffic In Towns SIMulation (VISSIM as its
acronyms in German) is a microsimulation ...
A case study of the Tallulah River Road design using context sensitive solution framework
(2012)
The use of Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) for the project development process is to take in consideration the needs and concerns of different stakeholders in various areas, such as: community, environmental, aesthetic, ...
Analysis and evaluation of traffic congestion at Sunny Isle and Sion Farm intersections in St. Croix, Virgin Islands
(2008)
This project presents the results of the analysis and evaluation of traffic conditions at two congested intersections Sunny Isle and Sion Farm in Saint Croix, Virgin Islands. They are among the busiest intersections in the ...
A methodology to incorporate highway safety into transportation planning using generalized linear mixed models
(2014)
Highway Safety has been identified as a significant problem worldwide. Crashes have been found as the second cause of death in the world according to the World Health Organization (2010). In fact, road crashes cost billions ...
User performance analysis of a two-way left turn lane using a driving simulator
(2018-12)
This research’s aim is to study the behavior of drivers when the cross-section of the roadway is modified to include a Two-Way Left Turn Lane (TWLTL). This research study used the UPRM driving simulator to collect driver ...
Estimation of volume delay functions for arterials and freeways in the western region of Puerto Rico
(2011-07)
Volume Delay Functions (VDF) are formulas developed to describe the functional relationship between travel time and traffic flow in a travel demand model considering the available capacity of the facility. VDF’s are the ...
GPS-enabled mobile phones as sensors in the determination of the components of individual trip chains withouth user input
(2012)
Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) is used to maximize the network’s capacity utilization. Research for DTA is active, but the data to apply it in real world situations is still under development. The solution proposed herein ...
Framework for humanitarian logistics and relief distribution efforts of non-established relief groups in the aftermath of a catastrophic event: Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico
(2019-12-12)
After massive disasters and catastrophes, the infrastructure and communication systems of a community can be severely affected to the point that their function could be nonexistent. Furthermore, the affected areas are ...
Evaluación del uso de autoscope para conteos automáticos de vehículos en intersecciones
(2006)
This work presents a study that determines which non-intrusive equipment of automatic vehicle detection is better counting vehicles at intersections. After the literature review, the most promising was the technology that ...
