The same survey collected with mobile scanning equipment took Riegl USA Riegl less than two hours and provided more information than a survey crew could collect in a month. More importantly, no one was exposed to potentially hazardous working conditions. Project Specifics Hardware consisted of two Riegl VQ-250 2-D laser scanners, an inertial navigation system (INS)/global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver and an on-board computer in a portable case. The INS-GNSS unit comprised the electronics for real-time kinematic (RTK) satellite navigation and three sensors: the INS sensor; the GNSS receiver sensor, including antenna; and a wheel sensor, or distance measuring indicator (DMI). The laser scanners and the INS-GNSS unit were attached to a stable mounting platform that can be mounted on any vehicle. A single cable connected the measuring head to the control unit box, which was housed in a case and contained the power supply; a com- puter running Riegl’s RiACQUIRE software package for data acquisi- tion; removable hard drives; and a handy touch screen, providing a convenient control interface for the operator.

LANE A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Erin C. Lane This is dedicated to Aunt Cheryl and Grandpa Lane ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In my studies at the University of Florida I have come in contact with a number of individuals who have made positive contributions to my learning and development as a graduate student. Dr. Beeghley was so influential; he guided me through my senior year and directed me to the right resources when I was trying to put together a senior thesis. He has had a profound impact on my life, and I am truly grateful. I thank Alex Piquero for his patience and guidance, as he was instrumental in helping me write and publish my senior thesis. Jodi Lane provided me with the tools and guidance I needed to get things done and keep it all organized. Matt Nobles kept me focused and somehow always knew what was going on. He was always ready to help. I am forever grateful to Karen Parker, who helped me develop my research focus and guide me through my graduate career. The care and expertise she provided are invaluable. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their support. They never gave up and their persistence helped me get where I am today. My stepmother, Cheryl, my grandmother, Aunt Jan, Uncle Perry, Uncle Paul, and had so much confidence in me.

  • A Dynamic Feedback-Control Toll Pricing Methodology for Managed Lanes
    A DYNAMIC FEEDBACK-CONTROL TOLL PRICING METHODOLOGY FOR MANAGED LANES PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR Sherif Ishak, Ph.D. Associate Professor Undergraduate Programs Coordinator 3418A Patrick F. Taylor Hall Civil and Environmental Engineering Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, LA 70803 Phone: 225-578-4846 TRB KEYWORD Variable Toll Lanes, Managed Lanes, Congestion Pricing, Revenue Maximization, High Occupancy Toll. FUNDS REQUESTED The total project cost is $59,637. This includes a total of $29,178 from UTC and $30,459 matching funds from LSU. PROJECT SUMMARY With the fast increase in passenger and freight travel demand, traffic congestion has become a persistent problem to the surface transportation network in the United States. Congestion undermines people’s quality of life through wasted time, energy, money, as well as associated environmental concerns and safety issues. Traditional solutions to mitigate traffic congestion through capacity expansion projects are not always feasible due to the exceedingly high cost or limited available land. Over the years, various operational policies have been adopted or proposed to relieve the traffic congestion at lower cost, for instance, reducing demand by imposing bans on commercial vehicles for particular hours, discouraging peak-hour traveling, re-timing of traffic lights, metering access to highway and so on. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Research Problem Statement Recently, congestion pricing emerged as a cost-effective and efficient strategy to mitigate the congestion problem on freeways. The concept of congestion pricing was first introduced in “The Economics of Welfare” (Pigou, 1920) and was later greatly promoted both theoretically and practically (e.g. William Vickrey, 1968). Congestion pricing consists in imposing a fixed or variable toll on motorists for using a particular lane or roadway segment in an attempt to influence travel demand by encouraging motorists to either switch to alternative routes or changing their trip time (Kachroo, 2011).

  • A Two-Phase Safe Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problem
    A Two-Phase Safe Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problem: Formulations and Solution Algorithms Aschkan Omidvar a*, Eren Erman Ozguven b, O. Arda Vanli c, R. Tavakkoli-Moghaddam d a Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA b Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, FAMU-FSU College of Engineering., Tallahassee, FL, 32310, USA c Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Tallahassee, FL, 32310, USA d School of Industrial Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Iran Abstract We propose a two phase time dependent vehicle routing and scheduling optimization model that identifies the safest routes, as a substitute for the classical objectives given in the literature such as shortest distance or travel time, through (1) avoiding recurring congestions, and (2) selecting routes that have a lower probability of crash occurrences and non-recurring congestion caused by those crashes. In the first phase, we solve a mixed-integer programming model which takes the dynamic speed variations into account on a graph of roadway networks according to the time of day, and identify the routing of a fleet and sequence of nodes on the safest feasible paths. Second phase considers each route as an independent transit path (fixed route with fixed node sequences), and tries to avoid congestion by rescheduling the departure times of each vehicle from each node, and by adjusting the sub-optimal speed on each arc. A modified simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is formulated to solve both complex models iteratively, which is found to be capable of providing solutions in a considerably short amount of time.
