A methodology to evaluate equity in resource accessibility
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)Inequalities present in society have been of increased interest in recent years, particularly in the United States. One source of inequality is unequal access to important resources, such as shopping. Recent developments ... -
An investigation on off-hour delivery policy design using optimal incentives and a behavioral micro-simulation approach
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
Analyzing count data with endogenous peering effects : how spatial activities and our connections mutually influence each other?
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Specifically, the proposed model consists of three parts: the first part is a Poisson spatial autoregressive regression model for count data (i.e., small positive integers); the second part characterizes virtual connections ... -
Assessment of tradeoffs among multiple vehicle classes for urban deliveries
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
Beginning to develop and assess engineering judgment through mixed reality game-based learning
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)Geotechnical engineering requires successfully interpreting field conditions to design an appropriate solution, but how engineers accrue the judgment required to make appropriate decisions is a research area still in its ... -
Discrete modeling of quasibrittle materials: fracture, fragmentation and size effect
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12) -
Effect of soil compressibility on sand response to liquefaction and lateral spreading
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12) -
Experimental investigation of the mechanical behavior of concrete under uniaxial and multiaxial stress states
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
Influence of freestream and forced disturbances on the shear layers of a square prism
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)Flow around the square prism, an archetypal bluff body, has applications in all areas of fluid mechanics: vibration, mixing, combustion and noise production to name a few. It also has distinct importance to wind loading ... -
Public acceptability of time-of-day pricing : the New Jersey Turnpike case
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)Time of day pricing reduces the traffic on highway network by discouraging its overuse, especially during peak hours. Public acceptability is one of the important barriers for implementing the congestion pricing. The ... -
Resonant column and torsional shear testing to evaluate soil properties deposited using dry pluviation and hydraulic fill
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
Soil characterization in centrifuge models through measurement of S- and P-wave velocities using an enhanced bender elements system
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-05)
