The practice of transportation engineering and planning has evolved substantially over the past several decades. A new paradigm for transportation engineering education is required to engage students better. Simulation tools have been used by transportation professionals to evaluate and analyze...

Traditionally, students use pencil and ruler to lay out lines and curves over contour maps for roadway geometry design. Numerous calculations of stopping sight distance, minimum turning radius, and curve alignments are required during the roadway design process in order to ensure safety, to...

The opening of the replacement for the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge bridge on September 18th, 2008 provides a unique opportunity to evaluate the impacts generated by this additional link on network performance, and thus empirically test whether a Braess Paradox occurred. Using detailed GPS...

This paper studies the effect of interlock directors’ performance feedback on the acquisition performance of focal firms from the perspective of principal-agent. The results indicate that in the acquisition network connected by interlock directors, the more successful the performance feedback...

Public-Private Partnerships have been adopted worldwide to deliver infrastructure assets. However, the governments normally dominate PPP execution. The upshot, in this stance, has undermined the project's cooperation and then been an inability of the public sector to leverage the resources and...
