Regional flood estimation methods are used for estimation of design floods in ungauged catchments, which is required in the design of culverts, small to medium sized bridges, causeways, farm dams, soil conservation works and many other water resources management tasks. in Australia, the regional...

In regional hydrological regression, a relationship is sought to predict flood statistics and/or flood quantiles from catchment characteristics predictor variables. Most often the developed regression relationships can underestimate the true prediction error thus introducing significant...

Many studies focused on the development of crash prediction models have resulted in aggregate crash prediction models to quantify the safety effects of geometric, traffic, and environmental factors on the expected number of total, fatal, injury, and/or property damage crashes at specific...

Statisticians along with other scientists have made significant computational advances that enable the estimation of formerly complex statistical models. The Bayesian inference framework combined with Markov chain Monte Carlo estimation methods such as the Gibbs sampler enable the estimation of...

Purpose ? Building project management requires real time flow of information between all the project team members or the supply chain members. In the present scenario, when project participants are geographically separated, adoption of Information Communication Technology (ICT) enables such...

The object of this project was to identify those elements of management practice which characterised firms in the West Midlands Road Transport Industry. The object being to establish the contents of what might be termed a management policy portfolio for growth. The First Phase was the review of...

Factors such as rapidly growing population in metropolitan areas, stricter government regulations in wastewater infrastructure management, wastewater infrastructure assets nearing the end of its design life, along with limited budgets for maintenance and rehabilitation, are constantly...

Valuation of infrastructure assets has drawn close attention in the U.S. since the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34 (GASB 34) was issued in 1999. GASB 34 recommends two valuation methods: the depreciation method and the modified approach. The depreciation method estimates the...

The functioning of communities and industries depend on infrastructure network. Daily activities (such as production, shipping, supply chain, etc. for industries and commuting for work, business, schooling, etc. for communities) are performed efficiently with the help of infrastructure network....

The impact of IT investment remains poorly understood with respect to the construction industry. IT investment in construction firms continues to increase annually, but many construction firms have few adequate tools to evaluate their IT investment, as well as its benefits relative to...
