Daniel B. Fambro Student Paper Award: A Stochastic Delay Prediction Model for Real-Time Incident Management
By Steve Boyles and S. Travis Waller, Ph.D.

In this paper, the authors demonstrate that failing to account for uncertainty that exists in predicting incident severity consistently and systematically underestimates the impact of incidents, potentially to a large enough degree that faulty incident management decisions are made.

Past Presidents’ Award for Merit in Transportation Engineering: Road Diet Handbook
By Jennifer A. Rosales, P.E.

In this paper, the author discusses her Road Diet Handbook: Setting Trends for Livable Streets, which assesses livability benefits that have not been previously evaluated and provides an overall best practice for the implementation of road diets.

The 2007 National Traffic Signal Report Card: Highlights

The 2007 National Traffic Signal Report Card seeks to answer the question: How well does the nation manage, operate and maintain its traffic signal systems, and how much has the operation of our nation’s signal systems improved since the 2005 National Traffic Signal Report Card? This feature summarizes the results contained in the Technical Report.

A New Approach for Modeling Vehicle Delay at Isolated Signalized Intersections
By Yetis Sazi Murat, Ph.D.

Determining vehicle delay is a complex task, especially for over-saturated traffic conditions. This study considers the fuzzy logic approach for modeling vehicle delay at signalized intersections. The estimated delays obtained are compared with those in the Highway Capacity Manual, Akçelik’s methods and the real-world data collected at intersections.
