Evaluating the Best Belt Conveyor Assembly Using TOPSIS Approach
Abstract: This article presents a new approach for the selection of Belt Conveyor of screening creaser on the basis of their performance. This article includes the effective factors like angle of response, load capacity of motor, raw material load capacity, raw material dimension. These all important factors affect the performance of Belt Conveyor Assembly. Therefore, determination of the best Belt Conveyor is basically a Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problem. Our aim …

Studies on Polymer Modified Bitumen with various Fiber Impregnation
Abstract: Transportation sector is showing immense growth in the recent decades, modern vehicles introduced require a more stable platform to run better. In terms of road construction, we are not yet reaching the modernized standards adopted by other countries and usage of modern and innovative road construction materials are yet to be used in transportation infrastructure sector. The available roads are also getting damaged due to improper maintenance of top layer …

Evaluation of Impacts of Dispatch Headway Variability in Bus Transit Systems in a Simulated Route
Abstract: This paper presents reliability analysis of bus transit systems based on numerical simulation of the range of headway variations in a bus route consists of multiple stops. Variation of performance in bus operation due to the variation of departure headways is determined through number of simulations. Operational performance is measured by the average waiting time of passengers at stops. Simulation results show that average waiting time as well as spread …
