A Review: Application of Ant Algorithm in Transport Network Design Problems
Abstract: A dependable and reliable information source for transportation route planning and ready response to traveler demand, have become a hot topic of research these days. Transportation route planning, analysis and processing of traveler demand are among most important factors affecting response to traveler demand. Because of highly dynamic networks and frequent discontinuity, it is desirable to establish routes for fast delivery of people and goods, having a low probability of …

Performance Evaluation of Modified Cold Mix Asphalt by Some Waste Materials
Abstract: The aim of study is to evaluate modified CMA volumetric, mechanical and durability properties by some waste materials. Previous studies described that the mechanical properties of CMA are shown to be influenced by different factors including base bitumen grade, porosity of the mix, curing time and additives. The current research is designed to use the waste and by-product materials as filler to enhance the conventional CMA early age strength. Hence, …

Understanding Land Use-Transport Integration: A Literature Review on Theories and Practices in Urban-Transport Planning
Abstract: For many years, it has been understood and can be generalized from various researches and quantitative modelling that there is a causal relationship between land-use typology and travel demand/behaviour as the former influences the later in urban areas. The idea of land-use transport integration models evolved due to the need felt by the urban planners and managers for quantitatively forecasting future pattern of city and regional development as well as …

Sustainability of Cold Recycled Mixture with High Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Percentages
Abstract: The main goal of this study is to evaluate cold mixtures incorporating various percentages of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) which is a typical sustainability technique to enhance the modern flexible pavement technology. The physical properties of RAP materials, new emulsion asphalt and new aggregate have been tested to evaluate the characteristics of these materials. Two mix design methods have been developed for control cold mix without RAP and recycled cold …
