  • text mining and topic modeling of compendiums of papers from Transportation Research Board annual meetings
    Transportation Research Record, 2016
    Co-Authors: Subasish Das, Xiaoduan Sun, Anandi Dutta
    Abstract:

    The collective knowledge system has been advancing rapidly in the recent past. The digitalization of information in many online media—such as blogs, social media, articles, webpages, images, audios, and videos—provides an unprecedented opportunity for the extraction and identification of a knowledge trend. Prominent journal and conference proceedings usually contain extensive amounts of textual data that can be used to examine the Research trends for various topics of interest and to understand how this Research has helped in the advancement of a subject such as Transportation engineering. The exploration of the unstructured contents in journal or conference papers requires sophisticated algorithms for knowledge extraction. This paper presents text mining techniques to analyze compendiums of papers published from TRB annual meetings, the largest and most comprehensive Transportation conferences in the world. Topic models are algorithms designed to discover hidden thematic structure from massive collection...

  • Special Transportation Research Board 2013 Report
    Better Roads, 2013
    Co-Authors: Tom Kuennen
    Abstract:

    Better Roads reports on the 92nd annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, D.C. Among the many presentations of papers were a number on asphalt. This article reports on some of them. One presentation looked at “bio-binders,” environmentally friendly binders and modifiers. Asphalt mixes containing bio-binders perform similarly to conventional asphalt. The bio-binder is made from renewable resources, such as bio-oil, a replacement for petroleum-based asphalt binder. Another presentation was on the subject of improving reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes. Using RAP is becoming more popular, though its asphalt binder becomes stiff due to aging. The stiffness can be addressed with additives to the mix. A third presentation focused on portland-limestone cement (PLC) blends. PLC is similar to portland cement, but the addition of finely-ground limestone improves the sustainability of concrete production by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A fourth presentation covered environmentally sustainable practices for pavement maintenance and preservation, including conserving the use of energy and virgin materials, reducing greenhouse gases by keeping the roads in good condition. The final presentation addressed in the article was on permeable asphalt and “heat islands.” The use of permeable asphalt pavements can help to reduce the heat island effect on roads in urban areas. Permeable pavement allows water to drain through the surface into sublayers and the ground below, helping keep the roads cooler.

  • Eureka! Research That Makes a Difference
    Better Roads, 2012
    Co-Authors: Tom Kuennen
    Abstract:

    Over 4,000 peer-reviewed papers or posters were presented at the 91st Transportation Research Board meeting, held in Washington, D.C on January 23-27, 2012. This paper summarizes five of the road- and pavement-related papers. These papers covered a variety of issues, including the use of intelligent compaction to improve quality control of hot mix asphalt paving; reclaimed asphalt pavement as a means of dust suppression; pervious concrete incorporating recycled concrete asphalt; the construction of a fully prefabricated bridge in Michigan using accelerated bridge construction principles; and the use of precast concrete pavement for Interstate-66 in Virginia.
