An analysis of area type and the availability of alternative transportation services on subjective well-being : are people happiest in cities?
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
This study is a comprehensive analysis of how rural, suburban, and urban areas compare in terms of the subjective well-being (SWB) of their residents and how the availability of transportation services affects SWB. Because ...
Inferring travel activity pattern from smartphone sensing data using deep learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Understanding the travel routine of the individuals is important in many domains. In transport research understanding daily travel routine is crucial for modeling the travel behavior of the individuals. Such models help ...
Evaluation of the KanchanTM Arsenic Filter under various water quality conditions of the Nawalparasi District, Nepal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
In 2002, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering partnered with the Environment and Public Health Organization to develop and disseminate the KanchanTM Arsenic Filter ...
A framework for measuring passenger-experienced transit reliability using automated data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
A public transport operator's ability to understand and improve service reliability experienced by passengers depends upon their ability to measure it. Traditionally, largely due to data collection limitations, passengers' ...
Effects of a tuned mass damper on wind-induced motions in tall buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
With ever increasing constructability capacities, engineers have found solutions to build taller and taller structures. However, the race for the sky has not only brought up new ways of building, it has also created new ...
Analysis of crane and lifting accidents in North America from 2004 to 2010
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Cranes are the fundamental machinery used during lifting operations, and are crucial to the construction industry. Several key construction processes would be impossible without cranes and the benefits they provide. Cranes ...

The impact of Amtrak performance in the Northeast Corridor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The performance of Amtrak's Acela and Regional services in the Northeast Corridor (NEC) is a topic that, while frequently discussed as substandard by some travelers, has received minimal attention in the compendium of open ...
Urban transportation networks : analytical modeling of spatial dependencies and calibration techniques for stochastic traffic simulators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Exact numerical evaluation of the stationary joint queue-length distribution of a Markovian finite capacity network with arbitrary size and topology can be obtained numerically. Nonetheless, the main challenge to such an ...
