Accelerating bus electrification : enabling a sustainable transition to low carbon transportation systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)With growing agreement that credible pathways to zero carbon electricity exist, many support the notion that widespread electrification of the transportation sector will be an essential strategy for meeting scientifically-based ... -
Accerlated curing of concrete with microwave energy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
The accessibility and development impacts of new transit infrastructure : the Circle Line in Chicago
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis explores the impacts of new transit infrastructure projects on the land use transportation system. Land use and transportation systems are inherently interconnected and form an integrated system; and transport ... -
Accessibility-based analysis of infrastructure improvements to the Multimodal Western Corridor in Massachusetts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)MassDOT is in the planning stages of the Allston I-90 Interchange Improvement Project which, largely due to public participation, could evolve into a multimodal project involving replacing the structurally deficient highway ... -
Accessibility-based transit planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)A method for evaluating transit planning proposals using accessibility metrics is advanced in this research. A transit-accessibility model is developed intended for use by in-house transit agency planning staff as a ... -
Accounting for Rehabilitation Activity Uncertainty in a Pavement Life Cycle Assessment using Probability and Decision Tree Analysis
(National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, 2015-08-12)In any life cycle assessment (LCA) for pavements, the designer must decide on which rehabilitation activities will be used to maintain the pavement over the analysis period. While this sounds simple, the fact is that there ... -
Achieving mass customization in the Boeing Wire Responsibility Center
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Customized options are costly to produce using the current production and design methods of the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group (BCAG). The company is redesigning its engineering and manufacturing processes in order to ... -
Acoustic data communication system for in-pipe wireless sensor networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Sustainability of aging infrastructure is one of the greatest current civil engineering challenges, especially in the case of pipelines, where no direct access is available. Being simultaneously massive and distributed, ... -
Acoustic emissions in hydraulic fracturing of Barre granite
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The purpose of this work is to observe acoustic emissions (AE) generated by laboratory scale hydraulic fracturing of Barre granite specimens with single or double flaw geometry. The scope of this work covers the experimental ... -
Acoustical wave propagation in buried water filled pipes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis presents a comprehensive way of dealing with the problem of acoustical wave propagation in cylindrically layered media with a specific application in water-filled underground pipes. The problem is studied in ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1959) -
Active control of extremely prestressed simple supported composite bridges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)More than 600,000 US bridges are considered to be in need of rehabilitation. More than 90 Billion US Dollars is the estimated amount of money required. According to the National Bridge Inventory, 18.5% of those bridges are ... -
Active control of tensegrity structures and its applications using Linear Quadratic Regulator algorithms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The concept of responsive architecture has inspired the idea structures which are adaptable and change in order to better fit the user. This idea can be extended to structural engineering with the implementing of structures ... -
Activity based travel demand model system with daily activity schedules
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Activity choice analysis time allocation and disaggregate travel demand modeling.
