slope case study

The number of slope failure cases in Brunei Darussalam has been observed to increase during periods of intense rainfall, such as during the month with peak rainfall. Like other countries around this region, a recommended value of slope angle during earthwork and construction has been established. However, the apparent correlation between landslides and high rainfall intensity suggests that an inve...

This paper presents a literature review of the application of cement, lime and polymer emulsion in road construction. The focus is mainly on the soil candidates, binding mechanism, the reported strengths and weaknesses for each chemical stabiliser used in soil stabilisation. While it is generally agreed that cement is best suited for sand-sized to gravel-sized soil mixtures (well-graded), lime is ...

The quality of road pavements is an important factor to ensure an acceptable level of service and safety to the road users. When flexible road pavements are to be constructed on weak sub-grade soils, it is often necessary to provide a stabilised sub-base to improve their relevant engineering properties. This paper presents the results and observations from a laboratory investigation evaluating the...

edge computing deep learning pre-trained models object detection rasberry pi intel movidius

Modern technologies are being developed to address the alarming rise in road accidents caused by drivers’ errors. We leverage computer vision and deep learning at the edge (i.e., in a car) to detect vehicles and pedestrian that are in the surroundings. This information can then be employed to direct driver’s attention to relevant information, minimizing the effects of human errors. This work explo...

road safety impact hostspot identification hotspot ranking spatial traffifc accident analysis alternate and road lighting

The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of alternate road lighting (i.e. switching off every other road light at selected roadways) on road traffic accident (RTA) hotspots using Spatial Traffic Accident Analysis (STAA) - a GIS hotspot analysis method that takes into account RTA frequency and socio-economic impact. STAA was used to identify and rank into four hierarchical risk levels day...

road illumination road safety road lighting

Several measures, such as reduced lighting, may be adopted to minimise energy consumption while providing an optimal and safe level of road lighting. One approach to evaluate the safety impact of reduced road lighting is by using Geographical Information System (GIS) to identify road sections with low level of illumination and high risk of road traffic accidents. The GIS approach required a cost-e...
