In conjunction with GPS-enabled smart-phones, the method of Floating Car Data (FCD), a part of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), offers faster and cheaper procedure to gather and display real-time traffic data. However, this type of phone at its current state is only able to provide data at low accuracy; thus, additional procedures are required to improve the data accuracy. In this research, an FCD-based monitoring system with virtual trip line (VTL) is designed and implemented, and some formulas are used in the proposed algorithm to minimize the data error. The developed system and...

The first important step in the design phase of engineering structures is to quantify all possible loads that may act on the structures. However, on some circumstances, measurements of those input loads are not completely practically and realizable. Inverse analysis may become the only procedure to estimate the input loads. This book discusses this issue and proposes a number of numerical procedures to reconstruct the loads in accurate manner.
