Incident response and application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
(Virginia Tech, 1996-07-25)
Traffic congestion has been identified as the one of the most serious
problems in urban transportation. Not much can be done in finding solutions to
recurring congestion problem. As a part of ITS research in the 90's, a ...
GIS Applications in Urban Tree Inventory
(Virginia Tech, 2007-08-09)
This project evaluates and demonstrates some applications of a GIS-based urban tree inventory. This was done by (1) collecting and analyzing data for Tinker Air Force Base (AFB), and (2) collecting and evaluating data for ...

(Virginia Tech, 2010-04-27)
The United Company’s corporate headquarters resides on 65 acres in a residential area just east of downtown Bristol, Virginia. The main office complex on the south side of campus is accented by a mixed landscape of trees, ...
MODELING THE IMPACT OF PROJECTED LAND COVER ON LYME DISEASE EMERGENCE
(Virginia Tech, 2014-06-06)
Lyme disease is a common tick borne disease in the US. Lyme disease emerged from the Northeast and in the past decade, Virginia has been witnessing a rapidly increasing trend in incidence. This thesis uses land cover ...
Integration of a GIS and an expert system for freeway incident management
(Virginia Tech, 1996-09-15)
Congestion due to traffic accidents and incidents can be reduced through effective freeway
incident management. However, this is plagued by a number of problems and requires a
high level of expertise and coordination among ...
Web-Based Platform for Force Main Infrastructure Asset Management
(Virginia Tech, 2016-08-13)
Asset management of force main infrastructure entails accurate prediction of the condition of the system to operate and maintain at the lowest overall costs. In this thesis report, guidelines for asset management of force ...
Exploring the “Where” and the “Why” of Conservation Easements: The Role of Community-level Factors in the Likelihood of Adoption
(Virginia Tech, 2016-12-09)
Over the past several decades conservation easements have seen immense growth in their popularity. There are now over 40 million acres of easement land in the United States, up from only 1.4 million in 1998. A significant ...
Distributed Hydrologic Modeling of the Upper Roanoke River Watershed using GIS and NEXRAD
(Virginia Tech, 2003-03-27)
Precipitation and surface runoff producing mechanisms are inherently spatially variable. Many hydrologic runoff models do not account for this spatial variability and instead use "lumped" or spatially averaged parameters. ...
Using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Imagery to Model Radio Wave Propagation
(Virginia Tech, 2003-03-20)
The purpose of this study was to determine if light detection and ranging (LiDAR) imagery could provide a significantly more accurate data set for modeling near line-of-sight (LOS) propagation at higher frequencies, ...
