Compaction and Strength Properties of Road Subbase Infused with a Latex Copolymer

Noor Hadijah Abdul Hadi, Soon Jiann Tan, El-Said Mamdouh Mahmoud Zahran, Muneerah Jeludin

There are significant challenges to the design and construction of roads and highways worldwide. There are many contributors to these challenges, including weak subgrade soil. This paper investigates the potential to stabilise and improve the compaction and strength characteristics of a road base through infusion with a non-hazardous latex copolymer dispersion. Brunei Darussalam was selected as a ...

Design of a RFID-based speed monitoring system for road vehicles in Brunei Darussalam

M Adi M Sarbini, Syed Bilal Hassan, Tan Soon Jiann, PM Nazri PH Ahmad

A vehicle average speed monitoring system (ASMoS) design is proposed for speed management in Brunei Darussalam. This paper explains the principle of a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)-based speed monitoring system, including all hardware and software considerations. Off-the-shelf industry standard RFID development kit is integrated with a Raspberry-Pi board as the Central Controller Unit (CCU...

GIS-based forest fire risk assessment for the Belait district

Safwanah Nimatullah Mohd Said, S. Shams, E. M. M. Zahran, Yok Hoe Yap

Widespread forest fires have been a regular event in the Southeast Asian region particularly during dry periods. Brunei Darussalam, as one of the Southeast Asian countries, loses hundreds of hectares of forests every year, and more. Fire behaviour varies under different conditions and the nature of the forests. The degrees of challenge and impact posed by fires differ with types of forest cover an...

Planar and Network Spatial Analyses of Road Traffic Accidents – A Review of Methods and Tools

Angel Eng Hie Tan

Developed and developing countries are observing increasing rate of road traffic accident (RTA) and they are investing in efforts trying to reduce the frequency and severity of RTA. Extensive research has been going on to develop methods to analyse historical RTA data using GIS tools to identify and rank RTA hotspots. This helps in prioritising expenditure distribution on road maintenance at road ...

Spatial analysis of road traffic accident hotspots: Evaluation and validation of recent approaches using road safety audit

El-Said Mamdouh Mahmoud Zahran, Soon Jiann Tan, Tan Eng Hie, Nurul Amirah 'Atiqah Binti Mohamad 'Asri Putra, Yok Hoe Yap, Ena Kartina Abdul Rahman

Reducing road traffic accidents (RTA) and their socioeconomic costs is an increasingly important priority in many countries. In recent years, many authors have proposed various approaches to analyse historical RTA data using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, so that locations with high instances or risk of RTA – i.e., RTA hotspots or blackspots – could be identified and ranked. This could...

Statistical Correlation between Road Surface Roughness and Traffic Accidents

N. Hikmah, Soon Jiann Tan, E.S.M.M. Zahran, Yok Hoe Yap, H. Taib

Road surface condition is widely accepted as one of the most important factors that affect the safety of a land transport system. Although various researchers examined different types of surface condition, only a few focused on how road roughness, particularly quantified by International Roughness Index (IRI), can contribute to the occurrences of Road Traffic Accidents (RTA). Previous studies have...
