A Demonstration of Expert Systems Applications in Transportation Engineering
By:Ardeshir Faghri,Michael J. Demetsky
Published on 1987 by
Expert systems, a branch of artificial-intelligence studies, is introduced with a view to its relevance in transportation engineering. Knowledge engineering, the process of building expert systems or transferring knowledge from human experts to computers, is described. The general differences between expert systems and conventional computer programs are summarized. The architecture of the expert system is shown to separate knowledge of the problem domain (knowledge base) from general problem solving knowledge (inference engine). Different approaches to each of these tasks are described. Recent developments in computer software that support and simplify the development of expert systems are presented, and recent applications to three transportation engineering problems are described. Background information is given to recommend the development of a prototype expert system for traffic control in construction zones.

Transportation
By:Nancy Rommelmann
Published on 2012-01-01 by
Short stories by the author of THE BAD MOTHER and THE QUEENS OF MONTAGUE STREET |Nancy Rommelmann's startling stories are as compelling as they are unsettling. The worlds she creates are recognizable but also completely and wonderfully unfamiliar. She writes close to the body, and we are made to feel each uncanny detail. Transportation is a fascinating, fierce, and original collection of stories.| --Dana Spiotta, author of Stone Arabia |I inhaled this book in one sitting, thoroughly hypnotized. Rommelmann has the uncanny ability to tease out the nightmarish moments of everyday life in stories that are audacious, darkly hilarious, surprisingly tender and HDTV sharp. Fiction doesn't get any better than this.| --Karen Karbo, author of How Georgia Became O'Keeffe |Somewhere between gritty and your mother's kiss on your forehead lies Transportation, Rommelmann's startling new collection. Each story crackles with violence, folding over into realms of otherworldliness, where the reader dare not look away. As the voice in the title story claims, 'There is only one escape and that is to brush away the sentimental cobwebs, get them out of your eyes quickly, ' which Rommelmann does with razor-sharp precision.| --Deborah Reed, author of Carry Yourself Back to Me Author and journalist Nancy Rommelmann is known for her unflinching documentarian gaze, usually focused on subjects like serial killers and Munchausen moms, con-men and homeless teens. But the stories in Transportation have an elevated, untethered quality-they are transported, and transporting. The storytelling surges at times toward sci-fi; at others, toward an unadorned magical realism. The first story in the collection, |The White Coyote,| is an intense, black-humored study of shame that takes place in a Catholic grade school gymnasium. The title story, |Transportation,| documents the metaphysical journey of two grieving parents who must literally circumnavigate the globe, on separate paths, in order to heal.
