    Abstract: Transportation systems are discussed in the parallel to mass transport, intercity and intracity railways and marine lines. Especially in the metropolitan areas; they are vital and the main part of the problems and solutions. Modal integration and high balanced modal distribution are the key issues for metropolitan transportation solutions. These pa... Show More

    Abstract: In this study, mixture regression models were developed to predict water absorption, measured by swelling index (SI), and durability, represented by retained stability index (RSI), of warm mix asphalt concrete (WMAC) modified with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) and soybean oil (SO). The experimental design involved partial replacement of bitumen w... Show More
