• Abstract:
  "The state of Wyoming has frequent severe wind conditions, particularly in the southeast corner of the state along Interstate ; 80 and Interstate 25. The high winds are problematic in many ways including, interfering with the performance of the ; transportation system, blowing vehicles off the road, or even overturning high profile trucks, which can cause economic ; losses and safety concerns for road users. The primary objectives of this research involve two parts: First, develop a ; statistical model that reveals the correlation between likelihood of overturning trucks and the weather conditions. Second, ; use the result of the statistical model to develop a data driven operation plan for Wyoming Department of Transportation ; (WYDOT) to use in the winter season at a hazardous high wind corridor to improve truck safety."
