The study examined the relationship between a truck driver's driving record in a personal vehicle and in a large truck, with special focus on the value of the personal driving record for predicting future performance in the truck. The study included a literature review, analysis of data, and an expert panel to review the findings. Driver history fi

To minimize premature failures, the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) proposed binder tests that can identify poorly performing binders. To meet new performance grade specifications, a modifier is typically added to the binder. Occasionally, state highway agencies specify a particular modifier type and modifier content to be included in the

The work contained in this interim report provides a case study describing the design, construction, initial structural evaluation, and performance predictions of the full-depth perpetual pavement constructed on SH 114 in the Fort Worth District. Based on the research findings, recommended improvements to design and construction practices are propo

Deployment of 2+1 Road with Barrier in Colorado certainly has potential to improve safety. How much safety benefit to expect, however, is, so far, somewhat uncertain. The Swedish design is widely implemented and has a record of success, so proposed Colorado Design is substantially based on it, with some modifications recommended to better reflect U

Since 1973, a special category of Federal-aid highway safety funds (Section 203) has been available for safety improvements at railroad-highway grade crossings. These funds are apportioned to each State highway agency annually and are used to pay 90 percent of the cost of improvements at selected crossings. Over the last 13 years, each State has be

The State Highway 9 (SH 9) Colorado River South Wildlife & Safety Improvement Project installed seven large wildlife crossing structures and 10.4 miles of wildlife exclusion fence between Kremmling and Green Mountain Reservoir in Grand County, Colorado. The project was designed to improve driver safety while providing permeability for wildlife acro

Cold recycling technologies such as Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) are sustainable and cost-effective techniques for pavement rehabilitation. Previous research has found current mechanistic-empirical (M-E) default values to be non representative and overly conservative, leading to an underestimation of the true performance capabilities of FDR materia

The main goal of this research study was to develop correlations among R-value, resilient modulus, and soil’s basic properties for available AASHTO soil types in databases in Colorado. In this study, an extensive database of systematically conducted resilient modulus and R-value tests along with the basic soil properties for Colorado soils was esta

During highway construction, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) resident engineer commonly adds “extra work” to the contract as needed for satisfactory completion of the project. One of the formats for contractor reimbursement requires establishing an hourly compensation rate for contractor-owned equipment used to perform the extra wo

The intent of this project is to compare the effectiveness of network screening and diagnostic methods using aggregate SPFs and Test of Proportions with crash type SPFs. Both methods were applied to the same datasets containing crash history and exposure data. Sixteen (16) frequency and severity Colorado-specific crash type SPFs were developed for

This project implemented air-coupled and ground-coupled Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems, developed by the Project 0-4820, to provide the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) with the ability to collect network and project level survey data. The GPR software can extract and report top layer thickness information as well as dielectric co

In this project, the prototyped air-coupled and ground-coupled ground penetrating radar (GPR) devices, that were developed by the Project 0-4820, have been upgraded. Special antenna shielding structures have been developed to guide the electromagnetic energy down into ground to prevent the GPR devices from radiating into the air. After repeating th

Senate Bill (SB) 19-032 required CDOT to conduct a study assessing the feasibility of allowing the transportation of hazardous materials through EJMT and to prepare a study report that includes the findings and recommendations as to whether and under what conditions the transportation of hazmat through the tunnel could be allowed.
This report provides a synthesis on the use and design of snow sheds to protect transportation corridors against avalanches. This report summarizes the various snow shed designs and standards, regulation environment, construction and operational costs, risk, benefits, loading considerations, operational and design considerations, and alternate meth

Following the FHWA report, A Primer on Work Zone Safety and Mobility Performance Measurement, September 2011, regarding work zone safety and mobility measures, CDOT has prioritized the research of select methods to evaluate the performance of the I-25 Gap work zone and future CDOT construction projects. Work zone performance measures provide compar

During a construction project, traffic traveling through the construction zone experiences frequent instances where construction vehicles, incidents, and recurring congestion interrupt traffic flow that result in long queues and delays as well as increased crash rates. In an effort to help mitigate these instances, CDOT has deployed numerous smart
