This document presents a guide designed to help public private partnerships in their efforts to provide Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) services. It first examines why ATIS can be useful in managing transportation networks and increasing options for travelers. Issues that impact an ATIS business plan are identified. Five business model

Advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) are moving beyond the research stage to become fully integrated elements of urban transportation management systems. By definition, ATIS work best when multiple public and private organizations are able to cooperate. However, the details of how public agencies will work both together and with private com

Established as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and now managed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program faces a significant challenge. Over the past decade, the LTPP program has developed a solid knowledge base for understanding how pavements perform. Its challenge through

To study the effect of freezing/thawing conditions on pavement performance, data from three electrical resistivity (ER) measurements (resistivity, resistance, and voltage) are collected approximately every month, every other year at selected Seasonal Monitoring Program (SMP) sections. This document describes the mathematical analysis of this data.
