PDF
The 1990 Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) provides a comprehensive look at personal travel in the U. S. The 1990 survey and the three earlier surveys in the NPTS series yield important data on the travel behavior of the American population. The data is from a survey of individuals conducted throughout 1990. The NPTS series provides

This report documents the findings of a U.S. study team that visited England, The Netherlands, and Germany. The trip sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration was taken September 3-19, 1993. Members of the study team also spent one day in Basel, Switzerland, and obtained a limited amount of information from that visit. The purpose of the trip

Safety evaluations mostly rely on assessment of accident experience over before-and-after periods. One of the common pitfalls in the assessment methodologies is the failure to account for regression-to-the-mean (r-t-m) bias. The sampling bias due to the r-t-m phenomenon may seriously affect conclusions drawn in safety treatment evaluation studies.

The study was based on the assertion that concepts for automated highways and initial implementations will be influenced, primarily, by the design characteristics and limitations of modern vehicles. The study assumed a possible AHS design evolution, then using the functional and performance requirements for these AHSs, constructed a list of APS ope

This report analyzes the requirements, issues, and risks associated with lateral and longitudinal control of vehicles operating on the AHS. This report presents a possible evolutionary path for the automation of lateral and longitudinal control. This evolutionary path is characterized by five evolutionary representative system configurations (ERSCs

The purpose of this project was to gather information to aid in the determination of trip generation rates for various bicycling and walking facilities, such as signed and marked bicycle lanes, wide curb lanes, multi-use paths, and sidewalks. To put it more simply, if a pedestrian or bicycle facility is built, how many people will use it? In the cu

The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 called for the conduct of two studies to assess the transportation systems that support the movement of trade in the United States. The U.S. Department of Transportation delegated responsibility for conducting these studies to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This conference is

This is the fourth in a periodic series of reports issued by the Metropolitan Planning Division, Federal Highway Administration. The two reports in this issue focus on programming Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) funding. The first report provides a description of the multimodal project selection process used by the Capital

In October 1993, a team of Federal, State, and local officials visited major centers in Europe where substantial national travel survey activities have been undertaken. Among the purposes of the visits were to seek out innovative methodological approaches to transportation survey design and operations, to review European experiences with different

The transportation policies being pursued by the European Community are very similar to those articulated in the United States' Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. In September 1993, a team of four government and state transportation association representatives made a two-week scanning trip to Belgium, the Netherlands, and Ger

This document provides guidance to States, Indian tribes and local jurisdictions on how to apply and implement the Federal standards for establishing, maintaining, and enforcing designated non-radioactive hazardous materials highway routes. The methodology presented in this guide may be used to evaluate various roadway types in terms of the risks t

The check-in activity is one of 16 areas addressed as part of the "Precursor Systems Analyses of Automated Highway Systems (AHS)" study. The objective of this activity area is to identify major requirements, issues, and risks associated with ensuring that a vehicle and its operator can safely enter the AHS. In addition, the results of this precurso

On December 6, 1993, the Federal Highway Administration held a symposium in Washington, DC, to discuss ways of overcoming barriers to public-private partnerships in highway transportation. The invitation-only seminar was attended by over 75 participants representing both the public and private sectors. It provided an opportunity for a broad range o

This is the third in a periodic series of reports issued by the Metropolitan Planning Division, Federal Highway Administration. The three reports in this issue focus on two distinct topics: analysis issues faced in small/medium sized urban areas and cost analysis. The first report discusses the analysis needs of small- and medium sire urban areas a

This handbook was developed to assist design, traffic, and maintenance engineering personnel in making determinations about roadway delineation systems, including the appropriate system for a given situation, when a system has reached the end of its useful life, and how to maintain a quality delineation system. It may also be valuable to consulting

Following the collapse of the Route 198 bridge over the Baltimore-Washington Parkway in 1989, the FHWA determined that there was a need to reassess, on a national level, the specifications currently used to design, construct, and inspect falsework and formwork for highway bridge structures. Towards that end. the FHWA commissioned this synthesis to
