The OT applies repeated direct tension loads to asphalt mixture specimens by fixing one side of the specimen to one block and allowing the other side to slide to apply tension in a cyclic triangular waveform to a constant maximum displacement of 0.025 inches. The result of the OT is an evaluation of the specimen’s critical fracture energy parameter

Traffic incident management (TIM) has proven to be an effective way to mitigate the risks associated with roadway incidents for response personnel, as well as drivers approaching the scenes. Effective TIM clears roadways faster, removes visual distractions more quickly, and ultimately restores commerce and mobility. The key concepts, principles, an

Serious and fatal traffic incident investigations require detailed measurements that often close roadways for extended periods. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have proven to be effective in reducing the amount of time needed to document fatal crash scenes, and there is great potential for their application to other traffic incident management (TIM

A picture is worth a thousand words, especially in the traffic incident management (TIM) world, where images from the scene can help responders and transportation management center (TMC) operators alike. Video sharing allows responders to better plan their response, which ultimately improves safety and promotes safe, quick clearance.
The 2021 National Inventory of Specialty Lanes and Highways provides an inventory of 10 classes of specialty lanes and highways that complement general-purpose highways. These facilities provide time-savings or safer separation of travel for qualifying vehicles. The inventory covers all 50 States and Puerto Rico. Researchers and practitioners shoul

Safe Speeds is a core principle of the Safe System Approach since humans are less likely to survive high-speed crashes. Enforcing safe speeds has been challenging; however, with more information and tools communities can make progress in reducing speeds. Agencies can use speed safety cameras (SSCs) as an effective and reliable technology to supplem

Electronic fare payment (EFP) has long been used in the transit industry to facilitate fare collection. These systems, representing an advancement from mechanical or operator-based cash-only systems, can eliminate the need for travelers to have exact change when taking transit. They can also reduce operational costs for agencies, as cash is expensi

Work zones play a critical role in the preservation and enhancement of roadways. They separate construction and maintenance activities from traffic, providing a safe route for all road users (motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists) and a safe area for workers. However, work zone-related changes in traffic patterns and rights of way, combined with t
