The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiated research in 2015 to develop the Integrated Modeling for Road Condition Prediction (IMRCP) system. This innovative prototype system makes those what if statements plausible. IMRCP could help support a transportation agency’s overall safety and strategic operations decisions.
The GIS in Transportation team publishes quarterly newsletters to share information about significant geospatial transportation news, events, and applications. Each issue highlights a specific transportation agency's application of GIS or geospatial data and technology.
This guide is intended to support agencies that are interested in conducting pedestrian- and bicycle-focused RSAs and includes information on safety risks for both modes, the RSA process, necessary data, and the roles and responsibilities of the RSA Team. Also included are updated prompt lists for pedestrians and bicyclists to use in the field. Thi

This study evaluated the performance of four coating systems applied on chloride-contaminated steel substrates. The purpose of the study was to identify coating systems that can provide extended service life for steel bridges with minimal surface preparation at a much reduced cost. The study helps estimate the amount of chloride contamination coati
