The objectives of this research were to provide a comprehensive study to examine safety issues associated with commercial driveways and to develop guidance for transportation agencies responsible for access management.
Jay’s Majic Mud (JMM) was investigated for possible use as either a rapid-set patching material or as a potential new alternative, novel, thin-bonded overlay system. In its current pre-packaged form, JMM does not meet the requirements for rapid-set material use, nor does it meet the permeability requirements needed for use as a standalone (neat) mi

KDOT currently uses a variety of thin bonded overlay systems to prolong the life of bridge decks in Kansas. These vary in both thickness and material type from thin ¼ in. bonded polymer overlays to common 1.5 in. silica fume concrete overlays. Jay’s Majic Mud was submitted as a potential new material product that could serve as a cost-effective alt

While LiDAR (light detection and ranging) is not a new technology to UDOT, mobile LiDAR has not been used to enhance culvert inspections. The study reviewed two types of mobile scanning technologies for testing culverts, Pocket LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro based laser emitter that is used to improve accuracy of photogrammetry) and SLAM LiDAR (simultaneous

This research project sought to better understand the mechanisms of pile driving-induced ground vibrations in loose to medium-loose soils. Additionally, the research team sought to develop a method for predicting ground deformations caused by impact pile driving, specifically for the characteristics of Central Florida soil conditions.

Non-traffic motor vehicle crashes are a class of crashes that occur off the public trafficways. These are mostly single-vehicle crashes on private roads, two-vehicle crashes in parking facilities, or collisions with pedestrians in driveways. In addition, there are “non-traffic incidents” such as a vehicle falling on a person underneath the vehicle
