This report contains the contents of the project to enhance load rating methods for assessing corroded unstiffened steel beam ends for the six New England States. The first task of the project was to collect and compile inspection reports information provided by DOTs within New England. The research team was able to carefully identify trends and pa

How aggressive driving is defined, what factors precipitate such behavior, and what strategies effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of aggressive driving behavior are not widely understood. The proposed research sought to address these gaps through a two-phase project. The purpose of this project was to support work in Phase 1. A literature

This research will focus on innovative practices to improve geotechnical data management, highlighting the development and implementation of a web-based platform to efficiently visualize and interpret geotechnical data, and to eventually facilitate project delivery. A web-based platform can incorporate multiple types of geotechnical and geoenvironm

The objective of this study is two fold. First, the study will review and evaluate the current PMS decision matrix and provide recommendations on the trigger values for different maintenance and rehabilitation treatment types based on mechanistic-empirical pavement design, pavement performance modeling, machine learning, decision-tree optimization,

As more automated vehicles enter shared roadways, an essential aspect of automated vehicle (AV) safety is understanding the interactions between these vehicles and other road users. Anecdotal incidents about aggressive following and overtaking behaviors at crosswalks near the Med City Mover (MCM), a low-speed automated shuttle (LSAV) pilot demonstr

This study’s objective was to determine if access management treatments in Louisiana have an economic impact on roadside businesses. The specific access management treatments observed in this study are J-turns, right-in-right-out entrances, raised medians, raised curb channelization systems, and center turn lanes. The research focused on business s

The percentage of passenger vehicle drivers talking on handheld phones decreased from 2.5 percent in 2021 to 2.1 percent in 2022. The percentage of drivers speaking with visible headsets while driving remained unchanged from the previous year’s level of 0.4 percent. Drivers' visible manipulation of handheld devices decreased from 3.4 percent in 202

This study aims to compare the feasibility of battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell powertrains for concrete mixer trucks to determine which is the better zero-emission powertrain for the industry to transition towards. Duty cycle modeling simulations are used to estimate both the component specifications required to meet the operational requirem

This study evaluated the design properties of the geosynthetic reinforced soils for the roadway pavement and compared the reinforcing performance depending on different geosynthetics and soil types, particularly for a subgrade layer in Nebraska. The results obtained from a large direct shear test, pullout test, and soil chamber test with a dynamic

Between 2016 and 2021, MnDOT installed retroreflective signal backplate borders at 116 signalized intersections in Minnesota. Retroreflective signal backplate borders are intended to further increase visibility of the signal head both during the day and at night. The goal of installing retroreflectivity to backplates is to reduce crashes at the int

Diatomaceous soil contains large amounts of fossilized diatoms and is known to have non-textbook, often contradictory, properties: high natural water content, high liquid limit, and high compressibility, but also high shear strength. Diatomaceous deposits intersect existing and potential Oregon Department of Transportation project sites in central,

This paper develops Doppler-based Geometric Dilution of Precision (D-GDOP) analysis for time-diverse Doppler-only positioning and presents an associated batch filter. The former Doppler-only positioning solution requires at least eight satellites to be view simultaneously and discards previous Doppler measurements. In cases where fewer than eight s
