The goal of this project was to explore the fuel efficiencies of SPaT broadcasts interacting with CVs to control speed along connected corridors. The findings from this investigation could then be used to inform possible future SPaT deployments.
This report summarizes the results of a research task that was conducted to document the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) current state-of-the-practice for crack sealing, identify best practices used or researched by state DOTs for crack sealing, and identify new methods and equipment for crack sealing that can improve the efficiency, respo

Given the novelty of the Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA) in Massachusetts, this research study provides MassDOT with a greater understanding of their impacts from an approach-level perspective. More so, this study provides the agency with a holistic overview of infrastructure and operational impacts at each of these intersections, ultimately leading to

This research identifies opportunities to enhance revenue including yield management, creative fare schemes and campaigns, partnerships attractions and institutions. As part of this effort, the authors interviewed overseas rail operators to provide examples of revenue enhancement as well as operators such as Brightline and Amtrak to identify exampl

This research is focused on updating the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Statewide Capital Investment Strategy (SCIS), which outlines NJDOT’s strategy to comprehensively invest in deficiencies and improvements to address statewide system goals. The update of the SCIS is a requirement under the Transportation Trust Fund Authority Act

Historically, apart from a very limited number of specifically authorized exceptions, WisDOT has been required to utilize the design-bid-build method of project delivery. Over the years, several studies have been undertaken, and proposals made, to expand the department’s authority to utilize alternative methods of project delivery, including design

The goal of the Safe Corridor Program is to identify corridors with high rates of serious and fatal injury crashes and reduce these crashes in the short-term through the use enforcement and engineering. Both components contribute to the goal of reducing serious injury crashes by encouraging drivers to change poor behaviors within safety corridors a

Intelligent compaction (IC) is a roller-based innovative technology that provides real-time compaction monitoring and control. IC can monitor roller passes, vibration frequencies/amplitudes, and stiffness-related values of compacted materials or intelligent compaction measurement Values (ICMV). Various ICMVs have been introduced since 1978. Based o

The project and risk management policies and strategies used by other DOTs in the country were evaluated. The purpose is to gain insight into how they measure and manage project development and delivery, and ultimately obtain ideas to improve ODOT’s own project management methods.
In previous research, investigators developed and deployed two warning systems, including MN-QWARN, which was installed on a segment of Interstate 94 (I-94) with a historically high crash rate. This system targeted shockwaves or initial stages of congestion based on the understanding that not all congestion events create high risks for crashes. Cer

The primary objectives of this study are to develop a detector performance monitoring system for both off-line and on-line applications, and to implement such a system for the Eastern Shore region’s current and proposed sensors, including: evaluate the data quality and reliability of the six sensors deployed in the Eastern Shore region; assess the

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is constantly looking for ways to reduce maintenance costs following construction using native seed mixes while ensuring all Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements are met. Davey Resource Group “DRG” was contracted by ODOT to develop seed mixes for various habitats and research appropr

The objective of this research project was to develop new curve numbers for four land treatments, bare soil, gravel, vegetation, and porous HMA, on top of subsoils with a series of hydraulic conductivities, typical of NJDOT highway projects.
Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is an excellent material for bridge construction due to its exceptional durability and superior mechanical properties. Several Departments of Transportations (DOTs), including NDOT, have limited the use of UHPC in bridge construction to joints and connections between bridge components due to the relatively hig

Artificial lighting at night alters natural patterns of light and dark in ecosystems and includes chronic or periodic illumination, unexpected changes in lighting, and direct glare that can have serious implications for ecological systems, such that it is increasingly referred to as “ecological light pollution”. ALAN occurs at an extent and magnitu

The goal of this research is to complete the following objectives: • Inventory relevant transportation investment plans for New Jersey, including capital programs for NJDOT, NJ TRANSIT, NJTA and SJTA. • Coordinate amongst all SCIS stakeholders, including key collaborators at NJDOT, NJTA, SJTA and NJ Transit. • Draft an SCIS document that meets all

Innovative or nontraditional transportation programs and platforms have emerged for rural communities, largely fueled by digital technology. Public-private partnerships, car- or bike-shar?ing, and other local networks offer promising solutions to meet rural transit needs more equitably and efficiently. In addition to benefiting underserved populati

Concrete overlays of full depth reclamation (FDR) are a pavement rehabilitation option involving reclamation of existing pavement layers while providing a new concrete surface to the roadway. This report reviewed nine concrete overlays of FDR that have been constructed in three states since 2006. Design and construction details were collected for e

Sliplining is a method used by transportation agencies to rehabilitate deteriorated culverts. In recent years, ODOT discovered a number of sliplined culverts that did not have their annulus void spaces completely filled. Such culverts experience distortion and settlement as well as reduced structural capacity. Field inspections of several sliplined
