This report documents the development of monthly and seasonal average daily traffic (ADT) factors for performing estimating AADTs. It appears that seasonal factors can estimate AADT as well as monthly factors, and it is recommended that seasonal factors be used. Hourly distribution factors were also developed in this study. These are to be used in

County Business Patterns is an annual series that provides subnational economic data by industry. The series is useful for studying the economic activity of small areas; analyzing economic changes over time; and as a benchmark for statistical series, surveys, and databases between economic censuses. The series serves various business uses such as a

Many urban transit providers are faced with the problem of declining ridership on traditional fixed route services in low density suburban areas. As a result, many fixed route services in such areas are not economically viable for the transit provider. Ridership levels on such routes could be increased by adding more flexibility to the fixed route

The research project examines the role of TxDOT projects in promoting economic diversification in Texas. The authors conclude that while good access is a necessary condition for diversification, it is not sufficient to assure diversification. The role of the transportation network is not dominant in the decision process for industrial site location

The purpose of this project is to advance the state of knowledge on the long-term behavior of ground anchors and make practical recommendations. Two important issues were addressed: long-term movements and corrosion. For the long-term movements, some of the main findings from the physical and numerical simulations are: 1. Given the same total ancho

Railroads continue to play an important role in the Texas transportation system. This study addresses the potential for implementing a rail planning process in the Texas Department of Transportation. The study is documented in three reports, produced in coordinated and parallel efforts by the Center for Transportation Research and the Texas Transpo

There is a concern that none of the existing concrete-embeddable reference electrodes that are being used as a convenient means for monitoring the condition of the reinforcing steel in concrete bridges or the operation of cathodic protection systems for permanently halting steel corrosion in these structures may have sufficient stability of at leas

Department of Energy (DOE) AL Weapons Surety Division (WSD) requires the SR-101 Inert Reservoir Package tomeet applicable hazardous material transportation requirements. This Safety Analysis Report (SAR) is based onrequirements in place at the time of packaging development (ea. 1992). Both DOE Order 5610.1, Packaging andTransporting of Nuclear Expl

The purpose of this paper is to present estimates of potential safety benefits resulting from full implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the United States. These estimates were derived by integrating results from a number of different sources including field operational tests, model deployments and simulation studies. In thi

This primer is designed to provide basic information about the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund (HTF). It describes how the fund works, its sources of revenue, what the balances are, funding levels, and budgetary constraints on spending levels. It does not address, in any detail, the Mass Transit Account of the HTF. The primer is designed

Silt-tire and clay-tire mixtures, containing 0% to 100% shredded tire material by weight, with tire chips ranging in size from 7mm-13mm, 13mm-25mm, and 25mm-38mm, were tested for a series of engineering properties including compaction characteristics, permeability, unconfined compressive strength, friction angle, cohesion, and compression index. In

A team from the Remote Sensing Laboratory, operated by Bechtel Nevada for the U.S. Department of Energy, conducted a series of radiological measurements at the Clean Slate 1 site on the Tonopah Test Range, which is located southeast of Tonopah, Nevada. The team performed a series of gamma radiation measurements during April 28-June 19, 1997, while

The Dynamic Interaction between Vehicles and Infrastructure Experiment (DIVINE) Project provides scientific evidence of the dynamic effects of heavy vehicles and their suspension systems on pavements and bridges in support of transport policy decisions that affect infrastructure and road freight transport costs. Six separate Research Elements were

New public law, which limits the time a Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) recipient may receive benefits to a maximum of five years, has caused a re-examination of the causes leading families into the welfare cycle and the barriers to bringing the recipient into the work force. This report focuses on one of the major obstacles individua

This report presents the results of slow, cyclic, lateral-loading centrifuge tests performed on models of pile-cap foundation systems and seat-type bridge abutements in dry Neveda sand of 75% relative density to study the lateral response of these systems.
This report documents the results of a comprehensive fire safety analysis of the 180' WLB Seagoing Buoy Tender. The Ship Fire Safety Engineering Methodology (SFSEM) and associated Ship Applied Fire Engineering (SAFE v 2.2), were utilized as an analytical tool to perform the analysis. The SFSEM is a probabilistic based fire risk analysis methodology

The Government Maglev System Assessment Team operated from 1991 to 1993 as part of the National Maglev Initiative. They assessed the technical viability of four U.S. Maglev system concepts, using the French TGV high speed train and the German TR07 Maglev system as assessment baselines. Maglev in general offers advantages that include high speed pot
