Excessive sleepiness may result in an increased risk of a motor vehicle crash either because the motorist falls asleep while driving or because he experiences reduced attention to road events and driving tasks due to fatigue/sleepiness. These crashes are primarily of the "drift-off-the-road" sort, as driving off the road may reflect the behavior of

This report presents a review of the current safety situation of vulnerable road users in OECD Member countries. Industrialized societies are aware of the environmental problems generated by motorized traffic in cities and encourage the development of non-motorized traffic in order to improve living conditions for both road users and urban resident

The performance of a stand-alone polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) system directly fueled by hydrogen has been evaluated for transportation vehicles. The study was carried out using a systems analysis code and a vehicle analysis code. The systems code includes models for the various PEFC components and is applicable for steady-state and transien

In an earlier phase of Project 1364, during the process of testing reduced-scale cantilever bent specimens that were models of selected bents used in the San Antonio Y Project, a flaw in reinforcement details was discovered in the joint region of several cantilever bents. The two types of bents that contained this detailing flaw included reinforced

Researchers have explored the issue of air traffic control specialist (ATCS) age and performance many times over the past few decades (Cobb, 1968; Heil, 1999; Trites, 1961; Trites & Cobb, 1962; Schroeder, Broach, & Farmer, 1997; VanDeventer & Baxter, 1984). These researchers have consistently found a negative relationship between the age of Air ATC

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires access to the public right-of-way for people with disabilities. Access to traffic and signal information is an important feature of accessible sidewalks and street crossings for pedestrians who have vision impairments. While most intersections pose little difficulty for independent travelers who ar

The objectives of the report are to develop an analytical model to estimate fuel consumption and to investigate the effects of signal timing on fuel consumption. Several numerical experiments, including a variety of geometric configurations, traffic conditions, and signal timing are conducted to test the AFCM estimation capability and to investigat

This project was proposed to evaluate the feasibility and methodology of implementing match cure technology and maturity measurement systems into TxDOT acceptance criteria for concrete construction projects. This report will deal strictly with the investigation into the use of match cure technology. There are four main objectives of this research p

n the concrete industry, an owner buys quality-control specimens but pays for structural members. This practice can be a problem, given that the acceptance criteria may be less concerned with the quality of concrete in the member and more with the strength of the concrete in the quality-control specimen. However, new technologies can close the gap

Millions of Americans depend on Medicaid-funded transportation to reach medical appointments. In rural areas where medical providers are often in short supply, communities are far from primary care physicians or specialists, and public transportation systems are ususally nonexistent, Medicaid transportation fills a critical need. Medicaid non-emerg
