A construction scheduling technique is presented which is, in many cases, more advantageous, to both the contractor and the owner, than bar charts typically provided by contractors, particularly for projects that are linear in nature or have repetitive activities scheduled in phases (e.g. roads, piping systems, bridge spans, and high rise buildings

This report reviews current research and practice on modern roundabouts, both in the US and other countries. The report compares the advantages and disadvantages of roundabouts, summarizes safety implications, and discusses pedestrian and bicyclist considerations. Guidance from other states on the geometric design of roundabouts is reviewed, as are

The objective of this study was to develop hydraulic design charts for the location and sizing of set-back curb inlets. An extensive program of hydraulic model testing was conducted to evaluate the performance of various inlet opening sizes. The grade and cross slope of the pavement was varied as was the water flow in an effort to determine the max

The response of a concrete filled, steel pipe pile-to-concrete pile cap connection subjected to extreme lateral loads was experimentally and analytically investigated in this project. This connection is part of a bridge support system used by the Montana Department of Transportation that consists of a linear array of piles connected at the top by a

The Program Directorate for Aviation Simulation and Human Factors (ACT-500) of the Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center determined that there should be a standardized method to create technical documents. The Human Factors Branch (ACT-530) was tasked to develop this document. They decided that standardizing technical d

This approach was used in the study conducted for the Louisiana DOTD. A sample of 20 inhouse and 17 consultant designs conducted in the previous five years were used to establish 37 pairs of design costs. For each pair, comparative design costs were measured as the ratio of inhouse to consultant design cost. The analysis showed that, on average, in

The primary aim of this text is to attract the attention of researchers and practitioners working with computer networks to possible gain in precision, speed, and economy of their experiments by employing advanced techniques of optimal experimental design. Unlike in many other experimental areas where the cost of measurements is dominant, in compu

One of the most critical parameters in the structural analysis and design of new and rehabilitated pavements is the characterization of truck traffic. The technology of Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) has been implemented in many countries in order to measure the weight of individual axles and gross vehicle weight, while at the same time classifying vehicles

This edition of New Mexico Traffic Crash Information reviews traffic crash data in New Mexico from January through December, 1997. It presents crash data in the form of graphs for those who prefer an impressionistic view and tables for those who require reference information. Maps are provided where a geographic perspective is useful. The statistic

This report documents the findings of a Fuel Flammability Task Group made up of recognized fuel and combustion specialists investigating the flammability and explosiveness of fuel within an aircraft fuel tank. The task group reviewed all available reports on the subject and met and discussed the data with technical experts from Boeing Commercial Ai

The report presents an overview of technological developments in traffic and transport that may be expected to occur in the next ten to twenty years, including their relevance to rural areas. The dominant role of private cars in rural areas will even increase during the next few decades. Text in Dutch; summary in English. Prepared in cooperation wi

Some of the most effective investments and programs to reduce pollution from the transportation sector, such as land use planning, improved urban design and alternative transit infrastructure investment, have the greatest potential to achieve emissions reductions in the long term because they address structural aspects of urban sprawl and the depen

This report assesses the extent to which transit agencies, particularly in Florida, measure and monitor compliance with service capacity constraint requirements associated with the complementary paratransit provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). In particular, this study examines four types of service indicators, as sugges

The focus of this project is to use a standard methodology to evaluate the Super Two concept for improving the geometrics of two-lane, two-way rural highways. This concept modifies existing lane usage by providing some form of alternating passing lanes on a reconfigured 44 foot cross section. The study includes the determination of signing and stri

Implications of Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 with regard to use of public transit and paratransit by people with disabilities are discussed in terms of physical, psychological, and communication barriers. Recent trends in amelioration of those barriers are described. A survey of several selected transit organizations who have been identi

In the last 10 years, icing, turbulence, dangerous winds, a lack of visibility,and other weather conditions have been cited as a cause or contributing factorin nearly a quarter of aviation accidents. The General Accounting Office (GAO)examined the actions FAA has taken to address the recommendations raised by NRCand FAA's advisory committee. In thi
