Success to emergency medical and fire services personnel is every injury that has been prevented. In the 1990s, however, it became difficult to maintain prevention programs as budgets declined. The critical components of injury prevention -- problem identification, data collection, resource allocation, and public education -- were adversely affecte

The rigid pavement (RP) database contains historical distress data obtained from more than 400 continuously reinforced concrete pavements(CRCP) and jointed concrete pavements (JCP) across the state of Texas. Data collection efforts began in 1974 and have been undertaken periodically up to the present. This report documents a study of the twenty-fou

The purpose of the Mormon Trail portion of the project was to research, field inventory and evaluate those roads that represent the Mormon's path across Iowa and identify the apparent and intrinsic qualities of these routes. Methods used to accomplish the investigation would emphasize historic, cultural and natural landscape qualities. These method

Epoxy coating is widely used to mitigate the access of chloride ions to the surface of a rebar. However, corrosion at the point of physical defects in the coating necessitates rehabilitation. Based on its effectiveness in mitigating corrosion of uncoated rebars, we examined cathodic protection (CP) as a method for rehabilitating epoxy-coated rebars

This study had three goals: (1) To develop a method for reversing the planning process, such that we begin with transportation system usage and conclude with transportation system usage and conclude with an indication of land use; (2) To validate this process by calibrating the model with historical data and then using it to predict the present. To

We used a simulated concrete pore water solution to evaluate the corrosion protection performance of concrete corrosion-inhibiting admixtures and epoxy-coated reinforcing bars (ECR). We evaluated three commercial corrosion inhibitors, ECR from three coaters removed from job sites, one ECR shipped directly from the coater's plant, and one ECR remove

The purpose of this study was to use Mn/ROAD mainline flexible pavement data to verify, refine, and modify the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) based flexible pavement design procedures and concepts.
This report describes transportation planning data, available in numerous files and formats stored on the accompanying compact disc, that were compiled from planning studies for the Charlottesville/Albemarle area done in 1967, 1979, and 1990. These data were used for a Virginia Transportation Research Council (VTRC) report entitled "Measuring Trans

Poor compaction can lead to early deterioration of an asphalt pavement. It often happens when paving occurs during adverse weather conditions. Yet, in Minnesota, paving must often occur under adverse conditions. A new tool now simulates the cooling of an asphalt mat behind the paver under a variety of environmental conditions. The software, PaveCoo

This document assembles best practices and presents practical advice on how to acquire the software components of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The intended audience is the "customers" - the project leaders, technical contract managers, decision makers, and consultants - who are responsible for one or more ITS systems. The document pres

This report presents the construction and performance evaluation of a bridge deck overlay constructed with a 3M's polyolefin fibers, non-metallic fiber reinforced concrete (NMFRC). The mixture proportions used, the quality control tests conducted for the evaluation of the fresh and hardened concrete properties, the procedure used for mixing, transp

A range of actions to address the transportation revenue shortfall is identified in this report. "Refinancing" refers to the fact that while existing dedicated motor fuels tax and vehicle registration fee sources will continue to be the most significant portions of the TxDOT revenue stream, the funding environment and opportunities are changing-the

Automated enforcement is seen by some public agencies as a means to combat aggressive driving behaviors such as speeding or running red lights. Based upon a review of automated enforcement programs worldwide, several elements were found to be important in successful programs: public education and awareness, involvement of local judiciary, and passa

This project assesses changes in service reliability following the introduction of a new computer-aided bus dispatch system (BDS) based on automatic vehicle location (AVL) technology. The research focuses on three objectives: 1) estimating changes in service reliability due to BOS-related improvements in operations control (i.e., reducing bus bunch

The development of new rail systems in the first part of the 21st century is the result of a wide rangeof trends that are making it increasingly difficult to maintain regional mobility using the twodominant intercity travel modes, auto and air. These trends include the changing character of theeconomic structure of industry. The character of the No

The use of consultants in providing pre-construction engineering design services for the state's Departments of Transportation has increased over the last twenty years. This has resulted in several investigations into the cost-effectiveness of this trend. This paper reviews past studies, examines their methodology, suggests improvements to certain

Louisiana seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of CVO business and operational functions in the state. This overall mission includes three discrete elements designed to address priority needs as identified by state and industry stakeholders. These elements, in order of priority, include: 1) increasing administrative productivity of bot
