It is the intent of this paper first to compare results from RADTRAN 4 (Neuhauser and Kanipe, 1992) and RADTRAN 5 for the old, low-resolution form of input data, and then to demonstrate what effect the new data and input format have on stop-dose estimates for an individual stop and for a hypothetical shipment route. Finally, these estimated public

This report summarizes progress made in Phase I of the geographic information system (GIS) based Accident Location and Analysis System (GIS-ALAS). The GIS-ALAS project builds on PC-ALAS, a locationally-referenced highway crash database query system developed by the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT). Users can query the database by location a

A methodology is presented for the prediction of delamination growth in laminated structures. The methodology is aimed at overcoming computational difficulties in the determination of energy release rate and mode mix. It also addresses the issue that many laminated composites exhibit large-scale crack tip damage zones and, as such, a singular field

The key element in improving traffic operations and performing real-time management is the ability to assess the effectiveness of various alternatives prior to implementation. Likewise, the crucial feature for providing this capability is a Traffic Data Management System (TDMS), which gathers data and makes it available for various for various traf

Olmsted Locks and Dam (L&D) is one of the largest civil works projects undertaken by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to lead the modernization effort of navigational facilities for the twenty-first century. Maintaining a robust navigational infrastructure to facilitate the water-borne transportation and to meet the demand for the ever-inc

Over 4.5 billion of non-hazardous wastes are generated in the United States each year. Out of these wastes over 200 million tons of post consumer waste is generated. The disposal of post consumer waste is the responsibility of municipality and society. Fo;See also PB94-198140. Sponsored by Federal Highway Administration, Columbus, OH. Ohio Div. and

Full-scale crash testing was completed in this project to assure that a previously developed low profile end treatment complies with test level 2 criteria for terminals and redirective crash cushions as presented in NCHRP Report 350. Together, the new end treatment and the low-profile barrier provide an innovative barrier system acceptable for use

As the threat of terrorist activities has increased in the United States, the need to improve domestic aviation security has grown. Currently, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), other federal agencies, and the aviation industry are implementing 31 recommendations on aviation security made by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and

This report summarizes the development of a robotic system designed to assist aircraft inspectors by remotely deploying non-destructive inspection (NDI) sensors and acquiring, processing, and storing inspection data. Carnegie Mellon University studied the task of aircraft inspection, compiled the functional requirements for an automated system to i

The study was designed to determine the change in travel time following the implementation of the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) in Oakland County, Michigan. A before/after comparison was used to examine the change in travel time on a specific corridor (Orchard Lake Road). The results of the study showed that corridor travel-tim

The $$300 million was transferred to the Coast Guard in compliance with the statutorily required certification by the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Defense that those funds would be used only for the performance of national security functions. The funds were transferred to the operating expense account from which all Coast Guard

A variety of laboratory and full-scale fire tests were conducted on an ethanol-based gel-type hand cleaner currently used in commercial aircraft lavatories. The waterless-type hand cleaner has a relatively low flash point, raising concern over its fire safety when in use in the galley area of commercial transport aircraft where radiant ovens are of
...
An acoustic emission test for aircraft Halon 1301 bottles has been developed, a prototype acoustic emission test system constructed, and over 200 used bottles tested at the repair facilities of the two manufacturers of these bottles. The system monitors a bottle with six acoustic sensors while the pressure of the bottle is raised by heating it in a

Small cracks developing from rivet holes in lap joints of fuselage structure have been an issue of concern over the past decade. Stress-intensity factor solutions required to assess the structural integrity of such configurations are lacking. To address this need, the domain integral method was used in this research to obtain the mode I, normalized

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utilization of substandard or marginal aggregates in flexible pavement construction of airport pavements. This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effects of using lower quality aggregates such as rounded uncrushed gravels and sands on the rutting of flexible pavements. The scope of this resear

A device was constructed to simulate an exploding aerosol can. The device consisted of a cylindrical pressure vessel for storage of flammable propellants and base product and a high-rate discharge (HRD) valve for quick release of the constituents. Simulator tests were conducted using representative constituents and propellant quantities for compari

This study is in response to the congressional request in Section 1213 of theFederal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act of 1996 for information onair service and fares at small communities. It is a follow-up to the InitialService Analysis report submitted in January 1997 and covers available fareinformation and analysis.
In Order to determine equivalent static pressures for fatigue loads on cantilevered highway support structures acantilevered Variable Message Sign(VMS) located along Interstate westbound at mile marker 48.5 in northernNew Jersey was continuously monitored for three months. The structure was instrumented with strain gages,pressure transducers, and a

The researcher developed correlations among flexural, split tensile, and compressive strengths and ultrasonic pulse velocity from laboratory testing using materials and mix designs proposed for use in a paving project. These relationships were used to review the current Virginia Department of Transportation specifications and quality control proced

This study, conducted by Bechtel International, was funded by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. The member countries of the South Balkan Initiative Program (Albania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria) are seeking to improve their transportation infrastructure and quality of transportation services along Corridor 8 (East-West Corridor). The East-West Cor
