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 (the East-West Corridor). The East-West

High occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities are an important tool in relieving the congestion that continues to build on many urban roadways. By moving more people in fewer vehicles, the existing infrastructure can be used more efficiently. Operating HOV lanes is not a simple matter however. HOV lanes can be controversial, and the task of making them c

This report describes a set of CMS monitoring procedures, collectively called Travel Time with GPS (TTG), which can be implemented on low cost, commonly available PCs. The main contribution is a GPS-GIS methodology which can be used by district engineers, city traffic officials, and MPO planners to conduct travel time studies and monitor congestion

The Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 1996 established the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici (NLD) domestic preparedness program. The General Accounting Office (GAO) was requested to review implementation of the NLD program. Specifically, the GAO (1) examined threat and risk assessment approaches used by several public and private sector organiz

This is the final report for a study to evaluate the use of sacrificial cathodic protection for reinforced and prestressed concrete bridge members. Cathodic protection (CP) using impressed current is an accepted and common method used to provide corrosion protection to steel in concrete. Sacrificial cathodic protection, however, is relatively easy

A study has been conducted to evaluate and analyze Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements in order to develop recommendations for the design and construction of long-lived concrete pavements. In involved a detailed evaluation and analysis of the PCC pavement data in the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database using a variety of means to de

Human factors can be defined as designing to match the capabilities and limitations of the human user. The objectives of this human-centered design process are to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of system performance, ensure a high level of safety, and maximize user acceptance. These objectives are achieved by systematically applying rele

The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Strategic Planning Committee was formed in May, 1997, with individuals from various public and private organizations.The primary objective was to lay groundwork for short-term and long-term commitments for ITS projects in Louisiana. The committee was then divided into three subcommittees based on the ITS

This research study is concerned with the development of a set of procedures for monitoring congestion using GPS and GIS. These procedures are meant to be used more as a planning tool than for everyday traffic monitoring. Under this assumption, a series of travel time runs are conducted along specified routes at specific time intervals. The procedu

This project was designed to document the effects of transplanting on seagrass re-vegetation rate at dredged material placement areas and to compare utilization of these sites by fishes and crustaceans with that in adjacent re-vegetated placement areas and in undisturbed seagrass beds. The objective of the project was to determine ·whether dredged

The Department of Transportation's (DOT's) Federal Transit Administration (FTA) administers a multibillion-dollar program of financial assistance for grantees that provide urban and rural public mass transportation. In 1992, the General Accounting Office (GAO) designated FTA's management and oversight of billions of dollars in federal transit grant

The number of vehicles with adaptive equipment is expected to continue to increase as the U. S. population ages and as access to employment, travel, and recreation continues to improve for persons with disabilities, as a result of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To guide agency research in this area, National Highway Traffic Safety Admin

Construction, maintenance, and operation of the transportation system affect air, water, soil, and biological resources, as well as neighborhoods and communities. This reality has imposed tremendous responsibilities Transportation agencies must comply with various federal environmental statutes and regulations as they carry out transportation plann

Concrete is a porous material. When saturated with water and then cooled to below 00C, it cracks internally. Upon repeated freezing and thawing, the cracks grow, interact, and lead eventually to macroscopic degradation, termed ice damage. This report reviews the phenomenon and considers the underlying mechanisms. New explanations are given for the

This publication consists of a listing of experimental products that are being or have been evaluated by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) or other transportation agencies.
This is the summary of a study conducted by C.V. Zeeger, H.F. Huang, J.R. Stewart, and C. Williams of the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center. The purpose of this study was to examine National Highway System (NHS) safety issues using the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Safety Information System (HSIS). The HSIS data
