In 1997, a Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) Thin Bonded Overlay (TBO) using a one and one-half inch thickness was placed on two bridges, I-10 at the Bonne Carre Spillway and US 90 at Bayou Des Allemands, under the Applied Research & Technology Program of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), section 6005(e)(7). Section 6005 pr

The Oregon Department of Transportation has monitored rutting caused by studded tires since 1974. In the past decade, the damage has increased rapidly. The overlay was divided into four sections. Each section received a different type of thin asphalt lift. The F-mix is an open-graded mix that ODOT has used successfully on other interstate sections.

Decision Support Systems models were developed for comparing the relative performance of the operation of any set of Mass Transit Agencies (MTA) and for comparing the relative performance of any given mass transit agency over time. The models were applied; See also Volume 1, PB95-251856. Prepared in cooperation with FAMU/FSU Coll. of Engineering, T

The objective of this study was to determine the crashworthiness and aggressivity of passenger cars, light trucks and vans (LTVs) in traffic collisions. The data for the analysis was taken from the NHTSA Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the General Estimates System (GES) for 1991 to 1994 were used for fatalities, and for crash involvement

A traffic accident records system is a necessity for a cost-effective safety program at any level of government. The more complete the system, the more potential exists for the application of scarce resources to those accident countermeasures that will be most effective in reducing accidents at the lowest cost. The Federal Highway Administration (F

This System Design Document (SDD) is developed to provide the requirements and system design for the Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) Project of the Model Deployment Initiative (MDI). This SDD is based on the Automated Vehicle Identification Model Deployment Initiative Preliminary Design Document Version 1.0.
Bus systems provide a versatile form of public transportation with the flexibility to serve a variety of access needs and an unlimited range of locations throughout a metropolitan area. Because buses travel on urban roadways, infrastructure investments needed to support bus service can be substantially lower than the capital costs required for rail

This report describes work done on a roundabout animation program during 1997. The roundabout animation program began as an undergraduate class project and has evolved to its current state. The program is based on the principle of an autonomous agent. The cars are programmed to speed up, to slow down, and to enter the roundabout based on an accepta
