Kansas State University has had a Traffic Assistance Services for Kansas (TASK) for several years to develop and present training materials to local government personnel with the objective of improving safety. The authors have promoted the concepts of positive expectancy and positive guidance in all of their materials. For example, these concepts a

The following data provide estimates of alcohol involvement in fatal crashes for the United States and individually for the 50 state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (not included in the national totals). These estimates are based on data from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). unfortunately, known BAC test results are not

FAA Historical Chronology: Civil Aviation and the Federal Government, 1926-1996, edited by Edmund Preston. Soft cover, Stock No. 050-007-01222-5. Describes key events in: the evolution of the aviation regulatory structure; the history of airlines and aircraft manufacturing; the development of air traffic control and air navigation; accidents and sa

A five-span continuous precast segmental horizontally curved concrete bridge erected in balanced cantilever as part of the US Highway 183 interchange with Interstate Highway 35 in Austin, Texas, was instrumented with concrete strain gauge devices, thermocouples, and tilt meters. The response of the structure was studied during erection, during live

Fast track paving has centered on the use of construction materials and methods to improve the rate of placement and curing to reduce the traffic delay time. The State of Iowa has been able to make large improvements in the fast track process to meet target traffic delay constraints through material selection and construction methods. At the same t

A comparison is made between the approaches used by the State of New Mexico, USA, and the Ministry of Communications, People's Republic of China, using applications of Systems Engineering for Transportation (SET) to a specific pavement performance problem. A comprehensive approach to transportation is clearly advantageous. However, projects are dir

New opportunities have been created for underground gas storage as a result of recent regulatory developments in the energy industry. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 636 changed the economics of gas storage nationwide. Pipelines have been required to "unbundle" their various services so that pipeline users can select only what

The results of this research note are based on 1996data for fatal crashes, driver licenses, and estimates of total crashes based upon data obtained from the nationally representative sample of crashes gathered in the General Estimates System (GES). The average annual miles of travel estimates are from the 1995 NPTS survey.
Researchers conducted an experimental program to investigate production techniques and mechanical properties of high-strength concrete and to provide recommendations for using these concretes in manufacturing precast/prestressed bridge girders. High-strength concretes with 28-day compressive strengths in the range of 8,000 to 18,600 psi (55.2 to 12

VDOT is implementing Pontis 3.0 to provide the analytical component of its Bridge Management System (BMS). This system prioritizes bridge maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement (MRR & R) needs using cost/benefit analysis. The accuracy of this analysis depends on the condition assessment of the structure and the cost data of MRR & R op

International aviation is still dominated by the remnants of a 1950s regulatory regime. A mosaic of bilateral treaties continues to control supply, price, and market share as well as other aspects of aviation. The U.S.-Japan airline market was previously defined by the U.S.-Japan Bilateral Agreement of 1952, as amended. This paper offers a glimpse

Following the liberalization of air services in Europe in 1988 and more liberal agreements with countries outside Europe, European air carriers have come under increasing pressure to reduce costs. This has been in response to growing competition in their markets from fellow European carriers and the U.S. airlines. Labor has been the most obvious ar

The Aviation/Aerospace Teacher Education Workshops have been recommended by the Illinois Task force for Aviation/Space Education (1988) as a way of encouraging aeronautical education. The workshop will be offered to elementary school teachers. During the course of the workshop, the teachers will become familiar with aviation fundamentals and issues

The International Air Transportation Competition Act of 1979 heralded the era of Open Skies in international aviation. This paper traces the post-war regulation and then deregulation of fares, rates, routes, and capacity all the way from Bermuda I through the partial dismantling of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) price fixing app

The gradual liberalization of intra-community air services began when Europe?s airlines were going through a profitable period (1983-1989), but the more fundamental changes arising from the second (effective November 1990) and especially the third (effective January 1993) liberalization packages occurred at a time when economic recession and a down

In November and December of 1994, investigators from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, conducted a survey of based-users and transient-users of Palwaukee Municipal Airport of Wheeling, Illinois. Palwaukee is designated as a reliever airport by the Federal Aviation Administration and thereby eligible for federal funding. The purpose of the s

Since the 1980s, there have been expectations that a substantial commercial market for launch services using small launch vehicles woulddevelop. In fact, commercial launches of small launch vehicles have, in theory, been available since the mid-1980s. However, the firstcommercial launch of a small vehicle did not occur until 1993. Since then, the m

The African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) held its Fifteenth Plenary Session in Abuja, Nigeria from 20-24 April 1998. The meeting was held at a critical period in the global history of civil aviation when the winds of change and liberalization in air transport were sweeping the air transport industry, calling for fierce competition among carrie

Airlines can cultivate new business, enjoy repeat patronage through progressively attractive awards given directly to frequent fliers, deter emerging airlines from entering established markets, and compile the demographic profiles and travel characteristics of their members through sign-up procedures and computerized flight logins. This paper exami

The proposed international aeronautical monetary fund has its genesis in the Latin American Civil Aviation Commission (LACAC) which proposed the inauguration of the fund to finance air navigation services provided by the satellite based Communications, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) system. It was the consensus of LACAC t
