When the effects of Travel demand management (TDM) are quantified, it's usually in terms of mode splits, vehicle miles traveled, average vehicle ridership, pounds of pollutants saved, and so forth. But to fully appreciate the effect of TDM strategies, we have to set the numbers aside for a moment and look at the lives of real people, real companies

All information concerning Iowa traffic crashes was taken from report forms provided by investigating officers and drivers involved in crashes. All statistics are gathered and calculated by the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Office of Driver Services. National statistics are obtained from “Traffic Safety Facts 1998” published by the U.S. Depar

This report presents an evaluation of current performance modeling concepts and a feasibility study of the possibility of integrating network- and project-level performance prediction. The widely differing modeling methods in use today are reviewed and the design and management systems in use in TExas are briefly discussed.
The goal of this project was to assess the environmental impact of using fly ash and flue gas desulphurization (FGD) residues (produced by pulverized coal-fired power plants which employ semi dry scrubbing technology) in earthworks. The use of fly ash and FGD residues was compred with the use of natural minerals (sand, gravel and macadam) in road c

The commercial space transportation industry has witnessed unparalleled growth in the number of commercial launches over the past few years. Last year witnessed the largest number yet, 35 commercial launches worldwide, nearly twice the 21 commercial launches of the previous year. The United States, in particular, has experienceddramatic growth in c

The conventional methods of determining origin-destination (O-D) trip tables involve elaborate surveys, e.g., home interviews, that require considerable time, staff, and funds. To overcome this drawback, a number of theoretical models that synthesize O-D trip tables from link volume data have been developed. The focus of the research reported here

The mileage and vehicle miles of travel data in the following tables are based onroads/streets located within the District's geographical boundaries (AdministrativeDistrict).Vehicle miles of travel (VMT) are calculated by multiplying the mileage times the annualaverage daily traffic (AADT). VMT data are expressed as either daily vehicle miles oftra

This laboratory study compared several methods of selecting the optimum asphalt content of surface mixes. Six surface mixes were tested using the 50-blow Marshall design, the 75-blow Marshall design, two brands of SHRP gyratory compactors, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' gyratory testing machine (GTM) with the oil-filled and the air-filled ro

Accurate and timely information regarding impending weather conditions is important to several public agencies in Virginia. Potential problems including flooding, heavy snowfall, and damaging winds necessitate planning and pre-event deployment by many units of Virginia agencies. The acquisition and dissemination of weather reports and forecasts can

The National Research Council (NRC) was asked to conduct an independent assessment of the safety management process used by the Aircraft Certification Service of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to define how the current process might be improved. The committee was asked to review common causes of accidents and incidents involving civil ai

This study was conducted to review the Pavement Condition Rating (peR)methodology currently used by the Ohio DOT. The results of the literature search in thisconnection indicated that many Highway agencies use a similar methodology to rate theirpavements. However, due to the linear nature of the current peR model, it is deficient incertain respects

The Iowa DOT's Offices of Construction are seeking ways to use benchmarking, the concepts of quality management, and outside facilitation to improve their methods and processes. Iowa State University researchers and the Offices of Construction Benchmarking Steering team have developed a performance measuring system and have collected considerable b

Dividing roads into "homogeneous" segments has been a major problem for all areas of highway engineering. SDDOT uses Deighton Associates Limited software, dTIMS, to analyze life-cycle costs for various rehabilitation strategies on each segment of road in its network. Unfortunately, dTIMS makes the "optimal" strategy selection for each segment indep

The Iowa DOT was interested in automated collision diagram products. The Center for Transportation Research and Education (CTRE), an Iowa State University center, completed an evaluation. This paper presents the findings. An automated collision diagram program quickly and accurately generates a graphic of intersection accident history. Limited huma
