The Dynamic Interaction between Vehicles and Infrastructure Experiment (DIVINE) Project provided scientific evidence of the dynamic effects of heavy vehicles and their suspension systems on pavements and bridges. These conclusions are detailed in the DIVINE Technical Report [DSTI/DOT/RTR/IR6(98)1/FINAL]. The purpose of the present report is toexami

This paper reports on the test procedure developmentphase of the agency’s Improved Frontal Protectionresearch program. It is anticipated that even after all carsand light trucks have air bags for drivers and front seatpassengers there will remain over 8,000 fatalities a yearand over 100,000 moderate to severe injuries. Thisresearch program will add

The report provides updated information on highways, bridges, and transit conditions, performance, finance, and investment requirements from all sources to meet the anticipated demands in both highway travel and transit ridership.
Provide a narrative workforce analysis using the relevant civilian labor force. Analyze occupational categories, grade groupings, and major occupations.
This report contains recommendations that are applicable to federal and state governments for evaluating alternatives to the taxation of heavy vehicles. An evaluation procedure and general assessments and recommendations on future activities are presented. The report provides guidance and resource material for use by federal and state agencies. The

This article examines bicycle use and safety behavior in Paris, Boston, and Amsterdam. Population-adjusted bicycle and passenger car death rates in France, the United States, and The Netherlands provide context for understanding bicycle use and safety behavior. Observation data on helmet use and use of lights at night are also presented. Boston has

This report presents estimates of alcohol involvement in fatal traffic crashes that occurred during 1996. The data represent a combination of actual blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test results recorded in the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) and estimated BAC for those drivers and nonoccupants for whom BAC test results are not available. B

The fiscal year (FY) 1998 budget request for DOT makes a down payment on meeting thetransportation challenges of the 21st century. A total of $38.4 billion is proposed to supporttransportation programs in FY 1998. This is approximately one percent lower than the FY1997 enacted level.
Reports of increased difficulties in meeting the minimum voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) requirements have surfaced with the recent use of Superpave volumetric mix design. The low VMA of Superpave mixes can generally be contributed to the increased compactive effort by Superpave gyratory compactor. This has led to the increased use of coarser asph

The SRPE contains specifications for a profile for use with georeferenced two-dimensional raster data. Both raster image and raster grid data are included within the scope of this profile. The transfer of indirectly referenced images is permitted, i.e., a satellite image of St. Louis, MO where city and state are the only ground based reference incl

This publication presents information on how Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can help us operate and manage the transportation system to its potential. Mainstreaming ITS will be needed to maintain the mobility and accessibility the public demands and to leverage transportation investments with ITS operations and management approaches. Furt

Concrete bridge decks are prone to ice accumulation. The use of road salts and chemicals for deicing is cost effective but causes damage to concrete and corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete bridge decks. This problem is a major concern to transportation officials and public works due to rapid degradation of existing concrete pavements and bri

In the past five years there has been an International Experiment to Harmonize Friction Measurement by the World Road Association (PIARC) and within the past three years there have been at least four separate studies on winter friction, a five year joint winter runway program between NASA, FAA, Transport Canada (TC), the Canadian National Research

Electronic screening of commercial vehicles at weigh stations is important to enforcement agencies and motor carriers as it allows both parties to use their resources more efficiently. This paper studies the effects of electronic screening on reducing the fuel consumption for motor carriers. The hypothesis that was tested was that a reduction or el

To study the effect of freezing/thawing conditions on pavement performance, data from three electrical resistivity (ER) measurements (resistivity, resistance, and voltage) are collected approximately every month, every other year at selected Seasonal Monitoring Program (SMP) sections. This document describes the mathematical analysis of this data.

Concerned that terrorists might move beyond using conventional weapons to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) - chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear devices - Congress authorized the federal government to improve capabilities to respond to such incidents, particularly at the local level. The General Accounting Office (GAO) was asked to revi

Following disastrous earthquakes in Alaska and in Nii(cata, Japan in 1964, Seed and Idriss developed and published the basic simplified procedure or evaluating liquefaction resistance of soils. The procedure, which is largely empirical, evolved over decades, until it has now established itself as the standard practice in North America and through-
