A Constrained Conditional Logit Model (CCLM) based on the hypothesis that the existing resource constraints have significant effect on an individual's mode switching is developed. Theoretical and empirical studies reported here have supported the validity of this hypothesis. Data were collected on traveler demographics and commuter modal choice in

Freeway bottlenecks are a primary source of congestion, and the removal of several bottlenecks in Dallas has shown a favorable reduction in delay. Solving a freeway bottleneck can be highly complex, and existing analytical tools have been inadequate for congested conditions. Driving behaviors in congestion were observed at several sites on freeways

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has road weather information system (RWIS) stations at 40 locations throughout the state. Each station consists of equipment to measure and record meteorological data, and from one to five sensors to measure certain pavement and subsurface conditions. Until recently, VDOT had two contracts in place t

Various agencies have used the Corps of Engineers gyratory testing machine (GTM) to design and test asphalt mixes. Materials properties such as shear strength and strain are measured during the compaction process. However, a compaction process duplicating void levels in the pavement after traffic has not been clearly defined when using the oil-fill

Limited capital investment for major transportation improvements and growth in metropolitan areas require the most efficient use of the existing transportation system. One means to achieve this is high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. While an extensive system of permanent HOV lanes is planned for the Dallas-Fort Worth urbanized area, the Texas Depar
