Concrete mix designs and components may currently be changed during the course of a project. The possible negative effects of such changes on concrete strength, are not determined under the current plant control/project control process. Also, the current La. DOTD specification for acceptance of concrete is based on 28 day compressive strength, but

Studies undertaken for the FHWA revealed a significant moisture damage problem in Louisiana hot mix pavements. At that time an antistrip additive from a qualified products list was required at the set rate of 0.5 percent weight of asphalt cement. The additives were qualified with the subjective ten minute boil test. No provision was made to test th

This study examines the representative Montanans' awareness of multimodal transportation opportunities and looks at their usage of airports in the Montana economy. This study is based on a random survey of 1225 Montana households.
The transportation improvement program shall include the following: “(A) A priority list of projects and project segments to be carried out within each 3-year period after the initial adoption of the transportation improvement program. “(8) A financial plan that demonstrates how the transportation improvement program can be implemented, indicates r

This document contains a prioritized list of surface transportation improvement projects which are expected to begin in the next three years. These projects are planned to develop, improve, and maintain an integrated transportation system for the Abilene Metropolitan Area. The program is intended to efficiently use resources to improve the mobility

This report describes a diode-laser-based vehicle detector and classifier (VDAC) developed under the Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) program. The VDAC uses a scanning laser rangefinder to measure three-dimensional vehicle profiles that can be used for accurate vehicle classification. The narrow laser beam width permits the detecti

This Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) project bridges the gap between proposed Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) decision-making methods and the proposed Advanced Vehicle Control System (AVCS) by providing numerical techniques for determining information necessary to make and implement intelligent driving decisions. The resul

The Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region (SPMR), with 8000 sq. km, has 16 million inhabitants spread irregularly over 39 individual municipalities which are dominated by the Sao Paulo Municipality (SPM) with 8.5 million inhabitants. With approximately 16,000 buses in the SPMR (of which 12,000 in the SPM), competition for urban road space between buses and

This report documents the methodology used to develop the Jefferson, Orange, and Hardin Counties gridded mobile source emissions inventories. Included in the report are an overview of the emission estimation methodology and the 24-hour traffic assignments used in the analyses; the methods used to estimate the seasonally adjusted time-of-day vehicle

The use of cable-stayed bridges in medium- and long-span applications in the United States has increased significantly in the past ten years. Of paramount importance with this type of bridge is the protection of the stay cables from corrosive elements. An extensive survey, reported herein, showed a general concern over the adequacy of the corrosion

This research was directed at optimizing the auditory warnings that may be used in future crash avoidance warning applications. There is a need to standardize such warnings, so that they retain immediacy of meaning across various vehicles, situations, and hazards. The current findings contribute to an empirical basis upon which such decisions can b

The multimodal system planning technique described in this report is an improvement of the methodology used in the Dallas System Planning Study. The technique includes a spreadsheet-based process to identify the costs of congestion, construction, and operation of transportation alternatives for a corridor. There are also several steps before and af

Study attempts to estimate the independent effect on transportation prices from different types of economic regulations: rate regulations, entry restrictions and the providion of antitrust immunity for decisions made jointly by competitors. The study extimates the relationship between intrastate trucking rates and three different types of state lev

This document summarizes the construction and design concepts developed to support the layout and subsurface geotechnical characterization associated with a system of water transport structures planned to provide for drainage of the new 1-35 and Ben White Interchange. The drainage system will consist of a set of vertical drop shafts, in soils and b

The existing horn antennas used in commercial pavement ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems are based on 20-year-old technology and design concepts. In recent years rapid advances have been made in designing planner miniature antennas. In this study a prototype antenna has been designed and tested in the laboratory. The preliminary results indica
