Over the past few years, there have been many studies concerning the effects of weaving on freeway operations; however, there have been few attempts to study the effects of weaving at "non-freeway" sites, such as freeway frontage roads. As part of a larger study that is developing a level of service evaluation procedure for freeway frontage roads,

In an attempt to increase the tensile strength of LMC and reduce cracking, steel fibers were added to a LMC mix. The results are what is termed as "latex-modified, fiber-reinforced concrete" (LMFRC). LMFRC was placed on Hayden Bridge as an experimental overlay.The LMFRC overlay has performed well and has not yet developed any visible cracks. The ov

RMODS is a rigid pavement evaluation and backcalculation system developed by the Texas Transportation Institute for the Texas Department of Transportation. The system processes Falling Weight Deflectometer data to generate information on the structural strength of the concrete slab and the subsurface support. Outputs from the system include: a. the

Advances in computing sciences have not been applied to traffic control. This paper describes the development of an intelligent controller. A controller with advanced control logic can significantly improve traffic flows at intersections. In this vein, the paper explores fuzzy rules and algorithms to improve the intersection operation by rationaliz

Addition of ground rubber particles to asphalt can enhance several fold the stiffness of the blend as reflected by G*/sin δ of the rubber-asphalt cements (RACs). Pretreatment of rubber particles with as little as 5% aromatic oil (AO) enhances the apparent compatibility of rubber with asphalt at moderate temperatures; the enhanced stiffness of the b

Fiber-optic cable is recognized as one of the most efficient and reliable mediums of telecommunication available today. The last decade has witnessed an enormous growth in this form of telecommunication. However, one of its major disadvantages is that it requires right-of-way in which to locate the cable. The Interstate Highway system’s right-of-wa

The research notes need ideas for research. The research problems should associate with work and how things might be improved. The ideas must be related to transportation, must apply to more than one location and must be cost effective.
This document provides guidelines for identifying stream instability problems at highway stream crossings and for theselection and design of appropriate countermeasures to mitigate potential damages to bridges and other highway componentsat stream crossings. It is a metricated update of the version published in 1991 under Contract No. DTFH6 1-89-C-
