The TTI CM/ AQ Evaluation Model was originally developed for the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) by JHK & Associates. After reviewing it, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) sought enhancements to this model for use in Texas and other nonattainment states. The resulting model is called the TTI CM/ AQ Evaluation Model. The TTI CM

The Lubbock District of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is planning the acquisition of railroad right-of-way from the Seagraves, Whiteface, and Lubbock Railroad Company (SWLR) as part of the U.S. 82 East-West Freeway project. During the planning process, several questions have arisen regarding the long-term commercial viability of th

This document describes the development of updated rigid pavement distress prediction models for the Texas Department of Transportation's Pavement Management Information System (PMIS). It makes use of pavement condition data in databases maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at

The Houston ITS Priority Corridor is one of four corridors selected by the U.S. Department of Transportation to showcase Intelligent Transportation Systems applications. The Texas Transportation Institute assisted the coalition of four local governments, comprised of the Texas Department of Transportation, Metropolitan Transit Authority (METRO), Ha

This report is in MS Word 6.0/95 format. A key task of the Aging Aircraft Nondestructive Inspection Validation Center (AANC) at Sandia National Laboratories is to establish and apply a consistent and systematic methodology to assess the reliability of inspections through laboratory and field experiments. Under this mandate the Nortec-30 Eddyscan in

This course is one of a series of courses making up a National EMS education program for out-of hospital care. The First Responder is a designated level of emergency medical care provider as outlined by the National EMS Education and Practice Blueprint. The term "first responder" has been applied to the first individual who arrives at the scene reg

These guidelines have been developed to help Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) personnel effectively operate highway advisory radio (HAR) systems. Operators should continually bear in mind that it is of paramount importance that HAR messages be accurate, timely, and useful. While this document provides guidance, it can in no way replace

Simulated emergency egress from Type III over-wing exits was studied to support regulatory action by the FAA. Passageway width from the aircraft center aisle to the Type-III exit was the major variable of interest; effects of individual subject attributes on egress were analyzed to determine whether such variables should be better controlled in fut

Performance of operators in aviation systems is highly dependent on their ability to visually scan information sources, identify problematic situations, and respond appropriately. Scanning behavior has often been mentioned as a contributing factor in the performance of air traffic controllers. An investigation was initiated to identify how alterati

In aviation accident investigations, specimens from fatal aircraft victims are analyzed for drugs. Their presence indicates exposure to drugs and suggests possible associated medical conditions for which they might have been taken. As drugs are mostly present in therapeutic to subtherapeutic levels in aviation forensic toxicology cases, determinati

Readiness to perform (RTP) testing is considered by some to be a broad-based alternative or supplement to biochemical testing for drugs and alcohol. Since it is also thought to detect impairment due to other sources (e.g., fatigue, illness, depression), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is interested in exploring its scientific validity and

Historically, the development of advanced automation for air traffic control in the United States has excluded the input of the air traffic controller until the end of the development process. In contrast, the development of the Final Approach Spacing Tool (FAST), for the terminal area controller, has incorporated the end-user in early, iterative t

Washington State has begun a program to dispose of highway runoff in which a priority has been given to the use of infiltration type technologies (e.g., infiltration basins, dry wells, etc.). Heavy metals are the most prevalent priority pollutant in highway runoff. Though traditionally these heavy metals are thought to possess relatively large reta

Using a generalized simulation model, a moving-base simulation of a lift-fan short takeoff/vertical landing fighter aircraft was conducted on the Vertical Motion Simulator at Ames Research Center. Objectives of the experiment were to (1)assess the effects of lift-fan propulsion system design features on aircraft control during transition and vertic

Public transportation use saves energy and reduces emissions by taking people out of single passenger automobiles and putting them into high occupancy, energy efficient transit vehicles. Furthermore, public transit ridership and vehicular trip estimates are the base information required for estimating energy consumption and air pollution. Trip gene

Historically, highway-railroad grade crossings have represented a major hazard to motor vehicle drivers. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has initiated a comprehensive research program to address grade crossing safety issues in order to reduce the number of train-motor vehicle collisions. One area

This report updates the General Accounting Office's October 1993 report on the allocation of Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds from 1982 through 1994 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Information is provided on FAA's allocation of AIP funds by type of airport and by type of project over a 13-year period, with an emphasis on 1992 t

This advisory circular (AC) identifies minimum standards for design, performance, testing, and safety of personnel protective equipment (PPE), frequently referred to as personnel protective clothing for airport firefighting. This AC also assists airport management in the development of local procurement specifications for acceptable, cost-effective

This Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) project focused on developing a new system to detect the position of a vehicle relative to the center of the roadway lane. This system utilizes a phase detection process in the vehicle to determine the position of the vehicle relative to a resonant circuit (loop) installed in the center of the
