Over the last nine years, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has constructed 13 projects using crumb rubber modifiers (CRMs) in asphalt concrete pavements using both the wet and dry process. Three of the projects included more than one type of CRM. All projects included a control section. Research data have been collected on the majorit

A review of Traffic Services' traffic signal work records reveals the source of the backlog. During the 1980's, the department experienced personnel cutbacks and hiring freezes that caused the number of field personnel to drop from 40 to 24. Simultaneously, the backlog of work orders tripled to over 500. Another major factor in the backlog problem

This report documents the construction and performance of two thin polymer concrete (with polyester/styrene resins) bridge deck overlays. The overlays were constructed in Biggs and Maupin, Oregon in June 1993.Several problems were encountered during construction the resulted in bare spots and/or rough riding surface. The bare spots could be attribu

Rutting caused by studded tire wear has become a major issue in Oregon because of the impact on the infrastructure and the increase in driving hazards. It is estimated that the cost to mitigate the damage from studded tire use in 1993 alone is $42 million statewide. The ruts caused by the studs lead to reduced pavement life which increases the life

In support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airborne Data Link Program, CTA INCORPORATED researched airlines' anticipated near future cockpit control and display capabilities and associated plans for Data Link communication. This effort was conducted in two parts. The first published study was entitled "Study on Airlines' Anticipated Ne

Simulated emergency egress from Type III over-wing exits was studied to support regulatory action by the FAA. Passageway width and seat encroachment distance adjacent to the Type-III exit were the major variables of interest.Methods. Two subject groups of differing mean ages were employed in a repeated-measures evaluation of different passageway wi

This paper provides an overview of the scientific literature regarding Crew Resource Management (CRM). It responds to tasking from the Office of Air Traffic Program Management to conduct studies addressing the application of team training models such as CRM for air traffic operational and administrative tasks. The authors report that there is no si

The introduction of new aggregate sources to Louisiana in the mid 1980s has presented problems in asphalt concrete mix design and construction. Absorptive aggregates such as reclaimed portland cement concrete and some stones now being supplied have made asphalt content determination a critical aspect of mix control. Current test procedures take sev

Soil nailing has recently been introduced in Oregon as an alternative lateral earth support method. The first permanent soil nail wall on the state's highway system was used where an underpass was widened under the existing Oregon Slough Bridge in Portland, Oregon to provide for additional travelling lanes. The project required removal of the exist

This report documents the construction and performance of two thin polymer concrete (with polyester/styrene resins) bridge deck overlays. The overlays were constructed in Biggs and Maupin, Oregon in June 1993. Construction of the overlays was less than ideal. The polymer concrete on both bridges has since delaminated resulting in blocks of loose ma

Over the last nine years, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has constructed 13 projects using crumb rubber modifiers (CRM) in asphalt concrete pavements using both the wet and dry processes. The dry process is where the rubber is added to the aggregate prior to mixing with hot asphalt. The wet process is where the rubber is first blend

Topographic surface modeling using a Geographic Information System (GIS) can be useful for the prediction of soil erosion resulting from highway construction projects. The assumption is that terrain, along with other parameters, will influence the potential for soil erosion in a given area. Disturbance of the surface in highway construction will re

The present study was conducted for four consecutive years to assess the exposure of field workers applying herbicide mixtures (2,4-D + Roundup and Garlon 3A + Roundup) and to determine the toxicity and fate of these herbicides in the environment. Study results indicated that exposure of workers to these mixtures via inhalation was insignificant co

Numerous changes have occurred in the National Airspace System since the spring of 1994 when data was gathered for the original National Sector Survey, conducted to gauge the effects of ATC delays on system users. This update reflects those changes.
This Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) represents the project selection document for federally funded projects. Project priorities are indicated by the year the project is programmed. This TIP is a multi-year, multi-agency listing of transportation improvements for the Yuma County portion of the Yuma Metropolitan Organization's area covering
