In early 1993, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiated a comprehensive study of rural applications of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The study objectives are to guide federal programs with respect to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies in rural and small urban areas and to provide guidelines for ATI

In 1994, 5,472 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States. Figure 1 shows trends in pedestrian and total traffic fatalities, 1984-1994; and Figure 2, pedestrian fatalities by time of day and day of week, 1994. Of the tables, Table 1 shows pedestrian fatalities and injuries by age group, 1994; Table 2, nonoccupant traffic fatali

Of the 273 occurrences involving vessels in Canadian pilotage waters between 1981 and 1992, 200 involved human factors. A high percentage of those 200 occurrences were identified as being associated with pilots. This study examines the operational relationships between pilots and masters/officers of the watch on Canadian and foreign vessels over 5,

This article presents work conducted on the effect of liquefaction on lateral pile response. Many existing bridges are founded on piles driven through loose sand that may liquefy during earthquake shaking. Both lateral stiffness and lateral capacity of piles (friction or end-bearing) are very sensitive to the properties of the surrounding soil. In

In this work a new concept known as Automated Dependent Surveillance or ADS was introduced. ADS was an improvement to current Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) operations. One of the enabling technologies for the ADS concept was the advent of differential GPS. The other necessary requirement was a communications link between the vessel and the Vessel Tr

This document, as its title states, is an Options Report for the entire corridor. Until now, portions ofthe corridor have been analyzed separately, and improvement strategies developed for distinctsegments. This report presents an overview of the whole corridor for the first time. It necessarilyreflects the fact that the required improvements in so

The Idaho Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan of Idaho's long range transportation planning process sets the stage for changes in our transportation mix. The plan is about expanding options for personal transportation. Most importantly, it is about making the changes needed in Idaho's transportation system to encourage greater use of human-p

Prepared ca. 1995. The Federal Aviation Administration is pleased to present the Aviation Education Teacher's Guide Series. The series includes four publications specifically designed as resources to those interested in aviation education. The guides include activities and lessons specifically designed for use in a variety of content areas at vario

The TxDOT spends a significant amount of money and effort to perform concrete coring. Coring is normally done to monitor the thickness and/or quality of PCC slabs during construction. Because a considerable amount of time is required to perform the procedure, it is done at widely spaced intervals. As a result, the most critical points, in terms of

Bonded concrete overlays are increasingly being used to rehabilitate concrete pavements. Among other benefits, bonded concrete overlays (BCO) can reduce life-cycle costs and can expedite construction (thus lowering user costs and delays). Until recently, the design of bonded concrete overlays has been a tedious process. Several design methods are a

This report details a study which demonstrated the capability of different polymer concretes (mortars) to repair shallow feather-edged spalls in concrete pavement which had been damaged by a chemical fire. The study evaluated materials in the laboratory, selected candidate materials for the repairs, and monitored their performance in the field. Gen

Consistent with the objective of fostering better transportation in the Twin Cities Region and recognizing the need for demand and capacity information on which to base evaluation of opportunities for freight infrastructure investment, the Minnesota Intermodal Regional Terminal Study (MIRTS) coordinating group comprised of private and public sector

Large scale simulations of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can only be achieved by using the computing resources offered by parallel computing architectures. Domain decomposition techniques are proposed which allow the performance of traffic simulations with the standard simulation package TRAF-NETSIM on a 128 nodes IBM SPx parallel superc

Prepared ca. 1995. This paper illustrates the use of the simulation-optimization technique of response surface methodology (RSM) in traffic signal optimization of urban networks. It also quantifies the gains of using the common random number (CRN) variance reduction strategy in such an optimization procedure. An enhanced RSM algorithm which employs

Public demand for protection of sensitive marine resources was raised following several major oil spills. This concern generated a number of initiatives including passage of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) by Congress. That Act mandated several actions directed at reducing the risks associated with oil spills. Section 4111 (b) (7) called for

The Triangle Travel Behavior Survey, an essential element in the regional study of transportation activity and travel patterns, was conducted under the auspices of the Triangle Transit Authority. This report documents the design, implementation, and results of the Triangle Travel Behavior Survey. The survey was conducted July 1994 through May 1995,

This report identifies the various components of Virginia's computerized crash records systems and explains how these components process crash data. Emphasis has been placed on recording information that was previously not documented. Most of the statewide systems were studied in late 1994, and most of the local systems were studied in early 1995.

In its 1995 session, the Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 2320, which lowered the age at which persons could obtain a learner's permit from 15 years 8 months to 15 years. In the same session, the General Assembly passed House Joint Resolution Nol 571, which requested that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) study the feasibility and d
