The Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) Program requires evaluation of pilot projects. This technical assistance brief discusses the guidelines set for developing evaluation framework and methodology for local projects.
Increasing pressures to recycle more wastes and minimize the amount of materials placed in landfills are forcing reconsideration of potential uses of waste glass in highway construction and maintenance operations. The federal government and many state legislatures are mandating studies to find such uses. Because the volume of aggregate needed for h

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is committed to Virginia PROGRESS, which is a program for Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System (IVHS) research, development, and deployment. This document, VDOT's IVHS Strategic Plan, will guide the Department in Virginia PROGRESS. It is organized in the following chapters: (1) Strategic Assessment; (2

Section 153 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) established an incentive grant program to support states in adopting and implementing laws requiring the use of safety belts and motorcycle helmets. Having such laws that applied to all front seat occupants of passenger cars and all motorcycle occupants qualified a

Use of the 1986 AASHTO Design Guide requires accurate estimates of the resilient modulus of flexible pavement materials. Traditionally, these properties have been determined from either laboratory testing or by backcalculation from deflection data. Since Louisiana has chosen the backcalculation approach, there was a need to review the available com

Various types of paint schemes on aircraft propeller and rotor blades are used to improve the visual conspicuity and attention-getting value of those blades when they are rotating. The improved conspicuity resulting from the paint schemes has the purpose of reducing the number of injuries and fatalities that might occur due to accidental contact wi

FAA Air Traffic Control Operations Concepts Volume VI: ARTCC-Host En Route Controllers (1990) developed by CTA, Inc., a technical description of the duties of an En Route air traffic control specialist (ATCS), formatted in User Interface Language, was restructured into a hierarchical formal sentence outline. To ensure that none of the meaning assoc

Passenger train layover facilities are provided at the outer terminal of commuter rail lines. Their primary benefit is that they eliminate “deadhead” movements (non-revenue, non-passenger carrying runs) back to a central facility at night and out to the end of the line in the early morning. In addition to providing secure overnight storage of the t

This report represents a continuation of analysis concerned with the patterns and methods of distributing grains and oilseeds from North Dakota. This series began with the analysis of 1956-57 data and was published in Agricultural Economics Reports 15, 17, 44, 56, and 86 and Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 462. The compilation and analysis

This report documents the third Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) controller evaluation of an initial group of four terminal air traffic control (ATC) services and functions which are under development for implementation on a Data link air-ground communications system. The research was conducted at the Federal Aviation Administration Technical

This report explores the socio-economic characteristics of the transit-riding population; it describes the gender, age, race. ethnicity, income and trip purpose of the average public transit rider and searches for future trends.
Numerous waste materials result from manufacturing operations, service industries, sewage treatment plants, households and mining. Legislation has been enacted by several states in recent years to either mandate the use of some waste materials or to examine the feasibility of such usage. The hot mix asphalt (HMA) industry has been pressured in rece

The Independent Locking Securement System Project (ILS System Project) is a successful attempt to respond to the transportation community's need for a "universal" securement/restraint system that will accommodate most wheeled mobility aids, including three-wheeled scooters, in common use on public transportation systems. The research project was de

The Quality Functional Deployment (QFD) method was used for the design of the Independent Locking Securement (ILS) System, developed by the Oregon State University. The project entailed the design, construction, and testing of the ILS system prototypes. The QFD approach included surveying present technology, establishing customer requirements, stud

The overall objective of this study was to determine the most economical and effective routine maintenance uses-for asphalt pavement millings. Specific objectives include (1) determine existing effective uses of milled RAP, (2) determine effectiveness of new, untried ideas and improvements on existing uses through field experimentation, and (3) pro

Improvements or new construction of freeways can benefit from tools to evaluate various design alternatives. The use of a computer model to evaluate project alternatives is the most cost-effective method, but often times the least understood. This research study focuses on characteristics of and the process of choosing a freeway simulation model. T

An analytical study of H 15 bridges in Texas has resulted in an improved procedure for issuing overweight truck permits. Single and multiple axle limits, specifically to protest pavements rather than bridges, are assumed. The weight restrictions limit any (and all) axle groups as a function of the gage and tire contact widths. The restrictions were
...
A demonstration software for the routing of vehicles and for the retrieval of BRINSAP information of bridges along a route is presented. The software is demonstrated for its potential application in evaluating a proposed Bridge Load Formula. The software is implemented using a network model of the On-system roads of Tx Dot's District 12. The model

This document provides guidelines and procedures for the retiming of isolated intersections, including procedures for data collection, and the types and amount of data to be collected; the analytical procedures and software packages that are available for signal retiming projects; and examples of step-by-step applications for each type of signal re
