The design and implementation of a perspective display of air traffic for the cockpit is discussed. Parameters of the perspective are variable and interactive so that the appearance of the projected image can be widely varied. This approach makes allowances for exploration of perspective parameters and the air interactions. The display was initiall

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development uses metal culverts in various parts of the state. This study was undertaken to assess the feasibility of applying cathodic protection both externally and internally to metal culverts to prevent corrosion from occurring. The methodology employed ranged from a variety of laboratory tests to

This report evaluates the operation of the Houston freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane system through calendar year 1990. As of the end of 1990, HOV lanes were in operation on four Houston freeways: Katy Freeway (l-10); North Freeway (I-45); Northwest Freeway (US 290); and Gulf Freeway (I-45). Since 1988, an annual report has been prepared th
