This report presents some historical perspectives of aerobatics and the physiological effects of G acceleration, especially as pertain to in-flight loss of consciousness (LOC) by the pilot. Several accidents and incidents are reviewed to illustrate that LOC occurs in some pilots during aerobatic maneuvers. Accelerometer recordings made during aerob

"Abstract A visual inspection was made of the structural condition of 148 highway bridges supported by spread footings on compacted fill throughout the State of Washington. The approach pavements and other bridge appurtenances were also inspected for damage or distress that could be attributed to the use of spread footings on compacted fill. This r

Results from the toxicological study of samples from 4,072 pilots killed in general aviation accidents have revealed that carbon monoxide has been the cause of incapacitation in 21 (0.5 percent) of the cases. Two cases are presented that are typical of accidents caused by incapacitation from carbon monoxide, in that no cause was determined until af

A highly portable, positive construction zone barrier is described. The barrier is suitable for use at sites where duration of work is as short as several hours. It is constructed from used cars and thrie-beam guardrail. Two full-scale vehicular crash tests of the portable barrier are described that demonstrate its adequacy in terms of impact perfo

Conceptual techniques are discussed for the proximity measurement of vehicle characteristics as detected on freeway entrance and exit ramps. These characteristics, such as magnetic profile and wheelbase, would be recorded over a contiguous set of entrance and exit ramps defining a freeway section. At a later time, these data would be processed to d

The increase in accidents involving personnel in construction and maintenance zones prompted a review of the use of high visibility safety garments. This review led to laboratory and field studies intended to identify those materials and garment designs that would enhance conspicuity. As a result, a modified version of the currently used orange, fl

This analysis presents the results of a rail cost study for North Dakota grain. The purpose of the analysis is to describe the relative costs associated with various grain gathering alternatives. To that extent, four different levels of service have been analyzed: 1) 52-car single-origin; 2) 52-car two-origin; 3) 26-car single-origin; and 4) 26-car

The repair of pavement edge geometry adjacent to unpaved shoulders is a maintenance activity that requires continuous effort on the part of all state and local agencies. Although it is generally accepted that these roadway discontinuities have some effect on vehicle stability and thus on facility safety, these effects have never been comprehensivel

This report presents a model, QUEWZ, which can be used to calculate the user costs resulting from lane closures through a work zone. QUEWZ calculates the delay costs and speed-change cycling costs of slowing down to go through a work zone and the change in vehicle running costs through the work zone. If a queue forms, the delay costs, speed-change
