It has been found that allowing vanpools to use high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes is an effective means of increasing the vehicular utilization of those facilities. Vanpools are readily identifiable and, as a result, can be relatively easily controlled. They are compatible with the Houston philosophy that only authorized vehicles be permitted to u

Through the cooperative Research Program with the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, the Texas Transportation Institute has been involved in extensive evaluations of Park-and-Ride facilities in Texas. User and non-user surveys were performed in the Dallas area in 1979. In 1980, data collection efforts were extended to the

This study examined the variations found in recycled asphaltic concrete mix based upon plant quality control data and verification testing. The data was collected from four recycled hot-mix projects constructed in 1981. All plant control and acceptance data was statistically analyzed. Samples of recycled hot mix and reclaimed material were tested a

The Downtown Crossing auto restricted zone, implemented in 1978, involved the elimination of all auto traffic from a zone of twelve blocks encompassing six different streets in Boston's central business district. Some of the blocks were pedestrian-only zones, some were originally a transitway and later converted to a pedestrian-only zone, and some

Air pollution levels in the vicinity of simple signalized intersections were investigated. A thorough review of the literature was performed and a new, simplified predictive model was developed. The new model is known as the Texas Intersection Model (TEXIN) and incorporates the MOBILE-2 and CALINE-3 computer programs with a set of established "shor
