In the late 1970s, traffic volumes were predicted to double on Canadian National Railway's already congested single track main line. In support of a plant expansion program, a transportation planning research team developed two "what-if" simulation models: the Signal Wake and Route Capacity Models to evaluate the relative effect of the many factors

This study identifies oil field traffic and provides an estimate of annual cost associated with a reduced pavement serviceability. Identification of oil field traffic through site specific observation provides the basis for the investigation. The study includes a description of traffic during the development of an oil well, an estimate of reduced p

The objective of this report was to produce a design guide related to roadway design and construction in organic terrain referred as "Muskeg". The report covers the latest design and construction principles so that the designers, planners, builders and operators can systematically analyze the available information, assemble required data and design

This report describes and examines pavement condition rating methods used on Alaska's roadways since 1978. The methods were intended to provide the specific performance data necessary to optimize construction/maintenance planning and the allocation of available funds. Rating elements include simplified measurements of ride roughness, fatigue (allig

Previous experiments have demonstrated illusions due to variations in both length and width of runways in nighttime 'black hole' approaches. Even though approach lighting is not designed to provide vertical guidance, it is possible that cues from approach lights could interact with cues from runway lighting to reduce illusions due to variation in r

In this report, a method is developed for determining the equivalent thicknesses for different base courses, which will give the same pavement life expectancy. This study shows how the layer equivalents can be obtained from Texas Triaxial tests or from pavement pressuremeter tests or from Dynaflect tests. The procedures were developed after testing
