The increasing importance of improving the efficiency of transportation facilities has resulted in a need for a systematic economic model to evaluate High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) projects. These projects encourage higher vehicle occupancy rates by restricting the use of some portion of the facility to some vehicle types or minimum number of occupan

This study evaluated the impact of the four basic treatment combinations of the rehabilitation component of the Virginia driver improvement program. This was accomplished through a comparison of the driving records of experimental group subjects who received the treatments with the records of control group subjects who did not. It was hypothesized

This report identifies and describes the special traffic handling requirements for maintenance work zones on urban freeways. These special requirements stem from the high speeds, heavy traffic volumes, and unique design features (e.g., ramps and frontage roads) which characterize urban freeways. The information and guidelines presented herein are b

This volume addresses general community paratransit services in small cities and metropolitan areas, with the latter separated into suburban and inner city areas. Systems designed for neighborhood/community circulation and those designed to be integrated with existing line haul transit are both addressed. Within these contexts, included are a range

The purpose of this study was to compare the results of rapid freezing and thawing tests conducted on machine A with results from machine B, which is intended to replace the aging machine A. Concrete samples were prepared to attain levels of resistance to cycles of freezing and thawing. For comparison purposes, tests were conducted using the Resear

This report is based upon site visits and written communication with transportation officials in more than 100 cities throughout the country. Traditional parking management practices, such as curbside restrictions, are not discussed. Rather, the report describes a number of relatively new and innovative ways by which cities and counties are attempt

Segregation of asphalt mixes continues to be a problem in Virginia, particularly with base mixes and coarse surface mixes. Although the problem is encountered primarily on jobs using surge silos, it has been related to other factors such as mix design and handling or paving techniques. This report discusses changes in equipment and production proce

It is often practical to use limestone screenings in non-polishing S-5 surface mixes in some western areas of Virginia. Also, there has been some conjecture that limestone increases the durability of these mixes. Although the fine aggregate usually has a minimal effect on the skid resistance of bituminous pavements, there were no skid data availabl

This investigation attempted to assess the mesoscale and microscale effects of the recently built Interstate Route I-195 in Richmond, Virginia. Measurement of the air quality before and after completion of the expressway showed that on the mesoscale, there was an improvement in the ambient CO concentration in the 14-square-mile area surrounding the

This report was prepared in anticipation of the Virginia General Assembly's consideration of proposals to require motorists to properly restrain their child passengers in safety devices. Three questions are discussed. First, are child restraint laws constitutional? Second, are the laws cost-effective? Third, which specific provisions tend to decrea

This research effort was initiated at the request of officials of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation to obtain information on the performance of the precast concrete traffic barrier (PCTB) when exposed to heavy vehicles. The PCTB is a portable system used in Virginia since 1976 to separate high speed vehicular traffic and constr

Changing economic conditions have led to a need for more objective means of prioritizing pavement resurfacing needs and for determining the required thickness of resurfacings. Both of these issues have been addressed in the study for which this document constitutes the final report. Earlier reports on the study were directed at the development of a

Several matching techniques for ride sharing are available to serve a wide range of operating conditions. There is a need for guidelines to aid ride-sharing agencies in Virginia in selecting the most appropriate matching technique. The objective of this research was to develop such guidelines, information on the state of the art of ride-share match
