STAI scores of adult men and women within the age range of 25 through 59 years were generally equal to or slightly less than scores of the college undergraduate normative group. This suggests that the previous use of undergraduate norms to evaluate A-Trait and A-State scores of ATCSs did not underestimate the levels of work-related stress associate

The B-1 TRIDAQS (Travel Information Data Acquisition System) is a unit for recording travel time information in a floating vehicle. The unit is highly portable with easy transfer from vehicle-to-vehicle, and virtually independent of any special equipment installations that would limit the use of the unit to a specific vehicle. The unit is easily op

This report summarizes the findings of an evaluation of the 1979 Texas law (V.C.S., Sec. 73.A.) which requires frontage road traffic to yield right-of-way to freeway ramp traffic. The law was enacted to encourage statewide uniformity in right-of-way assignment at frontage road-ramp intersections. It affected traffic control at approximately 2,700 r
