The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of location and design characteristics of urban freeways upon persons with middle and upper incomes living along freeway rights of way. The objectives of the study were~ 1) to determine the effects of freeway location on land use characteristics of middle- and upper-income areas, 2) to determine

The rigid pavement design system computer program, RPS-3, designed as a result of this study is the third in a series of such systems developed under the project entitled "A System Analysis of Pavement Design and Research Implementation" (Ref 1), sponsored by the Texas Highway Department in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration. The r

Submitted in compliance of Section 11 of the Department of Transportation Act, the eighth annual report of the Department of Transportation deals with the Department's achievements during Fiscal Year 1974.
Physiological and biochemical measurements of stress in 14 Opa Locka Tower (OPF) controllers indicated that the principal stressor at that facility was the heavy volume of air traffic. Controllers responded to this stressor with a large increase in urinary output of catecholamines. A stress index, Cs, shows that OPF ranks second in stressfulness in

An overview of research findings on air traffic controllers is presented. Results of personality, aptitude, motivation, interest, and attitude studies are considered in terms of the general pattern of characteristics found to be associated with success in the air traffic profession. The implications of these findings for managerial programs is disc

Two fire tests were conducted on 128 kiloliter, high pressure rail tank cars filled with liquefied petroleum gas. Both tank cars were exposed to an intense hydrocarbon fire after being outfitted with appropriate instrumentation. The instrumentation was monitored and its output recorded throughout the fire tests. To test the feasibility of insulatin

During the past 11 years the use of studded tires has increased from a novelty to anestimated average of 20 percent for the Northern States in which snow and ice is expected. An alarming amount of surface wear in the wheel paths of the highway pavements has accompanied the increase in studded tire use. In Oregon, the use of studded tires, first aut

A computer program to compute shear and moment envelopes for continuous beams has been written. The program, which was originally written as a subroutine for a continuous beam design program, handles a number of different live and dead loads. Included among these is an axle train (vehicle with up to 15 arbitrarily spaced wheels) which can be used t

This report describes work done on various combinations of monomers and polymer concrete mixes and identifies the mixes showing the greatest potential for use in bridge deck overlays . Presented are test results showing physical properties of various polymer concrete mixes, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity

Two hundred and twenty-nine air traffic controller trainees were tested on the CAMI Multiple Task Performance Battery. The battery provides objective measures of monitoring, arithmetical skills, visual discrimination, and group problem solving. The criterion of trainee potential was based on ratings from FAA Academy instructors in courses being att

A hybrid computer simulation for vehicle handling studies has been implemented, checked out, and validated. The simulation has been programmed to study both solid rear axle and independent rear suspension vehicles. Model validation was accomplished using parametric data representative of four 1971 vehicles: Volkswagen Super Beetle, Chevrolet Brookw

This report is considered to be a substantive progress report. The contents consist of assorted notes on decision problems and background; a check list and rating system for social, economic, and environmental factors; and an abbreviated list of selected references that should be useful to highway planners and decision makers.

This report presents the results of a structured survey in an area of Houston, Texas, that has been designated as a freeway corridor. The survey focuses on selected characteristics, attitudes and expectations of area residents with the primary objectives of (1) delineating key variables which predict resident's opinions of freeway construction, and

A Computer program has been developed in this study to perform the calculations for the design of continuous prestressed concrete bridge girders. The continuous girder is constructed from simple span precast concrete I-shaped beams made continuous by supplementary reinforcing in the deck and the ends of the precast beams. Specifications for the des

An experimental warning system has been installed on the Gulf Freeway in Houston as a means of alerting drivers approaching crest type vertical curves of stoppages downstream of the crest. Successful automatic operation of the warning system is dependent upon the reliability of the system components. Earlier studies showed that the developed contro

From the well-known hypothesis that is expected that a degree of geologically based similarity would exist in the surface properties of those systems showing a similarity of surface geometry, it is reasonable to assume that drainage basins with the same degree of stability (or instability) possess a certain similarity in geomorphology and channel n

The objective of the Grain Transportation Forum was to measure the future challenge to America's grain handling and transportation system and to bring together at a particular place and time innovators in the grain handling and transportation industry to explain how this challenge will be met and the benefits as well as the costs of innovation.
