Although considerable research has been done in the area of elderly and handicapped transportation, very little factual data exist concerning how human services transportation providers operate or what their services actually cost. In light of this fact, three providers of human services transportation were selected for in-depth evaluation. Both co

Flexible pavement failure analysis procedures have been outlined in a series of reports prepared in project 214. Two examples of the use of these guidelines are presented in this report. The first example involves the premature failure of pavement in North Texas. A detailed laboratory and field-testing program was performed to identify the probable

Previous land use studies about the effects of highway construction have focused mainly on the effects of new construction. Due to the present emphasis on upgrading and expanding existing facilities rather than building new ones, the need arises for information concerning the effects on land use of such improvements.

Aggradation and degradation are long term changes in stream channel elevation. The effects of gradation changes are not the same as local scour or erosion because they extend greater distances along the stream-bed. Degradation is a more common problem than aggradation and in general, has a more severe impact on highway crossings.

Considerable effort has been spent in applying computers to the strategic management of railroad freight operations. To date, little of this has proved useful, and many railroads continue to rely too exclusively on human judgment. This study seeks the causes behind the failures in order to suggest more effective approaches.
