This report describes the skid performance after four years traffic of several experimental sections containing from 0% to 36% nonpolishing aggregate blended with #10 limestone aggregate. A 1978 installation of an I-2 Modified (30/70) blend employing 30% #68 nonpolishing aggregate and 70% #10 limestone is also discussed. Finally the anticipated 197

This report describes methods and techniques that could be used to increase the use of car pools in Virginia. Two approaches are described. The first employs those methods that serve as an incentive for persons to form car pools, such as preferential use of street and highway facilities, parking privileges, etc. The second involves methods that ass

This report discusses the results of three series of litter pickups at twenty 0.1-mile long sites on Virginia highways 4 sites on the interstate system, and 8 each on the primary and secondary systems. This study is a continuing effort to monitor quantities of litter and is considered the best approach available short of extensive survey sampling t

At the request of the Division of Litter Control of the Department of Conservation and Economic Development, the Research Council has initiated a litter survey program at approximately 25 sites on the state highway system. The purpose of this program is to determine changes in the quantities of litter generated at these sites. The purpose of this i

The Giles and Elliot discriminant functions diagnosing sex and race from cranial measurements were tested on a series of forensically examined crania of known sex and race. Of 52 crania of known sex, 46 (88%) were correctly diagnosed. Racial diagnoses were correct in 30 (71%) of 42 crania of known race. Analysis of the facial data indicates that mo

The possibility of using neoprene pads as an alternate to sulfur mortar for capping concrete specimens subjected to compression tests was investigated. In preliminary tests to determine the feasibility of the investigation, two batches of concrete were prepared. Subsequently, in the main part of the investigation 8 batches of concrete were made. Co

Two simulator experiments were conducted to quantify the effectiveness, in terms of pilot performance, of four different visual glidepath indicator systems in the severely reduced nighttime visual environment often referred to as the 'black hole'. A Convair 580 aircraft simulator was used with a computer-generated-image visual system attached for v

In an attempt to increase the utility and efficiency of Virginia's traffic records system the Commonwealth has conducted several studies of its activities related to the collection, processing, storage, distribution, and use of accident data. Collectively these efforts are referred to as Virginia's traffic records project. This report reviews the h

The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to examine the working practices followed in obtaining manual traffic counts on primary highways in Virginia, and (2) to evaluate the accuracy of the counts. The former was achieved by observing and interviewing personnel conducting traffic counts at 26 stations, statewide; for the latter, the results of m
