The recent introduction of strobe lights for anticollision purposes raises the possibility of using temporal patterns of short duration flashes as information carrying signals. The current experiments are concerned with the detection of the minimum duration dark interval between signal light pulses as a function of signal luminance and the psychoph

Experiments were conducted with animals to determine the toxic effect of short-term exposures to some of the products produced in aircraft fires; the products were tested both singly and in combination with carbon monoxide. These studies show the toxicity rankings of the four materials tested to be HCN, NO2, HF and HCl, in decreasing order. Carbon

The use of infra-red radiation for the detectionof conceal ed metal objects has been investiga ted boththeoretically and experimentally. The investigation wasdivided into two phases, one which considered passivetechniques, and another which involved active sources ofradiation to probe the subject. Because of the limitedamount of time and equipment

This study was initiated for the purpose of researching of markers were chosen for use in this study and remained as "guinea pigs" throughout the program for the sake of uniformity.Several installations were made on heavily traveled roads in the Baton Rouge area using these four types. Traffic wear and breakdown properties of these markers were car

The Texas Trip Distribution Package is a collection of computer programs designed to perform trip distributions featuring the application of a constrained interactance model. Other programs, available in the package, provide full support. The purpose of this manual is to provide data processing personnel with a link between the Operating Manual for

The general purpose of this study is to estimate the volume of agricultural products transported by motor carrier to, from, and within North Dakota. The specific objectives are: 1. To determine the volume of agricultural products transported by motor carrier out of, into, and within North Dakota by type of commodity, by origin, and by destination.

There are some indications that the systems most closely associated with disorientation responses--the visual and vestibular systems--may continue to show effects of alcohol ingestion for periods in excess of 24 hours. These effects may be evident both in static vestibular reactions and in dynamic reactions such as those which produce Coriolis vest

The study concerns the experimental use of seven commercially published aptitude tests at the Keesler AFB and Clynco NAS air traffic control (ATC) training schools, the determination of relationships between the aptitude scores and training-course performance measures of Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy students, and an assessment of the pot

The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the volume of nonagricultural commodities transported by motor carrier to, from, and within North Dakota. The specific objectives are: 1) to determine the total volume of nonagricultural products transported by motor carrier to, from, and within North Dakota, and to determine the volume of the respec

The Louisiana Department of Highways has conducted field tests with an experimental revetment consisting of cellular concrete revetment blocks used in conjunction with plastic filter cloth and/or vegetation such as grass or vines. The precast blocks are of vibrated concrete, weigh 13 lbs. and are approximately 8" square by 4" deep. Each block has a

An investigation of the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) within the passenger compartment of motor vehicles has been made. A sample handling system has been developed to measure the concentrations of CO at as many as six locations inside and outside of a motor vehicle. To use this system effectively, a test procedure was developed with sixteen

One span of a full-scale highway bridge was constructed and subjected to cyclic axle loads at three load positions. The bridge was constructed with four Texas Highway Department Type B prestressed beams, prestressed panels for the lower portion of the deck, and cast-in-place concrete which bonded the prestressed elements together and formed the upp

Results of a study of the fatigue characteristics of asphalt-treated, cement-treated, and lime-treated subbase materials indicated that the indirect tensile test can be used satisfactorily to evaluate the fatigue properties of treated materials under repeated tensile stresses. In addition, the general nature of the relationship between applied tens

The Montreal Convention defines a wide spectrum of unlawful acts against the safety of civil aviation and the Contracting States have undertaken to make these offences punishable by severe penalties. The Convention contains detailed provisions on jurisdiction, custody, prosecution and extradition of the alleged offender. The Montreal Convention doe

The application of the design concepts developed at the AASHO road test to Louisiana in-service pavements are presented. In order to correlate the level of performance determined at the road test with that of Louisiana pavements, present serviceability index (psi) determinations were made on 137 flexible sections and 51 rigid sections. Sixty-one of

This report provides basic inputs to the Transportation Systems Center for their continuing development and evaluation of cooperative breath analyzers. Its primary purpose is to indicate a number of potential field test sites and to describe various available testing modalities.
Commercially available total earth pressure cells and gaging systems are investigated. The principles of operation for nine commercially available pressure cells are presented, and the manufacturers performance ratings are summarized. The performance characteristics of four types of pressure cells selected for this preliminary study are determined

Two traffic assignment packages were developed for use on the Texas Highway Department's IBM 360/50 Computer System. The Texas Small Network Package, which will accommodate small networks of up to 4,000 nodes, implements a new algorithm which allows the trees to be built and the network simultaneously loaded. The Texas Large Network Package, which
