The purpose of the studies was to measure the effects that construction of a segment of the Interstate Highway System has on local areas and communities by analyzing the changes in land value, land use, business activity, travel patterns, and other general community developments. The study of the Conroe area is one of nine studies conducted under t

Under flight conditions, as well as in other situations, judgments of the distances between objects may depend upon a variety of possible cues. In this study, the hypothesis was tested that the intention to use a particular cue relation would enhance the effectiveness of that particular cue in determining the resulting perception. For this purpose,

In aviation, size cues are frequently used in a pilot's evaluation of depth or distance. In the study, the hypothesis was examined that the essential factor in the size cue to depth from familiar objects is the perceived size S' per unit of retinal size theta of each of the objects, with the object having the largest value of S'/theta appearing to

The density of the various layers of a flexible pavement system has always been a problem to highway engineers. The "in place" density requirement is a specification item for most highway foundation work, but the surface layer of asphaltic concrete may not be subject to such requirements. In Texas, the most common specification for asphaltic concre

A vegetative cover for erosion control is in reality a pavement. Rather than supporting vehicular traffic as does asphalt or concrete, this pavement of plants protects the soil from the impact force of raindrops and from the scouring of runoff waters which dislodge and move soil particles. This action leaves the landscape ugly, provides sediment fo

The cause of the erosion is understood, but to date most methods for controlling it have met with limited success.
