The purpose of the Five County Association of Governments (AOG) Regional Mobility Study is to identify options to meet the mobility needs of transportation-disadvantaged individuals in Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane, and Washington Counties. The research included a literature review; inventory of transportation providers in the Five County AOG region

This project studied if and how behavioral models and traffic simulation frameworks created beforehand could be used to predict hurricane evacuation patterns in a new storm setting, with the anticipation of being able to conduct a real-time simulation in the future. Using publicly available data, this study first created synthetic populations by ye

This study explored the feasibility and acceptability of using stay in-place fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) jackets and underwater steel reinforced grout for timely bridge piling repairs in Minnesota without dewatering. One of the goals of the project was to determine the current state of practice to this corrosion repair and inspection by res

Utah’s six travel demand models (TDM) are essential tools for the state’s transportation planning. Virtually every transportation plan and environmental study uses the TDMs to develop and evaluate transportation solutions, making the TDMs the most important transportation planning tool in the state. Currently, all of the TDMs employ a similar metho

Bridges and culverts deteriorate with time and use. While in the past, various data-driven deterioration models, including Bayesian models, probit model, and Markov chains are proposed in the literature to model bridge deterioration, these models either suffer from low accuracy or are too complex to be applicable. Recently deep learning (DL) AI mod

In recent years, the number of requests for approval of locally mined lime rock in Alabama has increased due to potential economic benefits associated with its use. However, the potential moisture sensitivity of lime rock is a concern that has not been fully addressed as it can impact the long-term performance of pavements. The objective of this st

We envisioned a project—a future—where the community is at the forefront of planning and implementation of new technology. Technologies are often developed by select companies and universities, and then tested in communities. Instead of leading with a solution, Community Driven CAV started by understanding community needs and assets, and then creat

Lime stabilization is a widely used technique to improve weak subgrades; however, its effectiveness under freeze-thaw cycles remains a critical challenge. This study investigates the incorporation of cementitious materials and fiber to enhance the mechanical properties and environmental resistance of lime-stabilized soils under such conditions. Two

The 2024 MoDOT IC-PMTP Annual Report highlights achievements and challenges in implementing Intelligent Compaction (IC) and Paver-Mounted Thermal Profiling (PMTP) technologies. Key updates included aligning data validation tools with updated PMTP specifications and addressing challenges such as contractor’s paving boundary data manipulation and dat

Personal safety concerns continue to be one of the most critical issues among transit riders and women and gender minorities in particular. These safety concerns stem from the experience of sexual harassment that people who identify as women face frequently. While harassment can be a common occurrence, the vast majority of these experiences go unre

Bridges in many parts of Texas are prone to icing on the bridge deck during winter events, which poses severe travel disruptions and potential accidents to the drivers. Therefore, bridge deicing is critical to ensure roadway safety, mobility, and productivity reasons. This study tested and implemented a geothermal bridge deicing system (GBDS) as a
...
The scope of the MDT funded research project highlighted collection and organization of data onto a portal, data review and quality control and analysis of relationships between MWD drilling parameters and rock properties. Our initial approach was investigation of traditional linear correlations between individual MWD drilling parameters and rock p

The research team which included faculty from University of Georgia’s College of Engineering and Carl Vinson Institute of Government worked in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to conduct the 2024 GDOT employee survey. This research study aimed to increase the response rate and the usefulness of the feedback from th

The Indirect Tensile at High Temperature (IDT-HT) test and Ideal Rutting (IR) test were recommended for screening rut-susceptible asphalt mixtures in the Balanced Mix Design (BMD) process, based on a research study by the Virginia Transportation Research Council (VTRC). The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is in the initial stages of im

Given budget constraints and increasing traffic in Oregon, chip seals have emerged as a cost-effective and practical approach for maintaining and preserving the existing highway network. This study focused on establishing efficient Quality Assurance (QA) procedures for chip seals, aligning with SPR777's design method to increase the performance and

In recent years, rapid energy development in Texas has caused significant damage to many farm-to-market (FM) roads, which traditionally have a thin asphalt surface layer plus a stabilized base directly over the subgrade. These FM roads performed well under normal traffic loads but failed dramatically under the energy-sector truck loads. There is an

Asphalt binder is one of the most expensive and critical materials used in the construction and maintenance of asphalt pavements. A key step toward a long-lasting asphalt pavement is selecting a proper binder performance grade (PG). The Texas Department of Transportation’s current binder PG selection catalog serves its purpose well for new pavement
...
Pedestrian assets, particularly sidewalks, are highly susceptible to aging, adverse weather conditions, and suboptimal construction practices, often leading to rapid deterioration. This deterioration is often ignored due to the widespread misconception that pedestrian assets are low risk, resulting in many deteriorated sidewalks being left untreate

The goal of this project was to investigate the effects of additives commonly used in deicers for winter road maintenance operations, explore the qualitative and quantitative benefits of these additives, laboratory and performance data, impacts, and relative performance to sodium chloride (NaCl). Additionally, evaluate the impact additives have on
