The objectives of this study were to integrate material, construction, maintenance, and performance information, and to deploy the unified data on a commercial system licensed by TxDOT so that Division and District personnel can access and interact with these data. Data from the SMGR, PA, and DCIS databases were identified, integrated, and processe

This study assesses the effectiveness of precipitation zones and Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves used by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) for designing drainage structures. Twenty stations were selected for the analysis of revised IDF curves out of forty-two stations. Datasets have been considered from the National Center

As Florida’s aging population increases, the demand to ensure safe mobility for older adults also increases, especially since aging road users are vulnerable to serious and fatal crashes. Over 20% of Florida residents are aged 65 or older, and this number is projected to increase by 2045. Age is linked with a decline in vision, cognition, and react

The sharing of large-scale transportation data is beneficial for transportation planning and policymaking; however, there are privacy concerns with data sharing, as it can include identifiable personal information, such as individuals’ home locations. To address these concerns, synthetic data generation based on real transportation data offers a pr

ODOT’s Research Newsletter is designed to provide practice-ready solutions to real-world issues facing Ohio’s local transportation system through research. It’s a multi-organizational collaborative effort to improve the transportation network in Ohio’s counties, townships, cities and villages.
This project examined the use of the light weight deflectometer (LWD) and the air permeameter test (APT) for control of the state of compaction and hydraulic conductivity of aggregate drainage layers. The investigation included an extensive program of LWDs, APTs, and nuclear density tests on two testing strips constructed at an experimental site—on

Performance Engineered Mixtures (PEMs) have been the primary focus of concrete mixture research on a national level for years. Tennessee has facilitated several projects over the years to move facets of PEM forward, including Enhancing Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Tennessee Concrete Mixes through Improved Air Void Testing (RES2020-09) and Determining

This report presents two major aspects related to the end-zone behavior of prestressed concrete bulb-tee girders: i) laboratory experiments and ii) full-scale finite element modeling. The first part of the report discusses the behavior of anchorage zones, also known as end zones, with discrete rebars and continuous meshes. To examine the implicatio

This report presents two major aspects related to evaluating timber bridges with nondestructive testing: i) laboratory experiments and ii) field applications. The first part of the report discusses the degradation processes and resulting outcomes of structural timber, Douglas Fir, that is broadly used for bridge construction. In accordance with the

High-strength reinforcing steel has been incorporated into design specifications and permitted under certain provisions of concrete building and bridge design codes, highlighting its growing recognition in construction. The employment of high-strength reinforcing bars offers several potential advantages, including reduced reinforcement quantities,

Accurate cost estimation plays a pivotal role in effective budget planning for highway construction projects, ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately and projects are completed within financial constraints. Traditional cost estimation methods, commonly used by transportation agencies like the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT)

This project developed a GIS to assist with the identification of deeply buried cultural deposits in alluvial settings across the Sandhills region of Nebraska. Soil survey data, previous geoarchaeological investigations, landform position, and other information was used to rank the potential of any stream valley setting as low, low-moderate, modera
...
The accumulation of sediments at culverts is a chronic operational issue, frequently occurring at multi-barrel culverts located in erosion-prone watersheds. Sediment deposits can develop rapidly, impairing the culvert’s capacity to convey design flows and potentially leading to damage to both transportation infrastructure (e.g., road and culvert ov

The National Weather Service (NWS) operates a National Water Model that continually forecasts water flow throughout the stream network of the United States, including 190,000 miles of streams divided into 100,000 stream reaches in Texas. The NWS has also deployed real-time flood inundation mapping to about half of Texas, and it will complete covera

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), commonly known as the global positioning system, has become one of the fastest-growing emerging technologies delivering location services to various sectors. The applications of geospatial data span every sphere of modern-day science and industry where geographical positioning matters. The list include

Public works agencies at state and municipal levels have invested a large amount of personnel and funding resources in dashboards to improve winter maintenance operations. The types and amounts of data gathered and performance measures used to track and monitor winter maintenance operations vary by agency. Due to these differences, there is a need
...
This project was undertaken to develop tools and guidelines for designing efficient, sustainable, and environmentally compliant salt storage facilities for winter maintenance operations. The project addressed critical issues such as environmental impacts of chloride runoff, optimization of facility design and location, and the development of tools
