Steel box straddle caps are classified as Fracture Critical Members, requiring stringent design, fabrication, and in-service inspections to comply with the provisions of the Fracture Control Plan. Providing internal redundancy to steel box straddle caps to remove the Fracture Critical inspection requirements is highly desirable. The research conduc

This document is Product 0-7169-P3, Long-Term Statewide EV Infrastructure Strategic Plan, which the research team developed as part of Task 6 of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Project 0-7169, Post-NEVI Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Research (Freight, Fleet, and Multifamily Housing). The purpose of the long-term strategic plan is to gu

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
...
This project includes the instrumentation and post-construction monitoring of pavement test sections that incorporate geogrids for base stabilization along IH10 frontage roads east of San Antonio. Specifically, and as part of a full-depth frontage road rehabilitation, the test sections were constructed with an unbound aggregate base layer stabilize
...
Variable speed limit (VSL) systems have been broadly deployed to address safety and mobility concerns both in the United States and internationally. In June 2022, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) activated a VSL system on I–95 northbound about halfway between Washington, D.C., and Richmond, VA. This section of I–95 experiences high
...
Wrong-way driving (WWD) crashes are a small percentage of all crashes but tend to be more severe. The purpose of this project was to perform a systemic evaluation of WWD incident and crash risks and identify countermeasures for Virginia’s roadways. This evaluation included assessing the magnitude of WWD crashes and WWD-related 911 calls in Virginia
...
Project 0-7041 represents a significant endeavor aimed at developing the NextGen Texas Bridge Deck system. Utilizing panel pairs reinforced with wire trusses, the need of bracket-supported deck overhangs is expected to be eliminated, which will reduce construction time and effort. Through a comprehensive research approach encompassing experimental
...
The primary objective of this research is to assist GDOT in its efforts to enhance competition in the Georgia transportation infrastructure market through rebalancing contracting terms and conditions. Rebalancing contracting terms may enable GDOT to manage alternative delivery projects in response to real-time market conditions rather than historic
...
This research focused on two main objectives: (1) to analyze trip generation rates and queuing behavior at drive-through establishments and (2) to assess the accuracy of traditional estimation methods, such as the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. Ultimately, the study aimed to develop improved models and recommend
...
The traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) offers TxDOT a highway-speed, nondestructive testing tool, which can significantly assist TxDOT districts with development of their four-year plans. In this project, the TSD was initially compared to the deflections measured by the falling weight deflectometer (FWD). Good correlation was observed in the maximum
...
The objective of this project was to conduct experimental testing on fence designs that are effective in preventing diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) from entering roadways to prevent the species from being impacted by road mortality. The diamondback terrapin is listed as a State Species of Concern in the State of Georgia. They are the on
...
The overarching goal of this study was to advance the deployment of innovative pavement technologies prevalent in the state of Missouri. In this study, the focus was on evaluating recycled polymers for use in asphalt mixtures and Balanced Mixture Design (BMD) implementation. Nine test sections were constructed on I-155 near Hayti, MO. Six sections
...
This research work focused on evaluating both the technical and design elements necessary to perform augmented reality (AR) assisted bridge inspections. The inspection prototype developed by this project aims to demonstrate the potential benefits and limitations of incorporating head-worn displays into the inspection workflow. By virtue of switchin
...
The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) is pursuing a statewide Traffic Operations Center (TOC) to improve transportation on its roadways. The effort required to establish a TOC is significant; thus, the SDDOT commissioned a feasibility study and report. The project gathered stakeholder input, performed research on nationwide practice
...
The Wireless charging pavements, which leverage induction charging via primary and secondary coils in concrete pavements, allow an EV to charge either while stationary or traveling as fast as 62 miles per hour (mph) (e.g., the Qualcomm developed testbed). Wireless charging pavements can help reduce the “range anxiety” of EV owners and eventually in
...
This Phase II report builds on Phase I findings, further examining the application of the Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies in supporting transportation system operations and management. Phase I included a literature review to understand the current state of LPWAN applications and an online survey targeting transportation professiona
...
Incident management teams (IMTs) minimize crash impacts and create a safer highway network for people and communities. Research has shown that optimizing the IMT fleet has strong benefits to the roadway network, but future models indicate that increasing IMT presence may have diminishing returns after excessive roadway saturation. The Utah Departme
