As connected freight and passenger vehicles become increasingly present on Texas roadways, the need for real-time, accurate, and cohesive data is growing. In some cases, this data is reliable and readily available to public agencies. In other cases, there are gaps in data availability or quality. A connected vehicle data framework (CVDF) enables th

Auger cast piles have historically been used for private industry applications but not publicly funded infrastructure projects supporting bridge structures largely due to the lack of quantifiable quality assurance and quality controls. The development of computerized on-board drill rig monitoring systems and thermal integrity methods for auger cast

This research project conducted a local verification to assess the accuracy of globally calibrated Pavement ME Design distress and smoothness models for asphalt pavements in Alabama. Pavement sections included LTPP test sections in Alabama and neighboring states, as well as sections tested at the NCAT Test Track. Results showed significant bias in

Corroded steel members cause significant risk to the durability of steel bridges, leading to costly failures and endangering public safety. Thus, it is essential to implement effective corrosion prevention and mitigation strategies to ensure the long-term durability of steel girders and reduce risks associated with corrosion activities. The Texas D

Each month the Department of Transportation releases an Air Travel Consumer Report that includes information about various service quality elements, including flight delays, mishandled baggage, over sales, and a variety of other types of consumer complaints. In response to an increasing number of inquiries from consumers about domestic airline pric

Corrosion in reinforced concrete is a self-accelerating process. As rust forms on steel, it enlarges in size and exerts tension on concrete, causing cracks and further corrosion in steel. The Texas Department of Transportation spends millions of dollars every year for repair and maintenance of concrete bridges; thus, a comprehensive study is essent

This study investigated the bearing stress imparted by a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining system. Use of the MSE system is notable for the associated cost efficiency, flexibility, and high deformation tolerance compared to traditional concrete retaining systems. There have been recent cases highlighting the need for substantial foundat

Transit signal priority (TSP) is an operational strategy that facilitates the movement of transit vehicles through signal-controlled intersections. Transit vehicle delay can occur for many reasons including traffic congestion, passenger boarding and alighting, traffic signal operations, and other factors but TSP is specifically aimed at reducing de

The United States trails other developed countries in several transportation safety metrics. One metric, road traffic death rate, is higher than in other developed countries (World Health Organization 2024) (Figure 1.1). Progress has been made to reduce the number of traffic-related fatalities, but crashes resulting in death, injury, and property d

Roundabouts have been effective at increasing safety and efficiency of vehicle traffic. Traditional roundabout design typically requires a larger “footprint” than a traditional four-way intersection. Over the past few years, more and more agencies are implementing “mini roundabouts,” a type of roundabout characterized by a small diameter that can i

State and local agencies often face the challenge of managing their pavement networks with limited resources. The natural degradation of new pavements, influenced by traffic loads and environmental factors, necessitates attention. Extending the service life of pavements without resorting to costly rehabilitation or reconstruction activities is feas
