The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures has notably increased in recent times. Nevertheless, the inherent stiff and aged characteristics of RAP materials have consistently raised concerns regarding cracking performance. The use of recycling agents (RAs) has gained popularity in recent years since they can effectively modify

Under the coverage of Project 0-7041, a comprehensive research initiative was undertaken to develop and validate the NextGen Texas bridge deck system. The research endeavors encompassed a multi-phase approach, combining rigorous experimental investigation with advanced nonlinear finite element analysis. The primary objective was to evaluate the beh

Managing construction costs and budgets remains a top priority of TDOT in allocating resources provided by taxpayers. Estimating project costs accurately is critical to ensuring that projects are delivered in the fiscal year they were planned. This project developed a Retaining Wall Probable Bid Price Estimating Tool to provide accurate estimates o

For the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT), the Nebraska Winter Severity Index (NEWINS) provided an independent framework to calculate a winter season’s severity by categorizing individual winter storms. However, one of the greatest limitations of NEWINS is that it is not predictive. Thus, this study builds on the previously developed NEW

This report is written in response to the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Division of Aeronautics, relating to the need to update the 2011 version of the California Airport Land Use Planning (ALUP) Handbook. The purpose of this technical report and its supplementary materials is to provide a robust scientific foundation

The goal of this project was to develop, investigate, and implement optimized concrete mixtures to be used in closure pour connections between precast elements in side-by-side accelerated bridge construction (ABC) superstructure systems. This project involves the use of innovative materials and mixture proportions that are intended to provide high

Driver-assistance systems are essential to reduce accidents and improve energy efficiency through efficient convoying. To improve their effectiveness, it is important that vehicles are able to communicate with each other, informing each other of their intentions, and warning each other of obstacles or cross traffic that only some of the vehicles mi

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) must inspect pavement and bridge decks to support proactive infrastructure maintenance. By leveraging non-destructive evaluation technologies for sensing and data processing, Caltrans would improve the speed and efficiency of this critical duty. The Strategic Highway Research Program recognized

The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) frequently applies roadway overlays to the surface of bridges to extend the bridge’s lifespan. To minimize repair costs, NDOT does not desire to replace or alter any bridge rails with adequate structural capacity and height. Bridge rails installed to NCHRP Report 350 or MASH standards are likely to r

This report documents the findings of the BRACE2 project. In order to accommodate the interdisciplinary nature of such an undertaking, this document is divided into four parts which are each designed for a particular target audience. Part I develops a high-level overview of the BRACE2 web application that is targeted at decision makers and engineer
...
The condition, visibility, and contrast of longitudinal pavement markings are critical to roadway safety and have been used for decades by infrastructure owner operators (IOOs) as a frame of reference to communicate to drivers how to navigate roadways. Over the last decade, vehicle manufacturers have also begun incorporating new intelligent, advanc

Pedestrian safety has been a major concern throughout the 140-year history of the automobile, resulting in the development of numerous safety treatment options for mid-block pedestrian crossings. These include several types of beacons and signals. Some of these devices use flashing yellow beacons to alert motorists to pedestrian presence, while oth
...
SCDOT is focused on improving the design of Cement-Modified Recycled Base (CMRB) to enhance the long-term durability and performance of pavements. The current approach emphasizes using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and other parameters such as optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD) along with treatment depth in designi
...
High-speed rail (HSR) provides more frequent service, lower cost, easier station access, greater reliability, and increased safety, and therefore has been regarded as a more effective transportation mode as compared to aviation for distances of up to 425 miles/700 km. California is currently building a high-speed rail system (CHSR), which will run

Emergency preparedness and response are crucial for mitigating the impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes. The St. Louis metropolitan region is vulnerable to earthquakes in the New Madrid and Wabash Valley Seismic Zones. This study focuses on understanding and addressing transportation impacts of an earthquake in the St. Louis region. An o

To reduce the environmental impact of transportation, Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are incorporating cold recycling technologies such as Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) in their rehabilitation strategies. One of the limitations hindering the deployment of FDR is the limited information available on the material properties of these mixtures and
