This research investigated the safety and operational benefits of ramp metering along the I-35 corridor in the Kansas City metropolitan area. A before-and-after study was conducted to compare selected performance measures, with a “before” period from August 2015 to December 2015 and an “after” period from October 2021 to February 2022.

According to the current standard specifications and special provisions within the Illinois Department of Transportation, four quality assurance (QA) parameters are used to assess acceptability to remain in place for hot-mix asphalt (HMA) construction projects. However, when these parameters fall outside acceptable limits, it is not clear what impa

This report focuses on the calibration of a design framework for continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) developed in 2009 by using the most recent performance data acquired from existing CRCP sections in Illinois. Field performance data were used to update the fatigue damage to punchout model coefficients in the design framework. A sensit

Concrete bridge decks frequently experience deterioration caused by heavy traffic loads and harsh environmental conditions. New and more effective methods of repair are required to ensure that concrete bridge decks continue to perform adequately. Bridge deck overlays are a popular deck repair strategy as they increase cover for the deck reinforcing

The Benefit Analysis of Barrier Inlet Screens research project studied the effectiveness of screening devices at preventing debris from entering stormwater inlets along highway barrier walls. This research was focused on large trash and debris, as opposed to sediment and dissolved solids. A variety of proprietary and non-proprietary screen devices

A wide range of debris from fine sediments to hubcaps and tires can enter ODOT roadside drainage inlets, disrupting the hydraulic capacity of sewer systems. This often leads to increased stormwater spread and ponding on roadways – a danger to motorists. Barrier inlets are particularly vulnerable to these issues given their minimal separation from t

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has been challenged to address a shortage of staff due to staff turnover, less hiring of full-time staff and increasing technological capabilities all of which have been exacerbated by the retirement of the baby-boomer generation from the workforce. It is imperative that ODOT explore and implement innova

This report summarizes a study on abandoned tunnels' importance to bat populations in Ohio. We located 50 tunnels and surveyed 40 of these for one or more winter season. Little brown myotis, big brown bats, and tricolored bats were the most commonly observed species, with varying preferences for tunnel features. Key predictors of bat use such as tu

The main objective of this project was to develop HPC performance specifications to ensure adequate durability performance matching with exposure conditions.
Vermont Agency of Transportation has adopted use of the accelerated bridge construction (ABC) approach to deliver bridge construction and reconstruction projects. While ABC projects enjoy high material quality due to a large fraction of precast and prefabricated elements, connections between these elements must be placed in-situ. These are often tr

A variety of physical property measurements were performed including Dynamic Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), compression testing, tensile testing, heat deflection temperature (HDT) testing, and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) testing. Results showed a wide range of properties of the resins. Lab scale applicatio

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications are expected to take a critical role in a variety of transportation safety applications in connected and autonomous vehicle environment. However, Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC), one of the representative technologies implementing the V2X communications, is encountering challenges due to the re

Transportation investments vary across geographic areas. Currently, there is no mechanism in place to ensure that those investments are equitable. This project examined transportation investments and infrastructure quality (e.g., pavement conditions, presence of bike lanes, transit access, speed limits, etc.) in urban and rural Utah and correlated

With noticeable staff turnover in certain employment classifications, NJDOT engaged Cambridge Systematics (CS) to conduct the Compensation Scan and Retention Study. This scope of work is focused on researching and collecting information on compensation and retention of employees utilized by municipalities and county transportation agencies, private
