In 2022 there were 7,971 people 65 and older killed and an estimated 268,622 injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Older people made up 19 percent of all traffic fatalities and 11 percent of all people injured in 2022. Compared to 2021 there was a 6-percent increase in the number of traffic fatalities and a 1-percent increase in the estimated n

In 2023 seat belt use in the United States ranged from 68.2 percent in the U.S. Virgin Islands to 98.4 percent in Hawaii. Twenty-seven States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Northern Mariana Islands achieved seat belt use rates of 90 percent or higher. These results are from probability-based observational surveys conducted by

This study aimed to forecast the time to failure of aging, deteriorating clay embankments supporting transportation infrastructure. This study utilized the user-defined subroutines that were developed and implemented by Morsy et al. to allow transient calculations of coupled hydromechanical behavior.
This study examines rural transit needs for Jaunt. The objective is to quantify the need for transit services in each of Jaunt’s partner jurisdictions. Jaunt provides transit in the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, and the counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson. Neighboring Goochland County is also included in the

Since Fiscal Year 2017, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has employed advanced automated and semi-automated techniques using 3D laser technology and high-resolution cameras to collect pavement condition data over 197,000 lane miles. Although this approach marks a significant technological advancement, concerns about the accuracy and p

Currently, most state highway agencies (SHAs), including Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), require specific aggregates for Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) and high-level Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures. Meanwhile, to reduce the cost and maintain mixtures’ durability, SHAs have been trying to identify locally available, cost-effective, and du

Access management is a form of traffic engineering utilized by transportation agencies to improve the safety and efficiency of traffic flow on, off, and between roadways. Access management applies a variety of construction interventions that manipulate how vehicles enter and exit roadways and access the driveways or parking lots of homes and busine

The reliability of a microsimulation model such as VISSIM depends on proper calibration and validation to accurately represent real-world traffic conditions. However, the VISSIM default values do not apply to local traffic conditions and need to be calibrated for local traffic conditions considering the higher number of car-following parameters. He

The Multimodal Airport Charging Station Deployment – Phase I research addressed the following principal objectives: Conduct a feasibility analysis for a multimodal charging station at a Michigan Airport, and provide recommendations on design and implementation of multimodal charging stations. The research team reviewed previous reports, evaluated a

In 2020, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), in collaboration with the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) Air Pollution Control Division (APCD), began monitoring along a section of Interstate (I) 270 that is slated for roadway construction. Specifically, five types of non-regulatory supplemental and information

The current research project aimed to evaluate the necessary elements for creating a data management platform for the FDOT districts. To achieve the project objectives, a statewide survey was developed and disseminated to each district in Florida and the findings were used to summarize best practices and areas of opportunity. The literature review

The purpose of this project was to conduct a gap analysis that examined the needs of LIMMS users from system design and functionality to security. The analysis took into consideration the multiple platforms used by MassDOT currently for material and contract management. During the project, feedback was obtained from MassDOT users via private meetin

The service life of steel bridge coatings in Florida is occasionally shorter than the intended design life, resulting in the need for increased maintenance painting. This project examined the value of warranty terms potentially included in painting contracts to improve the quality and durability of steel bridge coatings. The research found that the

Recently, a precast concrete bridge barrier with unique connection details for barrier-to-deck and barrier-to-barrier interfaces was developed at the Institute of Transportation (InTrans)-Iowa State University (ISU) for ABC applications. Successful laboratory quasi-static tests led to the current study, in which the primary objectives were to deter

To facilitate bridge management decision-making and implement preventive maintenance strategies, we endeavor to develop a machine learning model to predict the future condition rating of bridges using historical inspection data, with a funding contract with Connecticut State’s Department of Transportation. We collect the data from the USA's Nationa

This report summarizes the state-of-practice in the evaluation, design, and implementation of chemical subgrade stabilization. Four Tennessee soils (two A-6 and two A-7-6) were obtained and mix designs were prepared to provide examples of the testing required for chemical stabilization. The stabilized soils met the design unconfined strength criter
