Accurate estimation of daily and annual aircraft operations at airports is vital for various objectives, including airport planning, funding allocation, and aviation forecasts. However, obtaining precise operational data from airports without control towers has been challenging. In 2018, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) published an

The objective of this research project is to evaluate the current method to develop TAZ-level socioeconomic forecasts for counties in the state outside the Wasatch Front and explore options for reducing costs and improving data quality. The socioeconomic data forecasts are currently developed in a series of spreadsheets that must be manually update

To identify roadway-adjacent areas that are likely to have a greater sensitive to deicing chemicals, specifically chlorides, this project conducted a literature search to describe the effects of deicing chemicals, the factors which mitigate or increase their impacts, and constructed a geospatial model that uses a variety of descriptive data to esti

Winter weather events can yield low visibility and/or lower the coefficient of friction on the road surface resulting in vehicular crashes or congestion. Transportation agencies are tasked with maintaining safe and reliable roadways for the traveling public which includes combating these snow and ice events. The traveling public’s demand for a high

The objectives of this project were to 1) examine the AV-based microtransit service in the Lake Nona neighborhood of Orlando, Florida called Move Nona and 2) develop a framework for examining various aspects of the system, including policy and government support, infrastructure and technology, service and management, financial sustainability, and r

Planners and policymakers rely on data and models to support infrastructure, operational, and other decisions. Attitudinal data, and models that use these data, provide insights into passenger travel behavior that cannot be easily explained by other types of data. However, collecting and using attitudinal data in transportation models has many chal

This research introduces practical optimization model for implementing ride-sharing in taxi services and studies the effects of ride-sharing on the congestion status through the case study of Chicago. Ride-sharing combines trips into one ride-shared trip with the objective of maximizing the total mileage saving. This research proposes a multi-stage

Steel girder ends are susceptible to corrosion damage due to deicing salts, water, and other contaminants leaking from failed expansion joints. When corrosion becomes significant, it leads to a reduction in the sectional properties of steel girders and consequently reduces bearing and shear resistance. Conventional repair methods, although effectiv

Winter road maintenance provides significant safety and economic benefits during adverse winter weather conditions. Chemicals are commonly used prior, during and after storms to provide better road conditions through a variety of mechanisms. The solid deicer most used by State departments of transportation (DOTs) is sodium chloride (NaCl), but the

One of the primary determinants of project success is completion of the project on or ahead of schedule. Owners therefore pay a great deal of attention to schedule progress and timely project completion. This holds true especially for departments of transportation (DOTs), each of which adheres to its own specification requirements for progress sche

The central objective of this research was to help the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) revise its progress scheduling specifications in a way that meets its core mission objectives while improving the practicality and efficiency of project management for contractors.
The main objective of this project is to develop the framework for inspection and condition assessment of in-service FRP reinforced/strengthened concrete (FRP-RSC) bridge elements. The framework applies to both FRP reinforced structures (FRP internal application) and FRP strengthened structures (FRP external application) and conforms with National
...
This research covers six types of land uses of greater interest to DOTD as a pilot study. They are apartments, urgent care facilities, dollar stores, car washes, drive-thru banks, and drive-thru daiquiri/boil shops.
This study presents the results of a review and developed framework for implementing a data-driven safety analysis in Oregon Department of Transportation’s project development process. This framework considered existing best practice methodologies at the federal level from the FHWA and Transportation Research Board as well as those currently being
...
Utility issues often cause significant delays in transportation construction projects. These delays result from several factors spanning multiple project phases. This project studied the current utility process at the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and provided recommendations to minimize overall project delays. The project wor

Advanced air mobility (AAM) is a broad concept that enables consumers access to air mobility, goods delivery, and emergency services through an integrated and connected multimodal transportation network. AAM can provide short-range urban, suburban, and rural flights of about 50-miles and mid-range regional flights up to a several hundred miles. Sta

The goal of this project was to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) framework to detect crosswalk locations across the state of Massachusetts, as well as their type classification (continental, parallel lines, or solid) and location category (intersection, midblock, or driveway). Aerial images downloaded from MassGIS were annotated, and these w

The University of Florida (UF) and its Transportation Institute (UFTI), the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and the City of Gainesville (CoG) have partnered to create I-STREETTM (Implementing Solutions from Transportation Research and Evaluation of Emerging Technologies). The principal objective of the three partners in developing I-ST
