Non-traffic motor vehicle crashes are a class of crashes that occur off the public trafficways. These are mostly single-vehicle crashes on private roads, two-vehicle crashes in parking facilities, or collisions with pedestrians in driveways. In addition, there are “non-traffic incidents” such as a vehicle falling on a person underneath the vehicle

To improve the visibility and safety of pedestrian and bicyclist crossings, traffic-safety professionals across Minnesota have installed the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) and Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) at numerous locations around the state. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the safety benefits, if any, for pedestrians

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

E-commerce services and facilities have the benefits of bringing new employment opportunities to communities and meeting consumer needs, but they also attract heavy traffic, which results in congestion and negative environmental and economic repercussions. This project offers a new lens for studying future e-commerce facility siting, considering cu

Workforce education is crucial to ensuring the safety and equality of the work environment. Immersive virtual reality (VR) training is revolutionizing workforce education, providing practical on-the-job training within a safe simulated environment. The project aimed to develop an immersive training platform using state-of-the-art VR technologies an

Considering the challenges hindering the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and heavy-duty electric vehicles (HDEVs), the integration of dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) technology into roadways has gained interest. By embedding DWPT components into pavement, electrical power can be delivered to an EV or HDEV as they are in motion

Research has demonstrated the multiple benefits of fibers for the early and late-age performance of concrete pavements and bridge decks. Many research studies have also shown that the expected enhancements in properties of concrete with recycled fibers could be commensurate with those of concrete reinforced with virgin fibers. However, compared wit
