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
...
The goal of the project was to lay the groundwork for the integration of PMA overlays into transportation agencies’ overall pavement preservation strategies by developing a guidebook that offers insights into the implementation and efficacy of the technique. The objectives were to survey the experiences of transportation agencies using PMA overlays

PDF
Each month the Department of Transportation releases an Air Travel Consumer Report that includes information about various service quality elements, including flight delays, mishandled baggage, over sales, and a variety of other types of consumer complaints. In response to an increasing number of inquiries from consumers about domestic airline pric

This report contains a summary of the themes, codes, and sub-codes that emerged from the focus group discussions conducted for the Minnesota Local Road Research Board. Four focus groups were conducted between November 15 - 30, 2023 with the featured stakeholder groups: CDL license holders (4 participants), Jobseekers (8 participants), HR profession

Without high-quality crash data and robust interpretive/analytical tools to analyze these data, transportation agencies will struggle to develop evidence-based strategies for improving road safety. Crash narratives are one element of crash reports that pose especially acute interpretive challenges. These narratives supplement coded data and give an

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

The primary objective of this project was to investigate live load distribution over buried CIP-RC box culverts for the purpose of recommending the most suitable LLDF that can be used in design and load rating. The goals of the project were to: 1. Conduct a parametric investigation of buried CIP-RC box culverts that covers key parameters known to a

Connected and automated vehicles (CAV) promise momentous and positive changes to most aspects of modern life. Mobility is likely to be characterized by collaborative, communicative and driverless vehicles operating in a connected network of vehicles, infrastructure and wireless devices. One of the most uncertain and as yet undefined areas where cha
...
The Mobility Energy Productivity (MEP) metric measures the quality of mobility at a specific location and can be used to evaluate how changes to transportation systems impact the mobility of that location over time, such as through infrastructure investments. The objective of this study is to demonstrate integration of the MEP metric into CDOT’s tr

Advanced air mobility (AAM) is a nascent market within the aviation sector of Illinois’ transportation system, promising enhanced movement of people and cargo to previously inaccessible or underserved locations. This project addresses AAM’s prospects and impacts in the state. The research encompasses several tasks, starting with an examination of t

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

US 101 is a vital economic and emergency lifeline that connects coastal communities and provides access to numerous coastal destinations for Oregonians and tourists. Many sections of this highway are highly susceptible to coastal hazards such as erosion, landsliding, wave action, storm surge, flooding, and rising sea levels. In general, US 101 on t

This study reviewed the state of the art and practice in bridge element deterioration / improvement modeling. It also developed a new and practical method for such modeling using element quantities in BrM inspection records along with bridge age. For reliable forecasting, this method uses these quantities directly to determine transition probabilit

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

This report summarizes the results from an investigation of the behavior of cast-in-place (CIP) reinforced concrete (RC) box culverts. Load rating of CIP-RC box culverts has been a challenge for Departments of Transportation (DOTs) across the nation, including in Louisiana. Excessive conservatism built into the American Association of State Highway

The set-up, removal, and modification of temporary work zone traffic control on multi-lane, high-speed roadways can create hazardous exposures for workers and motorists. A comprehensive literature review on the topic reveals a lack of a standard process and detailed guidance for setting up and removing traffic control. This study aimed to investiga

Highway-rail grade crossings (HRGCs) are conflict areas for trains and road users, which present a significant safety concern in Florida. The HRGCs not only affect safety but also have a significant impact on traffic operations. FDOT explored several strategies to improve safety and mobility related to railroad grade crossings, including signage, p
...
The following research project explores bridge applications of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Bridge deterioration, including decks and other members, is a problem across Montana and UHPC overlays and patching/repairing have been found to be viable alternatives to bridge/element replacement. The current study began with a literature review
