As connected freight and passenger vehicles become increasingly present on Texas roadways, the need for real-time, accurate, and cohesive data is growing. In some cases, this data is reliable and readily available to public agencies. In other cases, there are gaps in data availability or quality. A connected vehicle data framework (CVDF) enables th

Work zone safety has been a major concern for many stakeholders, including the state Departments of Transportation (DOTs). To prevent DOT workers, especially truck mounted attenuator (TMA) drivers, from injuries, the Autonomous Truck Mounted Attenuator (ATMA) technology was developed. To understand the current testing and deployment status of ATMA,

The most damaging effects of rain-on-snow (ROS) events are often the result of excess water flows disrupting downstream infrastructure. While rain on snow events have been well studied in previous literature, there exists little research that quantifies the impact of ROS events on infrastructure. This report outlines efforts to explore the influenc

Suppose a government adds two lanes to a highway in both directions but then restricts access to those lanes. The lanes will be “managed”—open only to people in carpools, or to people in single-occupancy vehicles who pay a toll. The toll will vary in response to demand, with the goal of avoiding congestion and keeping vehicles moving. Will the tota

Daily vehicle travel collapsed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 but largely bounced back by late 2021. The pandemic caused dramatic changes to working, schooling, shopping, and leisure activities, and to the travel associated with them. Several of these changes have so far proven enduring. So, while overall vehicle travel had l

The use of wider (greater than 4 in) edge line pavement markings is recognized as a proven safety countermeasure by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). However, providing wider edge lines can pose challenges due to budget and striping capacity constraints. One strategy that could be used to address the capacity constraints involves reducing
