Florida State University researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review to collect information on traffic data collection using ILDs, particularly during congested periods.
California law (SB 743) requires school districts to measure the impact of school construction on the production of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and identify feasible mitigation measures that eliminate or substantially reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) generated. This study analyzes 301 new schools constructed between 2008-2018 wi

Finite element models (FEM) for Midwest Guardrail System (MGS) and constant UDOT slope 42-in and 54-in cast-in-place (CIP) fixed barriers are created in LS-DYNA. The FEM of a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck is used to perform a Test Level 3 (TL-3) crash simulation for the MGS. FEMs of a Ford 800 single unit truck (SUT) and a tractor-trailer are us

State departments of transportation (DOTs) encounter a critical challenge in estimating accurate cost estimates for major lump sum (LS) pay items, such as Traffic Control and Grading Complete, due to incomplete project information during the early stages of project development. To estimate prices for LS pay items, cost estimators and designers in s

Transportation agencies are tasked with making decisions and taking actions to fight congestion and improve road conditions using the methods and resources available to them. Performance evaluations of traffic conditions at signalized intersections and arterials provide practical data for the agencies to make well-informed decisions for targeted re
...
A pilot routine in-service performance evaluation (ISPE) was undertaken for impact attenuatorsfollowing the process outlined in NCHP 22-33. Controlled stop, rollover, vehicle mix, and secondary impacts on the roadside and roadway were evaluated as performance measures using data sourced from the Crash Location & Analysis System (CLAS) database and
...
ODOT funded this study to investigate existing overtime management practices in the US and search for potential automated systems that are capable of alleviating overtime management challenges. The project conducted a national scan and extensive agency outreach to evaluate existing systems. It further completed interviews with ODOT staff and develo

Laser scanning of transportation aggregate materials provides a means to identify aggregate types, sources, and quality in near real-time. The Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) effort described in this report began as a sequel to a TRB IDEA Program proof of concept laboratory study in 2012, and culminated in the development of the first commercial l

A pilot routine in-service performance evaluation (ISPE) was undertaken for guardrail terminals following the process outlined in NCHRP 22-33. Controlled stop, rollover, vehicle mix, and secondary impacts on the roadside and roadway were evaluated as performance measures using data sourced from the Crash Location & Analysis System (CLAS) database a

The ability to collect and utilize large amounts of data is transforming our world. Industries like healthcare, finance, energy, communication, and transportation are finding ways to utilize data to improve people’s lives. Processing software and inspection-specific asset management platforms are giving asset owners the ability to utilize this data

The effect of scour at the bridge substructure results in an increase in the vulnerability of the overall bridge stability. Previous studies have found that current guidelines are often overly-conservative with respect to scour. This project aims to provide guidance on hydraulic modeling parameters and reasonable scour estimates specific to Nebrask
...
University of South Florida researchers examined MCCS data to determine the relationship of locational, temporal, trip, motorcycle, injury, and contributing crash factors and to develop a basis for informed decision making by FDOT for strategies, countermeasures, and policy.
This report describes a collaborative study conducted by the University of Utah Environmental Fluid Dynamics (EFD) Lab in collaboration with Particle Flux Analytics, Inc., Alta Ski Patrol and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). The objectives of the project were to: (1) field test the Differential Emissivity Imaging Disdrometer (DEID) in

The proposed guidelines help determination of the appropriateness of using a specific PCB segment based on existing segment damage modes. These guidelines can be used at several work stages, such as upon delivery to the project site, during initial setup, during phase changes, and periodically throughout the duration of the project.
The research team started with a thorough review of horizontal curves and their impacts on traffic crashes. This review encompassed the following topics: characteristics of horizontal curves; impacts of horizontal curves on crash risk, frequency, and severity; and factors affecting crashes on horizontal curves. A comprehensive study was then conduc

The spliced girder research program conducted as part of TxDOT Project 0-6652 investigated the implications of spliced girder technology and resulted in updating the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification’s (AASHTO LRFD) General Procedure for shear design, which was originally developed based on the results of small-scale panel tests. However, TxD
