This study analyzed the conversion of HOV Lanes to HOT Lanes in Tennessee. The research applied several approaches including microsimulations of HOV/HOT Lanes that employed data from Greater Nashville Regional Council (GNRC) travel demand model and field collected traffic counts. Microsimulation was conducted through VISUM and VISSIM software by im

The engineering properties of asphalt mixtures change with time. Shortly after placement, asphalt concrete (AC) layers are more susceptible to rutting. As the pavement ages, the AC layer becomes stiffer, brittle, and thus more susceptible to cracking. Current protocols provide guidelines for the selection of materials, the determination of the mate
