This project supported the efforts of Florida’s Safe Mobility for Life Coalition (SMFLC) to meet the aims outlined in Florida’s Aging Road User Strategic Safety Plan (ARUSSP), which include increasing aging road users’ safety and mobility. To better understand aging road users’ transportation-related behaviors and attitudes, a statewide online surv

This project aimed to streamline CTB mixture design with an accelerated process and lab procedures similar to those recently developed for emulsified and foamed asphalt. By employing indirect tensile (IDT) strength from 4-in.- diameter, 2-in.-tall specimens, the accelerated mix design approach can produce results faster and with less material than

0-6973: Predictive Mapping of Rare PlantsRare plants are essential components of a functioning ecosystem. These species are often phenotypically unique or provide a specific ecosystem function. Rare plants may be limited in range, limited in population numbers, or a combination of both. These plants are often imperiled due to a combination of facto

Aviation emissions from landing and takeoff operations (LTO) can degrade local and regional air quality leading to adverse health outcomes in populations near airports and downwind. In this study we aim to quantify the air quality and health-related impacts from commercial LTO emissions in the continental U.S. for two recent years’ inventories, 201

In 2019, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended the introduction of all-ages helmet law, to reduce fatalities involving cyclists. Even though the benefits of wearing helmets in protecting cyclists against trauma in cycling crashes has been documented, the use of helmets is still limited, and there is opposition against mandatory helme

Bridge deck drains are an integral component of bridges helping in the removal of runoff. The debris carried by the runoff clog drains frequently. The objective of this project is to synthesize and evaluate existing bridge deck drains and provide recommendations for the design, construction, and maintenance of bridge deck drains. The research findi

Objective: Drawing from the framework of social determinants of health, the objective of this paper was to investigate the cross-sectional association between transportation-related factors and self-perceived physical health among adults in the U.S. while adjusting for known demographic and socioeconomic-related factors. Methods: Data for this repo

Understanding the precision of a test method is important to aid in evaluating the expected level of agreement in test results on like materials when performed either in a single lab or across multiple labs. Every test will be subject to some level of random errors; additionally, systematic factors or other factors impacting the test result could e

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) LRFD Bridge Design Specifications requires that bridge piers be capable of withstanding a lateral 600 kip static force. Older bridge piers throughout Kansas, specifically those constructed before the requirement for the 600 kip force was established, often have insuffic

Transverse cracking of concrete bridge decks continues to be an issue for the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and is considered a common issue reported among many state departments of transportation (DOTs). In the last 25 years with the introduction of high performance concrete (HPC) in bridge decks to lower permeability and with the use

The objective of this project was to develop and evaluate a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) methodology for developing transportation mobility plans by assessing the needs of travelers in the community. The methodology was tested and refined at two Gainesville, Florida, neighborhoods: Duval Heights in the East Gainesville (EG) area an

This research project implemented a series of studies that investigated the daily and seasonal movements of brown pelicans in the Bahía Grande Wetland Complex (BGWC) of South Texas. The project was motivated by brown pelican mortality that occurs along a stretch of highway (State Highway 48 [SH 48]) that links Brownsville, Texas, to Port Isabel, Te

The processes in the pavement life cycle can be defined as: material extraction and production; construction; transport of materials and demolition; the use stage, where the pavement interacts with other systems; the materials, construction, and transport associated with maintenance and rehabilitation; and end-of-life. Local governments are increas

A comprehensive research investigation was carried out to investigate the use of recycled materials in Super-pave asphalt mixtures in Missouri. The investigation involved sampling of aggregates, binders, plant-produced mixtures, and field cores followed by a rigorous lab testing program. Lab testing included an extensive binder extraction and recov

Building Information Modeling (BIM) can provide solutions to many challenges of asset management, such as missingdata, incompatible software, and an unclear business process. However, current implementation of BIM in infrastructure projects has only considers limited factors, such as technology application and digital information delivery, while is

The negative impact of adverse weather conditions on traffic safety and operation is the primary focus of many studies. However, in-depth investigations of driver behavior and performance during adverse weather at a trajectory level using naturalistic driving data are limited. Over the years, researchers have utilized aggregate traffic and weather

A pavement friction management program (PFMP) should involve both equipment to collect friction and other relevant data as well as processes to analyze friction and crash data to determine possible friction enhancement treatments on sections that warrant it. This project built on previous experience with PFMPs to (1) propose an enhanced methodology

The communication between roadside units (RSUs) and onboard units (OBUs) using dedicated short range communication (DSRC) was implemented across 22 intersections on Mahan corridor in the City of Tallahassee with the aim of broadcasting signal phasing and timing (SPaT) and intersection map (MAP) information to OBU-equipped vehicles. The overall goal
