Pilot programs have been implemented in cities across the U.S. to address the first- and last- mile problem with door-to-door shared microtransit, ridehailing companies, and shared-ride operators with dynamic pick-up locations. The City of Rancho Cordova and Lyft partnered to launch one such pilot in the form of a discount-based door-to-door (D2D)

Currently, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) uses the 1972 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) empirical pavement design procedure for the structural design of highways. The layer coefficients used at this time by GDOT were empirically derived from pavement mixes more than 50 years ago. Since th

Asphalt overlays often fail prematurely by allowing the propagation of existing cracks over the overlay surface, thereby forming reflective cracks. Among the many available interlayer reinforcement technologies, geosynthetic products are gaining popularity for mitigating reflective cracking.
