The construction of three partial-depth recycling (PDR) pilot projects was monitored in late 2021. These studies focused on the benefits of adding supplemental aggregates to PDR materials, comparison of emulsified asphalt (EA) and foamed asphalt (FA) recycling agents in PDR applications, comparison of the gradations produced by single- and multi-un

This study utilized Roadside Analysis Program Version 3 (RSAPv3) simulation because it implements previous crash statistics and could be readily updated with local data. With the help of KDOT staff, the research team synthesized traffic operation data and geometric features on rural roads in Kansas and carried out crash simulations using RSAPv3 to

The Safety Pilot Model Deployment (SPMD) study was run in the Ann Arbor, MI area and involved over 2,000 vehicles. The study goal was to pilot a connected-vehicle system that included roadside units (RSUs) fixed to specific intersections and vehicle-based communication units. Data were collected from RSUs as well as vehicles. Each vehicle was equip

The expected crash frequency is the long-term average crash count for a specific site. It is extensively used to systematically evaluate the crash risk associated with roadway elements. To estimate the expected crashes, the Empirical Bayesian (EB) approach is typically employed. The EB method is a computationally convenient approximation to the Ful

The spatial mismatch between demand and supply over time is a significant concern in a bike-share service. One primary strategy to fill the mismatch is to rebalance a shared bike fleet by vans or trucks. The more vans operators use to meet the demand, the more vehicle miles traveled (VMT) the system produces, offsetting the VMT reduction benefit th

Ohio transportation projects are largely founded on three types of foundations: spread footings, drilled shafts, and driven piles. Spread footings are often used in areas where rock is near the surface or where there is competent soil and the structural loads are relatively light. Drilled shafts are almost always socketed into rock, and consequentl
