Kansas experienced about 60,000 crashes annually from 2013 to 2016, 25% of which occurred at urban intersections. Hence, urban intersections in Kansas are one of the critical locations in terms of frequency of crashes. Therefore, an accurate prediction of crashes at these locations would help identify critical intersections with a higher probabilit

All new pavement systems constructed under the jurisdiction of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) require drainage systems. These drainage systems are constructed with perforated pipe and coarse aggregate that surrounds the pipe. Additionally, to separate the coarse aggregate from the base course and to create a filter, the drainage s

Reinforced concrete inverted-T bridge caps (ITBCs) have been widely used in the bridges in the United States as they are aesthetically pleasing and offer a practical means to increase vertical clearance. Many of the ITBCs are skewed when two roads are not aligned perpendicularly and exceed the 45-degree angle of the construction requirements. The T

The objectives of this research were to develop and analyze deterioration curves for bare concrete bridge decks and decks with specific treatments commonly used in Utah. The scope of this study was determined by the types and extent of electronically available data, including selected static inventory information; maintenance, rehabilitation, and r

The production of Warm-mix asphalt mixtures in conjunction with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has received considerable interest in recent years for economic and environmental reasons. The primary objective of this project is to enhance the performance of asphalt mixtures containing RAP in Region 6 using different WMA technologies. In this proje

Mobile maintenance operations on multi-lane highways, such as pothole patching and sweeping, present unique safety challenges due to the highly variable conditions encountered. While the Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Turnpike currently have procedures for temporary traffic control for mobile maintenance operations, both agencies wanted

In this project, we developed essential modules for achieving the proposed autonomous emergency navigation function for an automated vehicle. We investigated and designed sensing solutions for safe roadside location identification, as well as control solutions for autonomous navigation to the identified location. Sensing capabilities are achieved b

The objective of this study was to develop novel Engineered Geopolymer Composite (EGC) materials implementing locally available ingredients to produce practical and cost-effective EGCs for repair and new construction of transportation infrastructure in the region. To this end, geopolymers (GPs) were synthesized by alkali activation of metakaolin (M
...
Geopolymers are gaining attention as affordable, sustainable, and eco-friendly replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete civil structures. More importantly, Geopolymer-based Cement (GPC) provide sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to OPCs as GPC can be processed at room temperatures from aqueous solutions of waste

Truck platooning is an essential application of connected and autonomous vehicles, where several trucks are connected to each other forming a platoon. It is envisioned that truck platooning can assist in minimizing transportation challenges related to freight movements in the US by improving traffic operation, safety and reducing fuel consumption a

Civil infrastructure assets, including buildings, transportation networks, energy grids and networks, and water-sewer systems, are critical functional components of day-to-day life activity in a modern society. The durability and reliability of these civil infrastructures are largely affected by corrosion-induced structural deterioration. In additi

Knowing the current economic impact of an airport is critical to both airport sponsors and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). While TxDOT periodically commissions a statewide economic impact study, the ability to provide updated or more precise economic impact values to airport sponsors and other stakeholders is needed. Having updated

The primary objective of this project is to propose a laboratory setup to test and evaluate an asphalt mixture layer on top of a simulated Cement-Treated Base (CTB) layer against reflective cracking. An in-depth literature review on the experimental studies that were conducted throughout the world to investigate the resistance of asphalt mixtures t

The scope of this research project was to extend the work by Golias et al. (2017) and Cherry et al. (2017) and collect and process truck, network, and rest area data; develop, distribute and collect, synthesize and analyze a truck parking survey; develop extrapolation factors and estimate truck parking utilization and violations (i.e., truck parkin

The Davis Amtrak station, a stop on the regional Capital Corridor (CC) line has the third highest passenger usage along the Capitol Corridor and up until early 2020, ridership was increasing. However, the station’s parking lot fills up before 6am on weekday mornings and this poses an access challenge to passengers. City of Davis Transportation staf

This report documents the configuration, implementation, and use of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Pavement Management System (PMS). The ADOT PMS is a commercial off-the-shelf, web-based application for managing infrastructure assets. The ADOT PMS complies with the federal reporting requirements for state departments of transportat

Bonded concrete overlay of asphalt (BCOA), previously known as ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW), has been widely used to repair aged asphalt concrete (AC) pavements with moderate distress in many states in the United States. Due to the increasing costs of roadway maintenance, Louisiana has a great interest in determining if the thin bonded concrete ov
