This report presents a study that conducted an assessment of the potential impacts, benefits, and impediments of the introduction of automated trucks and truck platooning on Texas highway infrastructure. The assessment included, but was not limited to, identification or review of the following: (a) any needed infrastructure hardening decisions and
...
The objective of this project was to identify the applications of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) that are suitable for the Texas transportation system. To achieve this goal, the following three activities were conducted: (1) literature review and data analysis, (2) survey on ECC state-of-the-practice, and (3) cost-benefit analysis through
...
The purpose of the testing reported herein was to assess the performance of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) W-beam guardrail with 7½-inch diameter round wood posts in concrete mow strip according to the safety-performance evaluation guidelines included in the American Association of Safety Highway and Transportation Officials Manual
...
Using a data-driven approach to analyze safety issues and projects will help Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) districts to target safety investments with more confidence and reduce crashes on Texas highways. Many predictive and systemic analysis tools are now available that provide the means to quantify safety impacts in a similar way so
...
The intent of this project is to compare the effectiveness of network screening and diagnostic methods using aggregate SPFs and Test of Proportions with crash type SPFs. Both methods were applied to the same datasets containing crash history and exposure data. Sixteen (16) frequency and severity Colorado-specific crash type SPFs were developed for
...
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of lighting conditions on pedestrian crashes. The major objectives are learning and documenting lighting policies, guidelines, and practices in Louisiana as well as other states. Emphasis will be given to street lighting policies with a focus on pedestrians. Secondly, lighting conditi

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) snowplow fleet currently uses halogen lights mounted on the push frame for night time snowplowing operations. Due to the excessive vibration, frequent bulb replacement is necessary. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are less susceptible to vibrations and could reduce long term maintenance cost. Plow

On September 11-17, 2013, Colorado suffered devastating and widespread flash flooding over 150 miles from Colorado Springs north to Fort Collins, impacting 24 counties. The flood damaged several bridges and over 400 miles of state roads. As a result of the transportation damage, residents of Drake, Colorado, were isolated and had to be evacuated vi

As of 2016, TxDOT managed a total of 16,327 lane miles of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement, which represents an important asset to TxDOT. As PCC pavements in Texas built in the 1960s through 1980s have already exceeded or are approaching the end of their design lives, many of these projects will require some form of rehabilitation. Consideri
...
This guideline is to demonstrate and provide the key findings of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Project 0-6940 Develop System to Render Mechanistic-Empirical Traffic Data for Pavement Design. It can be used as a guide for rendering the traffic data required for FPS and mechanistic-empirical (ME) pavement designs for TxDOT engineers. Thi

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
...
This study identifies effective practices for transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) at the strategic, programmatic and tactical level, assesses Georgia Department of Transportation’s status using the TSMO Capability Maturity Model (CMM), and offers recommendations to move the agency to the next level. The study develops a tool for
...
Iowa Department of Transportation expressed an interest in commissioning Infratek Solutions Inc. to provide its next-generation bridge deck assessment and analysis services (insight) to Iowa’s selected bridge inventory. To meet this objective, Iowa has initiated a research study with the goal of exploring and refining how advanced NDE assessment te

Located in south suburban Cook County, approximately 22 miles (35 km) south of downtown Chicago, the Village of Dolton and Village of Riverdale are investigating options to improve safety at at-grade rail crossings and to minimize the impact of train horn noise throughout their communities. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) in 2005 issued Q
...
In 2017, a connected vehicle (CV) corridor utilizing dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) technology was built along Redwood Road in Salt Lake County, Utah. The main purpose of the CV corridor was to implement transit signal priority (TSP) when a bus is running behind its published schedule. The performance data was generated by the transit v
