The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) required the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to conduct a study of its Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP) program and report to Congress on the review’s findings. This report provides the detailed description of the research that supported the summary letter re

Hydrophobic pore blocking admixtures and crystalline admixtures are permeability-reducing admixtures (PRAs) marketed to reduce water ingress into and increase the service life of reinforced concrete. Because corrosion of steel reinforcement is the main cause of deterioration and repair expenses for reinforced concrete structures owned by the Florid

Statistical evidence shows the role of risky driving as a contributing factor in roadway collisions, highlighting the importance of identifying such driving behavior. With the advent of new technologies, vehicle kinematic data can be collected at high frequency to enable driver behavior monitoring. The current project aims at mining a huge amount o

Significant electrification of the transportation sector is necessary for the State to achieve several important greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and renewable energy targets. The State’s electricity generation and transmission capabilities must increase in order to meet the demand generated by increasing levels of fleet electrification. The increase

Peak period motor vehicle traffic volume congests roads all over the world. This project hypothesizes implementing congestion- clearing payments to passengers as a permanent congestion-management solution. Ongoing congestion-free travel would be achieved by removing existing congestion, and absorbing (re)generated demand, at costs that would be exp

This research study looks at potential enhancements to Idaho’s DMV web portal. Researchers reviewed existing literature to extrapolate potential benefits of e-government services, documented existing DMV services offered by each U.S. state, analyzed current business processes, investigated current laws and practices governing e-signatures for vehic

The South Ward is the working site for the Port of Newark, the Newark Liberty International Airport, and the intercity and commuter rail station that serves the airport. It is also home to an historic Olmsted Brothers park surrounded by contiguous older neighborhoods, including Dayton and Weequahic, where many individuals and households are struggl

A surge in shared micromobility services has been accompanied by an increase in vehicle parking violations and associated public complaints. The parking infractions vary from annoying when parked on private property, to unseemly when parked inside a city park to downright unsafe when interfering with utilities or blocking an Americans with Disabili

Walking to school, which was once a commonplace rite of passage, now makes up only a small minority of school trips. Multiple studies have shown that concerns are strongly linked to the physical environment that exists between home and school. Over the past decade, hundreds of projects have been funded through the Utah Safe Routes to School and Saf

Motor carriers that transport congressionally specified quantities and types of hazardous materials (HM) are required to register as an HM transporter with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and obtain a Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP) from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). An HMSP is

Stop lines are ubiquitous, but do they really impact intersection safety? Prior to this project, no long-term studies on intersection safety with stop lines had been completed. This project was developed with two parallel research efforts: a safety study and an observational study. The safety study was developed to address stop lines’ effects over

Municipalities across Minnesota have turned to Complete Streets in an attempt to develop more usable roads for their residents. This report investigates how Complete Streets are reshaping one Minnesota community. In 2013, Richfield, a suburb of Minneapolis, enacted a particularly innovative Complete Streets policy. Known locally as “Richfield Sweet

The California Tiger Salamander – Ambystoma californiense (CTS) is endemic to California. The Sonoma County distinct population segments (DPS) and Santa Barbara County DPS are federally listed as Endangered, while the Central California DPS is federally listed as Threatened. CTS is listed as Threatened under the California Endangered Species Act. C

Rutgers CAIT personnel recently developed a real-time lead sensor for use in sediment systems. The largest hurdle by far however was the development of a digestion procedure to accurately assess the actual concentration within a given mass of sediment. The sensor that was developed can only measure lead in the dissolved phase, as a result in order
