Freight Intermodal Connectors (FICs), which are also known as “first mile/last mile roadways”, are roadway segments that link freight logistic hubs or freight-intensive land uses to main freight routes. This project focused on segments, corridors and intersections that connect Tennessee freight trucks to/from the major freeways from/to high‐priorit

The objective of the project was to produce a prototype instrument and software analysis system for conducting geophysical characterization of subsurface conditions from within a single borehole. In Task 1, Borehole Instrument, two piezoelectric sources were constructed, the first using high frequency piezocylinders and the second using a barrel st

TDOT is currently using the Marshall mix design method for designing asphalt mixtures. However, the Marshall method does not allow for designing larger stone mixes and it hinders the technical information exchange and communication among DOTs. To compare the Marshall and Superpave mix design methods and recommend an improved mix design method for T

The goal of this research is to evaluate the feasibility and the performance of using UAV-mounted infrared thermography (IRT) and ground penetration radar (GPR) to detect sub-surface voids caused by consolidation issues in concrete pavement. The motivation of the study is to identify the consolidation defects as early as the initial set of concrete

Over the next several decades, highly automated driving systems (HADS) will become increasingly common on our roads, greatly reducing traffic accidents and road congestion. However, for the foreseeable future, the human driver will be required to take control when automation fails. Therefore, it is critical to understand how take-overs from HADS af

Our research generated demographic, survey, and behavior data related to driver performance on a simulated highway environment. Data was collected from 36 individuals, that were predominantly undergraduate and graduate students at California State University Long Beach. All identifying information has been removed from the data. Specifically, data

In this project, we developed a deep learning approach for traffic flow forecasting and bus arrival time estimation in Los Angeles. First, we developed a novel Graph Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (GCRNN) to model and forecast traffic flows at different spatial and temporal resolutions. Our GCRNN model considers not only the location of tra

In 2018, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) conducted a one year pilot project through a contract with a vendor (Street Smart) that installed a monitoring device on 20 arrow boards that provided arrow board status information (e.g. right arrow on, left arrow on) to the vendor’s server. The arrow board status information from the ser

The dataset contains the vehicle count by movement information for 35 intersections in Bellevue, WA. It can be used for network-wide traffic simulation. The data were collected in 2017, during an off-peak (1 pm) period in a normal weekday. The Turn_ratio.xlsx file contains intersection identification numbers and vehicle count for each movement. The

This project developed and validated a multi criteria decision making approach for enhancing the longevity of pavement infrastructure built on problematic expansive soils. Expansive soils swell and shrink with changes in moisture content, causing pavements to crack or heave. As of current state of practice, more than 25 state transportation agencie

In early 2019, USDOT sponsored a workshop titled: Building a National Transportation Data Preservation Network. The event brought together thirteen librarians, researchers, repository managers, and others involved in data management efforts to discuss feasibility, rewards, and challenges to building a network or consortium of trustworthy repositori

This dataset contains Signal Phasing and Timing (SPaT), MAP, and Basic Safety Messages (BSM) data from the "Feasibility Study and Assessment of Communications Approaches for Real-Time Traffic Signal Applications" project in the hexadecimal string and pcap formats. The project characterizes and assesses the feasibility of SPaT messages for infrastru

The Federal Radionavigation Plan (FRP) is the official source of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) policy and planning for the Federal Government. It is required by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 1998, as published under Title 10 United States Code, Section 2281, paragraph (c) (10 USC 2281(c)). The FRP is prepar

Maintenance and layover facilities are vital in operating and maintaining passenger rail systems. This research project is interested in the decision-making criteria for locating such facilities and how those criteria impact the performance of the rail system. This research project looks at the locations and the types of most recently-built rail ma

In the state of Nebraska, over one-third of roadways are unpaved, and consequently require a significant amount of financial and operational resources to maintain their operation. Undesired behavior of surface gravel aggregates and the road surfaces can include rutting, corrugation, and ponding that may lead to reduced driving safety, speed or netw

Much attention has been placed on the role that under-roadway culverts may have in inhibiting upstream fish movement because of altered hydrology and unsuitable conditions for accessing or swimming through the culvert. Other culvert effects related to habitat alterations or disturbance to macroinvertebrate communities have received relatively littl

Mathematical models of car-following, lane changing, and gap acceptance are mostly descriptive in nature and lack decision making or error tolerance. Including additional driver-related information with respect to behavior and cognitive characteristics would account for these lacking parameters and incorporate a human aspect to these models. Car-fo

With infrastructure continuing to age, technologies are being developed to strengthen structures as a more sustainable option than replacement. The use of fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) strengthening systems is a promising new technology for adding flexural and shear capacity to existing reinforced concrete members. While cement based

The primary objective of this project was to conduct a field evaluation of a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) connected vehicle traffic signal system deployment in Ada County, Idaho, focusing on validating the communication architecture and control technology readiness for broad implementation. To that end, the reliability of line-of-sight packet ex

The Manhattan Bridge in NYC is spanning the East River and connecting the island of Manhattan to Brooklyn. It is subjected to repeated dynamic loads, especially by the transit system trains with the average daily traffic of 1,000 trains/85,000 automobiles per day. As a result of repeated loads, multitudes of cracks have been developed in the floor
