Decisions made regarding driver sight distance at rural intersections are complex and require considerations for safety, efficiency, and environmental factors. Sight distance, cross-traffic velocity, and vehicle placements significantly affect driver judgment and behavior at these intersections. A series of rural, two-lane thru-STOP simulated inter

Walking, which was once ubiquitous, now makes up only a small minority of school trips. The main reason students no longer walk and bike to school is parental concerns about safety. This research aims to create a new Safe Routes to School funding application, guided by international best-practices focusing on return on investment. Doing so will imp

Perennial energy crops like switchgrass that are used for biofuel production have the potential to generate various water quality benefits such as reduced nitrogen runoff. Yet the current expected returns to switchgrass are not profitable enough for these crops to be widely adopted by U.S. farmers due to relatively unstable yields, volatile revenue
