The parkDC: Penn Quarter/Chinatown Multimodal Value Pricing Pilot used the Penn Quarter/Chinatown neighborhoods of Washington, DC as a laboratory to test state-of-the-art strategies to make it easier to find a parking space. The project provided real-time parking-availability information so customers could spend less time searching and changed park

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is in charge of constructing, maintaining and ensuring the safety of roads within its control. Proper maintenance procedures are critical in reducing the amount of funding required to sustain long lasting and safe roads. One maintenance responsibility of ODOT is to inspect and clean the storm sewer infra

The objectives of this project are to quantify safety performance of intersections on curves for Louisiana’s state- and locally-owned roads, determine the magnitude of the problem, identify risk factors or roadway characteristics associated with related crashes, and develop a list of possible countermeasures that target the identified risk factors.
Accurate and practical production rate estimates are crucial for an accurate forecast of contract completion time. As costs of highway projects increase with time, the importance of estimating highway construction contract time has increased significantly, thereby emphasizing the need for effective production rates due to the interrelatedness betwe

This research investigated the accuracy and reliability of KC Scout traffic sensors in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The locations and sensors under investigation are of particular importance to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) because they regularly report accurate traffic counts to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The

A fiber-reinforced super-workable concrete (FR-SWC) made with 0.5% micro-macro steel fibers and 5% CaO-based expansive agent was selected for the new deck slab reconstruction of Bridge A8509. The selected FR-SWC had a targeted slump flow of 20 in. at the casting location. Multiple trial batches were performed, in collaboration with the concrete sup

The objective of this research was to identify alternatives to the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration’s (MDOT SHA's) procedure of placing cast-in-place concrete overlays on prestressed bridge decks. The current practice involves the application of a cement-sand slurry mix over the bridge deck prior to placement of ov
...
Simplification and standardization of the seismic design processes for typical Alabama bridges has been investigated and developed in this research. A number of design tools have been developed to reduce the analysis complexity and time demands on bridge designers. These tools can be used to simplify and standardize the seismic design process due t

University of South Florida researchers conducted a study to compare Florida’s access management programs to those of comparable states and with current best practices for context-sensitive access management.
Since its creation, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has made safety its number one priority. Over a decade ago, UDOT began implementing technological enhancements to reduce the fatality rate of pedestrians involved in crashes. However, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of these enhancements. This study evaluates the safety

Successes in Stewardship is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) bimonthly newsletter highlighting current best practices in stewardship and environmental review from around the country.
This guidebook provides public transit agencies in rural Texas communities with the information necessary to implement a package delivery service in coordination with a private package delivery partner. Chapter 1 introduces the guidebook, describes its purpose, describes the opportunity to provide package delivery via rural transit, and documents f
