Selection of the left-turn phasing mode is a significant decision for the safe and efficient movement of left-turning traffic at signalized intersections. Because of different safety and operational effects associated with the signal left-turn mode, the two must be evaluated concurrently and be balanced based on capacity and crash potential when pr

University of Florida researchers studied the effect of heat, humidity, and time of exposure on the setting behavior of prepackaged grout products. Testing was also conducted on some of the constituents of post-tensioning grouts.
A better understanding of the corrosion propagation of carbon steel rebar embedded in high performance concrete is needed. The project aim was to fill some of the knowledge gaps. The study used samples exposed outdoors (now) for over 24 years to wet/dry cycles with seawater. The concrete of these samples can be considered high performance concrete

Tack coats, trackless tack coats, spray paver underseal membranes, and underseals provide varying levels of bonding and sealing performance, but these benefits have not been sufficiently quantified, and neither has the overall impact on the asphalt overlay service life. This study 1) evaluated the performance of bonding and sealing treatments for b

Arizona’s current traffic crash data collection system including data for secondary crashes positioned the state to make significant advancement toward understanding the nature and impacts of those crashes. This study concentrated on identification of the benefits of effective Traffic Incident Management (TIM) practices on secondary crashes in term

Steel twin tub girder bridges are an aesthetically pleasing structural option offering long-span solutions in tight radii-direct connectors. However, these bridges require a routine two-year inspection frequency, as well as a thorough hands-on inspection, because of their fracture critical designation. The heightened inspection requirements for fra

Quickly deploying relief items is key to reducing a population’s burden in case of sudden onset disasters. Emergency response organizations, such as FEMA or local and state agencies hold a strategic stockpile of critical relief items and contract for contingency stock in preparation for emergencies. Their response capacity depends on their decision

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of AASHTO LRFD seismic detailing on Georgia bridges under various seismic hazards. Significant findings from this study are the following: 1. The analytical results show significant influences of lap-splice length, rebar size, and transverse reinforcement (TR) spacing on the ductility behavio

Transportation agencies are constantly seeking new methods for engineering, construction, and administration in order to improve project efficiency and quality. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) seeks to improve its administrative processes with new e-Construction initiatives, including electronic submission and distribution of all co

Asphalt base is widely used in Ohio. During calendar year 2015, approximately 138,000 yd3 (105,500 m3) of Item 301 Asphalt Base and approximately 531,000 yd3 (406,000 m3) of Item 302 Asphalt Base were placed for ODOT by contract [ODOT, 2015]. Acceptance of asphalt base material, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Construction and Material Spe

This document is the Final Report that describes the process and results of integrating various regional transportation data into the EcoTrafiX ATMS platform deployment in the Buffalo/Niagara region to facilitate the coordination of operational activities and events in the region and serve as a potential future platform for Integrated Corridor Mana
...
This context outlines the state’s rail history and places its basic physical infrastructure within the context of National Register of Historic Places eligibility, critical for GDOT’s compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (36 CFR 800). As such, this document includes a narrative history of rail development in

Safe, efficient and user-friendly transportation of people and goods have been a premier point of concern for all the developed and the developing countries around the globe. National Highway N-5 or GT road is the most important highway link in Pakistan. It carries about 80 % of the country freight traffic. When this heavy traffic passes through th

The Florida Department of Transportation yearly maintenance and rehabilitation activities include milling and resurfacing of approximately 2,000 lane miles of roadway, with an average resurfacing depth of about 2.1 inches (55 mm). These activities result in the generation and accumulation of roughly 1.8 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement (R
...
The GreenSTEP family of tools including the Regional Strategic Planning Model (RSPM), has been used in performance-based planning at the state and region level in Oregon and elsewhere. While the current implementation has a sufficient model of household vehicle miles traveled (VMT), it lacks in the representation of non-auto modes, and especially h

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate Numina’s ability to accurately detect, track, and count pedestrians and cyclists under varying conditions (weather, time of day, density, etc.). The researchers anticipate that the results will lay the foundation for the development of a more robust automated system that will replace manual countin

The Texas Department of Transportation is increasing its efforts to improve rural highway curve safety by including high-friction surface treatments in the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). A handful of efforts are underway in the state to install these treatments or others that are intended to improve safety by increasing pavement skid re

Concrete is certainly one of the most widely used construction materials. Extensive studies aimed at improving concrete’s strength and durability have identified a number of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that can improve the performance of concrete. In Florida, the most common SCM is Class F fly ash, produced by the burning of certain
