This report contains selected information on toll facilities in the United States that has been provided to FHWA by the States and/or various toll authorities regarding toll facilities in operation, financed, or under construction as of January 1, 2017. The report is based on voluntary responses received biennially. Differences and inconsistencies

MDOT has developed four ready-to-use bridge designs to assist counties, cities and villages that face expensive bridge replacement projects. Local agencies and their consultants are being encouraged to review the design guides and templates for the four bridge types, consider life-cycle costs and long-term service projections of the designs, and ta

The objective of this research was to utilize historical and archived crash data, maintained by TDOT, to closely analyze crash patterns in work zones, while considering crash, roadway geometry, environmental and several other characteristics and develop performance metrics for the work zones in Tennessee. The factors have important implications for
...
This project developed a two-stage modeling framework for analyzing residential and work location choices with probabilistic choice sets. In the first stage, a household (or a worker) was assumed to select a neighborhood (such as central business district, urban, suburban etc.) to live (or work). In the second stage, the household (or worker) was a

This report presents the implementation of new design method developed using mechanistic-empirical design approach by University of California Pavement Research Center (UCPRC) through building two test sections at California State University Long Beach (CSULB). The study includes a literature review, pavement design procedure, mix design, construct

MnDOT and local transportation agencies in Minnesota are considering the use of a high friction surface treatment (HFST) as a safety strategy. HFST is used as a spot pavement surfacing treatment in locations with high friction demand (for example, crash-prone areas such as curves). Using a polish-resistant aggregate that is bonded to the pavement s

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) provides an intermediate step toward a longer-term vision of trucks operating in closely-coupled automated platoons. One distinction between CACC and automated truck platooning is with CACC, only truck speed control will be automated using Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication. The drivers will still be respons

This digest provides a compendium of State laws that address driving under the influence of drugs (DUI-D). It covers all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. It is designed to be an accessible yet comprehensive reference for DUI-D offenses. Three summary charts of State laws are included on basic drugged driving provisions, provisi

Bridge condition evaluation to support condition rating, asset management, and post-event response and resiliency efforts is an active and robust area of research. Vibration-based methods are being developed and tested by many research teams with an end product similar to that in this study: an easily deployed, accurate, and economical system to de
...
The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) rating engineer is sometimes asked by field personnel to make quick decisions regarding pile capacity and stability when scour is identified around bridge pile bents. A numerical evaluation program was developed and implemented to offer a user-friendly assessment tool that can be used to quickly evaluate

DOI: https://doi.org/10.13023/KTC.RR.2018.03State transportation agencies (STAs) have increasingly turned to practical design and performance based practical design(PBPD) to inform project development and implementation — and to reduce project costs while optimizing systemwide benefits. PBPD is a design-up philosophy that encourages agencies to for

The State Highway 9 (SH 9) Colorado River South Wildlife and Safety Improvement Project in Grand County was designed by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and partners to improve motorist safety by reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC) while providing opportunities for wildlife to move beneath and above SH 9 through wildlife cros

Evidence from the early market for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) indicates fewer were being purchased (or leased) by women than would be expected based on women’s participation in all new vehicle transactions. The ratio of male-to-female applicants for California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate (CVR) averaged approximately three males for every female fr

This study supports TDOT’s evaluation of existing HOV lanes as travel-time incentives for promoting carpooling and reducing congestion. While the overall person-moving capacity of the HOV lanes may be slightly higher than the general-purpose lanes, the travel–time incentives for legitimate HOV lanes users have been severely diminished by violators
...
Automated vehicle technology is advancing rapidly, from concept to test vehicles on the streets of American cities. Some of the underlying technologies that enable automation, such as Bluetooth communications and GPS, are already available in many car models, but true connected vehicles (CVs) will use additional technologies to communicate with oth

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sponsored a project, conducted by the Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI), to identify and evaluate 220 MHz radio filter technologies that are capable of meeting requirements developed for mitigation of 220 MHz Positive Train Control (PTC) radio desense for locomotives operating on and around the

Transportation inefficiencies cost money, reduce safety, increase pollution-causing emissions, and take time away from people’s lives. The solution is not always to build more roads, create parking spaces, or add more bus routes. Sometimes, the better solution is to do more with the infrastructure we already have, and for that, you need information
...
Federal and state transportation laws form the foundation of domestic transportation policies. However, as currently drafted federal laws are not sufficiently developed to support a megaregion transportation regime and will require a formalized approach to be created so that MPOs and DOTs can scale efforts beyond traditional boundaries. This projec

Friction loss is one of the most critical issues faced by agencies responsible for preserving a pavement structure. There are various methods used for surface treatments including seal coats, slurry seals, and ultra thin asphalt concrete overlays. Ultra thin overlays have increased in popularity due to their lack of noise and improved ride quality,
...
This research project explored technologies and developed procedures for engaging in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and monitoring of the tunnels that CDOT manages and operates. This was done through this Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) project. The project occurred from 2015-2018. This project investigated and recommended high-speed non-
