This research designed and tested a new portable concrete barrier that meets the performance of MASH TL-4 and can be used in temporary and permanent applications on bridge decks. Additionally, this new barrier system will minimize deflection, allowing placement of the barrier system as close to the edge of the deck system without compromising barri

This dataset contains metadata and data collected during TxDOT Project 0-6863 on development of standards for precast, pretensioned concrete bent caps. Phase 1 tests are contained in this dataset. Phase 1 consisted of four specimens: 1. RCS-16-12: A solid reinforced concrete bent cap with 16 longitudinal rebar and 12" spacing of shear reinforcement

Zero emission hydrogen fuel cell technology has the potential to drastically reduce total “well-to-waves” maritime emissions. Through realistic design studies of five commercially-relevant passenger vessels, this study examines the most cost-effective entry points in the US fleet for deploying today’s available technology, and includes analysis of

This study evaluated the effect of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) on virgin binder true grade and fracture energy density (FED). A mortar approach, which avoids the need for binder extraction, was adopted to quantify the RAP/RAS effect on virgin binder true grades by using the grade change rate (GCR) parameter.

Frictional properties of pavement surface materials on roadway shoulders and highway ramps are of concern to state and county pavement engineers. Currently, the frictional properties of pavement surfaces are obtained via testing with a locked‐wheel skid trailer. Operational limitations prohibit the use of a locked‐wheel skid trailer on roadway shou

Home delivery by drones as an alternative or complement to traditional delivery by trucks is attracting considerable attention from major retailers and services, as well as startups. While drone delivery may offer considerable economic savings, the fundamental issues of how best to deploy drones for home delivery are not well understood. Our resear

This project included measurements of strength properties, soil properties, and chemical content of natural and chemically stabilized subgrade soil from five projects across Ohio, three from sites that have historically had high sulfate content, and two that have not. The objective was to compare the properties of the soils from the sites and deter

Previous studies have demonstrated that young drivers fail to both scan for and mitigate latent hazards, mostly due to their cluelessness. This study investigated whether these skills could be improved by providing young drivers with alerts in advance of an upcoming threat using a driving simulator experiment. A warning was presented on head-up dis

The purpose of this research project was to identify the extent that concrete resistivity measurements (bulk and/or surface) can be used as a performance based lab test to improve the quality of concrete in Utah bridge decks. By allowing UDOT to specify a required resistivity, concrete bridge deck quality will increase and future maintenance costs

With annual gross domestic product (GDP) of more than 2.4 trillion dollars, the State of California plays a major role in the nation’s economic growth and international trade. It is the largest state economy in the US and accounts for about 14% of US GDP. Tons of goods are moved into California every day through its busy seaports, airports and bord

Safety concern is one of the core issues that deter people from bicycling in the US. Earlier studies have explored the associations between intersection design characteristics and bicyclist safety perceptions. Research shows that there are significant links between bicycling choice, safety perceptions, bicycling experience levels and socio-demograp

Ubiquitous connected devices and microblogging platforms, such as Twitter, are providing a huge amount user-generated information that has a great potential for applications in transportation incident management (TIM) with minimal infrastructure required. In this study publicly posted Twitter posts were gathered using relevant keywords. While organ

This report presents results from shaking table tests on half-scale mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) bridge abutments. The testing program consists of five tests where the direction of shaking is in the longitudinal direction of the bridge beam, and one test where the direction of shaking is perpendicular to the bridge beam. The longitudinal sha

Over the past decade, the agency has undertaken multiple efforts to better understand the various components that contribute to safety for vulnerable road users. One major destination type that attracts a large number of pedestrians and cyclists is transit stations. In fact, all transit riders are pedestrians at some point along their journey, maki

Transportation data is the foundation for informed policy decision making. Transportation data is collected and managed as an asset. These data provide insight into many different aspects of the transportation system, including: 1. Transportation system assets and their physical condition. 2. Safety, system operation, and performance. 3. Travel beh

The New England Transportation Consortium (NETC) is a cooperative effort of the transportation agencies of the six New England States, the six New England state land grant universities and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Through the Consortium, the states pool professional, academic and financial resources for transportation research lea

The objectives of this project were to provide a strategic analysis for the design of hybrid truck-drone delivery systems using continuous approximation modeling techniques and to derive general insights into the viability of using drones for home and business delivery as an alternative or complement to traditional truck-only delivery.
California has been a leader in adopting policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, for too long, businesses have been warning of key routes that are stretched to the breaking point. In many places across California, it takes only a single incident to cause chaos - for instance, a car accident across the intersection of I-5, I-10, and
