The overall objective of this research is the development of a new approach for evaluating bridge scour for New Jersey's bridges on non-tidal waterways. The study commenced with a web-based survey of scour practice within the U.S. and a literature review of predictive scour models. The major project deliverable is a new Scour Evaluation Model (SEM)
...
Despite having an extensive network of public transit, traffic congestion and transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are significant concerns in New Jersey. This research hypothesizes that traffic congestion and air quality concerns in the state would be much greater in the absence of public transit. With this hypothesis, the study e

Large scale public investment initiatives are always subject to tremendous scrutiny and are looked at through the prism of multiple stakeholders and constituents. It is thus imperative to ensure a level of transparency when it comes to the decision making process associated with project selection, prioritization, and ranking. This report reviews th

The primary objective of this project is to develop multiple simulation testbeds/transportation models to evaluate the impacts of Dynamic Mobility Application (DMA) connected vehicle applications and Active Transportation and Dynamic management (ATDM) strategies. While the project aims at evaluating both DMA applications and ATDM strategies, the pr

The construction of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlay or multiple lifts involves spraying tack coat onto the existing surface to obtain a good bond and to ensure that the multiple pavement layers behave monolithically. Insufficient tack coat application has been linked to premature cracking failure. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) regula

This report documents the findings of Planning Study 27, Collection and Analysis of 2013-2014 Travel Time Data, which is a continuation of Planning Study 24, Analysis of Historical Travel Time Data. The main scope is to analyze newly acquired link-referenced speed data on Kentucky roads from 2013 and 2014. Travel time-based performance measures dev

Chlorides, in sufficient concentrations, will cause corrosion of steel reinforcement in bridge decks. Previous studies have shown that de-icing chemicals and practices used by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) can result in problematic levels of chloride at steel reinforcing depths in a relatively short amount of time. With the advent of l

This report contains the information and background on top-down cost estimating using artificial neural networks (ANN)_to enhance the accuracy of MDT early estimates of construction costs. Upon conducting an extensive review of MDT’s budgeting and cost estimating efforts, and following a survey of agency experts on the identification of the most sa

This report presents the recommendations for coastal bridges potentially vulnerable to hurricane events for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). The main goal of this research was to evaluate potential hurricane hazard to coastal bridges from wave forces. It has been observed during past hurricanes that bridges located in the coastal en

It is recognized nationwide that commercial motor vehicle operators are often unable to find safe andadequate parking to meet hours-of-service (HOS) regulations. This holds true in Oregon, where highusecorridor rest areas and truck stops are experiencing a demand for truck parking that exceedscapacity. With such a demand for truck parking, there is

Crashes of heavy trucks with bridge columns are random events with low probability of occurrence. In spite of the low odds, previous collision events have resulted in catastrophic partial or full collapse of bridges. AASHTO-LRFD Bridge Design Specifications requires bridge columns to be designed for collision loads to prevent bridge collapse under

This work addresses an important research topic of freight modeling by analyzing the freight patterns, in terms of freight generation and logistics sprawl, of warehouses and distribution centers in Southern California. Specifically, this work analyzes the concentration of Warehouses and Distribution Centers (W&DC) (NAICS 493) in five counties in So

This report reviews the programs and policies of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT)'s project selection and evaluation process to fund new capital-intensive projects in the transportation sector. The Federal formula programs administered and overseen by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are the basis for this review. Within
