Abstract:This report is a compilation of research papers written by students participating in the 2010 Undergraduate
Transportation Scholars Program. The 10-week summer program, now in its 20th year, provides
undergraduate students in Civil Engineering the opportunity to learn about transportation engineering
through participating in sponsored transportation research projects. The program design allows students to
interact directly with a Texas A&M University faculty member or Texas Transportation Institute researcher
in developing a research proposal, conducting valid research, and documenting the research results through
oral presentations and research papers.
The papers in this compendium report on the following topics, respectively: 1) estimating carriers/truckers
value of time due to congestion; 2) evaluating retroreflectivity measurement techniques for profiled and
rumble stripe pavement markings; 3) analyzing retroreflectivity and color degradation in sign sheeting; 4)
evaluating the effectiveness of LED enhanced stop paddles for school crossing guard use; 5) incorporating
freight value into the Urban Mobility Report; 6) evaluating ASTM Standard Test Method E2177,
retroreflectivity of pavement markings in a condition of wetness; 7) calibrating pavement performance
prediction models; and 8) evaluating the effects of concrete curing compounds on hydration.
