Abstract:This report summarizes the work performed during the second phase of a two-phase
research project. The first phase focused on two main areas: freight safety and wind
vulnerability, and the identification of critical infrastructure. Phase I also tackled another
major but less defined task in bringing together information from numerous sources to
provide agencies in Wyoming with a general understanding of freight movement in the
state. The results from the first phase can be found in the report entitled “Wyoming
Freight Movement and Wind Vulnerability,” published by the Mountain-Plains
Consortium (Young et al. 2005).
The objectives of the second phase were to continue the efforts on freight safety with
respect to high wind conditions and to propose a system utilizing intelligent
transportation system technology to mitigate high wind hazards. These two tasks are
summarized in Section 2, High Wind Freight Crashes in Wyoming, and Section 3, Use of
ITS for Operation of Roadway Segments in High Wind Conditions.
