• 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.
