Research at South Dakota State University is leading to improved compaction of roadway base materials, resulting in time savings, safer testing procedures, and longer-lasting pavements.
University of Wyoming researchers used advanced statistical modeling, machine learning, data mining applications, safety data visualizations, high-fidelity driving simulator experiments, and traffic microsimulation modeling to evaluate CV technologies. Their work is a crucial first step in identifying the issues associated with integrating CV technology into roadway operational strategies.
This issue of the newsletter will cover screening/assessment and some of the monitoring tools available to judges to ensure compliance with supervision conditions and to ensure community safety. Also, inside this issue of the newsletter are the most recent North Dakota crash statistics along with the case law and resource/training sections. Finally, the wellness corner has a couple of new suggestions from readers that can help maintain and/or enhance your well-being.
Research at the University of Wyoming leveraged easily accessible data from roadside cameras to develop an affordable automatic road weather and surface condition detection system. The project’s results will help enhance the Advanced Traveler Information System by improving the identification of weather conditions using existing WYDOT infrastructure.
