Filter by Keyword12 report(s) found with state departments of transportation in the keywords field Over the last two decades many researchers have focused on providing new ideas and frameworks that can help improve conventional bridge inspection practices; however, little guidance is provided for implementing these new ideas in practice. This, along with resistance to change and complexity of the... Advances in electronics, wireless technologies, and mobile applications on smartphones have contributed to the tremendous growth of shared-use mobility (SUM) practices and Americans have embraced these new mobility options which are flexible, convenient, and affordable. Recognizing that technology enabled... The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) currently has a Finite-Element Surface-Water Modeling System for Two-Dimensional Flow (FESWMS-2DH) and Research Management Associates 2 (RMA2) Both programs have the capability to model two-dimensional (2D) flow around structures. The department must... This thesis presents a four-step framework that identifies the most important capabilities in a TSRS as preferred by a state DOT and then facilitates weighting of those capabilities via a well-established methodology, the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The thesis also presents the implementation of this... The Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute at North Dakota State University was asked to conduct a site review at each DOT. The purpose of the site reviews was to obtain information to identify training challenges facing the DOTs; identify common training needs; identify training resources available... This workforce assessment is only the first step in developing a strategic human capital plan for NDDOT. The external and internal forces affecting the availability of the future workforce have been documented for a specific period of time. NDDOT has begun to develop several programs including succession... The main objective of this research was to quantify the differences and similarities among Quality Control/ Quality Assurance (QC/QA) programs for three state highway agencies. By measuring these differences, conclusions were drawn as to which state was achieving the best results with their QC/QA program.... TEL8 is a video conference network in the north-central and mountain states dedicated to improving and enhancing transportation systems in the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) Region 8. Established in 1994, the video conference and telecommunications network created a partnership among the region's... The objective of this research is to develop a computer-based delivery system for one of Utah DOT's existing, traditional classroom training activities. The Flagging Recertification Training and Exam was selected by the UDOT Technical Advisory Committee. The research was divided into two phases: (1)... With rapid advancement in technology, it is becoming difficult for transportation professionals to keep pace over their career lifetimes. Continuing education programs are a way to help combat this problem. These programs are being pursued by departments of transportation and universities across the... |
