Research at South Dakota State University to better understand stream flows will lead to improved designs for bridges, culverts, and other infrastructure elements that are subject to erosion and scour.
Researchers at the University of Utah have developed technology that can potentially conduct multi-lane roadway ice/snow coverage estimation, which is superior to the state-of-the-art single-spot measurements.
Researchers at the University of Utah are exploring local resonances, a form of ultrasonic vibration, to detect defects and thermal stress in railroad rails.
Researchers at Colorado State University developed and applied a methodology for performing a complete structural analysis of transportation infrastructure elements, moving from digital images, acquired from either hand-held cameras or uncrewed aircraft systems, through several image processing schemes into a finite element analysis of representative structures.
