- Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver developed an analytical model that can be used to improve repair technique designs for concrete suffering from a common reaction between aggregate and Portland cement that can damage and weaken concrete over time. The researchers studied 120 concrete cylinders...
- MPC produces volumes of research that is critical to maintaining and improving the transportation systems of our region, the nation and the world. That research would not be possible without the efforts of our students who collect and analyze data, test new ideas and approaches, and help interpret results....
- Automated Image-Based Aircraft Tracking
Date: Wednesday, May 11, 2022 Time: 1:30-2:30 p.m. Central Time
Automated Image-Based Aircraft Tracking and Record-Keeping for Utah Airports considers that over 97% of U.S. airports are not equipped with control towers. As a result, these airports need an alternative...
- Researchers from the Mountain-Plains Consortium's eight collaborating universities were among the thousands of transportation administrators, practitioners, policy makers and researchers who came to Washington, DC, for the Transportation Research Board's 101st Annual Meeting, January 9-13. The meeting...
- Research at the University of Colorado Denver leverages developments in spatial data to advance the literature and improve the understanding of pedestrian infrastructure, city-wide sidewalk characteristics, and the fair distribution of sidewalks. Researchers derived usable GIS sidewalk data from aerial...
- Jimmy Kim, professor of civil engineering at the University of Colorado Denver, delivered a keynote speech during the 11th International Association of Chinese Infrastructure Professionals (IACIP) Workshop, virtually held on January 10 and 17, 2021. The presentation was titled 'Infrastructure Rehabilitation...
- Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver developed an innovative system that can identify commute solutions to reduce negative environmental impacts of business commuting. The Multi-Business Commute Optimization System (MBCOS) consists of three integrated components: a website (www.commuteopt.com)...
- Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver are studying the use of a sophisticated surveying and remote sensing technology to assess and improve streetscapes.
The researchers investigated methods to extract streetscape features with three different classes of light detection and ranging (LiDAR)...
- Australia may hold important lessons for improving road safety in the United States, according to MPC researchers at the University of Colorado Denver. Despite similarities to the United States in terms of transportation, land use, and culture, there are 5.3 deaths per 100,000 in population on Australian...
- MPC research at the University of Colorado Denver will improve the understanding of embedded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems for concrete bridge members, and will enhance the durability of strengthened concrete members and provide new techniques for bridge engineers who want to adopt state-of-the-art...
- Online mapping systems offer route guidance for travelers, but may also increase congestion as increasing volumes of traffic are routed to vital network corridors. Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver developed an enhanced approach with the objective of optimizing global road network utilization...
- Research at the University of Utah will help road managers choose the best road maintenance treatments to extend roadway life and minimize long-term maintenance costs. The researchers studied 14 thin lift treatments (TLTs) over a five-year period to assess their performance. TLTs are the application...
- Research at the University of Colorado Denver on reinforcing concrete members like bridge girders may lead to longer-lasting and safer bridges. The researchers developed an improved method for bonding carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) to structural concrete members to strengthen them. The method...
- Associate professor Caroline Clevenger has been named director of the construction engineering and management programs within the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado Denver. Clevenger, who has been with the program since its inception in 2014, is thrilled at how much the program...
- Child pedestrians deserve particular attention when considering traffic safety. This means identifying locations where child pedestrians are at particular risk as well as taking a more proactive safety approach to find out where their trips are being suppressed specifically due to road safety concerns.
Pedestrian...
- More trees and larger tree canopies in the "clear zone" near urban streets were associated with fewer injury/fatal crashes as well as fewer crashes overall in research conducted by MPC research at the University of Colorado Denver. That's contrary to 50 years of standard design practice which emphasized...
- Work shifts that place shortline railroad workers at risk for fatigue-related injuries as well as strategies for avoiding those injuries were identified in MPC research at the University of Denver. A sample of work schedules and sleep diaries were obtained from the shortline railroad industry and analyzed...
- MPC research at the University of Colorado Denver explores an optimization system designed to identify optimal trade-offs between two important transportation objectives of minimizing greenhouse gases and air pollution emissions and total travel time while meeting preferences and convenience of business...
- Although bicycling is considered to be ten times more dangerous than driving, the evidence continues to build that bike-friendly cities are not only safer for bicyclists but for all road users. This report looks to understand why this is the case.
Based on 13 years of data from 14 major U.S. cities...
