Filter by Keyword12 report(s) found with applications in the keywords field Transportation asset management requires timely information collection to inform relevant maintenance practices. Traditional data collection methods often necessitate manual operation or the use of specialized equipment, e.g., light detection and ranging (LiDAR), which can be labor-intensive and costly... Reliable intersection-traffic data are essential for transportation planning, operations, and safety. The City of Bismarck relies on targeted short counts, which is the predominant, albeit outdated, type of intersection traffic data collection. The city recently updated its signalized intersection equipment... The transportation sector in the United States is currently dealing with several challenges, such as greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollution emission increases, parking facility costs, congestion, and energy consumption. The present report focuses on the development of an innovative multi-business commute... The current study examined a new mobile app for the measurement of fatigue and alertness in the workplace, the AlertMeter. Seventeen participants experienced 36-hour sleep deprivation and were measured every two hours. Sixteen of the 17 participants were able to stay awake the entire study. No adverse... Federal track safety regulations require railroads to inspect all tracks in operation as often as twice weekly.

The Grand Forks – East Grand Forks MPO contacted ATAC with regards to extending the use of existing traffic detection cameras for traffic data collection and archival. The City of Grand Forks currently has approx. 43 intersections where Autoscope cameras are being used for traffic signal actuation... ATAC was contacted by the Grand Forks - East Grand Forks MPO with regards to using the existing traffic detection cameras for traffic data collection and archival. Thirty sample intersections were setup for data collection and monitored by ATAC staff. Detectors, detector stations, and detector functions... This research considers the influence of different construction materials on the dynamic impact factor of bridges. The general concept of the dynamic impact factor and typical evaluation methods are reviewed. In 1995, the Mountain-Plains Consortium in the U.S. initiated TEL8. TEL8 is a satellite-based telecommunications system that serves ten sites in Federal Highway Administration's Region 8. This paper presents the attributes of TEL8 to demonstrate the roles for distance learning in a changing world. The... |
