The Grand Forks East Grand Forks MPO's (The Forks MPO) Travel Demand Model (TDM) is updated every five years to reflect new ground truths/data and the advancements in the state-of-the-art in transportation modeling techniques and methods. The current update reflects the base year 2021 data. The model...
The Fargo-Moorhead (F-M) Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture Update was prepared under the F-M Metropolitan Council of Governments (Metro COG) leadership. The architecture was first developed in 2005, and since then, it has been updated three times in 2007, 2014, and 2022....
The Bismarck-Mandan Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture was prepared under the Bismarck-Mandan Metropolitan Planning Organization (Bis-Man MPO) leadership. The architecture was first developed in 2005, and since then, it has been updated three times in 2008, 2013, and 2021....
The statewide ITS architecture of Montana DOT was initially developed in 2005. The main ITS goal areas for the state include enhanced traveler safety, coordinated maintenance and construction activities, effective traffic and transit management, coordinated incident management, enhanced commercial vehicle...
This project covers the development of Accessibility measures for the State of North Dakota at the county level and for the three North Dakota Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs). It explains the procedures, constraints and considerations for the use of the model as an evaluation tool to measure...
This document summarizes the results of the regional Intelligent Transportation architecture development for the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Area. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the...
When designing transportation infrastructure, stormflow hydrographs are commonly estimated using synthetic unit hydrograph (UH) methods, particularly for ungauged basins. Current synthetic UHs either consider very limited aspects of basin geometry or require explicit representation of the basin flow...
The Bismarck Mandan Travel Demand Model (TDM) is updated every five years to reflect new ground truths/data and the advancements in the state-of-the-art in transportation modeling techniques and methods. The current update reflects base year 2015 data. The model is a four-step TDM including trip generations...
Highway project selection and scheduling are traditionally treated as two separate problems in the literature. It is critical to investigate how to select and schedule M&R projects in a way that can maximize their benefit or effectiveness while minimizing the traffic impacts of work zones across project...
