Filter by Keyword220 report(s) found with traffic in the keywords field This report is the response to the North Dakota Legislature's request for a study of the transportation infrastructure needs of all counties, townships and tribes in the state. In 2019, the North Dakota Legislature advanced HB 1066 which had a provision for funding distributions to non-oil producing... During area-wide episodes of poor air quality, people may reduce their transportation-related emissions by driving less, reducing their exposure to emissions by walking/bicycling less, or going about their lives as usual. These three reactions have different consequences for transportation, health, and... Public education and outreach activities increase the effectiveness of work law enforcement does to prevent large truck-involved crashes. This demonstration project was conducted through two components including a primary education program and a complimentary education program designed to be executed... An efficient and safe transportation system is essential to communities during the long-term recovery period after earthquakes. A disrupted transportation network due to infrastructure damage or failure affects the functionality of the traffic system and poses increased traffic safety risks. A rational... Transportation planning, traffic monitoring, and traffic safety analysis require detailed information about pedestrian volumes, but such data are usually lacking. Fortunately, recent research has demonstrated the accuracy of pedestrian volumes estimated from push-button data contained within high-resolution... 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 The City of Bismarck relies on targeted short counts, which is the predominant, albeit outdated, type of intersection traffic data collection.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... Understanding ramp queue length and queuing time is important for transportation agencies to manage and operate the ramps with optimum performance. Since these data are collected with conventional sensor systems such as coils, they are prone to error, especially during traffic congestion. The increased... Annually, many injuries and fatal crashes happen on local rural roads in North Dakota. The local road safety program (LRSP) strategy has been proven effective in reducing crashes on these roads. It relies on state engagement with local stakeholders to collectively reduce crash injuries in their communities.... Mitigating congestion at urban traffic system intersections following major hazards and incidents is a crucial step to maximize the evacuation, rescue and recovery efficiency and prevent a hazard from turning into a disaster. An optimized traffic signal design strategy can effectively contribute to maintaining... The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) needs to respond quickly and adapt to the coronavirus (COVID-19) to ensure continuation of critical infrastructure support and relief for the American people. Since early March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impact on traffic across the United... |
