Filter by Keyword209 report(s) found with traffic in the keywords field This report develops a baseline inventory of rail hazardous commodities that originate in, terminate in, or pass through Region 8 (which includes the states of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming). The inventory also includes a set of interregional tables that summarize hazardous... Transportation fulfills three major roles in a developed economy. First, it is an enabler that allows an economy to develop. Second, it is a facilitator of competition for producers throughout broad area. And finally, transportation is a component of the Gross National Product. The motor carrier industry... This paper discusses the origin and uses of the Global Positioning System, analyzes its potential uses in the development of the Intelligent Transportation System, and discusses a small case study performed in the Fargo-Moorhead area using a low-end GPS unit. A Regional Traffic Safety Center survey was conducted to ascertain the demand for highway safety training in North Dakota. For many organizations, this training has been mandated through government regulations. To comply with these regulations, organizations could provide training to their members either... The primary objective of this research was to establish statistically valid mathematical models that can explain the variations in accidents as a function of geometric variables. Engineers and planners will be able to use these models to examine the sensitivity of accident rates to any of the independent... This paper examines the effectiveness of applying chip seal friction courses in reducing accidents on low volume, rural roads. Chip sealing data from District 3 of the Utah Department of Transportation were used to examine accident rates before and after applying chip seal. Although accident rates generally... In this research, criteria were developed for designating and evaluating scenic loop tours based on roadway conditions, scenic beauty, number of local communities, population, and anchor attractions. Two existing scenic loop tours in Wyoming -- the Cheyenne and Oregon Trail Loop Tour and the Bighorns... The information needed to plan and operate transit services for people with disabilities is little known to transit agencies and also difficult to obtain. This report is based on a study that was undertaken to determine the travel patterns and transportation needs of people with disabilities, and also... A research study was conducted to investigate the potential application of Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems (IVHS) technologies for reducing accidents on rural roads. After studying existing technologies, their present application to transportation, and approaches to identifying predominant accident... The purpose of this project is to validate and implement computer-based statistical methods for the optimal placement of Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATR) on road sections to improve the overall efficiency and accuracy of Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) estimates. We developed two computer algorithims... |
