The Effect of Environmental Factors on the Implementation of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (Jul 2011, MPC-10-225B)
Current pavement design based on the AASHTO Design Guide uses an empirical approach from the results of the AASHO Road Test conducted in 1958. To address some of the limitations of the original design guide, AASHTO developed a new guide: Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). This guide...
Determining Surface Street LOS Using Existing Detector Infrastructure: Monitoring Commuter Congestion on Surface Streets in the Salt Lake Valley (Aug 2002, MPC-02-133)
This research focuses on real-time congestion monitoring, a unique direction, as most other cities focus solely on freeway operations as they are easier to monitor. Once surface street congestion is monitored successfully, recurring problematic locations can be identified, and solutions can be developed...
