The Bismarck-Mandan Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture was developed under the guidance of the Bismarck-Mandan Metropolitan Planning Organization (Bis-Man MPO). Initially created in 2005, this architecture has undergone four updates in 2008, 2013, 2021, and 2025. Its primary...
The objective of this report is to provide a benchmark for elevator managers in assessing performance and supply a source for recognizing trends in the characteristics of North Dakota elevators. This report and the statistics mailed to individual elevators are presented as a source of information for...
This report represents a continuation of analysis concerned with the patterns and methods of distributing grains and oilseeds from North Dakota. This series began with the analysis of 1956-57 data and was published in Agricultural Economics Reports 15, 17, 44, 56, and 86 and Agricultural Experiment Station...
The first objective of this project was to evaluate the literature to gain a better understanding of the safety implications of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations by deaf and hard of hearing drivers. The second objective was to identify and document procedures and recommendations that can be safely...
This document summarizes results of the regional intelligent transportation architecture development for the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks area. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refers to integrated sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics applications to enhance transportation...
There is increasing awareness among transportation professionals about the importance of incorporating social equity into their practices. While the transit sector has made notable progress, other areas, such as asset management, are still lagging in integrating social equity into decision making. This...
This research project’s objective was to investigate the impacts of transit stop location (near-side versus far-side) on pedestrian safety and traffic operations at intersections. Three different video-based behavioral observation data collections at signals in Utah were utilized and studied: (1) transit...
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...
Two-lane highways comprise a considerable percentage of the nation's roads. A critical component required in the design of two-lane highways is the passing sight distance (PSD). In cases where it is inadequate, no-passing zones are established. There are multiple techniques employed for measuring the...
This study evaluated connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) crash reporting practices across the United States, emphasizing the importance of standardized reporting and legislation for the safe deployment of CAVs on public roads. Through a survey of state transportation officials and a review of current...
