Anti-icing/road Weather Information System (ai-rwis) - FCD AI
(Free Publication) - Free for The National Association of County Engineer (NACE) and $100 for other agencies. As part of a pooled fund project, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) developed a comprehensive training program for organizations that deal with snow and ice as part of their winter maintenance program. This program was developed to assist the transportation community to understand and use the information that is provided from a Road Weather Information System, using this information to determine which of the tools (anti-icing, de-icing, plowing) to use to provide the best approach to winter maintenance. This program contains seven modules with the final module being a scenario room where the student can take the information that has been learned to solve true winter problems. This program can be used as a self paced training program that requires the student to log onto the program, which then allows the student to start the program and jump in and out of the program as the student has time for the course. The program will restart the program where the student has left off. This program can also be used as an instructor-led course by attaching a laptop to a projection unit and walking a group of students through the course. The National Association of County Engineers (NACE) bought into the pooled fund program, working out an agreement with AASHTO that will allow LTAP/TTAP Centers to receive a copy of this program. This agreement will allow the LTAP/TTAP Center to make copies of this program to be placed into their libraries to be loaned to local organizations and to provide copies of this program to NACE members. It also allows the Centers to provide copies to non-NACE members with a licensing cost of $100.00 that will need to paid to AASHTO for each copy that is provided.

Benefits And Costs Of Full Operations And Its Deployment - A 2003 Simulation For Seattle - F50 BCO
(Free Publication) - People who live in urban areas nationwide report that traffic congestion is one of their greatest quality-of-life concerns. When the demand for travel in a region exceeds the available capacity of the transportation system, residents suffer from excessive travel times, increased crash risks, diminished air quality, and other negative impacts. State and local transportation agencies have found it difficult to increase the transportation system supply rapidly enough to keep pace with the growing demand. Transportation agencies are further challenged by the time required to design and construct these traditional infrastructure improvements. In response to this dilemma, transportation agencies have increasingly turned to improved operational strategies and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in order to squeeze more operational efficiency out of the existing transportation system.

Making Intersections Safer: A Toolbox Of Engineering Countermeasures To Reduce Red-light Running - F50 MIS
(Free Publication) - One of the primary causes of crashes at signalized intersections involves a vehicle entering an intersection when the red signal is displayed. This type of collision occurs frequently. According to preliminary estimates by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for 2001, the most recent year for which statistics are available, there were nearly 218,000 red-light running crashes at intersections. These crashes resulted in as many as 181,000 injuries and 880 fatalities, and an economic loss estimated at $14 billion per year. Clearly, red-light running, which is reported to be on the rise as with other aggressive driving behaviors such as speeding, tailgating and not stopping or even slowing at stop-controlled intersections, has become a national safety problem. Red-light running is also a complex problem. There is no simple or single reason to explain why drivers run red lights. As will be presented in this report, redlight runners are more likely to be younger than 30-years old, have a record of moving violations, are driving without a valid license and/or have consumed alcohol. There is also evidence that drivers may be induced into running red lights because of improper signal design or operation. These elements make red-light running difficult to predict and a difficult problem to solve. This report is intended for several types of readers. Engineers trained in the design and operation of signalized intersections should already be cognizant of the engineering measures discussed. Still, they can benefit from being reminded of good engineering practice with the provision of a single information source focused on this topic. Law enforcement officials should become more sensitized to the various engineering features that affect red-light running and be supportive of their implementation prior to taking aggressive enforcement measures. Other officials who feel that aggressive enforcement measures, (including automated systems) should be implemented on a large scale basis will be made aware that engineering measures have the potential to reduce red-light running, which may address the resulting safety problem more adequately and equitably.

Measuring In Situ Mechanical Properties Of Pavement Subgrade Soils - F24 MIS
(Free Publication) - This synthesis report will be of interest to pavement and geotechnical design and research engineers, geologists and engineering geologists, and related laboratory personnel. It describes the current practice for measuring in situ mechanical properties of pavement subgrade soils. The tests conducted to measure the mechanical properties of soil strength and stiffness are the primary topics, and these are discussed in the context of design procedures, factors affecting mechanical properties, and the variability of measurements. Information for the synthesis was collected by surveying U.S., Canadian, and selected European transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search. This TRB report provides information on existing and emerging technologies for static and dynamic, and destructive and nondestructive testing for measuring in situ mechanical properties of pavement subgrade soils. Correlations between in situ and laboratory tests are presented. The effects of existing layers on the measurement of subgrade properties, and soil spatial and seasonal variability are discussed. Most importantly, the use of soil properties in pavement design and evaluation are explained. New applications or improvements to existing test methods to support the use of mechanistic/stochastic-based pavement design procedures are also explained.

This report will be of interest to the Department of Transportation (DOT) construction, design, and project engineers, and to those responsible for community relations. This report of the Transportation Research Board stresses the importance of informing project neighbors and establishing cooperative relations with the community as a first measure of successful mitigation. Examples show how project design can address construction nuisances by locating and sequencing construction operations to minimize their impact. Current practices used in source control, path control, and receptor control are described and documented in examples from the Boston Central Artery/Tunnel project and projects in Arizona and Salt Lake City, Utah. Appended materials provide sample specifications for mitigation of noise and dust control.

Terrorist Activity Recognition And Reaction - F5 TARAR
(Free Publication) - Terrorist activity can be divided into two categories: suspicious activity that is usually associated with pre-attack or planning activities, and dangerous activity that is usually associated with an imminent threat to life and property. You can help prevent terrorist attacks by recognizing and reporting suspicious activity and reacting to it in a safe and timely manner. This guide provides you with a reference tool to increase your awareness of terrorist activity, and enhance your ability to react appropriately. In no way is this guide intended to suggest that you are expected to assume the role or responsibilities of a security or police officer. Suspicious activity is characterized by a combination of actions, that appear strange, inconsistent, or out-of-the ordinary for your work environment. Before an act, terrorists may use a variety of ACTIVITIES to find out more about their target, to test its security procedures, and to plan their attack.
