Download or read book Implementation of Highway Advisory Radio HAR for Construction Zones in Louisiana written by Paul Brian Wolshon and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The project involved the installation of Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) transmitters in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles. The transmitter sites were located at key entry points to each metropolitan area. At the conclusion of the project all seven of the transmitter units were fully broadcast capable. They were, however, somewhat limited in terms of timeliness of broadcast information due to the lack of real-time traffic data and manpower limitations required to operate the system. The project included a review of literature and practices related to the development and application of HAR systems in the United States to address the applicability of existing commercially available HAR systems as well as the specific planning, placement, and operational requirements necessary to implement an effective HAR system.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Cost Benefits of Continuous Pavement Preservation Design Strategies Versus Reconstruction written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued preservation of ADOT's pavements becomes an ever- increasing issue as non-renewable resources such as mineral aggregate become more and more difficult to obtain. Historically, ADOT's design philosophies have resulted in strategies that consist primarily of mill and fill and overlay. These pavement strategies are designed for approximately a ten year life, at which time, another similar treatment would be performed. Proper design philosophies evaluate life cycle costs to select the best available design option. However, the life cycle cost consists of both the construction cost and the user cost incurred by the public through delay, etc. While construction costs are easily defined, user costs are very difficult to quantify and often times may actually exceed the actual cost of the facility being constructed. Since the user costs are not directly borne by the agency, it becomes somewhat of a philosophical discussion as to what user costs should be considered. In recent times, mineral aggregate sources have become increasingly more difficult to obtain in Arizona. However, our current design philosophies and economics requires needing new materials approximately every ten years. There is a need to consider reconstruction of significant roadways so that they can obtain design lives, perhaps as many as thirty to forty years before rehabilitation or reconstruction.

Download or read book Work Zone Operations Best Practices Guidebook written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Work Zone Best Practices Guidebook provides an easily accessible compilation of work zone operations practices used and recommended by various States and localities around the country. The Guidebook is a reference document that can be updated with new approaches, technologies, and practices for effectively managing work zones and reducing the impacts of work zones on mobility and safety as they are identified. The best practices are descriptive, not prescriptive. They describe approaches that have been successfully used by transportation agencies, along with contact information to find out more from the agency using the practice. Each organization must determine which of these practices are best suited for its particular situation, considering all the site-specific factors that affect work zone operations.
