This book was released on 1992 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the development of a methodology for determining an end-result smoothness specification for use on newly constructed flexible and rigid pavements. Details of the experimental study and data analysis undertaken to define acceptance levels using several criteria are presented, along with necessary guide-lines that can be used for the training of personnel involved in the implementation of the smoothness specifications. Finally, the report correlates profile index with other roughness indices.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This design guide has been developed for the purpose of helping to achieve the following transportation systems management (TSM) goals: To maximize the person-moving capacity of roadway facilities by providing improved operating level of service for high occupancy vehicles (HOVs), both public and private; To conserve fuel and to minimize consumption of other resources needed for transportation; To improve air quality; and To increase overall accessibility while reducing vehicular congestion. Part I deals with HOV options in terms of planning and operations; Part II deals with design criteria for HOV options on freeways; and Part III deals with design criteria for HOV options on surface arterial streets.

Download or read book Roadside Revegetation written by David E. Steinfeld and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native plants are a foundation of ecological function, affecting soil conservation, wildlife habitat, plant communities, invasive species, and water quality. Establishing locally-adapted, self-sustaining plant communities can also support transportation goals for safety and efficiency. Past obstacles to establishing native plant communities on roadsides have been technical, informational, and organizational. Effective strategies and practical techniques for revegetating the disturbed conditions with limited resources must be made available to practitioners. Multiple disciplines, ranging from engineering to soil science, ecology, botany, and wildlife science, must be able to work cooperatively, not in isolation. This report offers an integrated approach to facilitate the successful establishment of native plants along roadsides and other areas of disturbance associated with road modifications. It guides readers through a comprehensive process of: 1) initiating, 2) planning, 3) implementing, and 4) monitoring a roadside revegetating project with native plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research study was to assess and address the implications of the axle load spectra approach proposed by the M-E Design Guide. In addition, recommendations were developed regarding traffic data needs and availability to aid in deciding the installation locations of future WIM stations in Texas. A methodology for specifying the required accuracy of WIM equipment based on the effect that this accuracy has on pavement performance prediction was also developed. Regarding traffic volume forecasting, a methodology is presented that allows optimum use of available data by simultaneously estimating traffic growth and seasonal traffic variability.
