Book excerpt: This Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) implementation project involved the development of workshop material aimed at disseminating research findings and training participants in hands-on use of the MS Excel-based calculator [sustainability enhancement tool (SET)] through a series of workshops in Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. The specific project tasks were: Task 1 - Development of Draft Workshop Materials; Task 2 - Perform Workshop Walkthrough; Task 3 - Conduct Regional Workshops; Task 4 - Develop Final Workshop Materials; Task 5 - Update the Analysis Tool; Task 6 - Develop District-MPO-Local Agency Consortium Implementation Plan; and Task 7 - Develop Plan to Integrate into TxDOT Practice. The work done on these tasks is discussed in subsequent sections of this report. Chapter 2 describes the development of workshop materials, Chapter 3 summarizes the workshops conducted, Chapter 4 discusses local agency implementation and plans to integrate into TxDOT practice, and Chapter 5 provides the conclusion and future research. Overall, the research dealt with developing performance measures for sustainability at the highway corridor level.

Download or read book Promoting Smart Growth to Texas written by Brian S. Bochner and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart growth is planned growth that integrates land use and transportation to create urban development that conserves resources and improves quality of life while providing adequate mobility. This project initiated implementation of previous research findings through a series of workshops and through the development ofthis guideline report for Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) consideration. The guidelines in this report could facilitate TxDOT support of local smart growth programs where initiated by local agencies, and could help TxDOT support local smart growth initiatives through typical TxDOT projects or the enhanced TxDOT policies. The report explains how smart growth can be an asset to TxDOT, and relates how basic smart growth principles are consistent with TxDOT's goals under its Strategic Plan.

Download or read book Implementation Guide for Monitoring Work Zone Safety and Mobility Impacts written by Gerald L. Ullman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This implementation guide describes the conceptual framework, data requirements, and computational procedures for determining the safety and mobility impacts of work zones in Texas. Researchers designed the framework and procedures to assist district-level personnel who have responsibility for work zone safety and mobility impact reviews of significant projects as required by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) policy. In this guide, researchers describe the types of impact monitoring and analysis that can occur as part of ongoing project activities and those that can be performed during post-project reviews. Analysis procedures are presented to assist in determining which projects should be targeted for regular reviews of crash data during the project, as well as the increase in crash frequency that is indicative of unusual safety concerns that should be investigated further through field observations. Researchers also present analysis procedures to guide district personnel in determining the queue lengths, individual vehicle delays, and total vehicle-hours of delay that are created during temporary lane closures in a project.

This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 1204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-disciplinary approach to transportation planning fundamentals The Transportation Planning Handbook is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference that presents the fundamental concepts of transportation planning alongside proven techniques. This new fourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of all users, the role of safety in the planning process, and transportation planning in the context of societal concerns, including the development of more sustainable transportation solutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a new format that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approach to planning, design, and implementation, including guidance toward the latest tools and technology. The material has been updated to reflect the latest changes to major transportation resources such as the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADA accessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rational planning model of defining objectives, identifying problems, generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans. Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a more multi-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the rising importance of sustainability and environmental concerns. This book presents the fundamentals of transportation planning in a multidisciplinary context, giving readers a practical reference for day-to-day answers. Serve the needs of all users Incorporate safety into the planning process Examine the latest transportation planning software packages Get up to date on the latest standards, recommendations, and codes Developed by The Institute of Transportation Engineers, this book is the culmination of over seventy years of transportation planning solutions, fully updated to reflect the needs of a changing society. For a comprehensive guide with practical answers, The Transportation Planning Handbook is an essential reference.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
