Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is interested in updating its methodologies for estimating capacities on freeway work zones in Florida. The current methods have not been modified since 1995, and the FDOT is particularly interested in new ways to facilitate the scheduling and managing of lane closures. This thesis proposes new simulation-based models for estimating the capacity of a temporary freeway work zone lane closure. Some of the factors considered in model development include the location of the upstream warning sign, the presence of trucks, the presence of law enforcement and/or heavy equipment, and the length of the work zone. In addition to these inputs, the average speeds per vehicle and the vehicular lane distributions for specific network links were considered in model development. A large matrix of scenarios was created so that the effects of all combinations of factors could be observed. Data were collected from simulation of these scenarios using the software package CORSIM 5.1. Three lane closure configurations (2-to-1, 3-to-2, and 3-to-1) were simulated and one model for estimating capacity was developed for each. All models for each lane closure configuration consider the input factors named previously as well as average speeds per vehicle and lane distributions of vehicles upstream of the work zone lane closure. The final models show the effects of each of these factors on the throughput capacity of a freeway lane closure. A higher fraction of vehicles in the to-be closed lane(s) prior to the work zone leads to a significant decrease in capacity. Likewise, higher speeds in the to-be closed lane(s) also lead to a capacity decrease. The result of this simulation modeling offers valuable insights into the relative capacities under different geometric configurations and traffic stream scenarios. Future research is recommended to calibrate the models to actual field conditions.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many jursidictions in Florida are moving toward multimodal transportation systems that provide users with viable travel options in an effort to minimize the economic, social, and enviornmental costs that have been associated with a purely vehicular system. To support this transition, a set of performance measures is needed that will supplement the vehicle-based Level of Service (LOS) that has been the primary tool within project impact analysis. This project developed a framework for assisting agencies in selecting a set of performance measures that are consistent with their overall goals and the quality of life that the community desires. An extensive list of performance measures was synthesized from the literature and categorized into groups according to several typical community and agency goals that they may support. Since there are numerous performance measures that can support each goal, several evaluation criteria were listed that can be used by a local agency to assess each measure in light of the agency’s goals, policies, and resources. These criteria consider the type and quality of data available to the agency, the compatibility of the measures with other agency processes, as well as the degree to which a measure encourages multimodal transportation. The report provides an example of how an agency could apply these criteria in order to select performance measures consistent with its goals and capabilities. The review systems for four Florida communities that have implemented successful multimodal areas are described in terms of their comprehensive plan, land development code, and project impact review. Land use mix and pedestrian environment measures were strongly favored by the communities documented in these system-level case studies, with multimodal choice strongly prioritized over congestion management. Finally, two development scenarios are created and studied using several performance measures to compare how different land use form affects the calculation of performance measures. A comparison of the impact is made based on whether measures support congestion management or mobility choice. The two development scenarios yield similar results when using congestion management as the primary agency objective, but show significant differences in their ability to support multimodal systems.
