Innovative Applications of Real-World Vehicle Trajectories Collected with a Radar Vehicle Detection System

Creator:: Simpson, Ellen J.
Abstract:: Left turn movements are considered to be the highest risk movements through an intersection, and can result in head on, angle, or side impact crashes. The flashing yellow arrow (FYA) for use as a permissive left turn phasing indication is relatively recent, first appearing in the 2009 edition Manual on...

Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

Creator:: Oakes, Ian R.
Abstract:: Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...

Spatial and Temporal Effects of Large Truck-Involved Crash Injury Severities : A Mixed Logit Analysis

Creator:: Pahukula, Jasmine
Abstract:: Large truck-involved crashes have a significant impact on both the economy and society. They are associated with high injury severities, high crash costs and contribute to congestion in urban areas. Past studies have investigated the contributing factors of large truck-involved crashes, however a study isolating the spatial and temporal effects...

Understanding Passenger Perception of Air Travel Safety Through Advanced Econometric Modeling

Creator:: Olsen, Aleah G.
Abstract:: Passenger security screening is a continuously evolving process and not much is known about how passengers perceive its effectiveness in keeping air travel safe. The provided thesis consists of two manuscripts that expand the literature on passenger perception of safety through the application of advanced econometric techniques. This thesis aims...

Innovative Strategies to Protect Concrete Bridge Decks and Cross-Laminated Timber Structures through the Use of Impermeable Overlays

Creator:: Haynes, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Bridges are a vital component of transportation infrastructure in the United States, and the continual maintenance and preservation of bridges is critical to maintaining their structural capacity and maximizing service life. One of the most significant issues faced by concrete bridges is the infiltration of moisture from the roadway surface...

A Review of Current State Department of Transportation Practice for Promoting and Documenting the Safety of Field Employees

Creator:: Barlow, Zachary Wesley
Abstract:: State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are the primary owners of roadway infrastructure in the United States. Many of the employees of state DOTs work on roadway work sites, putting them at disproportionately higher risks of injury or fatality. A review of the literature determined that a combination of policies, standards,...

Crowdsourcing Data-driven Development of Bicycle Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) : Microscopic and Macroscopic Scales

Creator:: Chen, Chen
Abstract:: While riding bicycles has been promoted for its health, economic, and environmental benefits, it also complements other modes to complete a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation system. However, the dramatic increase of bicycle usage in the U.S. is accompanied by a growth of bicycle crashes. The U.S. Department of Transportation,...

Development of Technologies to Evaluate Hot Mix Asphalt Adhesion through Tack Coat

Creator:: Mahmoud, Aiman Mustafa H.
Abstract:: Flexible pavements consist of multilayers, which form the pavement structures. Since the strength of the bond at interface between layers plays a significant role in improving the structural integri-ty and the performance of pavement structures, tack coat materials and methods used for their application during construction are important in providing...

Exploring the Relationship between Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress and Reported Bicycle Collisions

Creator:: Vogt, Rachel
Abstract:: Transportation agencies need efficient methods to determine how to improve bicycle facilities in order to improve connectivity and safety. Many studies have used standalone methods such as level of traffic stress (LTS) and bicycle level of service (BLOS) to better understand bicycle mode share and network connectivity for a region...

A GIS approach to estimating continuous hydraulic conductivity and equivalent hydraulic conductivity

Creator:: Arras, Tracy Lynn
Abstract:: Estimating the hydraulic conductivity of earth materials is important for many water resource modeling efforts, including predicting the transport of pollutants in ground water, computing surface runoff for flood control, and computing water budgets. This research implicitly used topography, soil, and climate data to estimate plausible continuous hydraulic conductivity values...
