  • Data assessment in Oregon for SafetyAnalyst based on Highway Safety Manual Part B

    Creator:
    Li, Meng
    Abstract:
    The author of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) Part B developed a predictive method for safety management. A software tool for highway safety system analysis called the SafetyAnalyst is developed basing on HSM Part B. The author describes an effort to evaluate the feasibility of SafetyAnalyst in Oregon. Seven sample...

    Creator:
    Claveria, Joseph B.
    Abstract:
    Distracted driving is an adverse driving behavior that is widely known to impair the safety of all roadway users and traffic flow. Despite the extensive research efforts on the prevalence and effects of distracted driving on roadway safety and performance, the number of vehicular crashes and fatalities resulting from distracted...

  • Removing Residual Lane Markings to Reduce Driver Confusion

    Creator:
    Weber, Jane B.
    Abstract:
    When pavement markings on roadways are removed, scarring can occur leaving behind traces of where the marking used to be called ghost lines. These ghost lines can confuse drivers on the roadway and divert their attention from the correct lane markings leading them into the false lane. Previous research has...

  • Tsunami loading on light-frame wood structures

    Creator:
    Linton, David B.
    Abstract:
    Since 2004 there have been multiple devastating tsunamis around the globe triggered by large magnitude earthquakes; with the most recent being the Tohoku, Japan tsunami in March 2011. These tsunamis have caused significant loss of life and damage to the coastal communities impacted by these powerful waves. The resulting devastation...

  • Implications of distracted driving on driver behavior in the standing queue of dual left-turn lanes : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Marnell, Patrick Stanley
    Abstract:
    Driver distraction is a commonly observable phenomenon with a significant effect on the transportation network. Although the negative effects of driver distraction on safety are commonly studied, there has been little effort made to investigate the impacts of distraction on efficiency. This study will examine driver behavior in standing queues...

  • Seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns constructed with grade 80 reinforcement

    Creator:
    Link, Tim B.
    Abstract:
    The research presented in this thesis assessed the use of high strength steel (HSS) reinforcement for use in reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns. HSS is not currently allowed in reinforced concrete bridge columns due to a lack of information on the material characteristics and performance information when used in RC...

  • Radiometric Calibration of EAARL‐B Bathymetric Lidar Data

    Creator:
    Wilson, Nicholas C.
    Abstract:
    The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar ‐ B (EAARL‐B), which was built and deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2014, is a novel topographic‐bathymetric lidar system. While retaining a number of features that were pioneered in the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) EAARL system (e.g., low...

  • Influence of Texting on Driver Glance Patterns and Vehicular Lane Position on Horizontal Curves

    Creator:
    Ellett, Makenzie A.
    Abstract:
    The use of in-vehicle technologies, such as mobile phones, while driving has proliferated in recent years. Most notably, drivers are using mobile phones to send and receive text messages while operating a vehicle with increasing frequency. The act of texting while driving poses a significant threat not only to the...

  • Driver Distraction from Unmanned Aerial Systems: Evidence, Policy, and Mitigation

    Creator:
    Barlow, Zachary W.
    Abstract:
    Unmanned aerial systems (UASs), more commonly known as drones, have recently achieved commercial success for many public and private applications. As with all emerging technologies, new safety concerns and conflicts with existing paradigms are likely to arise. Many potential applications of UASs will result in their operation near roadway infrastructure,...
