  • Road design process for low volume recreation and resource development roads

    Creator:
    Kramer, Brian W.
    Abstract:
    This study presents a rational process with supporting data to establish appropriate road design controls, criteria, and standards for low volume recreation and resource development. Much of the information presented can be used to supplement design data presented in a National road design policy published by the American Association of...

  • A validation of the Oregon State University driving simulator

    Creator:
    Brown, Lacy S.
    Abstract:
    Driving simulation is widely accepted as a safe, effective, and economical alternative for investigating driver behavior in a variety of contexts. However, in order to apply simulator-based research results to real-world settings, the performance measures acquired through simulated driving experiments must first be validated. This research was aimed at validating...

  • Computer simulation of offtracking of truck and trailer combinations using forest roads

    Creator:
    Erkert, Thomas W.
    Abstract:
    Many of the analytical techniques that are currently available are not capable of analyzing the offtracking of truck and trailer combinations or the path of load overhangs through a set of curves that are commonly found on forest roads. Advances in the processing speed of microcomputers have made it possible...

  • Cross-section fatal crash type prediction models

    Creator:
    Zhu, Hong
    Abstract:
    The rural two-lane highway in the southeastern United States is frequently associated with a disproportionate number of serious and fatal crashes. The major research objectives are to investigate the relations between probabilities of fatal crash type occurrence and potential contributing factors from road geometric design characteristics and roadside, environmental features....

    Creator:
    Bird-Gauvin, Sally
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research was to see if there were technological differences in ground stone manufacturing and use from a single site that had been occupied for over 600 years, A.D. 550-A.D. 1150, and had multiple occupations that evolved over time (Late Pithouse Phases, Georgetown, San Francisco, and Three...

    Abstract:
    My thesis, entitled “The Clerk’s Tale: Literal Monstrosities and Allegorical Problems,” argues that Chaucer’s Clerk is engaging both sides of a binary system.
