An Ecological Approach to Integrating Conservation and Highway Planning Volume 2

Creator:: Institute for Natural Resources, NatureServe, Parametrix, CH2M HILL, and Transposition Research Board of the National Academies
Abstract:: This report is intended to help transportation and environmental professionals apply ecological principles early in the planning and programming process of highway capacity improvements to inform later environmental reviews and permitting. Ecological principles consider cumulative landscape, water resources, and habitat impacts of planned infrastructure actions, as well as the localized...

Traffic Signal System Misconceptions Across Three Cohorts: Novice Students, Expert Students, and Practicing Engineers

Creator:: Hurwitz, David S., Brown, Shane, Islam, Mohammad, Daratha, Kelvin, and Kyte, Michael
Abstract:: Theories of situated knowledge and research evidence suggest that students are not prepared for the engineering workforce upon graduation from engineering programs. Concept inventory results from diverse fields suggest that students do not understand fundamental engineering, mathematics, and science concepts. These two concerns may result from different knowledge deficiencies; one...

Development of a Multi-Criteria Decision Method for High-Speed Rail Corridor Evaluation

Creator:: Sperry, Benjamin R., Mueller, Jon, and Hunter-Zaworski, Katharine
Abstract:: High-speed intercity passenger rail projects are very complex and require many years of planning and environmental activities before construction can begin. Given the complexity of planning and environmental reviews associated with high-speed intercity passenger rail corridor planning, a systematic approach for high-level screening of various alternative routings for proposed high-speed...

How Far Are Current Advisory Speeds from being Optimal? An Analysis Based on Safety Performance

Creator:: Avelar, Raul E. and Dixon, Karen K.
Abstract:: Posting advisory speed signs at sharp horizontal curves to provide the driving public with a safe speed is a practice well established in the United States. The operational effectiveness of these signs has long been questioned in the current literature. The authors of this paper recently developed a function to...
