Investigation of effectiveness of radar speed signs and additional lighting for speed control in highway construction and maintenance work zones

Creator:: Jafarnejad, Ali
Abstract:: Every year thousands of people are killed or injured in work zone crashes in the US due to excessive speed, distraction, inattentiveness, low visibility, and other factors. Roadway construction and maintenance operations often occur at night when the traffic volume is low, creating less congestion and delay to the traffic....

Multi-hazard Damage and Loss Assessment of Bridge Networks

Creator:: Burns, Patrick O.
Abstract:: The overarching objective of this study is to examine and compare the vulnerabilities of bridges combining effects of earthquake-induced ground shaking, ground failure (e.g., landslides and lateral spreading), and tsunami inundation. A parametric study is performed to understand the sensitivity of economic loss and traffic capacity with respect to the...

Determinants of household vehicle miles traveled in Oregon

Creator:: Holder, Daniel R.
Abstract:: This study models the household demand for vehicle miles traveled with a focus on the effects from bicycle ridership and transit ridership. Through the use of data from the Oregon Household Activity Survey collected on behalf of the Oregon Department of Transportation, evidence is found that households participating in bicycle...

The Evaluation of Engineering Treatments for Right-Hook Crashes at Signalized Intersections with Bicycle Traffic

Creator:: Warner, Jennifer Lynn
Abstract:: A right-hook crash is a bicycle-motor vehicle crash between a right-turning motor vehicle and an adjacent through-moving bicycle. This study focuses on right-hook crashes that occur during the latter stage of the circular green indication at signalized intersections with shared right-turn and through lanes. The overall objective was to evaluate...

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...

Population Density and Households’ Transportation and Housing Cost Trade-Offs

Creator:: Palm, Matthew
Abstract:: As metropolitan governments explore density-promoting “smart growth” policies, finer analysis is needed to quantify the impact of such changes on households’ transportation and housing costs. Existing research suggests that households in urban areas face a trade-off between living in areas with higher housing costs and lower transportation costs or the...

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...

Preliminary Assessment of Driver Parking Decisions From A Heavy Vehicle Driving Simulator To Inform Curb Management Decisions

Creator:: Liu, Yujun
Abstract:: As e-commerce and urban deliveries spike, there is an increasing demand for curbside loading/unloading space. However, commercial vehicle drivers face numerous challenges while navigating dense urban road networks. Previous literature on the topic of how commercial vehicle drivers make choices about when and where to park is scarce, and data...

The Number of Lanes and Crash Injury Severities of Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers: Advanced Econometric Models and Applications

Creator:: Kim, Jaekook
Abstract:: Considering the deadly impacts of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes on road safety, many previous studies have put in efforts to find the determinants of CMV crash injury severities. However, studies examining the impact of the different number of lanes on CMV crash injury severities are lacking. Besides, the importance...

Evaluation of Setback Crosswalk to Mitigate Vehicle-Pedestrian Conflicts at Intersections

Creator:: Chai, Eileen Pei Ying
Abstract:: It is considered best practice when designing pedestrian access at intersections to provide two curb ramps at each street corner. In Oregon, there are many locations where long ramp runs cause curb ramps to be set back a significant distance from the apex of the intersection corner to meet this...
