Abstract:
Motor vehicle crash rates and roadway characteristics for National Highway System (NHS) and non-NHS roads in seven states—California, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Washington— are presented. Accident and roadway data were extracted from the Federal Highway Administration’s Highway Safety Information System. Overall, crash rates on NHS roads were approximately 10 percent lower than those on non-NHS roads, perhaps the result of higher design standards. Crash rates on urban roadways were considerably higher than on the corresponding rural roadways in each state. For rural roadways, fixed-object crash rates were higher on NHS roads than on non-NHS roads. The distribution of crashes by severity was quite similar on NHS and non-NHS roads. For urban freeways, NHS Interstates usually had lower crash rates than NHS non-Interstates. The majority of NHS roads had lane widths of 3.4 m (11 ft) or more, and many had shoulder widths of 1.5 m (5 ft) or more. Compared to NHS non-Interstate roads, NHS Interstate roads were more likely to have lane widths of 3.7 m (12 ft) or over, shoulder widths of 2.4 m (8 ft) or over, paved shoulders, and improved median design. Highway designers and safety officials can use this type of information about accident rates and roadway characteristics to enhance safety by upgrading existing highways and improving the design of NHS highways to some specified roadway design standards and guidelines.

Abstract:
This paper draws the first set of high-level, national speed profiles for the entire Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways (Interstate system) in the United States based on the 2016 year-long National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) and a conflated NPMRDS-HPMS (Highway Performance Monitoring System) geospatial network. This set of quantitative profiles include: ( a) national average speeds of 2016, ( b) national average speed time of day variations, ( c) national average speed day of week variations, ( d) national average speed seasonal variations, and ( e) state average speed and travel time distributions in peak hours. This work demonstrates that the integration of the private sector’s emerging big travel-time data and the public sector’s HPMS has provided a powerful resource to monitor travel-time-related performance of the nation’s highways. As the United States is transforming the Federal-aid Highway Program into a performance-based program with enhanced accountability and transparency, this integrated resource will help states and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to monitor their performance and progress towards achieving targets, and enable the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) not only to draw high-level national highway performance profiles but also to pinpoint the exact where, when, and how much the challenges are.

Abstract:
Maintaining the safety and mobility of the state highway network in a cost-effective manner is a top priority for any state department of transportation (DOT). As funding for major new infrastructure becomes scarce and traffic levels steadily rise, maximizing and maintaining the existing highway system becomes increasingly critical. For the Ohio DOT, the task of maintaining Ohio’s highways is massive. While only 35th in geographic size, the state of Ohio has the nation’s 5th-highest traffic volume traveling on the 4th-largest Interstate network and has the 2nd-largest bridge inventory. Traffic in Ohio has grown by 90% during the last 20 years, and this growth pattern is expected to continue. Ohio’s Interstate highways were built in the 1960s and have far exceeded their 20-year design life, creating an even greater need for effective highway maintenance. During the last 3 years, Ohio DOT adopted strategic initiatives to revamp the department’s maintenance management methods, improve practices, and optimize resource use. Focused on redefining, prioritizing, and tracking all maintenance resources, the department set out to combine planning, implementation, quality-review, and cost-accounting data into one manageable, easily accessed system. The product of this intensive effort, the Ohio DOT county annual work plans, is revolutionizing the way the department approaches maintenance management. Before the implementation of the work plans in July 2001, roadside conditions and maintenance efforts varied widely across the state. Following the inaugural year of the work plans, conditions were meeting statewide standards, reflecting the state’s new focus on more effectively managing Ohio’s transportation investment.

Abstract:
The development of deterioration models for Virginia's Interstate pavements with 7 years of distress data is described. Roadway sections were categorized by pavement type and geographic location, and stepwise regression was used to select the significant predictors of deterioration. Different model forms were examined in an attempt to identify the most appropriate one for fitting the data. The models were evaluated by checking their goodness-of-fit statistics and conducting a series of sensitivity analyses. To further assess the models’ accuracy, their predictions were compared against field-observed values. An analysis-of-variance (ANOVA) test was also conducted to compare the accuracies of two model forms and two model adjustment procedures. In general, the developed models provided an adequate fit and generated predictions that conform with accepted engineering judgment. Comparisons with field observations showed their accuracies to be quite reasonable, even for long-range predictions. Finally, the ANOVA results indicated that no significant differences existed between the two model forms tested or between the two adjustment procedures. Although the focus of the research was on developing models for Virginia, the concepts of the study are applicable to any deterioration model development effort.

Abstract:
The concurrent development of administrative law and America's modern transportation system is no accident. Both reflect the technological and societal changes that have defined what the United States is today. The importance of transportation is reflected by the fact that so many of the important events, statutes, and court decisions in the history of 20th century administrative law have involved transportation. The first really powerful administrative agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission, was created to regulate railroads and, later, interstate trucking. The Federal-Aid Highway Program, which can trace its roots to 1893, has been the largest federal grant program for much of this century. The statutory framework for this program, established by the Federal Road Act of 1916 and the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1921, became the model for all federal grant programs. The Interstate system and other highway programs helped shape the great economic expansion that followed World War II. The effects of these vast new road systems were among the most important factors leading to the growth of modern environmental law in the 1960s and 1970s. In the years ahead, with the accelerating integration of new technology into the transportation system, further concurrent change in transportation and administrative law is inevitable.

Abstract:
To ensure safer driving conditions on highways, state highway agencies are exploring the use of new technologies that will improve the flow of information about hazardous road conditions. These technologies are called Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS). The objective of this paper is to provide a systematic methodology for highway agencies to evaluate the costs and benefits associated with implementing RWIS. This objective was achieved through the development of a life cycle cost-benefit model for RWIS. This analysis tool provides highway agency decision makers with a methodology through which different RWIS implementation alternatives can be evaluated from economic, qualitative, and environmental perspectives. A case study demonstrating the use of the RWIS cost-benefit model also is included. The purpose of the case study is to evaluate whether or not it is cost-beneficial to implement an RWIS on Interstate 20 near Abilene, Texas. The model determined that it was cost-beneficial to implement this system.

Abstract:
This study explored factors affecting traffic accidents in roadway segments with and without lighting systems using a random parameter negative binomial model. This study sought to make up for a shortcoming of the fixed parameter model that constrained the estimated parameters to be fixed across observations, by applying random parameters that can take into account unobserved heterogeneity. Three variables had a random parameter among nine significant variables in segments with lighting systems, while seven of the eleven significant variables in a segment without a lighting system had random parameters. The different influence of interstate highway geometrics on vehicle crashes with and without lighting systems found through this study considering unobserved heterogeneity may hopefully help reduce accident frequencies and consider installation of lighting systems on interstate highways in the future.

From its inception, the Oregon State Highway Department and Portland's political leaders repeatedly failed to address the city's automobile traffic problems. However, in 1955 the Highway Department published a comprehensive freeway plan that anticipated new federal funding and initiated an era of unprecedented road construction in the growing city. In the early 1960s, localized opposition to the city's Interstate system failed to halt the completion of three major routes. Yet, politically savvy grassroots activists and a new generation of local leaders used the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973 to successfully stop the construction of two freeways in the mid 1970s. Though favorable legislation and the efforts of local politicians were instrumental in thwarting the Highway Department's plans, this study will focus on the crucial role played by the citizens who waged an ideological battle against recalcitrant highway engineers for Portland's future.

Abstract:
This thesis presents the results of a mathematical analysis of various live load combinations on highway bridge spans up to 304.8 meters (1,000 feet) total lengths. The analysis included continuous beams, but only the results for simple beams is presented. The analysis was performed using an independently developed Microsoft EXCEL spreadsheet computation, based on superposition and classical mechanics. In this thesis, several actual bridge live loadings and several hypothetical live loadings were analyzed and compared to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Load and Resistance Factor Design method. Also considered was the new bridge design method adopted by the Louisiana Department of Transportation in March 2015. The evolution of bridge design loads is discussed, and the concept of the Military Load Classification is introduced and adapted to the bridge design analysis. The results of the analysis are presented, compared and interpreted for use in future bridge design.

Abstract:
Previous studies show that pavement condition properties are significant factors to enhance road safety and riding experience, and pavements with low quality might have inadequate performance in terms of safety and riding experience. Pavement Management System (PMS) databases include pavement properties for each segment of the road collected by the agencies. Understanding the impact of road characteristics on crash frequency is a key step to prevent crashes. Whereas other studies analyzed the effect of different characteristics such as International Roughness Index (IRI), Rutting Depth (RD), Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), this thesis analyzed the effect of Critical Condition Index (CCI) on crash frequency, in addition to the other factors identified in previous studies. Other characteristics such as Percentage of Heavy Vehicles, Road Surface Condition, Road Lighting Condition, and Driver Conditions are taken into the consideration. The scope of the study is the interstate highway system in Fairfax County, Virginia. Negative Binomial, Least Square and Nominal Logistic Models were developed, showing that the CCI value is a significant factor to predict the number of crashes, and that it has different effect for different values of AADT. The result of this study is a substantial step towards developing an integrated transportation control and infrastructure management framework.

Many factors cause crashes in the roads. Although there is a common sense that road characteristics such as asphalt quality are important in terms of road safety, there are few studies that scientifically prove that statement. In addition, asphalt maintenance decisions making process is mainly based on cost benefit optimization, and traffic safety is not considered at the process. The purpose of this study is to analyze crashes and road characteristics related to each crash to understand the effect of those characteristics on crash frequency, and eventually, to build a model to predict the number of crashes at each part of the road. The model can help transportation agencies to have a better understanding in terms of safety consequences of their infrastructure management plans. The scope of this study is the highway interstate system in Northern Virginia. Results suggest that pavement condition has a significant impact on crash frequency.

Abstract:
For the last century, automobiles and the roads they require have been a dominant force shaping the modern American landscape. An unrivaled interstate highway system connects major metropolitan areas and is the basis of our transportation infrastructure. Unfortunately, many roadways were not planned or designed with wildlife in mind. As long linear features in the landscape, interstates can function as landscape barriers and cause significant impacts to adjacent wildlife populations. While an aggressive transportation system is being carried out, researchers have only marginally demonstrated the relationships between roadways and wildlife. In such cases, twinned interstate roadways have proven to be the greatest obstacle for wildlife resources. By incorporating ecological design theory into highway planning and design, the transportation community has an opportunity to reassess the short comings of existing highway infrastructure and improve functions of wildlife passage and landscape connectivity. Through system level approaches and analysis applied within an eco-region context, practical solutions can be developed. The following document provides a process for landscape level analysis, wildlife passage structure design and implementation for future planned interstates projects. As a collaborative effort among professionals, we can work towards improving interstate highway systems and retain the relationships occurring within the landscape. The following I-81 design and planning project offers an exceptional opportunity to reassess the inadequacies of the existing interstate infrastructure in terms of landscape connectivity, wildlife resources and public safety, and demonstrate how system level design approaches can give our roadways new shape and form.

Abstract America’s response to the onset of the Great Depression dramatically reoriented politics and policy in many spheres: highway policy would prove no exception. Although plummeting property tax revenues hamstrung cities in their efforts to undertake dramatic new initiatives, particularly those involving urban freeways, New Deal policies extended federal financial support to some urban road building projects. In terms of roads between cities, the new spirit of government activism set off by the New Deal would, with the personal sanction of President Franklin Roosevelt, ultimately lead to dramatic advances in the quest to create a national highway system. Beginning with the report Toll Roads and Free Roads in 1939 and continuing through Interregional Highways proposal in 1944, the form of a future Interstate Highway System gradually emerged.

Abstract Roads—Tobacco Road, “Dixie Highway,” “Crossroads Blues,” “On the Road Again.” Highways have long claimed a place of distinction in southern culture. They have also dominated political debate and concentrated economic effort. The region, Mississippi senator Pat Harrison admitted in the 1930s, had an obssession with “climbing out of the mud.” Pavement symbolized progress. For visitors to the region, nothing so altered the face of the South as the construction of the National Defense Interstate Highway System in the late 1950s. Federal-aid roads paved the South, laying more road below the Mason-Dixon line in three years than southerners themselves had cleared in the years from 1789 to 1930.

The nation's surface transportation infrastructure represents a key component to economic growth in the United States for the 21st century. The establishment of the Interstate Highway System in 1956 represents one of the country's greatest public works achievements. The funding mechanism has been the Highway Trust Fund that collects fuel taxes to finance transportation projects. The rationale for this structure was to create a self-financed program. Over the last couple of decades, fuel taxes have not kept pace with highway needs. This chapter will examine the widening funding gap and options for making the program a true pay-as-you-go system once again.

Abstract GM’s Futurama ride was the hit attraction of the 1939 New York World’s Fair. It depicted “an infinitely better place in which to live” 20 years in the future. Visitors were conveyed in moving chairs as if flying in an airplane over miniaturized dioramas of a paradise of industrial centers, towering cities, vast suburbs, and pristine forests, mountains, lakes, and rivers, all linked together by one thing—the car. Cars whizzed along automated expressways through cities and across the countryside. The people who visited Futurama in 1939 had never considered a future like this. Only one in four owned a car, and there was no interstate freeway system. But they left the exhibit with subliminal instructions from GM: build the highways with your tax dollars, buy the cars we manufacture, and all your dreams will come true. Bolstered by a lot of lobbying, GM’s prophetic vision of a vast network of highways was soon realized. In 1956, the U.S. Interstate Highway program was launched, and 46,000 miles of high-speed, limited-access expressways eventually crisscrossed the nation. It transformed America.

Abstract:
Abstract Immediately after World War II, political debates and bargaining over how to fund ambitions plans for freeways took place, first in Sacramento, California and later in Washington, DC. California took a series of steps that would presage later highway finance developments at the national level. While California’s iconic image as the global capital of automobile culture is in some ways misplaced, it was indeed a pioneer in building a statewide freeway system. The California fiscal-administrative model would become the prototype for the rest of the country—most importantly, for the U.S. Interstate Highway System. Many interests that would later comprise the “Highway Lobby” began as determined opponents of increasing taxes and fees to build freeways but were won over during the process. Urban interests were brought into the highway finance coalition with promises to build the new superhighways, not just between cities, but within them as well. This urbanization of state and federal highway finance, culminating at the federal level in 1956, would transform American cities and travel within them for generations to come.

The associated management and protection of this critical infrastructure is a challenging task because it is often compromised or damaged by natural disasters, human error, or sabotage. Further, the cascading effects associated with disruptions can impact related interdependent infrastructure, such as supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA). In this context, although the protection and/or hardening of network elements can reduce disruptive impacts, the cost to protect all equipment in the system is prohibitive. The purpose of this chapter is to detail an optimization approach for selecting elements on a network to be protected, under budget constraints, in order to maximize system performance if one or more components are damaged or destroyed. Applications results for a large scale, geospatial network are explored and presented, illustrating problem complexities as well as the potential for informed strategic investment decision making. The implications for SCADA systems relying on large scale geospatial networks, including the public Internet, are also discussed.

Abstract:
This chapter investigates the discourse surrounding hitchhiking in the post-World War II era to understand the ways in which rising prosperity, exponential growth in car ownership, and the Cold War political atmosphere affected American notions of community, masculine individualism, and personal safety. Many motorists greeted hitchhikers on the road with increased suspicion. Likewise, media and law-enforcement officials began to predominantly frame the practice in terms of risk and danger. Regardless, this did little to dampen the spirits of a new generation of middle-class white youths who began to associate hitchhiking with thrifty adventure and a ticket to authentic experience on the nation’s expanding interstate highway system. At the same time, African Americans began to aggressively push for equal rights and the end of segregation. Notably, automobility, bus boycotts, and hitchhiking were a key front in this struggle.

Abstract:
It has been over fifty years since the beginning of the decline of the American industrial city. After World War II, urban life in the United States began to fracture along social, economic, and demographic lines. The rise of the interstate highway system facilitated the simultaneous collapse of downtown retail districts; advancing urban decay stood in marked contrast to a thriving, homogeneous, trans-continental suburban culture. Today, widespread obsolescence has catalyzed and accelerated to embody the future of shrinking cities in the RustBelt.

Abstract:
A number of automotive crashes occur each year due to semitrailers following passenger vehicles too closely on interstate highways and secondary roads. This hazardous practice, called tailgating, accounted for over 40% of the 110,000 trailer-passenger vehicle crashes recorded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2010. Tailgating is difficult to detect and document using visual methods and law enforcement agencies must depend on trained officers, whose abilities may be limited. In this paper, a proposed tailgating detection system, mounted to the officer’s patrol vehicle, continuously monitors both passenger and commercial vehicles, as the officer travels down the roadway. A rotating laser range-finding sensor feeds information to a microprocessor that continuously searches for the occurrence of tailgating. A weighting algorithm determines when a tailgating event has definitively occurred to reduce system sensitivity. If an event is detected, the officer is notified with audio and visual cues. A time stamped record including all relevant system information for later use in legal prosecution is also produced. In a virtual case study, the computer generated roadway environment was populated with vehicles of varying velocity and location. The numerical results show that the detection algorithm was able to successfully locate all of the virtual vehicles and accurately determine tailgating events under a number of different simulation conditions.

Abstract Discussion of a Performance - Based Engineering evaluation procedure for an existing interstate highway bridge in north Mississippi. The bridge is in a highly trafficked location near the Memphis Metropolitan area and is reflective of modern design practices in Mississippi. Results are presented of nonlinear damage response and displacement ductility performance of the reinforced concrete bents and their foundations predicted using static finite element (FE) computations. The model considers the composite action of the concrete and the reinforcing steel materials under axial force, shear, torsion and flexure. The performance-based evaluation includes three-dimensional computational simulations of the nonlinear bridge system, including substructures and superstructure. The response spectrum dynamic analysis method will also be carried out on the linear elastic three-dimensional model to predict the linear elastic behavior. Field vibration measurements, including ambient and hammer-impact, were performed to calibrate the models. The computed transfer functions are currently being evaluated to correlate vibration measurements and the Finite element models.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The use of wireless power transfer systems, consisting of inductive electrical coils on the vehicle and the power source may be designed for dynamic operations where the vehicle will absorb energy at highway speeds from transmitting coils in the road. This has the potential to reduce the onboard energy storage requirements for vehicles while enabling significantly longer missions. This paper presents an approach to architecting a dynamic wireless power transfer corridor for heavy duty battery electric commercial freight vehicles. By considering the interplay of roadway power capacity, roadway and vehicle coil coverage, seasonal road traffic loading, freight vehicle class and weight, vehicle mobility energy requirements, on-board battery chemistry, non-electrified roadway vehicle range requirements, grid capacity, substation locations, and variations in electricity costs, we minimize the vehicle TCO by architecting the electrified roadway and the vehicle battery simultaneously. The idea optimizes battery size and chemistry so that the depth of discharge between recharge events and expected life are balanced, thus fully utilizing the energy available throughout the course of the battery system's life. The approach is illustrated by applying it to the I-75 freight corridor, where the framework developed may be expanded and applied to a larger interstate system, expanded regional corridor, or other transportation network.</div></div>

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">About 200,000 miles (~8 times around the earth) comprise the National Highway System, which carries most of the highway freight and traffic in the U.S. The core of the nation’s highway system is the 48,254 miles of Interstate Highways, which comprise just over 1 percent of highway mileage but carry over 25% of all highway traffic. Americans traveled a total of 5.3 trillion miles by all transportation modes in 2016, an average of 16,400 miles per person. About 80 percent was by automobile, truck, or motorcycle. Due to a high contribution to mobility and energy consumption, freeways and highway have been attracting researchers to move more vehicles faster and in energy-efficient manner. The research interest in motorways and highways has been driven by their significant impact on transportation efficiency and energy consumption, as they facilitate the movement of vehicles at higher speeds while optimizing energy usage. This entails the development of enhanced control techniques capable of effectively detecting and responding to dynamic traffic conditions, environmental variables, and attributes of the road network in real-time. In conventional control systems, the sensors are often stationary and possess restricted detection capabilities, with the controls being activated by the vehicle itself. The integration of connected vehicles (CVs) has resulted in the enhancement of fixed sensor technologies through the incorporation of vehicle-based sensing capabilities. Furthermore, pedestrians are now being connected through their smart devices and non-motorized vehicles, such as scooters and bikes, to have a more comprehensive understanding of the current traffic conditions. There has been a subsequent movement in the field of research and development, wherein the focus has transitioned from just relying on infrastructure-based sensing to incorporating vehicle augmented sensing. In a similar vein, control methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated and adept at using information obtained by CV.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">This study presents a novel control system that utilizes linked vehicles to enhance safety and increase traffic flow efficiency on a motorway facility. The conventional infrastructure-based controls for vehicles rely on vehicle detection and assume that the arrival of vehicles follows a Poisson distribution. However, these controls are unable to accurately recognize platoons of vehicles. In the context of conventional control techniques, it is common for vehicle platoons originating from the upstream to encounter interruptions in their movement because of conflicting demands made by vehicles on different approaches. Hence, because of its fundamental constraint, namely the lack of prompt responsiveness to incoming traffic, the performance of the system can be significantly subpar. The advent of connected vehicle technology has led to the availability of copious volumes of high-resolution data. The utilization of trajectory data derived by connected/autonomous vehicles presents a more dependable means of obtaining real-time traffic information, hence serving as a crucial data resource for an increasing range of applications, such as signal control techniques. Enhanced information leads to increased potential for deeper understanding of operations, hence resulting in enhanced control and management capabilities. This work introduces the application of the Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) clustering technique for the purpose of identifying platoons of cars on a transportation facility. Dynamic speed limits (DSL) are employed to communicate the ideal speed to the recognized platoons. In contrast to conventional DSL, the transmission of speed information to linked and automated vehicles is facilitated using V2X connection. In this paper, variable message signs do not communicate speed limits and, as a result, speed limitations are not restricted to specific locations. Moreover, it should be noted that each platoon possesses a distinct ideal speed, which is determined by the specific flow characteristics that are currently prevailing. A series of experiments were conducted using a microscopic tool to evaluate the impact of a strategy on ten distinct traffic mixtures. The implementation of automation resulted in a concurrent increase in the rate of flow. With an increase in automation, an increase in flow was also observed</div></div>

Abstract:
Over the past two decades, several options have emerged as alternatives to traditional internal combustion engine-powered transportation systems. The alternative power sources garnering the most commercial interest have been hydrogen fuel-cells, battery-powered electric, propane, biodiesel, ethanol, and compressed natural gas. “Transportation Integrating Green Energy Resources” (TIGER)™ is a prototype hybrid vehicle that optimizes consumer desire for performance, alternative fuels, and environmental emissions reduction. It is powered by a combination of an electric motor and a biodiesel internal combustion engine. It is a two-passenger vehicle with a solarelectric, zero-emissions primary energy source for the daily commute while still permitting long-range travel utilizing the range-extension provided by the biodiesel engine. The average daily commute in the United States is less than 50 miles. During daily commuting use, the vehicle will operate solely as a solar-electric car. The electric vehicle (EV) system will be charged by deployable solar cells on its top surface while it is parked in a sun-lit parking lot during the workday. This charge will be sufficient to replenish energy used during a 50-mile commute. The commute is patterned as being comprised of 40 mph segments representing travel on arterial city roads and a 70-mph segment representing interstate highway travel. The biodiesel engine functions as the secondary power source to permit long-range trips with a refueling stop planned for around 350 miles; comparable to a conventional vehicle. The paper will report key elements of the vehicle design, including trade-offs between energy efficiency and passenger comfort/safety. Details of the various sub-systems such as the energy sources, the hybrid drive-train, and subsystem integration will be presented.

Abstract:
Over 400 billion passenger vehicle trajectory waypoints are collected each month in the United States. This data creates many new opportunities for agencies to assess operational characteristics of roadways for more agile management of resources. This study compared traffic counts obtained from 24 Indiana Department of Transportation traffic counts stations with counts derived by the vehicle trajectories during the same periods. These stations were geographically distributed throughout Indiana with 13 locations on interstates and 11 locations on state or US roads. A Wednesday and a Saturday in January, August, and September 2020 are analyzed. The results show that the analyzed interstates had an average penetration of 4.3% with a standard deviation of 1.0. The non-interstate roads had an average penetration of 5.0% with a standard deviation of 1.36. These penetration levels suggest that connected vehicle data can provide a valuable data source for developing scalable roadway performance measures. Since all agencies currently have a highway monitoring system using fixed infrastructure, this paper concludes by recommending agencies integrate a connected vehicle penetration monitoring program into their traditional highway count station program to monitor the growing penetration of connected cars and trucks.

This report describes the hydraulic effects of dikes on water surface elevation (WSE) and velocities in the Mississippi River near Vicksburg, MS, from Interstate 20 to Highway 80 using a previously calibrated 2D Adaptive Hydraulics numerical model. Dike heights and their associated hydraulic roughness values were varied to quantify the overall effects of adjustments to dike fields. Steady flows characterized as low, medium, and high conditions were simulated. The WSE and velocity difference plots were generated to illustrate the hydraulic effects on the river under all scenarios discussed above. Overall, the dike adjustments had negligible impacts on WSEs and showed minimal effects on velocities on a system-wide scale.

Abstract:
Pollinating insects provide vital ecosystem services and are facing global declines and habitat loss . Roadsides are increasingly regarded as important potential areas for enhancing pollinator habitat. Understanding which roadsides best support pollinators — and why — is essential to helping locate and prioritize pollinator conservation efforts across roadside networks. To support this effort, we assessed butterfly, bee, and flowering plant species richness and abundance on a set of 63 stratified randomized roadside transects in State -managed rights -of -way in SE Idaho. Our research evaluated pollinator diversity as a function of highway class (interstate, U.S., and state highways), remotely sensed NDVI values (a measure of vegetation greenness), and floral resources. We found that smaller highways and lower (less green) maximum NDVI values were associated with significantly more bee species and total bees. Roadsides bordering sagebrush habitats typically had low NDVI values and higher bee and butterfly species richness, potentially contributing to this observed pattern. Butterfly richness increased in association with higher floral abundance in roadsides. Additionally, we identified and mapped 1,363 roadside patches of milkweed (Asclepias speciosa), larval host plant for the imperiled monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), in a survey of over 900 miles of southern Idaho highways. Based on these results and a literature review, we recommend management strategies to promote the health of pollinator populations in Idaho’s rights-of-way and provide data to help ITD prioritize areas for pollinator -friendly management practices and habitat restoration within their highway system.

Full text
Abstract:
According to federal law, routine commercial vehicles must adhere to certain limits on their load configuration in order to operate legally on interstate highways. However, states may allow for heavier or different load configurations provided that bridges on the state and county highway system are load rated and, if necessary, posted with vehicles that appropriately represent these loads. The state of Indiana allows several classes of vehicles to operate with loads that exceed federal limits, and, presently, several LFD design loads are used to represent these exceptions as state legal loads. This study evaluates the MBE rating loads for their ability to encompass Indiana’s exception vehicles and recommends a set of state rating loads which can replace the current state legal loads and, combined with the MBE rating loads, satisfactorily encompass the load effects due to these exceptions. Comparing moment and shear envelopes on a representative set of bridges, the MBE rating vehicles were found to be insufficient for representing Indiana’s exception vehicles. Three new rating loads are proposed which encompass the exception vehicles efficiently and represent realistic legal loads. Conversely, acceptable HS-20 rating factors are also provided as an alternative to the adoption of these new vehicles. These rating factors, all 1.0 or greater, can ensure a similar level of safety by requiring a specific amount of excess capacity for the HS-20 design load.

Abstract:
We study the allocation of dynamic electric vehicle charging investments from the policymaker’s perspective, which aims to meet statewide emission-reduction targets for the Illinois passenger vehicle sector. We determine statewide charging deployment trajectories over a 30-year planning horizon and estimate their emission reduction. Electric vehicle demand functions model the electrified vehicle market growth and capture network externalities and spatial heterogeneity. Our analysis indicates that most chargers need to be deployed in the first 10 to 15 years of the transition to allow benefits to accrue for electric vehicle drivers, availability of home charging influences consumers’ choice and drivers’ electrified travel distance, charging stations should be prioritized for frequent long-distance drivers, and spatial effects are crucial in accurately capturing the demand for electric vehicles in Illinois. We also develop a multi-criteria suitability map to site charging stations for electric vehicles based on economic, societal, and environmental justice indicators. We identify census tracts that should be prioritized during Illinois’ statewide deployment of charging infrastructure along with interstates and major highways that traverse them. Major interstates and highways I-90, I-80, I-55, and I-57 are identified as having high siting suitability scores for charging stations. Last, a novel location model was developed for equitable electric vehicle charging infrastructure placement in the Illinois interstate and major highway network. Two objectives were set to reduce detours and improve the ability to complete long-distance trips for low-income electric vehicle travelers and multi-unit dwelling residents. Our analysis indicates that if the system’s efficiency is the only consideration, low-income/multi-unit housing resident travelers are most likely to fail to complete their trips, while an equitable charging siting could mitigate this issue.

Abstract:
While automated trucking developers have established regular commercial shipments, operations and testing remain limited largely to limited-access highways like interstates. This infrastructure provides a platform or operating environment that is highly structured, with generally good road conditions and visible lane markings. To date, these deployments have not included routine movements from hub to hub, whether on or off these limited-access facilities. Benefits such as safety, fuel efficiency, staffing for long-haul trips, and a strengthened supply chain turn enable broader deployment which can enable movement from one transportation system to another. Infrastructure Enablers and Automated Vehicles: Trucking focuses on unresolved issues between the automated vehicle industry and infrastructure owners and operators that stand in the way of using infrastructure—both physical and digital—to extend use cases for automated trucking to more operational design domains (ODDs). The report also examines opportunities and recommendations related the integration of automated trucking across transportation networks and the supply chain. The topics include road conditions and lane marking visibility, work zone navigation, transfer hubs, and facility design, as well as connected and electric charging infrastructure.
