Carbon Footprint Calculator for Departments of Transportation Highway & Non-Highway Land Uses

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Synthesize publicly-available data to create a computer model that calculates carbon footprint for DOT-centric development. Inputs are needed for embodied carbon, carbon burned during construction and maintenance, and carbon sequestered…

Critical Review of Vehicle Emission Estimates of Uncontrolled Components of Particulate Matter

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

There are many air pollution emission components associated with motor vehicles, which historically have been subjected to stricter and stricter environmental controls, including running exhaust, crankcase running exhaust, cold start,…

Kinetic Energy Generation for Transportation Use: Feasibility Study

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Wherever there is the motion there is the possibility of producing kinetic energy. The heavier and more consistent the motion – the more energy is produced. This concept can be…

Mining Vehicle Probe Data to Establish Vehicle Activity Distributions on the National Highway System

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The use of mobile source emissions models is inescapable for many regulatory, planning, and research applications in the air quality and transportation field. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s MOVES…

Effective Transportation Agency Practices to Support Healthy Food Accessibility

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The problems of food deserts, access to healthy foods, and food system sustainability are usually framed as land use, economic development, environmental, and/or food policy problems, not as transportation problems.…

Quantifying the Contribution of Vehicle Emissions to Local Air Quality

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The purpose of this research is to evaluate modeling techniques and ambient measurements to comprehensively understand and explain vehicle emissions contributions to local air quality. The research will consist of…

Assessing the efficacy of culverts designed with Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) consideration

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has built a number of structures to facilitate Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) over the last decade, several of which have been designed in accordance…

The effects of contaminated soil and ground water on subsurface utilities, surface water, drainage, and the environment.

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Transportation projects are often constructed and maintained in the presence of soil and ground water contaminated with petroleum, solvents, and other toxic and hazardous substances. Subsurface utilities and drainage structures…

Guidebook for building expert-based predictive habitat models for threatened and endangered species

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

State transportation agencies face an increasing number of federally listed species that need to be incorporated into planning processes, while needing to do so within a constrained budget. Each transportation…

Development of a “Manual” of Standard Practice for the Restoration Historic Bridges

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Development of a “manual” of standard practice for restoring historic bridges would be of great help to the practicing engineer. Civil Engineering curriculum typically doesn’t teach in detail regarding wrought…
