National Synthesis of Successful Strategies for Managing Post-World War II Resources in Identification Surveys

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

This study would be a follow-up to the 2008 NCHRP study on post-World War II housing and specifically focus on identifying strategies employed by state DOTs to manage the exponential…

Deicing of Roadways Using Reclaimed Salt-rich Biochar Obtained from Roadside Halophytes

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Every year more than 22 million tons of salt (primarily NaCl) and other de-icing agents are applied to U.S. roads to maintain safe driving conditions in inclement weather. These chemicals…

Assessing Water Contamination Levels from Bridge Deck Runoff in Virginia

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Bridge maintenance along with traffic, weather, and other related activities are continuous sources of pollution for the water bodies under the bridge. In Virginia, where are more than 10,000 bridges,…

Develop tools and procedures to model impacts of near-road barriers on near-road pollutant concentrations

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

RESEARCH PROBLEM STATEMENT Interstate highway improvement projects that are deemed to have traffic noise impacts result in near-road barrier walls being constructed or expanded. Although the barriers are designed and…

Noise Barrier Materials and Maintenance Costs

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Noise Barrier Maintenance Costs: the scope of the project consists of surveying state DOTs to determine the annual (or periodic) maintenance costs of noise barriers (by material type). The results…

Traffic Induced Impacts and their Characterization in Air Dispersion Models

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The purpose of this research is to evaluate dispersion models and understand their current limitations using data collected from tracer studies conducted at locations with complex real-world traffic flow patterns.…

Methods for State DOTs to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Transportation

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

A number of states have established goals for reducing GHG emissions from the transportation sector but many suggested changes are outside the jurisdiction of State DOTs (efficiency standards, land-use, etc.). …

Wood Chips Colonized by “Wild” Fungi for Stormwater Petroleum Reduction

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Research Idea Scope: Background: Petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants are present in stormwater runoff at most transportation facilities, and reducing their levels is a common requirement in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System…

Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Environmental Risk & Compliance Assessment

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have garnered a great deal of interest in the transportation community. This proposed research will examine the use of UAS for environmental risk assessment and environmental…

Evaluating CMAQ Projects in Terms of Cost Effectiveness, Performance Measures, and Multi-pollutant Benefits

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The Congestion Management and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) has existed since 1991 providing benefits by reducing air pollution. This program has evolved over the years and will be entering…
