Integrating advance mitigation with regional planning
Regional advanced mitigation planning (RAMP) has been promoted by DOT/FHWA and others and several projects have been conducted. However, for a RAMP supporting an LRTP to be successful, it must…

In comparison to conventional tires, the low rolling resistance (LRR) tires often have higher prices, shorter mileage life, reduced wet and snow grip performances, and depending on the target market…
The objective of this project is to develop guidance on how to apply microscopic traffic simulation models to project level emissions analysis, focusing specifically on vehicle trajectory information. This project…
To comply with the transportation conformity requirements, state and local transportation agencies use various transportation strategies designed to reduce air pollutant emissions in nonattainment and maintenance areas by improving traffic…
This study presents thermal snow melting methods utilizing electric heating cable, geothermal, tunnel water heat, and solar that can be applicable for various locations on modern road networks. Compared with…
For project level analysis using MOVES model, detailed link level activity (volume, speed, source type mix, etc.) information are used to estimate link level emission rates or total emissions. Studies…
With rising concerns over climate change impacts and the resilience of urban infrastructures, cities are increasingly held accountable for their total carbon footprint and for their ability to identify and…
Invasive plant species can create nuisance maintenance issues and even dangerous conditions for the traveling public by affecting lines-of-sight, efficiency of roadside drainage, etc. The NCHRP Synthesis Report 341 on…
By spanning physical objects such as water features and valleys, bridges connect places of importance. These structures also provide a secondary benefit to wildlife as a means to navigate facilities…
This research would analyze the new California Truck Survey data to develop MOVES model inputs and compare inputs developed from this survey with other sources. It would also provide suggestions…
