AIR QUALITY IS TYPICALLY MEASURED BY RESOURCE AGENCIES USING VERY EXPENSIVE STATIONARY MONITORING EQUIPMENT. THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE BEST LOW COST AIR QUALITY SENSORS FOR DOT AIR QUALITY SPECIALISTS IS…
Air quality project-level analyses (PLAs) that state DOTs are required to prepare for purposes of NEPA and the EPA transportation conformity rule have become more complicated, time-consuming and costly in…
Climate change in terms of severe weather events is impacting severely the road infrastructure throughout the world. To design, construct and operate all weather roads in cost effective manner is…
Fog induced visibility reduction is imposing a serious threat to safety, has limited traffic movements along highways and has so many indirect effect on economy and human life during winters…
This study will develop a compost blended with phosphorus sorption media mix (Mix), which will treat highways stormwater runoff while limiting phosphorus leaching. Compost effectively removes metals and other pollutants…
RESEARCH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRAFFIC NOISE, NOISE WALLS, NOISE REDUCTIONS, TRAFFIC, AIR QUALITY, AND ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS VIA 24/7 WEATHER, TRAFFIC, AND NOISE STATIONS.
Stormwater treatment of bridge deck runoff has always been a tough design challenge. Traditional methods of treating bridge deck runoff suggest piping stormwater off the bridge and treating it on…
State DOTs would benefit from guidance that goes beyond the norm on how to conduct modeling for project-level air quality analyses and addresses which modeling inputs are the most cost-effective…
The optimal slope of approaches to highway overpasses for wildlife does not appear to be well documented. Understanding slope constraints could inform the design of overpass structures along the nation’s…
I would like to see a study review the current relevance of Section 4(f) in terms of preservation of historic properties. Has it outlived its purpose, and now acts more as…
