RV 2014: Space Exploration: Innovative Parking Tools + StrategiesRail~Volution
This document summarizes the Right Size Parking project which aims to balance parking supply and demand. It finds that on average, multifamily buildings supply 1.4 parking spaces per unit but only utilize 1 space per unit. A statistical model was developed that can predict parking demand. Code analyses found that most jurisdictions require more parking than predicted. Demonstration projects are assessing parking pricing, shared parking districts, and developing model codes and parking management strategies.
This document summarizes a study conducted by Caltrans to evaluate traffic management plan (TMP) strategies. The most effective strategies found were public awareness campaigns and construction strategies like lane requirement charts and extended closures. Public awareness, like advance signage and media coverage, was highly effective at influencing public behavior to reduce delays. Construction strategies that maximized work windows, like extended weekend closures, were also very impactful. While TMP strategies have costs, the study found the cost savings from reduced delays often outweighed the strategy costs. The document concludes with recommendations to standardize and streamline the TMP process.

This document discusses using AusRAP risk mapping and the RAA's highway reviews to assess Australia's national highway network. AusRAP utilizes video surveys, coding software, and statistical analysis to produce star ratings and safer roads investment plans. However, it can take over a year to finalize the data. Highway reviews provide a more timely subjective assessment from a motorist's perspective and can identify issues not apparent in video. The best approach is to combine AusRAP's scientific analysis with the RAA's highway reviews to provide a well-rounded assessment of road safety issues.

It discusses collecting pavement data, measuring performance through IRI and NSI metrics, analyzing the system using a Pavement Optimization Program for life-cycle cost analysis, prioritizing treatments, and setting performance targets. It outlines Nebraska's objectives to maintain pavements in good repair, optimize budgets, and meet or exceed asset lifespans. Key aspects of the management process include automated and manual data collection, deterioration modeling, treatment decision trees, and a risk-based approach to prioritizing projects.
This document summarizes a Citizens Technical Advisory Committee meeting about a PD&E study for improvements to SR 90/SW 8th Street at SR 973/SW 87th Avenue. The goals of the PD&E study are to develop and evaluate engineering and environmentally feasible alternatives, evaluate potential impacts, and involve the public. The project is needed due to failing traffic levels of service in 2040 without improvements. The build concept under consideration is an east-west overpass to alleviate congestion while minimizing environmental and community impacts. Public involvement opportunities were outlined.
The document summarizes the first educational meeting of the North Carolina SimCap volunteer network. It includes an overview of the North Carolina SimCap organization, its objectives of developing professionals, strengthening relationships, and advancing the traffic simulation profession. It also summarizes two presentations on the history and activities of North Carolina SimCap and the application of transportation modeling and simulation in the planning process. Finally, it discusses the results of a survey on the network's objectives, preferred meeting topics and activities, and members' experience and interest in different traffic simulation tools.
A presentation given at the 2016 Traffic Safety Conference during Breakout Session 16: Engineering Countermeasures. By Mike Pratt, Assistant Research Engineer, Roadway Design, Texas A&M Transportation Institute
Presentation delivered by Richard Willis of NAPA providing an update on the latest research on asphalt pavements underwritten by NAPA, the Asphalt Institute and the State Asphalt Pavement Associations, including CalAPA. Presentation delivered at the California Asphalt Pavement Association (CalAPA) Spring Asphalt Pavement Conference April 25-26, 2018 in Ontario, CA.
The document discusses road safety audits and inspections that were conducted for transportation projects in India. It includes summaries of work done for the Hubli Dharwad BRT corridor, the Equal Streets initiative, and a bus terminal study in Mumbai. The roles included conducting audits, developing conceptual designs, preparing maps and plans, engaging stakeholders, and analyzing impacts on operations and passengers. Recommendations from the audits aimed to improve safety, accessibility, and efficiency for all road users.
Jason Sudy, AICP Founder, Principal Side Street Planning, Justin Robbins, AICP, Senior Planner, OHM Advisors and Rick Stein, AICP Founder, Principal Urban Decision Group present on how autonomous cars will fundamentally reshape our cities.
The document discusses transportation challenges facing Sunnyvale, California and proposals to implement bus rapid transit (BRT) along El Camino Real. It outlines how cities have historically addressed congestion through traffic engineering models that fail to account for induced demand. The document then analyzes four alternatives for El Camino Real, ranging from doing nothing to implementing full BRT. Full BRT is estimated to reduce travel times by 80% and increase ridership by 23%, while partially dedicated bus lanes and mixed traffic solutions offer more modest benefits. The document calls for community participation in planning a sustainable, socially inclusive, and economically dynamic transportation future for El Camino Real.

70. CLRS across the Nation and in NJ
CLRS create noise & vibration inside your vehicle
that alert you as you cross the center line.
11 state and one national study show that CLRS
reduces crossover crashes 18 to 64%.
NJDOT had a systematic program for CLRS from
2014 thru 2015.
All paving projects currently include CLRS on two
lane and multilane undivided highways.
71. Crash Data
Three Roadway Departure (RwD) Emphasis Areas
make up 75% of RwD crashes. CLRS helps reduce all
of them:
Head-on crashes
Rollover
Trees
72. Criteria
Centerline rumble strips are constructed at the
yellow centerline stripe, both passing & no
passing zones.
Rural & urban 2-Lane roads & multilane undivided
highways
Posted speed limits of 35 MPH or higher
10 foot minimum lane width (was 11 feet)
HMA pavement must be in good condition with a
surface distress index (SDI) greater than 3
73. Criteria
Centerline rumble strips shall not be constructed at
the following locations:
Street intersections: Construct to the end of
centerline stripe.
Along left turn slots and continuous two-way left-
turn median lanes
Bridge decks or concrete bridge approach slabs.

84. What is a
High Friction Surface Treatment?
• High Friction Surface Treatments (HFST) are
pavement surfacing overlay systems with:
exceptional skid-resistant properties that are not
typically acquired by conventional materials
retains the higher friction property for a much
longer time.
• Commercially available resin-based products
• Generally applied in short sections to improve safety
in spot locations where friction demand is critical.
86. HFST Binder Materials
• Polymer binder systems
• Epoxy-resin two-part systems
• Polyester-resin three part systems
• A laminate layer
that allows for
75% aggregate
embedment depth
87. HFST Aggregates
• Recommended aggregate is calcined bauxite
which is highly durable & provides the highest
resistance to polishing.

65 359 324 284 238 186 130 68
105. Things to consider for HFST use.
• Is safe speed on curve less than or equal to
posted speed. If yes, consider superelevating
curve and /or adding shoulder if practical. Added
shoulders and chevrons can attain a 70%
reduction in run off the road crashes (Illinois
DOT). Also place advisory speed signs.
• Chevrons can attain a 30 to 40% reduction in
crashes (Illinois DOT).
• When applying on ramps, upgrade signing
(advisory speed, chevrons, etc) and striping as
per current MUTCD).
106. Things to consider for HFST use.
• Clear fixed objects from clear zone such as trees.
50% of run off the road accidents involve a tree.
Trees are involved in 8 to 11 fatalities a day.
That’s 1 fatality every 2 to 3 hours in the US.
• Apply HFST on new pavement up to
approximately 3 years old. Condition rating > 3.2.
• Two applications needed for concrete bridge
decks and open graded friction course.
107. Weather to Apply HFST
• Min. Surface Temp.: 55 degrees
• Max. Ambient Temp.: 105 degrees
• May thru August construction
• Do not place HFST, if within 3 hours of HFST,
the National Weather Service locally forecasts
a 40 percent chance, or greater, of rain.
108. HFST is a great safety treatment
that happens to be a pavement!

128. Utility Risk - Considerations
Approach…..
Incorporate Utility work in the highway
construction contract
Risk Consideration…..
Utility work in the highway construction
contract is an excellent approach…. however,
the required utility construction staging must
be properly integrated.
129. Utility Risk - Considerations
Approach…..
Advance the utility relocation work.
Risk Consideration…..
Often advancing utility work requires more than
clearing and grubbing. Upfront work such as
significant rough grading, etc.
130. Utility Risk - Considerations
Approach…..
Utility Construction to follow the highway
construction staging.
Risk Consideration…..
Utility Construction often drives the highway
construction staging & sequencing.
131. Utility Risk - Considerations
Approach…..
A utility conflict is identified when there is a
“direct hit”
Risk Consideration…..
Very often “Indirect” utility conflicts are the
cause of costly and time consuming construction
field problem….sub-grade compaction, temporary
sheeting, construction vibrations, unstable cast iron utility,
utility staging, etc.

160. Utility Risk Mitigation - “Take-Away”
Frequent Statement…..
Utility Companies are delaying the project.
Reality Often is …..
An unanticipated “utility related” field issue ,not
properly identified during design, is the cause of
project delay.
161. Utility Risk Management
Effective Utility Risk Management
starts with an appropriate level
Subsurface Utility Engineering
(SUE) Investigation.
The presentation to follow will dig
deeper into the use and benefits
of SUE.
163. “…is a professional service and branch of engineering
that involves…
• managing certain risks associated with utility
mapping at appropriate quality levels,
• utility coordination,
• utility relocation design and coordination,
• utility condition assessment,
• communication of utility data to concerned parties,
• utility relocation cost estimates,
• implementation of utility accommodation policies, and utility design.”
What is Subsurface Utility Engineering?
164. Quality Level D – Information derived from existing utility records
or oral recollections.
Quality Level C – Surveying visible above-ground utility surface
features such as valves, pole drops, meter pits, and using
professional judgment in correlating this information to QLD
information.
Quality Level B –Using surface geophysical methods to
determine the existence and approximate horizontal position of
subsurface utilities.
Quality Level A – Using minimally intrusive excavation equipment
at a specific point to obtain vertical information along with type,
condition, size and material.
Depiction of Utilities as Quality Levels
166. Why use Subsurface Utility Engineering?
It’s been proven Cost Effective…..
COST SAVINGS ON HIGHWAY PROJECTS UTILIZING SUBSURFACE
UTILITY ENGINEERING
Prepared by Purdue University Department of Building Construction
Management, December 1999 Prepared for the Federal Highway
Administration, Washington, DC 20002 FHWA Contract Number
DTFH61-96-00090
The Pennsylvania Transportation Institute of the Pennsylvania State University
(PSU) conducted an in-depth benefit-cost analysis in 2007 of 10 SUE projects
executed by PennDOT Districts. The PSU research shows that, in comparison
with projects not utilizing SUE, the total cost savings of SUE projects may range
from 10% to 15% on a typical project.
“On January 10, 1996, a routine capital improvement project
caused damage to an electric cable at Newark International
Airport, resulting in more than $1 billion of impacts, including
hundreds of cancelled and re-routed flights, disruption of
travel to tens of thousands of people, and complete closure of
the airport for more than 24 hours. “
ACRP – Airport Cooperative Research Program Synthesis 34,
March 2012
THE ROOT CAUSES OF DELAYS IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
• The purpose of the survey was to obtain input from working professionals
concerning the most frequent causes of construction delay and delay
avoidance measures.
• Utilities and Utility Related Activities were #1 and #2
169. Benefits
“Since 1991, FHWA has been encouraging
the use of SUE on Federal-aid and direct
Federal highway projects as an integral part
of preliminary engineering.”

Using Subsurface Utility Engineering on Design Projects will:
• Reduce unforeseen utility conflicts and relocations
• Reduce claims and change orders
• Reduce delays due to utility cuts
• Lower project bids
• Reduce redesign costs
• Reduce project delays due to utility relocations
