As a reliever airport for the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Phoenix–Mesa Gateway Airport must keep track of information for nearly 300,000 aircraft operations and 1.4 million passengers a year. To meet this challenge, the airport developed an innovative, digitally connected solution with the help of ACRP Research Report 182: Guidancefor Planning, Design, and Operationsof Airport Com...

Analysis of the erodibility of geomaterials is important for the study of problems related to soil erosion such as bridge scour, embankment overtopping erosion, and stream stability. Erodibility is the relationship between the soil erosion rate and fluid velocity or hydraulic shear stress. Since different soils have different geotechnical properties, their erosion rates vary. The TRB National C...

Accurate traffic forecasts for highway planning and design help ensure that public dollars are spent wisely. Forecasts inform discussions about whether, when, how, and where to invest public resources to manage traffic flow, widen and remodel existing facilities, and where to locate, align, and how to size new ones. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Report 934: Traff...

Auxiliary safety data are presented in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) Auxiliary Datasets Analytical User’s Manual, 1982-2018 , a manual from The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This manual includes elements that make it easier to extract certain data classifications and topical areas, such as commonly used age groups, crashes due to speeding, and crashes due ...

Historical coding practices of safety data are documented in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) from 1975 to 2018 , a manual from The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This manual aims to enable the users to become familiar with the FARS data system. FARS is used to identify highway safety problem areas, provide a basis for regulatory and consumer information initi...

The condition of sidewalks and pathways affect all pedestrians, but people with disabilities, older adults, and injured veterans are especially affected by them. For instance, among wheelchair users surveyed in the U.S., the wheelchair and the physical environment were the most significant factors limiting community participation. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Progra...

Asset performance and condition data specifications are described in Standardization of ITS Technology Asset Management Datasets , a report from Austroads. The report discusses an asset criticality assessment, a performance evaluation and failure impact assessment, proposed specifications, and case studies. The report is available for no fee after logging onto the site.

Cost data on motor carrier operations are outlined in An Analysis of the Operational Costs of Trucking: 2019 Update , a report from the American Transportation Research Institute. This report, which includes the most recent 2019 cost data, may assist the trucking industry with gathering operational cost data.

Traffic crash data in Kentucky is documented in Analysis of Crash Data in Kentucky (2014-2018) , a report from the Kentucky Transportation Center at the University of Kentucky. The goal of this report is to provide data for use in preparing the problem identification portion of Kentucky’s Annual Highway Safety Plan.
