The Virginia Department of Transportation has released a report that develops a safety improvement plan for unsignalized intersections using systemic low-cost countermeasures. Determining how and where to focus limited highway safety resources is an important step in reducing the number of fatal and injury crashes at unsignalized intersections in Virginia.

The Kansas Department of Transportation has released a report that describes software developed based on the simplified methods for load distribution on box culverts. The software aims to help the user calculate the magnitude and dimension of the distributed stress on the top of the culvert due to truck loading on a pavement.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has released a report that investigates the impact of MnDOT implementing a water/cementitious-based specification for concrete pavements. This report identifies the difference in concrete properties resulting from changes in concrete mixture designs driven by changes in MnDOT construction specifications.

The Kansas Department of Transportation has released a report that reviews various procedures for computing the shear strength of circular bridge piers. Analyzing circular columns may accurately predict their ultimate confined capacity under shear-flexure-axial force.

The Kansas Department of Transportation has released a report that provides an overview of University of Nebraska (NU) girders, including data to determine whether or not wide-scale adoption is warranted. Prestressed concrete bridge girders have evolved from traditional bulky shapes to efficient girder cross-sections with long spans and wide, thin top and bottom flanges, and it is possible that NU girders would be useful for bridges in Kansas.

The Washington State Department of Transportation has released a report that analyzes business needs for state departments of transportation (DOT) research projects and program management databases. The goal of this report is to provide foundational information for agencies wishing to develop or improve existing research programs and project management database systems (RPMD) and to explore options for future collective RPMD development activities.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has released a report that investigates causes of loose anchor bolts in support structures such as overhead signs, high-mast light towers, and tall traffic signals. This report proposes solutions for the loose bolts based on site surveying, field monitoring, laboratory study, and numerical analysis.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has released a report that explores using drones (UAS) as a tool for improving the quality of bridge inspections. This report represents the third phase of the research, and identifies new drone technology and methods to address limitations identified in Phase II of the project.

The Virginia Department of Transportation has released a report that identifies ways to plan and implement a non-motorized count program in Virginia, including an understanding of whom such a program would serve, how frequently data would need to be collected, and for what purposes. This report attempts to develop spatial and temporal patterns of non-motorized traffic volumes in order to assess exposure hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The Virginia Department of Transportation has released a report that examines a steel-reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced polymer structural element called the Hybrid-Composite Beam (HCB). The goal of this report is to determine how well HCB holds up as a structural component and as a bridge system.
