The Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University has released a report that develops guidance about how husbandry loads are resisted by traditional bridges, with a specific focus on bridges commonly found on the secondary road system: steel-concrete, steel-timber, and timber-timber. This report also provides recommendations for accurately analyzing bridges for these loading effects, and offers suggestions for the rating and posting of these bridges.

The Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University has released a report that introduces a model that aims to more accurately estimate design and cost efforts for bridges.

The Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University has released a report that seeks to identify risk factors for traffic crashes on two facility types in Iowa: intersections and horizontal curves.

The Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University has released a report that discusses strategies for preventing or limiting premature joint deterioration due to salt reactivity and joint saturation.

The Texas A&M Transportation Institute has released a report that discusses how oversize/overweight (OS/OW) corridors are currently designated in Texas, and potential metrics that can be used for designated and monitoring OS/OW corridors.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has released a report that describes the development of a new engine weight surrogate model and High Pressure Compressor polytropic efficiency correction for the propulsion module in the Transport Aircraft OPTtimization (TASOPT) code.

The Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University has released a report that describes models and data that permit a quantitative assessment of the significance of park-and-ride on transit efficiency.

The University of Illinois Center for Transportation has released a report that assesses the practice of timber pile retrofitting; investigates load rating and fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) retrofitting of abutment timber piles; and considers the long-term performance of FRP-wrapped timber piles.

The Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University has released a report that assesses the most commonly available transit performance measures in California so as to develop statewide measures.

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) will host a webinar on March 30, 2016, from 12:00p.m - 1:00 p.m. that will explore ways to use the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Safety Data. Presenters will describe map-matching techniques to combine data from the Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) and Roadway Information Database (RID). This webinar is the second of a series geared towards helping the user community discuss the use of SHRP 2 Safety Data. Attendees should enter their ...
