Other title: Commodity storage

University of Cincinnati"--page 2.; "Prepared in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration"--page 3.; Additional information provided in email: Sate job number 136522Final report (21 pages) -- [Fact sheet] (2 unnumbered pages)The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) faces challenges in maintaining its extensive infrastructure for winter road maintenance, which includes the use of over 600,000 tons of salt stored in more than 300 facilities statewide. The current approach to building and replacing these salt storage structures is costly and complex. Traditional construction methods, with costs that can exceed $1M, appear to have a short lifespan around 25 years or less. ODOT is seeking innovative, cost-effective, durable, and environmentally responsible solutions to improve salt storage and reduce long-term expenditures. The research aimed to evaluate existing construction methods and materials for salt storage facilities. It identified common maintenance issues associated with tensioned fabric structures, which are currently the standard for new salt storage facilities at ODOT. The study also explored salt storage practices in other states and examined alternative commodity storage methods used in different industries. An in-depth cost analysis was conducted to assess the feasibility of post-frame buildings as a potential alternative to tensioned fabric structures. Additionally, a life cycle cost analysis was performed to compare the initial construction costs and long-term maintenance expenses of tensioned fabric and post-frame structures. Research results suggest that disconnection of the covering and salt containment structure is likely to reduce corrosion and maintenance. Salt containment via bunker panels is common in other states and is less expensive (~30% savings) given Ohio now has access to locally made precast panels. Post frame structures also appeared to save 25-46% over tensioned fabric structures over the long-term considering historical maintenance trends and frequencies

Title from Technical report documentation page: Bats and bridges : integrating biology and cloud-based modeling
No full textFinal report; "Prepared in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration"--Credits and acknowledgments page; Sponsored by the Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Statewide Planning & Research ; Project ID number: 118513 ; Contract or grant number: 38589; "April 2024."; Additional information provided in email: Sate job number: 136693; Includes bibliographical references (pages 21-23 of Final report)inal report (39 numbered pages) -- [Fact sheet] (2 unnumbered pages)Accurately predicting bat use of bridges is an important need for planning of bridge repair and maintenance. However, less than 1% of bridges in Ohio have been surveyed for bats, limiting the inferences that can be drawn from existing data and modelling tools. We developed a method for passive camera surveys of bat use of bridges and reevaluated ODOT's existing tools for predicting bat use of bridges. We were able to create a model that predicts the likelihood that a bridge will be used by bats as roosting habitat. Currently, the data feeding into the model has few positive detections, thus resulting in a model that performs well when determining bridges without bats but leaves room for improvement on determining bridges with bats. With future bridge surveys, the model will improve and the usability of the likelihood predictions will be able to be implemented to aid in bridge managemen

Additionally, such conditions can disrupt traffic flow on highways, causing speed reductions, decreased highway capacity, or even complete traffic lockdowns. Most Departments of Transportation (DOTs) in snowy regions rely on Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) as their primary source of weather data. However, RWIS has several limitations including downtime, erroneous data due to system or equipment failure, and the high cost of installation and operation, resulting in a limited number of stations across states. This necessitates the need for alternative weather data sources to complement RWIS. The primary goal of this project is to identify alternative sources of weather data to supplement and complement the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) RWIS for winter maintenance operations. Several sources have been identified from the literature that can provide alternative weather data. Based on the accessibility and reliability of these data sources, four potential sources are proposed that can be used by ODOT: Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS), Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS), and Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor System (MRMS). The research team developed and implemented data scraping frameworks that can be integrated into the ODOT snow and ice performance and evaluation too
