The research team constructed a full-scale testing facility on Ohio State's University's campus to simulate stormwater runoff and sediment loading of a typical roadway construction project. Commonly available manufactured inlet protection products were compared to Ohio Environmental Protection Agency approved practices through a combination of performance and longevity testing. Based on the test results, the research team identified performance measures and material specifications of inlet protection devices to be used in developing a qualified product database and a procedure for assessing future devices. The research team also recommended new and updated inlet protection guidance for incorporation into ODOT's design document

Other title: Change detection of inventoried landslides using remote sensing techniques
No full text"November 2023."; Additional project information provided in email: SJN 136124, PID 111439; Researcher: Kevin White; Includes bibliographical references (pages 49-50); Final report; Sponsored by Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Statewide Planning & Research ; Contract or grant no. 34652This study evaluates the effectiveness of utilizing remotely sensed three-dimensional (3D) spatial data, including Light Detection and Ranging(lidar) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for interpreting change detections of eastern Ohio (Districts 5, 10, and 11) landslides. The performance of lidar methods used by specialty firm Teren were evaluated for their ability to detect 99 inventoried landslides, relative to field inspection surveys. The performance of InSAR methods used by specialty firm EO59 were evaluated for their ability to detect a subset of 15 inventoried landslides, relative to field inspection surveys. Four selected case studies are detailed to showcase the performance of these methods. Ultimately this work is anticipated to support the potential adoption of remote sensing technologies to supplement or substitute current ODOT landslide inventory field surveys. Our research team believes that in the near-term, the integration of lidar-based approaches with the landslide inventory can potentially increase landslide detection reliability and reduce overall costs. InSAR may additionally be considered for either indicating subtle movements for lower risk landslides, or frequently monitoring movements of higher risk landslide

No full textFinal report; Sponsoring agency: Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Statewide Planning & Research; Contract or grant no.: 34654; "March 2023."; "Project ID number: 111440; State job number: 136215"--Cover; "Performing organization name... Ohio Research Institute for Transportation and the Environment (ORITE)"--[Technical report documentation page]; Includes bibliographical references (pages 21-22)The project and risk management policies and strategies used by other DOTs in the country were evaluated. The purpose is to gain insight into how they measure and manage project development and delivery, and ultimately obtain ideas to improve ODOT's own project management methods. This project entailed a scan of state DOT online documents, a survey of state DOTs and follow-up interviews with selected states. Main findings of this project are: " Power BI and SQL is a commonly used tool amongst DOTs. However, most of the sampled and interviewed DOTs rely on spreadsheets for communications " Several DOTs reported the use of Monte Carlo Simulation for cost estimation. More importantly for this project, they use this method for identification and ranking of risks in a project " A common recommendation from interviews around project risk management is keep it simple and easy to communicat
Other title: Synthesis of ordinances/practices on mircromobility systems within Ohio
No full text"August 2023."; Additional project information provided in email: SJN 136186, PID 112864; Researcher: Eric Steinberg; "2021-ORIL6 Task#8"--[Technical report documentation page]; Includes bibliographical references (pages 21-22); Final report; Sponsored by Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Statewide Planning & Research ; Contract or grant no. 34878Ohio's transportation system has witnessed the inclusion of a new mode of travel - shared micromobility (i.e., scooters, e-bikes, and other methods). Shared-micromobility is beneficial, in that, it connects with the larger transportation system and increases the value of other available transportation options. Initially, there were mixed views on the adoption of micromobility devices, however many Ohio jurisdictions (cities, villages and townships) quickly recognized their importance as a mode of essential transportation. Jurisdictions moved to regulate micromobility devices by quickly developing regulations or ordinances, albeit taking different approaches. Moreover, local government have flexibility to establish laws in accordance with the powers of local self-government, otherwise known as Home Rule Authority. What this meant is that, there are many variants of legal ordinances/laws and/or different approaches available for regulation - raising concerns such as, how to standardize design of transportation facilities, how to ensure legal and permissible operations for any future deployments, and promoting standardized safety, enforcement, and efficient operations. By completing a series of tasks (detailed review of literature, reviewing and summarizing Ohio's current ordinances, and interviews with select practitioners) this study reconciles the changing regulatory landscape and presents a comprehensive document summarizing information relating to the adoption of micromobility systems within the state of Ohio. This document provides a preferred range of regulations and regulatory practices to ensure jurisdictions expecting to deploy micromobility systems have a basis for regulation that they can use as a framewor

The goal of the research is to provide the recommendations necessary for the Office of Environmental Services (OES) to establish a geophysical survey program. Gray & Pape, Inc., conducted a literature review, and the results provide two main conclusions: 1) the rate of success of a geophysical survey increases as more technologies are used; and 2) the more diverse the types of geophysical equipment used on a particular project, the more likely it is that the geophysical surveys will yield quality data that can be used to help guide future decisions. Gray & Pape, Inc., recommends that the ODOT's Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center (UAS) operate the geophysical survey program under a cooperative agreement with OES, and with the support of archaeologists from that office. Leveraging in-house capabilities will make the geophysical program operational, sustainable, and successful; save labor and expense costs under this research project that can be allocated for more investment into reconfiguring and upgrading in-house instruments; and purchase new instruments, software, and licensing, which will ultimately provide a higher return on investment and a more operationally sound, sustainable, and successful program than thought possible as this research project was originally conceived--to build the geophysical survey program capacity within OES alon
Optimizing the performance of item 404-low volume traffic mixes
No full textFinal report; "March 2023."; "State job number 136343"--Cover; Additional project information provided in email: PID 114248; Includes bibliographical references (Page 20 of Final report); Sponsored by Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Statewide Planning & Research; Contract or grant number: 36573Final report (vii, 109 pages) -- [Fact sheet] (2 unnumbered pages)Most local public agencies (LPAs) in Ohio follow the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) specifications for designing asphalt mixtures placed on low-volume roads, with the majority of these agencies using Type 1 surface mixes prepared using PG 64-22 asphalt binders. As an alternative, some LPAs use a mix known as 404LVT, which is a fine-graded recipe mix that is rich in asphalt binder and can be placed at a thickness of 1 inch to correct minor surface distresses. The main goal of this study was to optimize the 2015 404LVT specifications developed by Flexible Pavements of Ohio (FPO) for use by LPAs in Ohio on low-volume local roads. To achieve this objective, information was collected about the current state-of-the-practice for using 404LVT mixes in Ohio. In addition, a laboratory testing plan was designed and executed using materials collected from different asphalt plants across Ohio. This research project also involved evaluating the field condition of pavement sections constructed using 404LVT mixes. Based on the outcome of the laboratory test plan and the pavement condition evaluations, several recommendations were made to improve the performance of 404LVT mixes. In addition, recommendations were made to modify the 404LVT specifications in order to make the mix more cost-effective without compromising its performanc
