Investigation of Low Visibility Related Crashes in Florida [Summary]
No full textBDV24-977-31Researchers from the University of Central Florida developed a methodology for identifying areas of increased fog and/or smoke crashes in Florida. They focused on these areas to develop a more detailed map of specific hotpots
Strength Envelopes of Florida Rock and Intermediate Geomaterials [Summary]
No full textBDV31-977-51University of Florida researchers were tasked with testing cores from locations across the state to characterize the material properties, develop a strength envelope, and provide bearing capacity equations for shallow foundation design
Large Truck Crash Analysis for Freight Mobility and Safety Enhancement in Florida [Summary]
Full text linkBDV26-977-02Trucks have been a critical link in the delivery of U.S. goods for over a hundred years. Whether carrying freight between cities or distributing freight delivered by trains, planes, or ships, trucks are moving day and night. With Florida\u2019s large population and very active ports, semis are common on Florida highways. Unfortunately, with so many vehicles on Florida\u2019s roads, large trucks are involved in collisions from time to time. Even a minor incident with a large truck can cause significant delays, with ripple effects on hundreds of homes and businesses
Evaluation of Long-Life Concrete Pavement Practices for Use in Florida : [Summary]
No full textBDK75 977-48Current Florida construction practices produce asphalt pavements with a service life of 12 to 20 years before needing rehabilitation; concrete pavements are typically designed for 20 years. However, pavements with much longer design lives are possible. Increased traffic on roadways, costs due to maintenance-related traffic delays, and increasing construction costs have led the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to evaluate various pavement design parameters which would yield pavement service lives of 50 years or more
Preparing Florida for deployment of SafetyAnalyst for all roads : [summary].
No full textBDK80 977-07Safety on Florida\u2019s roads is a top priority for theFlorida Department of Transportation (FDOT).Identifying and prioritizing locations with highpotential for safety improvement is the criticalstep in roadway safety management. Newtechnologies help achieve this goal through betterdata collection and analysis, examining trafficdata and revealing patterns that focus plannersand designers on specific road configurations
Development of Statistical Models to Predict the Compressibility of Florida\u2019s Soils [Summary]
No full textBDV24-977-24University of Central Florida researchers identified statistical models best suited for predicting compressibility parameters of Florida soils based on basic soil index parameters obtained during a geotechnical site investigation. For these models, they identified critical soil index properties to correlate compressibility parameters with laboratory consolidation test results as well as a common field test, the cone penetration test (CPT)
Use of Dynamic Traffic Assignment in FSUTMS in Support of Transportation Planning in Florida [Summary]
Full text linkBDK80 977-12Transportation planning is based on the physicalstructure of roadway networks and, lesstangibly, on choices individuals make about theirtransportation needs and use of the roads. For atask this complex, computer modeling is essential.In Florida, transportation planning often usesthe Florida Standard Urban Transportation ModelStructure (FSUTMS) to provide a consistency ofdata and approach. Currently, demand forecastingin FSUTMS uses static traffic assignment, in whichproperties of transportation networks, such astravel times and flow rates, are constant overtime and drivers are described homogeneously.Dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) could greatlyadvance FSUTMS by allowing scenarios in whichtransportation measures vary with time anddrivers are treated as individuals, permitting newlevels of detail and precision, thus supportingbetter demand and performance forecasting
Before and After-Implementation Studies of Advanced Signal Control Technologies in Florida [Summary]
Full text linkBDV32-977-05University of Florida researchers evaluated ATSC operation on several corridors in Florida, before and after installation of ATSC, documenting advantages and disadvantages of different approaches and implementations
