Official Program, Springfield College vs. University of Rhode Island, October 30, 1965
No full textThe official program from the October 30, 1965 football game, Springfield College vs. University of Rhode Island. The game took place on the campus of University of Rhode Island. The program contains information on the two colleges, the lineups and information on the teams, and advertisements. Springfield won the game 7 to 6.The 1965 Springfield College Football team went 9-0-0 and remains the only College Football team to go undefeated and untied during a season. Springfield College’s opponents in ’65-'66 were the US. Coast Guard (30-14), Amherst College (13-0), Williams College (28-8), Colby College (42-13), Northeastern University (16-14), American International College (43-6), Rhode Island University (7-6), University of New Hampshire (43-13), and Wagner College (30-13). The game against Amherst College was televised on Channel 22 and was the first Western Mass football game ever televised in the region. The team received many honors, including Ted Dunn being named UPI New England College Division Coach of the Year and several players received honors including being selected for the All Decade Team. The team came in second to the University of Maine for selection for a bid to play in the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, FL, December 11, 1965
Evaluation of cyclic resistance of providence silts using mini-cone penetration and standard penetration tests.
Get PDFSPR-229-2292Most areas of coastal Rhode Island are underlain by thick layers of non-plastic silt and it is important toknow if the existing standard-of-practice liquefaction potential evaluations (e.g. Robertson and Wride (1998) orSeed et al. (1985)) are accurate. The objective of this research was to critically evaluate the applicability of CPTand SPT based approaches to Providence silts. This was accomplished through a laboratory testing programinvolving the URI mini-cone calibration chamber and cyclic triaxial tests to develop a new relationship betweencyclic resistance ratio and tip resistance for Providence silt. The new relationship was compared to the standard-ofpracticeliquefaction potential evaluation methods from the literature. There was good agreement between theapproaches which shows that the existing field-based CPT methods are applicable to Rhode Island silts. This isconsistent with previous RIDOT funded research on the liquefaction potential evaluation of silts in Rhode Island(Bradshaw et al. 2007; 2007a; Baxter et al. 2008).An attempt was also made to evaluate SPT-based approaches in silt using the mini-cone and laboratorycyclic data. A qc/N60 correlation was evaluated from two loose silt sites in Rhode Island where SPT and CPTswere performed adjacent to each other. The agreement between blow counts and tip resistance was very poor, mostlikely due to the small number of tests and small range of in situ densities. Because of the poor agreement, it wasnot possible to directly evaluate the SPT-based liquefaction evaluation approaches in the study

Studying the vehicle headway issue and its impact on the slow-down effect.
Get PDFURITC FY 06Project No. 0001852Tailgating is a dangerous driving behavior and is a major cause of rear-ended crashes. Finding effective means to help drivers maintain proper vehicle headways and to warn and discourage tailgating behavior is thus of utmost importance to traffic management authorities. This project presented a human-factors study, consisting of a vehicle headway analysis and a questionnaire survey, which was aimed to identify the causes of tailgating and to find effective means for tailgating treatments. In the vehicle headway analysis, vehicle headways on specific segments of major highways in Rhode Island were examined. With tailgating phenomenon confirmed from the analysis, the study next searched means to mitigate tailgating behavior. A questionnaire survey was conducted to find the leading causes of tailgating. Drivers\u2019 preferences on several tailgating treatments were surveyed. The results of the survey indicated that the majority considered \u201ctailgating\u201d a serious offense. Most of them, however, did not know what the proper vehicle headway was when driving on highways. Among the few different tailgating treatments, most preferred the one where equal-distanced horizontal bars were used as reference markings. They also indicated that properly designed dynamic message signs and fixed signs using both graphics and words could help them better understand the proposed tailgating treatment systems
Moving Smart in Rhode Island
Get PDFURI 536142Real-time transportation system information is a critical element in the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) is in the process of developing a fully integrated intelligent transportation system. This system is composed of the following: a transportation management center (TMC), dynamic messaging signs (DMS); closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras accompanied by video imaging process systems; and highway advisory radio (HAR). RIDOT plans to have the capability in the near future of monitoring and controlling several closed loop signalization systems, particularly alternate routes during an incident. To make this a reality, research is needed to ensure that the appropriate transportation data is captured and developed, as well as an appropriate information system is developed. This project's goal was to ensure the following: (1) that appropriate real-time operating conditions data are captured and developed automatically into a user-friendly format stipulating travel time or speed; and (2) that a real-time information system prototype is developed that supports monitoring, warehousing/mining, and concurrent access of data via the web; and (3) that an integrated system combines and extends the existing stand-alone systems.

Developing model asphalt systems using molecular simulation : final model.
No full textURI 2301 0000216, 2301 0000259Computer based molecular simulations have been used towards developing simple mixture compositions whosephysical properties resemble those of real asphalts. First, Monte Carlo simulations with the OPLS all-atom forcefield were used to predict the density, heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient, and isothermalcompressibility for small molecules similar to compounds found in asphalts. Similar calculations were thenperformed on a 3-component mixture for which detailed property measurements were available in the literature.Good agreement between simulation predictions and experiment (literature values) was found in all cases.Molecular dynamics simulations were then used to estimate the same properties for two asphalt-like mixtures.Different molecules were chosen to reflect the maltene, resin, asphaltene components of an asphalt, with eachmixture based on a different asphaltene structure taken from the literature. Different density, glass transition, andbulk modulus properties were found for the mixtures, indicating the effects of different asphaltene structures.Distributions in molecular orientation between molecules were also calculated, to learn the extent of predictedparallel vs. perpendicular ordering in the mixture. A key finding is that molecules tend to order ra
