Book Synopsis The Effect of Vehicle Length on Traffic on Canadian Two-lane, Two-way Roads by : D. Good
Download or read book The Effect of Vehicle Length on Traffic on Canadian Two-lane, Two-way Roads written by D. Good and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of the Vehicle Weights and Dimensions Study was to improve uniformity in size and weight regulations in interprovincial trucking in Canada. Once this was achieved, it became evident that there remained a range of related issues which were in need of investigation but which were not directly addressed by this research program. The interaction of trucks with other elements of the traffic stream is such an issue. In 1989, under the sponsorship of TAC's Research and Development Council, work was carried out by a Project Advisory Committee to develop a plan for research which would address the effect of vehicle length on traffic on two-lane, two-way roads in Canada. In January, 1990, a workshop was held to review the state of research and understanding of the preceeding issues, and to identify those which remained as relevant, viable areas for investigation. Consequently, in the spring of 1990 TAC initiated Phase I of this study under the sponsorship of the Research and Development Council and the Council of Deputy Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety with the overall goal to : Evaluate the safety and level of service effects of vehicle length on traffic on two-lane, two-way roads in Canada. In January, 1991, the Research and Development Council agreed to sponsor a working session with the project's advisory committee and selected experts in the field. The objective of this session was to decide if the project should continue with a Phase II and if so, prepare the workplan and proposal for this additional work. The following report presents : (i) a summary of the findings contained in the Technical Report; (ii) the results of the working session in light of the objectives outlined above; (iii) implications of the work performed for this project to other TAC committees; and (iv) recommendations from this project's advisory committee to TAC's Research and Development Council. As such, it should be viewed as a supplement to the 1991 Technical Report and read in conjunction with the Technical Report.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the completion of the vehicle weights and dimensions research program in 1986, the implementation planning committee was charged with the responsibility of developing a plan to implement regulatory reform that would result in uniformity in interprovincial truck size and weights in canada. this report lays out the recommended principles and limits which were developed in the context of the following objectives: 1) to encourage the use of the most stable heavy vehicle configurations through the implementation of practical, enforceable weight and dimensions limits, 2) to balance the available capacities of the national highway transportation system by encouraging the use of the most productive vehicle configurations relative to their impact on the infrastructure, and 3) to provide the motor transport industry with the ability to serve markets across canada using safe, productive, nationally acceptable equipment. the recommendations cover all aspects of tractor/trailer size and weight limits, including wheelbase, axle spacing, fifth wheel offset, rear overhang, track width, drawbar length, tire and suspension type, and overall height, width, length and weight. this report is a revised edition of the original draft report issued in june 1986 (irrd 291089).

Book Synopsis Vehicle Weight and Dimension Regulations and Canada's Trucking Industry by : F. P. Nix
Download or read book Vehicle Weight and Dimension Regulations and Canada's Trucking Industry written by F. P. Nix and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research originated at the time of the announcement of the major study by the Roads and Transportation Association of Canada and the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators study into heavy vehicle weight and dimension regulations. This study attempts to put together an understanding of how the twelve sets of weight and dimension regulations in Canada work, where the major differences are, and what the implications are. The report describes the impact of the regulations in terms of how they affect the design of truck combinations, how the vehicles that result affect trucking costs and rates, how the different regulations have affected the characteristics of truck fleets in various parts of the country, and how individual operators make decisions in terms of their own operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The movement of goods across Canada by road is restricted by different combinations of vehicle weight and dimension (VWD) regulations set by the various provincial and territorial governments. Uniform regulations to facilitate truck movement across the country are of prime concern for both federal and provincial levels of government as well as the trucking and railway industries. Proposed VWD regulation scenarios by the Roads and Transportation Association of Canada (RTAC) have been developed towards this purpose, and in February 1988 the national Council of Transportation Ministers adopted a set of uniform regulations to be implemented acroos Canada. In addition, the four western provinces have agreed to further changes in VWD regulations allowing greater weights and dimensions for road transportation in Western Canada. This study will develop and present a mathematical model using the most recent data available, to forecast the effects of changing trucking service characteristics as a result of these agreements on the market share of freight carried by trucking and railway modes in the commodity classification Fabricated materials, inedible. Model development will involve the use of origin/destination socio-economic indicators and modal service variables in combination with published freight tonnage statistics for interprovincial movement in the Statistics Canada classification Fabricated materials, inedible. The developed model will be used to determine the impact on the freight transportation market of the proposed VWD regulations approved by the Council of Transportation Ministers and those approved in the Western Agreement. This study is an attempt to identify the impact of these proposed regulations on the competing railway and trucking modes. Specifically, the impacts of the proposed regulations on the rail transportation industry and the necessary improvements in its service characteristics to retain rail's existing market share of freight will be determined. For the covering abstract of this Conference see IRRD abstract number 853851.

This book was released on 2005-07-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB Special Report 267 - Regulation of Weights, Lengths, and Widths of Commercial Motor Vehicles recommends the creation of an independent public organization to evaluate the effects of truck traffic, pilot studies of new truck designs, and a change in federal law authorizing states to issue permits for operation of larger trucks on the Interstates. In 1991, Congress placed a freeze on maximum truck weights and dimensions. Some safety groups were protesting against the safety implications of increased truck size and weight, and the railroads were objecting to the introduction of vehicles they deemed to have an unfair advantage. Railroads, unlike trucking firms, must pay for the capital costs of their infrastructure. The railroads contend that large trucks do not pay sufficient taxes to compensate for the highway damage they cause and the environmental costs they generate. Although Congress apparently hoped it had placed a cap on maximum truck dimensions in 1991, such has not proven to be the case. Carriers operating under specific conditions have been able to seek and obtain special exceptions from the federal freeze by appealing directly to Congress (without any formal review of the possible consequences), thereby encouraging additional firms to seek similar exceptions. In the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, Congress requested a TRB study to review federal policies on commercial vehicle dimensions. The committee that undertook the study that resulted in Special Report 267 found that regulatory analyses of the benefits and costs of changes in truck dimensions are hampered by a lack of information. Regulatory decisions on such matters will always entail a degree of risk and uncertainty, but the degree of uncertainty surrounding truck issues is uunusually high and unnecessary. The committee concluded that the uncertainty could be alleviated if procedures were established for carrying out a program oof basic and applied research, and if evaluation and monitoring were permanent components of the administration of trucking regulations. The committee recommended immediate changes in federal regulations that would allow for a federally supervised permit program. The program would permit the operation of vehicles heavier than would normally be allowed, provided that the changes applied only to vehicles with a maximum weight of 90,000 pounds, double trailer configurations with each trailer up to 33 feet, and an overall weight limit governed by the federal bridge formula. Moreover, enforcement of trucks operating under such a program should be strengthened, and the permits should require that users pay the costs they occasion. States should be free to choose whether to participate in the permit program. Those that elected to do so would be required to have in place a program of bridge management, safety monitoring, enforcement, and cost recovery, overseen by the federal government. The fundamental problem involved in evaluating proposals for changes in truck dimensions is that their effects can often only be estimated or modeled. The data available for estimating safety consequences in particular are inadequate and probably always will be. Thus, the committee that conducted this study concluded that the resulting analyses usually involve a high degree of uncertainty. What is needed is some way to evaluate potential changes through limited and carefully controlled trials, much as proposed new drugs are tested before being allowed in widespread use. The committee recommended that a new independent entity be created to work with private industry in evaluating new concepts and recommending changes to regulatory agencies. Limited pilot tests would be required, which would need to be carefully designed to avoid undue risks and ensure proper evaluation. Special vehicles could be allowed to operate under carefully controlled circumstances, just as oversize and overweight vehicles are allowed to operate under special permits in many states. Changes in federal laws and regulations would be required to allow states to issue such permits on an expanded network of highways, under the condition that a rigorous program of monitoring and evaluation be instituted.Special Report 269 Summary

Download or read book Engineering for Extremes written by Mark G. Stewart and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume explains how risk and decision-making analytics can be applied to the wicked problem of protecting infrastructure and society from extreme events. There is increasing research that takes into account the risks associated with the timing and severity of extreme events in engineering to reduce the vulnerability or increase the resiliency of infrastructure. "Engineering for extremes" is defined as measures taken to reduce the vulnerability or increase the resiliency of built infrastructure to climate change, hurricanes, storms, floods, earthquakes, heat waves, fires, and malevolent and abnormal events that include terrorism, gas explosions, vehicle impact and vehicle overload. The book introduces the key concepts needed to assess the economic and social well-being risks, costs and benefits of infrastructure to extreme events. This includes hazard modelling (likelihood and severity), infrastructure vulnerability, resilience or exposure (likelihood and extent of damage), social and economic loss models, risk reduction from protective measures, and decision theory (cost-benefit and utility analyses). Case studies authored by experts from around the world describe the practical aspects of risk assessment when deciding on the most cost-efficient measures to reduce infrastructure vulnerability to extreme events for housing, buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, pipelines, and electricity infrastructure in the developed and developing worlds.
