Book Synopsis Construction Costs and Safety Impacts of Work Zone Traffic Control Strategies by : E. N. Burns
Download or read book Construction Costs and Safety Impacts of Work Zone Traffic Control Strategies written by E. N. Burns and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research was performed to determine total costs (construction and road user costs) and safety impacts associated with traffic control through work zones on rural four-lane, divided highways using single lane closure (SLC) versus two-lane, two-way traffic operations (TLTWO). An informational guide for use in selecting cost-effective traffic control strategies for proposed construction projects was also prepared. Construction data were collected from 51 construction projects in 11 States, and traffic capacity delay studies were conducted at 25 projects in 10 States. Guidelines are presented in this report for selection of the best traffic control alternative between SLC and TLTWO. A simplified procedure to estimate road user costs for SLC and TLTWO traffic control strategies is also included. This guide is Volume II of a two-volume series. Volume I (FHWA-RD-89-209) is the final report.
Book Synopsis Evaluation of Traffic Flow Analysis and Road User Cost Tools Applied to Work Zones by :
Download or read book Evaluation of Traffic Flow Analysis and Road User Cost Tools Applied to Work Zones written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has used QUEWZ to estimate road capacities for proposed lane closures which fall outside of the Permitted Lane Closure Map, as per Policy No. 21-008(P). The resulting capacity is included in the process for predicting queue lengths outlined in Section 640-13.2 of ODOT's Traffic Engineering Manual. QUEWZ is also identified in ODOT's Innovative Contracting Manual to estimate the capacities for calculating road user costs. The current problem is that QUEWZ is not compatible with current versions of Windows and no longer supported by the developer. Therefore, ODOT needs a replacement for QUEWZ. A new queue analysis tool was developed to meet the needs of the ODOT District Work Zone Traffic Managers for conducting queue length analyses. It is based on the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual capacity formulation for short term work zones and estimates the size and length of the queue and the associated delay for up to 24, 1 hour time intervals. A new road user cost tool was also developed, which calculates the travel costs, operating costs and crash costs of roadway construction projects, suitable for establishing monetary incentives for innovative contracting methods. These tools replace the use of QUEWZ and two existing ODOT spreadsheets.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to transportation agency planners; design, construction, and maintenance engineers; and administrators, managers, economists, and other decisionmakers involved in programming highway pavement projects. This synthesis describes current practice with regard to road user and mitigation costs in highway pavement projects. Information for the synthesis was collected by surveying U.S. and Canadian transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search of both domestic and foreign publications. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides detailed information on the various methods employed by transportation agencies to estimate user costs. The advantages and disadvantages of each are reported. Information on the various components of user costs (that is, time related, vehicle operating, safety, and environmental costs) is also included. In addition, the study reports on the various mitigation strategies available to agencies to reduce user costs. Information is also provided on how user costs and mitigation strategies have been applied to evaluate different alternatives; and how uncertainties, political considerations, and quality control contribute to the decisionmaking process.

Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Book Synopsis Construction Manager-at-risk Project Delivery for Highway Programs by : Douglas D. Gransberg
Download or read book Construction Manager-at-risk Project Delivery for Highway Programs written by Douglas D. Gransberg and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2010 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 402: Construction Manager-at-Risk Project Delivery for Highway Programs explores current methods in which state departments of transportation and other public engineering agencies are applying construction manager-at-risk (CMR) project delivery to their construction projects. CMR project delivery is an integrated team approach to the planning, design, and construction of a highway project, to help control schedule and budget, and to help ensure quality for the project owner. The team consists of the owner; the designer, who might be an in-house engineer; and the at-risk construction manager. The goal of this project delivery method is to engage at-risk construction expertise early in the design process to enhance constructability, manage risk, and facilitate concurrent execution of design and construction without the owner relinquishing control over the details of design as it would in a design-build project.

Book Synopsis Air Quality Impacts of Highway Construction and Scheduling by : Dennis G. Perkinson
Download or read book Air Quality Impacts of Highway Construction and Scheduling written by Dennis G. Perkinson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) has resulted in several urban areas in Texas being designated non-attainment areas. While the non-attainment areas are acting to improve air quality, several near non-attainment areas need to act to maintain their air quality at current levels to avoid being designated a non-attainment area. These areas are reviewing several transportation-related strategies to reduce emissions and prevent further degradation of air quality. One option already being implemented is the observation of ozone action days that encourage citizens to seek alternative modes of travel such as transit and car pool/van pool on days conducive to the formation of high ozone levels. Alternative highway construction practices may also offer air quality benefits, especially on ozone action days. Reconstruction and rehabilitation activities requiring lane closures on high-volume roadways result in traffic congestion and delays. The traffic congestion caused by construction activities and the materials and equipment used in construction may aggravate the air quality problem in non-attainment areas, especially during hot summer months when atmospheric conditions lead to the formation of high ozone levels. There is a need to determine the impact of highway construction on air quality and to determine alternative construction practices designed to minimize the detrimental effects on ambient air quality.
