Book Synopsis Where the Weather Meets the Road by : National Research Council
Download or read book Where the Weather Meets the Road written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather has broad and significant effects on the roadway environment. Snow, rain, fog, ice, freezing rain, and other weather conditions can impair the ability of drivers to operate their vehicles safely, significantly reduce roadway capacity, and dramatically increase travel times. Multiple roadway activities, from roadway maintenance and construction to shipping, transit, and police operations, are directly affected by inclement weather. Some road weather information is available to users currently, however a disconnect remains between current research and operations, and additional research could yield important safety and economic improvements for roadway users. Meteorology, roadway technology, and vehicle systems have evolved to the point where users could be provided with better road weather information through modern information technologies. The combination of these technologies has the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of roadway operations, road capacity, and road safety. Where the Weather Meets the Road provides a roadmap for moving these concepts to reality.

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 Concept of Operations for Road Weather Connected Vehicle Applications by : U.s. Department of Transportation
Download or read book Concept of Operations for Road Weather Connected Vehicle Applications written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather has a significant impact on the operations of the nation's roadway system year round. These weather events translate into changes in traffic conditions, roadway safety, travel reliability, operational effectiveness, and productivity. It is, therefore, an important responsibility of traffic managers and maintenance personnel to implement operational strategies that optimize system performance by mitigating the effects of weather on the roadways. Accurate, timely, route-specific weather information allows traffic and maintenance managers to better operate and maintain roads under adverse conditions. Connected vehicle technologies hold the promise to transform roadweather management. Road weather connected vehicle applications will dramatically expand the amount of data that can be used to assess, forecast, and address the impacts that weather has on roads, vehicles, and travelers; fundamentally changing the manner in which weather-sensitive transportation system management and operations are conducted. The US Department of Transportation's Road Weather Management Program has developed this Concept of Operations (ConOps) to define the priorities for connected vehicle-enabled road-weather applications.

Book Synopsis Weather Issues in Transportation by :
Download or read book Weather Issues in Transportation written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather can have a profound, negative impact on mobility and traveler safety. Nationally, adverse weather is a factor in 1.5 million car and truck crashes and costs society nearly $42 billion annually. Through intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and better road weather information, winter maintenance managers, traffic managers, and travelers now have the opportunity to manage traffic and travel to more effectively ameliorate weather's safety and productivity challenges. In the past few years, weather-related transportation issues have become a priority for the national research agenda. On June 14, 2004, the Iowa Department of Transportation hosted a regional, multi-disciplined forum. The purpose of the forum was to identify Midwest regional research and technology transfer priorities in weather-related transportation research and to discuss the possibility of establishing a regional research program to support the national road weather research agenda. The June 14 Weather Issues in Transportation focus group forum provided an opportunity for transportation agency professionals, professionals representing transportation users, commercial weather data and forecast providers, and members of the meteorology community to express their priorities for weather-related transportation research and technology transfer. Focus groups were organized into the following eight initiatives: (1) Weather Providers, (2) Weather Users, (3) Maintenance Equipment & Technologies, (4) Maintenance Management, (5) Maintenance Operations, (6) Traffic Operations & Safety, (7) Intermodal Traffic, and (8) Design & Construction. The focus groups identified and ranked 25 research problem statements that would require over $20 million for first-year funding if all projects were started in the same year.
