Join this webinar to explore research findings on innovative approaches to managing highway infrastructure. Participants will learn about a cost-efficient method for assessing culvert conditions and prioritizing maintenance tasks when highway data is limited. The session also examines the role of condition prediction models in optimizing maintenance budgets for underrepresented assets such as culverts.
Researchers developed five new crash modification factors, which are indicators of expected changes in crashes after implementing innovative intersection designs. Coupled with a traffic simulation procedure, those factors empower agencies to optimize infrastructure investments and save lives without implementing more costly interchanges.
Learn findings on: How Advanced Aircraft Mobility (AAM) can enhance rural freight logistics while preserving ground transportation infrastructure. When/where aerial freight can complement traditional trucking. Practical opportunities to shift specific freight movements to aircraft; and the value of AAM for certain types of goods, such as pharmaceuticals, hazardous materials, and specialized electronics.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver are recommending changes to how municipalities collect data on signalized intersections so that pedestrian safety can be improved. With the knowledge that pedestrian fatalities account for approximately 17% of road fatalities, and a frightening number of those occur at intersections where pedestrians have the right-of-way, the researchers studied how and where traffic signals for left-turning traffic that provided protection for pedestrians were implemented.
