  • Application of Closed Circuit Television for Traffic Surveillance in Texas
    APPLICATION OF CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION FOR TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE IN TEXAS by William R. McCasland Research Engineer Texas Transportation Institute and Raymond G. Biggs Engineering Technician Texas Highway Department Research Report Number 139-11 Freeway Control and Information Systems Research Study Number 2-8-69-139 Sponsored by The Texas Highway Department In Cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration TEXAS TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE Texas A&M University College Station, Texas August 1971 ABSTRACT Closed circuit television (CCTV) has been used for surveillance of traffic and transportation facilities for many years. However, the num­ ber of operating systems are few bec,ause their effectiveness as a long term surveillance system has been suspect due to the inclusion of human observers in the surveillance loop. The use of CCTV for short intensive observations necessary to research and traffic studies has been success­ ful. The accelerating development of area wide traffic surveillance, control, and communications systems for urban areas will increase the interest in the use of CCTV as part of the surveillance system. There are four operating CCTV systems in Texas that are used for traffic sur­ veillance. Each system has different design and operating characteris­ tics. DISCLAIMER The opinions, findings, and conclusions expressed ,or implied in this report are those of the research agency and not necessarily those of the Texas Highway Department or the Federal Highway Administration. SUMMARY There are four closed circuit television systems in Texas that are designed and operated for traffic surveillance. Each system has different design and operating characteristics to satisfy the surveillance require­ ments.

  • CH7 Bridges and Tunnels Pp340
    Bridges and Tunnels Fifty miles inland, on a flat plain drained by small bayous, Houston in its early days did not seem destined to become a city of bridges. There were no rivers to cross and no nearby bays or lakes to block the city’s growth. Although Houston was free of impediments, the addition of a man-made barrier would be the event that propelled Houston into the ranks of the nation’s largest cities. Dredging of the Houston Ship Channel to a depth of 25 feet (7.6 m) was completed in June 1914, and the channel was officially opened by President Woodrow Wilson on November 10 of that year. The rest, one might say, is history, as the ship channel spurred Houston’s industrial boom. The construction of one great work of infrastructure, the Houston Ship Channel, would ultimately necessitate other construction projects to bridge the man-made divide. Houston would not become a great bridge city on the order of New York City or San Francisco, but would still develop a nice collection of bridges and tunnels to complement its freeway system. In comparison to most cities in the United States, Houston’s major bridge crossings are a relatively modern development, with the first high-level bridge span opening in 1973. With newness comes better design and wider spans, but as this history shows, Houston’s bridges have all had their share of problems. The complete history of Houston’s bridges, however, predates the construction of the modern Houston Ship Channel. While Houston was still a mosquito-infested outpost on Buffalo Bayou, one of the nation’s more prosperous cities was thriving just 50 miles (80 km) to the south—on Galveston Island.

  • The Fred Hartman Bridge
    1996 MERIT BRIDGE AWARD: LONG SPAN THE FRED HARTMAN BRIDGE THE FRED HARTMAN BRIDGE OVER THE HOUSTON SHIP CHANNEL, with a total length of 2,475’, is currently the second largest cable-stayed bridge in terms of overall deck area. The bridge connects Loop 201 in Baytown with Texas Route 225 in LaPorte—a distance of about 2.5 miles—and replaces the obsolete Baytown tunnel, which opened in 1953. The bridge is particularly noteworthy for its “double-diamond” tower configu- ration which was designed to resist hur- ricane-force winds. The tower resists transverse loadings through truss action, thereby allowing the very slen- der 7’ leg width since there is virtually no transverse bending. The main span unit consists of a five- span structure, comprising three cable- stayed spans of 482’, 1,250’ and 482’, and two simple-span flanking units at 130’-6” each. The three-span cable- stayed portion is constructed with a composite steel superstructure. The typical section consists of two independent roadways, each approxi- mately 78’ wide, which carry four lanes of traffic with full shoulders. The superstructure framing system is very straightforward. It utilizes an 8”- thick reinforced concrete slab supported by transverse floor beams, which are spaced approximately 16’ apart. The floor beams frame into main girders, which are located along the outside edge of the section. The resulting steel grid is composite in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. A 4” reinforced Judges concrete wearing surface is placed over the 8” structural slab. Comments: A steel anchor box assembly provides the stay cable anchorage to the main girder.

  • Assess Currently Available Houston Ship Channel Area VMT Mix Data and Identify Additional Data Required (Umbrella Contract 60200-04-17: Task 1) - Revised Final
    TECHNICAL NOTE Transportation Air Quality Technical Support Interagency Contract with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality TO: Peter Ogbeide, Project Manager DATE: 31 August 2004 Texas Commission on Environmental Quality FROM: Dennis G. Perkinson, Ph.D., TTI Study No.: 402131-25 Texas Transportation Institute SUBJECT: Assess Currently Available Houston Ship Channel Area VMT Mix Data and Identify Additional Data Required (Umbrella Contract 60200-04-17: Task 1) - Revised Final INTRODUCTION The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) works with local planning districts, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), and the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) to provide on-road mobile source inventories of air quality pollutants. TxDOT typically funds transportation conformity determinations required under 40 CFR part 93, and the TCEQ typically funds mobile source inventory work in support of Federal Clean Air Act requirements for attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS, 42 USCA 7409). BACKGROUND Transportation professionals have long recognized that high quality data is the cornerstone of transportation planning, research and analysis. Current air quality regulations and procedures require planners to address transportation and environmental issues with a precision and accuracy that challenges the capabilities of the data and methods in use today. The models and other analytical tools used to provide these analyses are only as good as the data fed into them. 1 TxDOT maintains vehicle classification data collection sites throughout Texas. However, interest in some nonattainment areas has focused on very specific specialized locations. These areas of interest (e.g., the Houston ship channel area) contain specialized activities that may have significantly different distributions of vehicle miles traveled among the various vehicle types (VMT mix) than the region as a whole.

  • Confederate Naval Works on Goose Creek in Harris County, Texas
    Confederate Naval Works on Goose Creek In Harris County, Texas This Application was presented for an official Texas Historical Marker to the Harris County Historical Commission on July 15, 2006. Approved. By Trevia Wooster Beverly With the assistance of Garnett Cleveland, Jr. and Bert Marshall Originally known as the Chubb Shipyard, this site is important not only to Confederate activity in Harris County, but also to the naval and industrial history of the state of Texas. Location of the subject marker will be in Bayland Park, Hwy. 146, Baytown, Texas. It will be on the opposite bank from the original site due to accessibility. Trevia Wooster Beverly, a Baytown native, is Secretary for the Harris County Historical Commission. << [email protected] >> Garnett Cleveland, Jr. has written the only known work on the Confederate Naval Works at Goose Creek.1 Bert Marshall, local historian, is the owner of the website OurBaytown.com << http://www.OurBaytown.com >> 1 “Confederate Naval Works of Goose Creek,” Baytown Vignettes, One Hundred and Fifty Years in the History of a Texas Gulf Coast Community, edited by John Britt & Muriel Tyssen (Baytown: Lee College, 1992). THE CONFEDERATE NAVAL YARD ON GOOSE CREEK In 1854 the two Chubb brothers, Thomas Henry and John, purchased approximately fifty-six acres out of the old William Scott2 League on the east bank of Goose Creek3 at the mouth of Tabbs Bay from Mrs. Mary Jones, wife of Republic of Texas president Anson Jones. It was here they established their shipyard, later to become the Confederate Naval Yard. The Texas shipping industry was quite modest until the Civil War when the Confederate government encouraged Texans to engage in any kind of manufacturing venture that would contribute to military needs.
