    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

    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.

  • Court Appointed Monitoring Team to Begin Monitoring New Orleans Police Department Pursuant to Consent Decree

    Court Appointed Monitoring Team to Begin Monitoring New Orleans Police Department Pursuant to Consent Decree

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 16, 2013 COURT APPOINTED MONITORING TEAM TO BEGIN MONITORING NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT PURSUANT TO CONSENT DECREE The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana has ordered the start of New Orleans Police Department (“NOPD”) monitoring by national law firm Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton and a team of police practices experts from around the country. The Court Order was issued pursuant to the terms of a Consent Decree approved by the Court on January 11, 2013. United States District Court Judge Susie Morgan, who will oversee the NOPD’s compliance with the Consent Decree, appointed the Sheppard Mullin team to serve as the Consent Decree Monitor (“CDM”) on July 5, 2013. The Consent Decree followed a lengthy investigation of the NOPD by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division ending in March 2011. The Consent Decree addresses the goal of ensuring that police services are delivered to the people of New Orleans in a manner that complies with the Constitution and laws of the United States. The Consent Decree is “intended to protect the constitutional rights of all members of the community, improve the safety and security of the people of New Orleans, and increase public confidence in the New Orleans Police Department.” As the Court-appointed monitor, the Sheppard Mullin team will serve as the eyes and ears of the United States District Court with respect to the NOPD’s efforts to implement the terms of the Consent Decree. The team will conduct audits and reviews and perform outcome assessments to ensure that the terms of the Consent Decree are (i) Accurately incorporated into the Department’s written policies, (ii) Effectively presented to all personnel through training, and (iii) Actually implemented in practice.
  • The Fred Hartman Bridge

    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.

    Case 2:12-cv-01924-SM-JCW Document 277 Filed 06/14/13 Page 1 of 20 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CIVIL ACTION Plaintiff * NUMBER: 12-1924 v. * SECTION: E JUDGE SUSIE MORGAN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS * DIVISION 2 Defendant * MAG. J. WILKINSON * * * UNITED STATES’ MEMORANDUM RECOMMENDING SHEPPARD MULLIN AS CONSENT DECREE MONITOR The United States and the City of New Orleans (“City”) (collectively, “the Parties”) entered into a Consent Decree (“Decree”) in July 2012 to address entrenched systemic problems within the New Orleans Police Department (“NOPD”) and “ensure that police services are delivered to the people of New Orleans in a manner that complies with the Constitution and laws of the United States.” See Joint Motion for Entry of Consent Decree [ECF No. 2]. This Court entered the Decree as an order of the Court on January 11, 2013. Order Approving Consent Decree [ECF No. 159]. There is no serious question, given the nature and scope of the problems within NOPD, as well as NOPD’s previous unsuccessful attempts at self-correction, that the Decree is necessary to correct the longstanding patterns of constitutional misconduct identified by the United States during its exhaustive investigation of the police department. See March 16, 2011 Findings Report [ECF No. 1-1] (“Findings”) at 1-50. For the Decree to be successful, the best available monitoring team should be selected. After assessing each of the applicants to be Monitor, the United States found that the Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP (“Sheppard Mullin”) Team, far more than any other candidate, possesses the necessary qualifications to effectively and efficiently guide NOPD’s implementation of the Decree.
  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Introduction More than ten years after the worst disaster to befall any U.S. city in American history—necessitating the almost total evacuation of the population—the City of New Orleans has exceeded expectations in population recovery. 1 By the end of 2015, the city had regained nearly 86% of its pre-Katrina population, with nearly 390,000 people calling the city home.1 More than half of neighborhoods have recovered over 90 percent of the population they had before the levees failed.2 Only four neighborhoods have less than half the population they had prior to Katrina; the Lower Ninth Ward, one of the City’s most damaged neighborhoods; and three neighborhoods which include three public housing sites that have been demolished to make way for new mixed–income housing.3 Despite the City’s remarkable population recovery, there are still challenges that remain as we shift our focus from recovery to resilience. This chapter describes the post-World War II demographic and land use trends that shaped the New Orleans of today. This period in New Orleans’ history is part of a larger story of urban decline which lasted through the 1990s and affected all American cities—and the beginning of an urban renaissance that gathered steam in the early 2000s and continues today. New Orleans was part of this story, including the beginnings of urban renaissance, in its own way and based on its own history. While Hurricane Katrina and the failure of the levee system severely impacted the progress of the City, more than 10 years after the storm the City has overcome many challenges.
