National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) To: DISTRIBUTION - see below From: Christopher J. Hedges Manager, NCHRP Subject: Panels for FY 2016 Projects in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Immediate Action Requested On March 30 and 31, the AASHTO Standing Committee on Research (SCOR) formulated the NCHRP's FY 2016 program. Now, looking ahead to the task of establishing project panels for new projects, we are forwarding the scope statements (see attached) and asking for your help in identifying individuals with expertise directly relevant to the research proposed for each project. Although the FY 2016 projects are tentative (they have not yet been approved by States' ballot), we are soliciting now for nominees to meet future deadlines and will appreciate anything you can do to provide information as soon as possible but not later than June 26, 2015. To aid you in distributing appropriate project statements to qualified individuals, individual descriptions of each new project are attached. Please note that this solicitation for panel nominations is for new regular NCHRP projects EXCEPT for new NCHRP Synthesis of Practice topics. The solicitation for panelists for Synthesis topics will be distributed under the signature of Jon Williams, Program Director of the IDEA and Synthesis studies. Note to FHWA employees: Although you may be on the distribution list for this email, assignment of FHWA liaisons is coordinated through Jean Landolt’s office. To initiate that process, you will be receiving a separate email from Jean. As a reminder, FHWA employees may serve as liaisons to NCHRP panels, not as members. To ensure proper consideration when making nominations, we need as many details as possible on your nominee's affiliation, title, address, and, most importantly, technical areas of competence related to the particular problem (a brief resume would be helpful). We also encourage submittals via e-mail which can be addressed to [email protected]. Please make sure that only business-related addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail contacts are provided. To help us to identify nominees who are members of historically underrepresented groups, we encourage the nomination of women and members of minority groups. Please use the attached form if a resume is not available; the form is attached in 2 formats, a PDF format and a Word form for ease of completion on-line. Contacts to determine an individual's interest in serving will be made from this office after we have matched available expertise with that required by the nature of the project. Panels for the new projects are scheduled to meet beginning in August through September. Panel 500 Fifth Street, NW Phone (202) 334-3224 Washington, DC 20001 Fax (202) 334-2006 www.TRB.org members are prohibited from submitting or participating in preparation of proposals on projects under their jurisdiction. They serve without compensation but are paid travel and subsistence expenses. Travel insurance is provided at no cost to the members. In many cases, only two meetings are held in the life of a project, and these normally occur in Washington, D.C. The first meeting is to develop a project statement that is used to solicit proposals; the second meeting is to select a research agency from among those submitting proposals. Other meetings may be dictated by project circumstances; however, they are few and usually at least a year apart. Membership on each panel will number approximately eight, and panels operate under the guidance of a permanent chairman--see attached "Your Role as an NCHRP Panel Member ". The NCHRP staff serves as the secretariat. We are grateful for your support of the NCHRP by providing nominees each year. With the nominees continuing to outnumber the available positions by about four to one, we have been able to establish panels outstanding in their ability to play a fundamental role in the accomplishment of successful research. Please realize that if your nominee(s) is not selected, that there are several factors to be considered when forming well balanced and objective panels. Although expertise is the primary factor, we also attempt a proper balance in terms of geographic areas, organization or agency types (e.g., public and private agencies, universities, associations, local and state government), and gender and ethnic diversity.

  • Dynamic Lane Reversal in Traffic Management
    To appear in Proceedings of the 14th IEEE ITS Conference (ITSC 2011), Washington DC, USA, October 2011. Dynamic Lane Reversal in Traffic Management Matthew Hausknecht, Tsz-Chiu Au, Peter Stone David Fajardo, Travis Waller Department of Computer Science School of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Texas at Austin University of New South Wales {mhauskn,chiu,pstone}@cs.utexas.edu {davidfajardo2,s.travis.waller}@gmail.com Abstract— Contraflow lane reversal—the reversal of lanes in order to temporarily increase the capacity of congested roads— can effectively mitigate traffic congestion during rush hour and emergency evacuation. However, contraflow lane reversal deployed in several cities are designed for specific traffic patterns at specific hours, and do not adapt to fluctuations in actual traffic. Motivated by recent advances in autonomous Fig. 1. An illustration of contraflow lane reversal (cars are driving on vehicle technology, we propose a framework for dynamic lane the right side of the road). The total capacity of the road is increased by reversal in which the lane directionality is updated quickly and approximately 50% by reversing the directionality of a middle lane. automatically in response to instantaneous traffic conditions recorded by traffic sensors. We analyze the conditions under systems, more aggressive contraflow lane reversal strategies which dynamic lane reversal is effective and propose an integer can be implemented to improve traffic flow of a city without linear programming formulation and a bi-level programming increasing the amount of land dedicated to transportation. formulation to compute the optimal lane reversal configuration An important component of implementing dynamic lane that maximizes the traffic flow.

  • Using Bluetooth Detectors to Monitor Urban Traffic Flow with Applications
    Using Bluetooth Detectors to Monitor Urban Traffic Flow with Applications to Traffic Management by Mohsen Hajsalehi Sichani A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science. Victoria University of Wellington 2020 Abstract A comprehensive traffic monitoring system can assist authorities in identifying parts of a road transportation network that exhibit poor performance. In addition to monitoring, it is essential to develop a localized and efficient analytical trans- portation model that reflects various network scenarios and conditions. A compre- hensive transportation model must consider various components such as vehicles and their different mechanical characteristics, human and their diverse behaviours, urban layouts and structures, and communication and transportation infrastructure and their limitations. Development of such a system requires a bringing together of ideas, tools, and techniques from multiple overlapping disciplines such as traf- fic and computer engineers, statistics, urban planning, and behavioural modelling. In addition to modelling of the urban traffic for a typical day, development of a large-scale emergency evacuation modelling is a critical task for an urban area as this assists traffic operation teams and local authorities to identify the limitations of traffic infrastructure during an evacuation process through examining various parameters such as evacuation time. In an evacuation, there may be severe and unpredictable damage to the infrastructure of a city such as the loss of power, telecommunications and transportation links. Traffic modelling of a large-scale evacuation is more challenging than modelling the traffic for a typical day as his- torical data is usually available for typical days, whereas each disaster and evacua- tion are typically one-off or rare events.

  • Hurricane Evacuation Guidelines (PDF)
    Hurricane Evacuation Guidelines Prepare to evacuate if told to do so by elected officials. This may come through radio, television and social media. Plan to evacuate as early as possible – before gale force winds and storm surge forces road closings. Leaving early may also help you to avoid massive traffic jams encountered late in an evacuation effort. Listen to radio/television for evacuation and sheltering information. Remember, there are no shelters in St. Bernard Parish. Storm advisories are issued as followed: Tropical Storm Watch An announcement that sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph are possible within the specified area within 48 hours in association with a tropical, subtropical, or post-tropical cyclone. Tropical Storm Warning An announcement that sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph are expected somewhere within the specified area within 36 hours in association with a tropical, subtropical, or post- tropical cyclone Hurricane Watch A Hurricane Watch is issued when a tropical cyclone containing winds of 64 kt (74 mph) or higher poses a possible threat, generally within 48 hours. These winds may be accompanied by storm surge, coastal flooding, and/or river flooding. The watch does not mean that hurricane conditions will occur. It only means that these conditions are possible. Hurricane Warning A Hurricane Warning is issued when sustained winds of 64 kt (74 mph) or higher associated with a tropical cyclone are expected in 36 hours or less. These winds may be accompanied by storm surge, coastal flooding, and/or river flooding. A hurricane warning can remain in effect when dangerously high water or a combination of dangerously high water and exceptionally high waves continue, even though winds may be less than hurricane force.

  • A Literature Study on National Highway System

(IJITR) INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH Volume No.4, Issue No.6, October – November 2016, 5010-5013. A Literature Study On National Highway System AISHWARYA B R PG Student Department of Computer Science and Engineering R V College of Engineering, Bengaluru-560059 Abstract: As one of the components of the National Highway System, Interstate Highways improve the mobility of military troops to and from airports, seaports, rail terminals, and other military bases. Interstate Highways also connect to other roads that are a part of the Strategic Highway Network, a system of roads identified as critical to the U.S. Department of Defense. The system has also been used to facilitate evacuations in the face of hurricanes and other natural disasters. An option for maximizing traffic throughput on a highway is to reverse the flow of traffic on one side of a divider so that all lanes become outbound lanes. This procedure, known as contraflow lane reversal, has been employed several times for hurricane evacuations. After public outcry regarding the inefficiency of evacuating from southern Louisiana prior to Hurricane Georges' landfall in September 1998, government officials looked towards contraflow to improve evacuation times. In Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina, in 1999, lanes of I-16 and I-26 were used in a contraflow configuration in anticipation of Hurricane Floyd with mixed results. In 2004 contraflow was employed ahead of Hurricane Charley in the Tampa, Florida area and on the Gulf Coast before the landfall of Hurricane Ivan; however, evacuation times there were no better than previous evacuation operations.

  • Appendix D (Emergency Evacuation Route Analysis)
    APPENDIX D EMERGENCY EVACUATION ROUTE ANALYSIS BACKGROUND Assembly Bill (AB) 7471, passed in August of 2019, requires the City to update the Safety Element of their General Plan to identify evacuation routes and assess the capacity, safety, and viability of those routes under a range of emergency scenarios. Senate Bill (SB) 992 similarly requires the City to identify residential developments in hazard areas that do not have at least two emergency evacuation routes. Authoritative state guidance has not yet been developed to determine the type and level of analysis needed under AB 747 and SB 99. This supplemental evacuation analysis was prepared in support of the 2020 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. It utilizes a methodology described below and identifies residential developments without sufficient evacuation routes, and evaluates the efficacy of existing evacuation routes under various hazard scenarios in compliance with these two statutes. HAZARD SCENARIOS Evacuation route viability is largely determined by the location of the hazard. Because the City of Watsonville is surrounded by moderate and high wildfire risk areas, the Planning Team considered three wildfire scenarios to evaluate the safety and capacity of evacuation routes for residents. A total of five hazard scenarios are considered in this analysis: 1. Baseline (no hazard location specified) 2. Wildfire originating in the area north of the City 3. Wildfire originating to the east of the City 4. Wildfire originating to the south of the City 5. Flood 6. Earthquake DATA, ASSUMPTIONS & DEFINITIONS The evacuation route analysis utilizes updated parcel data from CoreLogic, a leading provider of real estate data in the United States and 2017 TIGER road data from the U.S.
