DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis project was established to provide a means of conducting small-scale research activities on an as-needed basis so that the results could be available within months of starting the specific research. This report summarizes the research activities that were conducted between September 2010 and August 2011. There were five primary activities and five secondary activities. The five primary activities were evaluating nighttime visibility along rural highways with bright signs, continuing the evaluation of lead-free thermoplastic pavement markings, evaluating contrast pavement marking layouts, continuing the evaluation of accelerated pavement marking test decks, and providing district support for hurricane evacuation routing. In addition, the researchers also started to evaluated criteria for setting 80 mph and 85 mph speed limits, evaluated bridge clearance signing, narrowed the focus of a rotational sign sheeting study, provided technical support for the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and provided technical support for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) sign sheeting specification.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis project was established to provide a means of conducting limited scope evaluations of numerous traffic control device issues. During the fifth, and final, year of the project, researchers conducted four activities: improving the interface for the automated process for identifying the start and end of no-passing zones developed during the fourth year, continuing the evaluation of the performance of lead-free yellow thermoplastic pavement markings started at the end of the fourth year, continuing development of the Work Zone Implementation Handbook, and creating an updated edition of the Sign Crew Field Book. The last two of these activities produced stand-alone documents for Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) use. The evaluation of lead-free thermoplastic found that the material performs well in most, but not all, areas. The improved interface for the automated no-passing zone was tested in the field at two sites, and the results indicate that the results are consistent with existing no-passing zone markings when considered for vertical alignment only.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis handbook, which was developed in recognition of the need for the compilation and dissemination of information on advanced traffic control systems, presents the basic principles for the planning, design, and implementation of such systems for urban streets and freeways. The presentation concept and organization of this handbook is developed from the viewpoint of systems engineering. Traffic control studies are described, and traffic control and surveillance concepts are reviewed. Hardware components are outlined, and computer concepts, and communication concepts are stated. Local and central controllers are described, as well as display, television and driver information systems. Available systems technology and candidate system definition, evaluation and implementation are also covered. The management of traffic control systems is discussed.
