    As a result, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) began construction in 2000 on more than 350 miles of roadway. Most relevant to the study of ITS in work zones are the three work zones that utilized ITS with the goal of improving traffic safety and mobility during the time of construction. One of these three Arkansas projects using ITS included the widening of approximately 17 miles of I-30 from Sevier Street in Benton (mile marker 115) to Geyer Springs Road in Little Rock (mile marker 133).Prior to the beginning of construction, this section of I-30 had an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of 63,000…

    The radios blasting, your thumbs are tapping the steering-wheel, and your speedometer needle is between 75 or 80 as you drive on the interstate. "Instead of enjoying the ride a person is trying to get from point A to point B as fast as possible," is an opinion stated by the author about interstates and for most cases its true. Interstates bypass all the towns, cities, and highways that people would not notice unless they drove on the highways instead of the interstate. Interstates are long, mostly straight, flat roads that lead from one place to another. On the interstate, semis loom over you like giant beast, cascading you and your entire car in a shadow as it rides by. Certain towns, shops, or cultures can only be found on blue highways, roads written in blue on a map, these highways can take you somewhere you have never been before. "Driving on blue highways pull you back in time. You look around, and it is America in…

    Tom, a staff member has addressed the lack of good connections between two major interstates that transverse through central Pennsylvania. This in fact will help the economic grow within central Pennsylvania and it would also be very attractive plan to the state and federal government. Sandy, another staff member brought up the point of synergism and that the government recently started giving away land that had been part of a prison that could be used for economic development. The net social rate of return will increase for private industries that decide to develop along the new highway link. It also creates a new network feature that will be beneficial to all industries. Economic benefits can derive from employment, direct users, and industry productivity. Employment supported by highway construction companies can boost the economy. Direct users benefit from commuters and travelers by time saving, safety improvements, and vehicle operating cost reductions. Time saving is a great benefit that all users will see as an advancement in daily routine. Commuters and travelers will appreciate the time saving and vehicle operating costs reductions. With high gas prices, all direct users will see a immediate change in gas usage. Industry productivity is another area that will gain by economic…

    Intersection

    • 1005 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Intersections have traffic going through them all of the time. I pass through eight intersections on my way to school. One of the main intersections that I pass through going almost anywhere is the intersection of Fairbanks Road and Highway 139. This intersection is a very busy one. Any traffic going towards the Bastrop area or coming towards the Swartz area from the Bastrop area have to pass through this intersection. Because the Intersection has nothing but a caution light, people go through there going faster than they should. This in return has caused twenty-nine wrecks within the past year. People may think that that is not a lot of wrecks for a year, but take into a count that fifty-five percent of these wrecks were fatal. To make this intersection a safer place to travel for the community I propose that we do one of three things. My first proposal is that, as a community, we petition the Louisiana State Department of Transportation to put a timed red light at this intersection. An alternate, but still effective means of traffic control would be to put in a four way stop at this intersection. Finally, a reduction of speed limited around the intersection to about twenty or thirty miles per hour would reduce the chance for serve traffic accidents, according to the statistics.…

    Pavement joints are vital to control pavement cracking and pavement movement. Without joints, most concrete pavements would be riddled with cracks within one or two years after placement. Water, ice, salt and loads would eventually cause differential settlement and premature pavement failures. These same effects may be caused by incorrectly placed or poorly designed pavement joints. The Technician is responsible for inspecting all joints to avoid any of the problems associated with joint failure. Forethought should be given to the design and placement of the pavement joints so that the end result is a properly functioning pavement system. Special care is given at intersecting approaches, turn lanes and crossovers so that the joints required at these locations will complement the joints placed in the mainline pavement. Since the mainline pavement is typically placed prior to any auxiliary pavement, the location of all joints is required to be known in advance of the initial pours. If the initial joint placement is correct, the extension of the same joint lines throughout any adjacent pavements is done. "Dead ending" of joints in the middle of adjacent slabs is avoided whenever possible to prevent the risk of reflective cracking. An example of a well planned joint design is shown in Figure 7-1. The joints in this diagram are continuous from edge of pavement to edge of pavement. Also, the joints in the mainline pavement are aligned to serve the joints in the adjoining pavements. The following pavement joints and related materials are discussed: 1) D-1 contraction joints 2) Longitudinal joints 3) Transverse construction joints 4) Terminal joints 5) Expansion joints 6) Retrofitted tie bars…
