ISBN: 030906967X
Category : Freight and freightage
Languages : en
Pages : 67
Book Description
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis Report 320: Integrating Freight Facilities and Operations with Community Goals identifies practices that have been or are being used by private-sector freight companies and public transportation agencies in citing their facilities, modifying their operations, and managing their community relations. "Good neighbor initiatives" and balancing practices employed by metropolitan planning and economic development organizations, local governments, and others are also recognized. The report covers water, truck, rail, and air freight facilities and operations. Although the report does not include pipelines, several of the issues and practices discussed are relevant to pipeline facilities and operations.

Crash Records Systems
Author: National Cooperative Highway Research ProgramPublisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 0309097541
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 43
Book Description
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 350: Crash Records Systems examines crash records systems practices and programs as applied to highway and traffic safety. The report covers crash data collection, crash processing and management, and data linkages for reporting and analysis. While no single comprehensive system examples are identified in the report, many examples of one or more successful components were found to address the needs of three groups of stakeholders--data collectors, data managers, and data users. The report also contains information about lessons learned from examples of successful systems, addressing the needs and concerns of stakeholders.

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This report contains guidelines that provide human factors principles and findings for consideration by highway designers and traffic engineers. The guidelines allow the non-expert in human factors to more effectively consider the roadway user's capabilities and limitations in the design and operation of highway facilities. The following chapters are included in collection C: (16) Special Considerations for Rural Environments; (17) Speed Perception, Speed Choice, and Speed Control; (18) Signing; (19) Changeable Message Signs; (20) Markings; (22) Tutorials (Tutorials 4, 5, 6); (23) References (Updated); (24) Glossary; (25) Index; and (26) Abbreviations (Updated).
Performance and Operational Experience of Crash Cushions
Author: John F. CarneyPublisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 9780309056649
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
This synthesis report will be of special interest to maintenance, construction, and traffic engineers and others interested in the use of impact attenuation devices or crash cushions for highway operations. Information is provided on the performance and operational experience of 13 crash cushion devices in current use in the United States and Canada, including physical characteristics, test results, and guidelines for use. Both permanent and temporary devices are included. Crash cushions can provide a cost-effective method for reducing or alleviating motor vehicle related injuries or fatalities, which constitute a major societal cost. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents information on the physical and impact performance characteristics of 13 crash cushions in current use in North America. Information on performance evaluation guidelines, physical characteristics, performance characteristics, selection considerations, and the operational experience of individual designs for crash cushions is provided. The synthesis concludes with possible future trends for crash cushions and appendices containing the crash test requirements of NCHRP Report 350: Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features, a crash cushion glossary, and a bibliography.
