| Anti-Icing / RWIS Training |
| Source: The development of this
training program was made possible by the cooperation of SICOP, the AURORA
Snow and Ice Consortium, and several participating governmental agencies
through the AASHTO Pooled fund program. |
| Across North America significant improvements
in winter maintenance have been taking place. Traditional roadway snow
and ice control strategies are being revolutionized through the use if RWIS
(Road Weather Information System) technology and anti-icing techniques.
Training is key to the successful integration of these new tools into a
winter maintenance program. The AI/RWIS CBT is a self-paced,
interactive multimedia computer-based training program that follows sound
adult learning principles. The program requires interaction by the
student beyond simply moving from one page to the next. Practice and
review exercises, fun facts, and links to key word definitions, a glossary,
a Knowledge Base and Internet sites add to the experience.
After completing the lessons comprised of core anti-icing and RWIS
content, students learn how to put their new knowledge into practice.
In the Scenario Room, students battle winter events using tools in a
simulated winter maintenance facility. This environmental helps
students hone winter maintenance decision-making skills. |

the training to support the training of the highway construction personnel.
The Council is comprised of approximately 25 individuals representing the
FHWA, American Association of State Highway Transportation (AASHTO), State
DOTs, Associated General Contractors (AGC), American Concrete Pavement
Association (ACPA), American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA),
National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), National Partnership for
Highway Quality (NPHQ), and other industry associations. The TCCC's
mission is to provide leadership at the national level, develop and maintain
a national curriculum for various transportation disciplines, identify
training and certification requirements, and coordinate/ facilitate training
efforts. |

| Guide for the Planning, Design, and
Operation of Pedestrian Facilities |
| Source: AASHTO |
| |
|
The purpose of this guide is to provide guidance on the
planning, design, and operation of pedestrian facilities along streets and
highways. Specifically, the guide focuses on identifying effective measures
for accommodating pedestrians on public rights-of-way. Appropriate methods
for accommodating pedestrians, which vary among roadway and facility types,
are described in this guide. The primary audiences for this manual are
planners, roadway designers, and transportation engineers, whether at the
state or local level, the majority of whom make decisions on a daily basis
that affect pedestrians. This guide also recognizes the profound effect that
land use planning and site design have on pedestrian mobility and addresses
these topics as well. |
