Transportation Systems: Rural Challenges and the Application of Advanced
Technology Must Be a "Community" Investment |
| Source: U.S. DOT FHWA |
| This presentation focuses on the
rural user's needs, the stakeholders, the applicable technologies, projects,
and resources for advanced rural transportation systems in seven development
areas. The development areas are: rural crash prevention and security;
emergency services; traffic management; transit and mobility; operations and
maintenance; travel and tourism; and surface transportation weather. |

| 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. |

| To provide

construction activity must be planned, designed, and executed with the
highest possible regard for the environment. For construction and
development, federal agencies have been assigned a special leadership role
to demonstrate best construction practices. The federal agencies and state
departments of transportation are working hard to provide regional programs
and training for ESA that relate specifically to highway construction and
maintenance. These two CDs are designed to acquaint highway construction
inspection personnel with the ESA and to help them direct their contractor
to Build Smart. The CDs provide information useful to both the experienced
and inexperienced inspector. |

| Good Practices:
Incorporating Safety into Resurfacing and Restoration Projects |
| Source: U.S. DOT FHWA |
| Integrating safety improvements
into resurfacing and restoration projects is a subject of long-standing
interest by Federal, State, and local transportation agencies. A Scan Tour
was conducted to identify and subsequently observe good practices in this
area. The scan team visited Colorado, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah and
Washington State. The Scan Team met with each State DOT and county agencies
in three States and observed completed projects in all States. Despite wide
variations in agency operating environments (e. g., funding levels and
flexibility, public expectations, environmental regulations), the report
identifies a set of common issues host agencies confronted in developing
integrated resurfacing-safety improvement programs, and also observed a set
of common success factors. Good practices are
reported within institutional and technical categories. Good institutional
practices include commitment to integrate safety into pavement preservation
projects, establishing a system that allows for multifunded projects
(pavement, safety) and allocates cost items by fund, allowing for flexible
project development cycles, strengthening State-local relationships,
developing an expedient procedure for acquiring minor rights-of-way, and
engaging safety experts in the project development process. Good technical
practices include identifying targeted safety countermeasures, making
selective geometric improvements, installing traffic control devices and
guidance features, improving roadsides, and improving private and public
access points. |

| 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. |
