      <title>Recruit and Maintain/Upgrade a High-Tech Workforce for Emerging Technologies</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1905584</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Over the past decade, the advancement of transportation technologies has been rapid. The introduction of technologies, including mobile robotics, Advanced Traffic Management Systems, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and big data analytics, has the potential to transform the way transportation agencies conduct their operations. Many state departments of transportation (DOTs) are exploring the potential applications of emerging technologies for transportation systems management. As this continues, the workforce must similarly understand how to work with these technologies. To meet the demand for technology-enabled workforce development, Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has called on the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) to provide an overall strategy to prepare a high-tech construction and operations-focused workforce within the next ten years. CAR, with support from the Workforce Intelligence Network (WIN), has addressed the three primary objectives of this project: (1) Conduct research on new technologies and associated implementation strategies, (2) Develop a series of recommendations for MDOT units to aid decision-makers in identifying the expertise gap within MDOT's current construction and operation workforce, and (3) Provide a set of recruitment strategies for acquisition and (re)training the current and future workforce. These strategies will produce a nimble model that will allow MDOT to continue to change these materials as technology emerges. CAR researchers divided the objectives of this project into five substantive tasks. The final report presents a consolidated report of the research tasks.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Transit New Zealand (Transit) has been successfully managing SCRIM and texture data collection through external suppliers for a number of years now.  A fairly prescriptive procurement model has been used to manage both the technical complexity of the contracts and the risk carried by Transit in the event usable data is not delivered.  Within the procurement model the contractor, consultant and client have distinct roles that work together to make the project a success.  Transit's asset managers are able to rely on the annual availability of accurate road surface data with which they can make critical investment decisions.]]></description>

      <title>Guide for organizing, recruiting and training road tunnel operating staff</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1154359</link>
      <description><![CDATA[After some specific definitions the present "Guide for organizing, recruiting and training road tunnel operating staff" defines the tasks to be carried out to operate a tunnel and the staff qualities required to do them.  Then, some recommendations in the field of organization, recruitment and training are made in general terms without showing preference for one type of structure rather than another.  The split of organizational responsibilities vary from country to country and can vary between tunnels within a country.  Thus, tunnel management might be the responsibility of either a public body or a private company.  This report provides advice that would be equally applicable to both public and private organizations.  The committee hopes that the contents of this report will help tunnel managers and help them improve the organization, the recruitment and the training of their staff.  However, it is noted that tunnel staff management is a dynamic process and changes will continue to occur in the future as new rules and working practices are established.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This report was sponsored by the TRB Committee on Maintenance and Operations Personnel and prepared by the Classification and Staffing Section of the Human Resources Division of the Texas Department of Transportation in cooperation with the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee on Maintenance.  This report is the 48th in a series which began in 1944.  As with last year's report, the year 1977 is used as the base year for the comparison of salaries.  For comparative purposes, portions of this report have been broken down into four regions:  North Atlantic States; Southeastern States; Mississippi Valley States; and Western States.  The report is presented in four sections: Introduction; Maintenance and Operations Personnel Titles; Monthly Salaries of Highway Personnel 1994; and Policies Affecting Maintenance Personnel as of July 1994.]]></description>

      <title>HIGHWAY OPERATIONS PROBLEMS OF ELDERLY DRIVERS IN ILLINOIS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/410679</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An increase in the percentage of senior (older) drivers using the American Roads is expected.  The driving needs of the senior drivers should be considered for safe and efficient design and operation of highways.  The study was conducted to analyze the needs and concerns of the senior drivers in Illinois.  It included a literature review, a statewide survey of senior drivers and meetings with senior citizens focus groups.  The study was designed to obtain insights into: 1) The specific changes in difficulty senior motorists have experience in driving; 2) the elements of highway design and traffic operations whose importance to their driving has increased, and 3) the type and frequency of driving they are doing.  A total of 664 senior drivers responded to a mail survey.]]></description>

      <title>POTENTIAL SUPPLY OF MANPOWER FOR AN EXPANDED SECONDARY ROAD PROGRAM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/92906</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THE PRESENT AND POTENTIAL DEMAND FOR TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING ASSISTANCE IN SECONDARY ROAD ADMINISTRATION WAS SURVEYED BY A QUESTIONNAIRE CIRCULATED TO EXECUTIVE ROAD OFFICIALS IN EACH OF THE 87 COUNTIES OF MINNESOTA AND TO 182 SELECTED OFFICIALS IN 36 OTHER STATES. NAMES IN THE LATTER GROUP WERE TAKEN FROM AMONG THOSE WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE FORUM OF THE BETTER ROADS MAGAZINE. THIS PROBLEM IS APPARENTLY OF VITAL INTEREST TO COUNTY ROAD MEN. EIGHTY OF THE 87 COUNTY HIGHWAY ENGINEERS IN MINNESOTA (91.9 PERCENT) AND 118 OF 182 IN THE OTHER STATES (64.8 PERCENT) FILLED OUT AND RETURNED THE QUESTIONNAIRES. IT IS THE OPINION OF THESE COUNTY MEN THAT: (1) THE NEED FOR THE LARGEST NUMBERS OF ENGINEERING ASSISTANTS IN AN EXPANDED PROGRAM WILL BE FOR SUBPROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL (RODMEN, CHAIRMEN, DRAFTSMEN, AND INSTRUMENT MEN). THESE PERSONS CAN BE SECURED AND TRAINED BY THE COUNTIES, EVEN IF THE PRESENT ROAD PROGRAM IS EXPANDED 100 PERCENT. NOT ALL COUNTIES CAN DO THIS, WHEREAS OTHERS CAN SECURE AND TRAIN MORE THAN WILL BE REQUIRED, (2) THE NEED FOR REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS WILL INCREASE ABOUT 57 PERCENT IF THE ROAD PROGRAM IS EXPANDED 100 PERCENT. FOR EXAMPLE, 80 ENGINEERS IN MINNESOTA ESTIMATED THE NEED TO BE FOR 46 MORE ENGINEERS FOR A 100 PERCENT EXPANDED PROGRAM. AND THESE 80 MEN HAVE HAD 42 ASSISTANTS WHO HAVE BECOME COUNTRY HIGHWAY ENGINEERS. THE FIRST REQUIREMENT POINTS TO A NEED FOR COORDINATING DISTRIBUTION AND PROMOTION OF SUBPROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL ACROSS BOTH COUNTY AND STATE LINES. THE SECOND REQUIREMENT POINTS TO THE NEED FOR CLOSER COOPERATION BETWEEN THE STATE AND LOCAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATIONS IN THE HANDLING OF PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL. IF THERE WERE CLOSE COOPERATION BETWEEN LOCAL AND STATE ROAD JURISDICTIONS AND AMONG THE VARIOUS STATES, SUB- PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL COULD START WHEREVER JOBS BECAME AVAILABLE. AS THEY LEARNED THROUGH PRACTICE, THEY COULD EXPECT TO MOVE TO JOBS REQUIRING A GREATER DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE. FURTHER, THEY COULD BE EXPECTED TO ENTER ENGINEERING SCHOOLS EITHER FOR FULLTIME TRAINING OR ON A COOPERATIVE BASIS. SUCH A SYSTEM WOULD SEEM TO HOLD GENUINE PROMISE FOR AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HIGH TYPE PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL. /AUTHOR/]]></description>

      <title>A STUDY OF LOCAL ROAD ADMINISTRATION AND ENGINEERING MANPOWER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/92899</link>
      <description><![CDATA[STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED ON ENGINEERING MANPOWER IN CALIFORNIA COUNTY ROAD DEPARTMENTS. THE SHORTAGE OF ENGINEERS TENDS TO CONCENTRATE SUCH STUDIES ON AN IMMEDIATE MEANS OF INCREASING AVAILABILITY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF THE TECHNICAL WORKING FORCE. SPECIFIC INFORMATION IS PRESENTED ABOUT THE NUMBERS OF TECHNICAL PERSONNEL PER UNIT OF CONSTRUCTION AND ABOUT JOBS FILLED IN RELATION TO SALARIES PAID IN CALIFORNIA COUNTY ROAD DEPARTMENTS. NUMBERS OF ENGINEERING PERSONNEL ENGAGED IN WORK CONNECTED WITH CONSTRUCTION WERE COMPUTED FOR EACH OF THESE COUNTY GROUPS. THE RELATION BETWEEN JOBS OPEN AND SALARIES WAS EXAMINED. DATA DEVELOPED SHOULD HELP IN CORRECTING SALARY INEQUITIES, ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF INDIVIDUAL COUNTIES WHERE PRESENT SALARIES ARE FAR BELOW PREVAILING MEAN FOR SIMILAR JOB CLASSIFICATIONS IN ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE.]]></description>
