      <title>IMPACT 73</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39159</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Interstate Model Patrol and Accident Control Technique which started in 1973 (Impact '73) was designed to test the hypothesis that with adequate manpower, it would be possible to reduce the accident rate on the Impact '73 route. The Impact highway consists of 370.5 miles of interstate highways from Yuma, Arizona to San Simon, Arizona, and was developed from work plan statistics in the five patrol districts. Manpower was allocated to stations along Interstate 8 and Interstate 10. Inclement weather in the first 4 months caused an increase in accidents, and the subsequent 8 months showed a 7 percent decrease compared to the same period in '72. The gasoline shortage also resulted in a reduction of traffic accidents. The results are also presented of a search of the records to determine if those drivers of vehicles travelling through the impact area and involved in accidents, had been in prior contact of with an officer of the department.]]></description>

      <title>VIDEO EDUCATION FOR WORKING ENGINEERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39160</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The operation is described of MICROCAMPUS, a project which utilizes video-technology to move the classroom experience to thousands of students in their various locations in the U.S. and one foreign country. Courses are selected by the remote students from a choice of about one hundred in engineering, business administration, liberal arts and home economics. The "students" are all fully employed as engineers, managers, technicians etc. The details are briefly outlined of the project in which, within hours of recording, the video cassette - along with whatever hard copy from the Professor- is mailed to its remote destination. It is returned after 2 weeks. A service charge is made to the user. The 2-year project has demonstrated its pedogogic effectivity, but its economic feasibility remains to be astablished.]]></description>

      <title>RAMP METERING ON THE BLACK CANYON FREEWAY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39161</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The problem of recurrent congestion and its partial solution is discussed, experience in New York, Texas and California are reviewed, and details are given of freeway control in Phoenix. Studies revealed that ramp metering would be beneficial for southbound traffic during the morning peak period in certain southbound on-ramps. Details are outlined of the facility as well as of city arterials. Observations made after initiation of the ramp metering system indicate that east-west travel times on city arterials decreased and peak hour speeds on the freeway generally increased. The number of peak-hour accidents has also been reduced.]]></description>

      <title>IMPACT OF THE ENERGY SITUATION ON THE ARIZONA HIGHWAY PROGRAM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39162</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Some of the many facets and variables inherent in the current energy situation are examined, and efforts by the Arizona Highway Department to react to this situation are reviewed. Potential revenue reductions that can affect the Highway Department, county and city programs are discussed as well as inflationary costs in construction time and material. All these various factors must now be considered in system planning, development planning, and project planning. For urban areas, comprehensive transportation planning carried on cooperatively between state and local authorities is advocated. It should be based on strong leadership and must include operational factors and elements of the public and private sectors related to transportation. The importance of extensive maintenance is emphasized. The planning function must be expanded to evaluate the effectivity of expenditures. Comments are made on specific countermeasures (e.g. carpooling) initiated in Arizona.]]></description>

      <title>REFLECTIVE CRACKING STUDY AT MINNETONKA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39163</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In an effort to study the prevention of reflective cracking of a thin overlay, an experimental overlay project was built and studied. Details are given of the control and test sections. Close-up color photos of the travel lane were divided into a fixed number of trapezoidal areas and each area was examined for a crack. Yearly surveys were conducted. Good crack prevention was achieved with heater scarifying with reclamite, heater scarifying with petroset, petromat, fiberglass, 200-300 LA Basin, ground tire rubber under ACFC, reclamite as flush on old AC, 120-150 per Four Corners asphalt, and 120-150 per LA Basin. Those giving 'fair' and 'poor' prevention capabilities are also listed.]]></description>

      <title>ASPHALT PAVING IN 1974</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39164</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This discussion of the prudent use of asphalt, reviews engineering design considerations, engineering construction methods, techniques and specifications, as well as the engineering of maintenance. Full depth asphalt pavements, planned stage construction, and soil-asphalt mixes are economical design factors. The placement of asphalt mixes in thick lifts will achieve both greater density and fewer lifts. Lower mix temperatures coupled with greater density, can produce high performance pavements. The review of specifications (to pug out mix at 250 deg F and haul it in insulated trucks) and the substitution of other asphalt products for cutback asphalts also require attention. The utilization of the correct maintenance techniques are advocated, and the areas of surface preparation treatment, surface preparation, rejuvenation and heater planning are also considered.]]></description>

      <title>POLYMER AND PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE COMBINATIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39165</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The background to the use of polymer and portland cement concrete combinations is presented, and the state of the art is discussed of all the presently available forms of such combinations. Hardened concretes impregnated with suitable monomer and polymerized in-situ, demonstrate improved technical properties, but the technology of the method is complicated. Polymer concretes with aggregate bound with polymer have been used successfully, but are expensive. Successful use is reported of fiber reinforced concrete in instances where high impact resistance is required or where the concrete must hold together under load after cracking and fracture. Polymer cement concretes prepared by integrally mixing water solutions or emulsions of polymers, prepolymers or monomers with cement aggregate, have great practical significance.]]></description>

      <title>CURRENT AND PROPOSED FEDERAL AID, HIGHWAY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39166</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The 1973 Federal Aid Highway Act is reviewed, and its more important provisions are set forth. A discussion of highway programs covers such aspects as the Interstate Highway System, the apportionment of Interstate System Funds, completion schedules and mileage substitutions, and urban interstate and transit substitution. Authorizations, apportionments, the urban system, transfers and public transportation in the primary, secondary and urban highway systems are discussed, as well as such aspects as bicycle and pedestrian facilities, certification acceptance and realignment. New or expanded programs are reviewed, and authorizations for certain specialized highway programs included in the 1973 act are examined. Toll facility provisions, highway safety programs, and the provision of capital grant assistance for mass transportation are also considered.]]></description>

      <title>PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CHARACTERISTICS, TUCSON, ARIZONA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39167</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Computer coded accident report records (737) from 1968 to 1970 were used in an analysis in which the driver and pedestrian records were processed separately and then jointly. The analyses were conducted by simple percentage breakdowns of the categories within each variable, construction contingency tables and the employment of factor analysis techniques to isolate otherwise undetectable correlation among groups of variables. The study findings are grouped thus: general accident characteristics (14 aspects); multifactor findings (5 aspects); and findings revealed in additional analyses. Conclusions and recommendations based on the study are presented.]]></description>
