Report regarding a median barrier gate designed to both offer protection to motorists and easier cross-median access for emergency and maintenance vehicles.

Report regarding efforts to develop a benefit-cost analysis methodology for safety rest areas in Texas and to demonstrate its application in select corridors throughout the state. This project also considers approaches to developing rest areas that could reduce costs to the public.

Report regarding the development of geometric and signal design guidelines for triple left-turn lanes and dual right-turn lanes and then evaluatues the safety of such sites in Texas.

"In this report the researchers try to provide a more diverse set of tools and options for Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) personnel that will help ensure timely vegetation establishment to meet Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) regulatory requirements, minimize project delays, and help reduce long-term costs in vegetation development and management."

"This report describes the state of the intelligent transportation system (ITS) industry and provides a reference for use in soliciting ITS strategic plan inputs from stakeholders in Texas."

Report documenting the development and conduct of a two-year series of workshops to share information with Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) engineers and technicians regarding the cost-effective design and operation of traffic signals at intersections along state highways in Texas.

Report that looks at the state of mobility management practice throughout Texas, as well as national best practices in mobility management. Additionally, this research provides an overview of the varying roles of state departments of transportation in public transit mobility management efforts. The research also presents applied mobility management for agencies seeking to implement mobility management programs as well as a menu of performance measures that can be utilized based on the type and level of program implemented.

Report discussing the development of a transition roadway rail that is suitable on lower-speed roadways and that is suitable for implementation.

"This report presents a comprehensive study focusing on methodologies to improve the performance of high reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content mixes."

"This report provided Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) with guidance on developing a well-designed asset management system as a critical component of the agency's approach to providing for the mobility of its customers, preserving the infrastructure already in place, planning for future improvements of that infrastructure, and being responsive and accountable to the public regarding the investment of their tax dollars."

"In this report the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) developed a guidelines and recommendations for creating signing uniformity for low-water and flood-prone sections of roadways. TTI also developed criteria for when to implement active water-level detection and advance warning systems at low-water crossings and flood-prone roadway sections."

Report regarding a portable computer that interfaces with traffic signal cabinets, monitors and logs events that occur within the cabinet, and then analyzes the log files and creates easy to read reports.

"In this report the goal of the project was to develop implementation guidance that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) can use to make better decisions regarding when and where to use positive protection in work zones and when to consider exposure control and other traffic control measures that could improve work zone safety."

Report that documents the results of two completed tasks for the "Evaluation and Development of Pavement Scores, Performance Models and Needs Estimates" project.

Report discussing the findings of a study exploring issues related to roadside safety devices. It includes background information, system details, test requirements and evaluation criteria, crash test procedures, crash test results, and conclusions.

"This document summarized the research conducted and the conclusions reached during the development of guidelines for pedestrian safety treatments at signalized intersections. The guidelines are focused on treatments that alleviate conflicts between left-turning vehicles and pedestrians."

"This report describes the methodology and results of analyses performed to determine motorist understanding, as well as the operational and safety effectiveness, of automated flaggers assistance devices (AFADs) relative to the use of flaggers at lane closures on two-lane, two-way roadways."

"The goal of this project was to obtain a better understanding of modern TCD capabilities. Researchers conducted the following tasks literature review, crash data examination, TxDOT district survey, laboratory survey, field study, and development of principles for selecting TCDs."

Abstract: In 2009, the Texas Transportation Institute produced for the Texas Department of Transportation a document called Video over IP Design Guidebook. This report summarized an implementation of that project in the form of a workshop. The workshop was developed and presented as a pilot in Austin in 2010 and taught an additional four times in 2011 in Fort Worth, Lubbock, Houston, and San Antonio.

Report that recaps the continued development of the Texas Revenue Estimator and Needs Determination System model.

"This report summarizes the technical work performed developing and incorporating Metropolitan Planning Organization sub-models into the existing Texas Revenue Estimator and Needs Determination System (TRENDS) model. Additionally, this report explains the maintenance and monthly updates performed on the TRENDS model."
