Report discussing the results of a project in which researchers implemented a systematic approach to identify the domains within the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot) where Operations Research and Management Science (OR/MS) techniques could lead to substantial improvements.

Report discussing a project, which developed a series of interdependent models and a simulation framework to evaluate the traffic operations and safety benefits of ATM strategies. Four ATM scenarios were evaluated in this study: variable speed limits (VSL), peak-period shoulder use, VSL and shoulder use, and ramp metering.

Technical report on the results of a study evaluating the corrosion resistance of post-tensioned beams after four years of aggressive cyclic ponded saltwater exposure.

This report evaluates the severity of the deterioration in bridges to determine if microbial induced deterioration (MID) is a significant contributor by visual inspection and a number of tests on twelve selected columns. This report also evaluates the effectiveness of suggested test procedures on identifying microbial attack on concrete and the integrity of deteriorated concrete due to the attack.

"This study provides revised mix design recommendations for crack attenuating mixtures (CAM) with local aggregates. The use of lower quality aggregates is cost beneficial but limits the application of these mixes in terms of reduced performance. Aggregate guidelines and aggregate quality criteria are provided to enhance the rutting and cracking performance of these mixes. The mix design recommendations as well as aggregate guidelines and quality criteria provided in the report are based on laboratory investigations and field validation is strongly recommended before implementation."

"Beginning in the summer of 1999, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) started developing the framework for implementing a sophisticated new system to manage its large and diverse portfolio of projects during their development phase. This was followed by the implementation itself for managing project schedules, project and portfolio resources and costs during their development cycle. This unique and challenging implementation across TxDOT encompassed all functional areas involved in the project development phase. It was successfully completed by overcoming technical, technological, and cultural challenges inherent with any implementation of this scale and magnitude."

"The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is currently designing typical highway bridge structures as simply supported using standard precast, pretension-ed girders. TxDOT is interested in developing additional economical design alternatives for longer span bridges, through the use of the continuous precast, pretension-ed concrete bridge structures that use spliced girder technology. The objectives of this portion of the study are to evaluate the current stat-of-the-art and practice relevant to continuous precast concrete girder bridges and recommend suitable continuity connections for use with typical Texas bridge girders."

"In the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), flexible base producers typically generate large stockpiles of material exclusively for TxDOT projects. This large "state-only" inventory often maintained by producers, along with time requirements for testing and reduced manpower within TxDOT offices, resulted in this project's investigation into a mixture-design specification for flexible base. The goals of this project are to develop a flexible base specification that reduces TxDOT's burden for sampling and testing, reduces time and space burdens on producers for maintaining TxDOT-only stockpiles, and maintains or improves the quality of the base."

"This project researched current trends, practices, and tools in implementing a feedback approach for potential implementation in the TxDOT TDMs."

"The use of recycles asphalt shingles (RAS) in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of asphalt paving mixes while conserving energy and preserving the environment. This report documents the best practices for the use of RAS in HMA in terms of Ras processing, characterizing the processed RAS (binder content,gradations, and performance grad [PG]), RAS mix design, production, and field construction."

"Texas energy sector has a critical impact-historically and currently-on both the state economy and the Texas transportation system. The stat's various transportation modes, including rail, highways, pipelines, and ports, form a system that supports the energy sector in a number of ways."

"For this study, a total of 30 heavy-duty diesel vehicles (HDDVs) were selected from City of Houston (COH) fleet based on opacity testing for HEs and random selection for non-HEs. With the selected 30 vehicles, driving and idling emission testing were performed to characterize their emissions with respect to vehicle classes, types (HE or non-HE), and model years."

Report on alternative fuels in the United States, in particular E85, the potential to reduce the United States' dependence on foreign oil, and the current state of alternative fuels in the auto industry.

The General Information chapter gives an overview of unclaimed property reporting. The Property Specific Reporting chapter discusses, in detail, some of the more common types of unclaimed property. The Preparing Your Report chapter gives step-by-step instructions for completing the property report and includes sample forms and instructions. The last Chapter of the manual contains Reference Tales that will be helpful when preparing your reports. On the last page, you will find a quick reference chart that lists the general categories of unclaimed property and the legal references for each type.

Annual financial report of the Texas Legislative Council documenting income, expenditures, and other relevant financial information for fiscal year 2011.

"This research project evaluates numerous transportation issues and develops findings and/or recommendations based on results. This project has been structured to address some of the emerging, critical, and unique considerations related to transportation."

"This report summarized the series of "Traffic around Schools"" workshops conducted throughout the state of Texas to familiarize TxDOT employees and partner agencies with two key products from previous research projects (0-4286 and 0-5470) and other tools and guidance that are available for dealing with problems around schools."

Report discussing the findings of a combined laboratory/feasibility study meant to evaluate the possible recovery of wastewater, through the use of reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate as a draw solution in a forward osmosis (FO) application. "This document examines some of the factors involved in the use of osmotic mechanisms to recover high quality water from wastewater effluents, as well as provides initial guidance on performance and costs that may be associated with future implementation of the technology" (p. 3).

"For this project four (4) tasks were developed and agreed to by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) contract person and the investigators. The four tasks are: (1) Calculate rates of channel migration along selected reaches (2) Categorize channel banks for erosion occurrence/potential (3) Develop estimated sediment budget for selected reaches (4) Determine and classify behavior of channel movement"

"The objective of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Research Project 7-4941 is to; determine the best optimization methodology; evaluate commercial fleet management systems; develop the model if this cost-effective relative to purchasing a commercial model; and validate the new model as needed using data available on TxDOT's current fleet."

This report discusses a study related to the use of emulsified asphalt (EA) as a binder for sealing roads after construction. Due to the number complex variables that affect EAs, this research is meant to help TxDOT personnel better predict which EA will be most effective and bond most quickly to allow roads to open for traffic.
