OTREC at TRB 2012, Monday

January 23, 2012 8:00 am - January 23, 2012 9:30 pm

Friday Transportation Seminar: Sight Distance and Stopping Sight Distance

October 28, 2011 12:00 pm

Room 204 of the Distance Learning Center Wing of the Urban Center on the Portland State University campus. 12pm-1pm.

Speaker: Shane Brown, Washington State University

Topic: Student, Practitioner, and Faculty Context and Understanding of Sight Distance and Stopping Sight Distance

An extensive line of research on conceptual change in cognitive science and engineering education have shown that students do not possess fundamental understandings of engineering, science and mathematics concepts. Conceptual change is a particular kind of learning where the knowledge being learned interacts in a meaningful way with existing knowledge.  A barrier to learning concepts is the presence of misconceptions, or robust misunderstandings that are not easily changed by instruction.  A parallel line of research in situated cognition suggests that knowledge is embedded in a context and the tools and artifacts that are available at the time of knowledge application.  Additionally, for learning to be optimized, content should be taught in the context (e.g. engineering design) in which it will be applied.  Conceptual change and situated cognition combined suggest that current educational practice is not effective in preparing students to have deep understandings of concepts and how they are applied in engineering practice.   Extensive data was gathered on students, engineering practitioners, and faculty understanding of SD and SSD using clinical demonstration interview methods.  Textbooks were analyzed for their context and coverage of SD and SSD.  Students were found to have rich stories from personal experience that related to SD and SSD, but were generally unable to understand the concepts as they related to course material.  Engineer and faculty definitions and applications of SD and SSD were different, mostly in the amount of contextually rich descriptions included.  Textbook presentations of SD and SSD tended to lack the contexts described by the engineers and instead focus on equations and variables.  Results suggest that students are not learning the concepts of SD and SSD in a long-lasting and meaningful way and that the context in which these concepts are learned is much different than the way in which they are used in practice.

Friday Transportation Seminar: ‘Gasless and Cashless Take a Toll’

October 14, 2011 12:00 pm - October 14, 2011 1:00 pm

Room 204 of the Distance Learning Center Wing of the Urban Center on the Portland State University campus. 12pm-1pm.

Speaker: Christopher R Garlick, P.E., PMP, CSEP, Atkins North America, Toll Operations Program

Topic: “Gasless and Cashless take a Toll” – Sustainable and Non-stop mobility through User Fees

With the advent of the alternative fuels, it’s very appropriate that gasoline is based on fossil fuels and becoming ancient history. As the gas tax becomes less and less pertinent to adequately funding infrastructure, electronic cashless non-stop tolling options are a more viable solution to financing new projects and providing mobility to existing infrastructure. There are a number of technologies being evaluated for the future; including global position systems (GPS), existing proprietary radio frequency (RF) systems, open standard dedicated open standard dedicated short range communications (DSRC) systems, or the existing cellular networks are also being considered. This presentation will focus on what technologies are available and what emerging technologies are the most likely to emerge as an effective and affordable approach to funding user fees and infrastructure needs. This presentation will also describe how user fees and tolling systems can help the environment, reduce congestion, and provide effective cashless transportation systems based on equitable user fees.

Expansive Reactions in Cement-Based Materials workshop, July 27-29, 2011

The goal of this workshop is to stimulate discussions related to expansive behavior in cement‐based materials.

While much is understood about the outward manifestations of expansive reactions, still questions remain about why many of these reactions result in expansion and    damage to concrete materials. The format of the workshop will be five sessions where three relatively brief technical talks related to the theme will present new theories, explanations, observations and controversial findings to foster discussion among participants. Speakers are encouraged to keep their talks brief, yet engaging. At the end of the technical talks approximately 30‐45 minutes will be devoted to discussion. A poster session will allow participants to showcase latest research results and findings which will further enhance the interactive nature of this workshop.

OSU Seminar: Clearing the Air by Promoting Hybrids?

Oregon State University is pleased to welcome Dr. Antonio Bento, a professor of Applied Economics at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. His talk is entitled, "Clearing the Air by Promoting Hybrids? The Unintended Consequences of Allowing Solo-Hybrid Drives in High Occupancy Lanes."

When: Friday, May 20, 2011 - 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.
Where: Oregon State University, 200C Ballard Extension Hall
Who: Free and open to the public

Abstract:
This paper examines the overall welfare effects and distributional impacts of the Clean Air Stickers program in California. In an attempt to promote the penetration of hybrids in the vehicle fleet and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this program allowed solo drivers of 85,000 low-emission vehicles, predominately hybrid-electric vehicles, to access to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Using a regression discontinuity design, we estimate the effect of the Clean Air Stickers program on HOV lane congestion, mainline congestion, and hybrid vehicle registration. We show that across specifications, travel time in the HOV lane increased significantly, while mainline travel times remained steady. Furthermore, we find no evidence that this policy stimulated registration of hybrid vehicles, and as a consequence, greenhouse gas emissions may have actually increased. Finally, we find that regardless of the effect of the program on new hybrid registration, because congestion costs dominate potential GHG emissions savings, the policy fails to pass a simple benefit-cost test. Even under our most
optimistic scenario, the cost per ton of GHG emissions reduction, is substantially larger that the most costly available options to the regulator. Further, by promoting the penetration of the hybrid technology at the expense of increased travel time for carpoolers, this program was highly regressive. We estimate that it costs 9 dollars to transfer one dollar to hybrid owners.

When roadway designers mention driveways, they are usually referring to the area of the driveway near its connection with the main roadway.  The design of these driveway connections may seem rather insignificant in the overall scheme of things.  However, past studies have reported that between 10 and 20% of all urban roadway collisions are related to driveways.  Along urban arterial roadways, research has shown that the frequency of driveways affects both the crash rates and traffic flow quality.  Clearly, the design of driveways can affect safety, mobility, and trip quality.

During the NCHRP 15-35 research project, the research team synthesized findings from previous studies and conducted new field research to provide a basis for the recently-published Guide for the Geometric Design of Driveways.  This presentation explains some of these findings that have a practical application for roadway design engineers.

What: "How do people choose a travel mode? Factors associated with routine walking and bicycling"
When: Friday, May 6, 2011, noon to 1:00 p.m.
Where: PSU Urban Center Room 204 (SW 6th and Mill) and on the web
Who: The seminar is free and open to the public

Abstract:

Walking and bicycling are being promoted as transportation options that can increase the livability and sustainability of communities, but the automobile remains the dominant mode of transportation in all United States metropolitan regions. In order to change travel behavior, researchers and practitioners need a greater understanding of the mode choice decision process, especially for walking and bicycling.

This presentation will summarize dissertation research on factors associated with walking and bicycling for routine travel purposes, such as shopping. More than 1,000 retail pharmacy store customers were surveyed in 20 San Francisco Bay Area shopping districts in fall 2009, and 26 follow-up interviews were conducted in spring and summer 2010. Mixed logit models showed that walking was associated with shorter travel distances, higher population densities, more street tree canopy coverage, and greater enjoyment of walking. Bicycling was associated with shorter travel distances, more bicycle facilities, more bicycle parking, and greater enjoyment of bicycling. Respondents were more likely to drive when they perceived a high risk of crime, but automobile use was discouraged by higher employment densities, smaller parking lots, and metered on-street parking. Interviews suggested a five-step theory of how people choose travel modes. Walking and bicycling could be promoted within each step: awareness and availability (through individual/social marketing programs), basic safety and security (through pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements and education and enforcement efforts), convenience (through higher-density, mixed land uses and limited automobile parking), enjoyment (through street trees and supportive culture), and habit (through roadway and parking pricing).

Free Seminar: Dr. Glen Koorey on Crash Prediction Models

Who: Dr. Glen Koorey, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand

What: Calibration of Highway Crash Prediction Models for Other Countries, A case Study with IHSDM

When: Friday, August 20, 2pm to 3pm

Where: ITS Lab (Room 315, Engineering Building, 1930 SW 4th Ave, Portland) at Portland State University

Additional Information:

The use of suitable crash prediction models (CPMs) is an increasing feature of rural highway design practice around the world.  Given the significant undertaking required to develop these, there is a certain appeal in investigating how countries can jointly develop crash prediction models and calibrate them for each jurisdiction. Research recently explored ways to assess the safety performance of (predominantly two-lane) rural highways in New Zealand (NZ).  The Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM) from the US was identified as worthy of further investigation, and a number of tasks were undertaken to adapt IHSDM for use in NZ.

Importing routines were developed to export NZ geometry and crash data into formats suitable for IHSDM.  IHSDM's CPM was calibrated to match NZ crash patterns, both nationally and for a series of subsets defined by traffic volume, number of lanes, region and terrain. A series of validation tests were then undertaken, using actual sections of NZ highway including a "before and after" realignment case study. These investigations showed that IHSDM is a promising tool for safety and operational assessment of highway alignments (both existing and proposed) in NZ.  Incorporating crash history data generally improves IHSDM's crash estimates, and appears to provide a better level of "local calibration" than by using sub-national calibration parameters. However, IHSDM's current lack of consideration for bridges and inconsistent adjacent elements are notable omissions that limit the ability of the CPM to assess sub-standard existing routes with as much accuracy as well-designed newer alignments.
 
Dr Koorey is a senior lecturer in the Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering at the University of Canterbury, where he teaches and does research in a variety of transportation engineering subjects, with a particular focus on sustainable transport and road safety. Prior to joining the University in 2004, he worked for 10 years with Opus International Consultants as a transportation engineer and road safety researcher. This year he is on sabbatical (study leave) and has been undertaking a three-month study tour of Europe and North America, including 3 weeks in Portland.
