Practical Guidelines for Estimation of Rest Area Use on Rural Interstates and Arterial Highways
(2012-01)Rest areas perform a critical role in the highway network. These areas provide passenger vehicle occupants and heavy vehicle operators with an opportunity to use a restroom, walk around, stop for a meal, sleep for a period ... -
Remote Sensing of Weather and Road Surface Conditions
(2013-01)Advances in road weather sensing technologies have made noninvasive road weather sensors a valuable component in many intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications. This study investigates the reliability of using ... -
Traffic Operations on Rural Two-Lane Highways: A Review on Performance Measures and Indicators
(2018-05)Two- lane highways constitute a large proportion of the highway system in the United States, particularly in rural areas. Performance evaluation on those highways is the basis for planning, upgrade, and improvement programs. ... -
Performance measures on two-lane highways: Survey of practice
(2018-11)Two-lane highways constitute a significant component of the highway system and serve an essential function for the movement of people and goods. The Highway Capacity Manual is primarily used for operational analysis on two ... -
Examining the Effect of Speed and Roadway Geometry on Crash Experience along a Rural Corridor
(2014-03)This paper presents a current investigation into crash experience along a 15.7-mile rural corridor in southwest Montana with the aim of better understanding crash causal factors along the corridor. The study utilized ten ... -
Prioritization Scheme for Proposed RWIS Sites: Montana Case Study
(2017-08)A model for prioritization of new proposed environmental sensor station (ESS) sites is developed and presented in this paper. The model assesses the overall merit (OM) of a proposed ESS site as part of a Road Weather ... -
Perceived Risk of Phoning While Driving: A Case Study from Jordan
(2015-10)The use of mobile phones while driving is banned in most countries since it impairs driving performance and is believed to increase crash risk. The aim of this research is to identify the prevalence of phoning while driving ... -
Traffic Safety Along Tourist Routes in Rural Areas
(2016-01)Little is known about the safety of tourist drivers in the United States. Most domestic studies have focused on traffic deaths and injuries of U.S. citizens traveling abroad and cite factors such as driving on the left, ... -
Safety Effects of Road Geometry and Roadside Features on Low-Volume Roads in Oregon
(2016-01)Crashes are random events and can occur at any location along a roadway. On roadways with high traffic volumes, the more frequent occurrence of crashes permits the direct identification of high-frequency crash locations ... -
Measuring Performance on Two-Lane Highways: Empirical Investigation
(2017-01)This paper presents an empirical investigation into several performance measures for operational analysis on two-lane highways. The performance measures investigated are average travel speed, average travel speed to free-flow ... -
Changes in microbial communities and associated water and gas geochemistry across a sulfate gradient in coal beds: Powder River Basin, USA
(2019-01)Competition between microbial sulfate reduction and methanogenesis drives cycling of fossil carbon and generation of CH4 in sedimentary basins. However, little is understood about the fundamental relationship between ... -
α-Chymotrypsin Immobilized on a Low-Density Polyethylene Surface Successfully Weakens Escherichia coli Biofilm Formation
(2018-12)The protease α-chymotrypsin (α-CT) was covalently immobilized on a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) surface, providing a new non-leaching material (LDPE-α-CT) able to preserve surfaces from biofilm growth over a long working ... -
Physiological dynamic compression regulates central energy metabolism in primary human chondrocytes
(2018-02)Chondrocytes use the pathways of central metabolism to synthesize molecular building blocks and energy for cartilage homeostasis. An interesting feature of the in vivo chondrocyte environment is the cyclical loading generated ... -
Motorists' voluntary yielding of right of way at uncontrolled midblock crosswalks with rectangular rapid flashing beacons
(2018-07)This article presents an investigation into the motorists' voluntary yielding behavior to bicycles and pedestrians at uncontrolled midblock crosswalk locations. Two study sites in the state of Montana with light emitting ... -
Current insights into the mechanisms and management of infection stones
(2018-11)Infection stones are complex aggregates of crystals amalgamated in an organic matrix that are strictly associated with urinary tract infections. The management of patients who form infection stones is challenging owing to ... -
Light-Based 3D Printing of Hydrogels with High-Resolution Channels
(2019-01)Hydrogels are soft, water-based gels with widespread applications in personal care products, medicine and biomedical engineering. Many applications require structuring the hydrogel into complex three-dimensional (3D) shapes. ... -
The role of social capital in traffic safety citizenship
(2018)Traffic safety citizenship is an emerging approach to reduce serious injuries and fatalities on our roadways. The goals of this study were to develop a model to identify beliefs and values associated with intention to ... -
Field-scale modeling of microbially induced calcite precipitation
(2018-11)The biogeochemical process known as microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is being investigated for engineering and material science applications. To model MICP process behavior in porous media, computational ... -
Non-destructive approaches for assessing biofouling of household reverse osmosis membranes
(2018-09)This study determined economic non-destructive methods to assess biofouling in point of use reverse osmosis (RO) membrane treatment systems. Three parallel household RO membrane units were operated under controlled feed ... -
Bacteriophage Cooperation Suppresses CRISPR-Cas3 and Cas9 Immunity
(2018-08)Bacteria utilize CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems for protection from bacteriophages (phages), and some phages produce anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins that inhibit immune function. Despite thorough mechanistic and structural ...
