Proposal title: Resilient Wayside Structures to Reduce Severity of Passenger Equipment Collisions and Derailments Additional passenger fatalities/injuries can occur during derailments involving interaction with wayside structures. Analogously, automobile fatalities often result from interaction of vehicles with roadside structures; personnel hazard reduction is a key design criterion for roadsid ...

The goal of the Advanced Traffic Controller (ATC) program to create an open-architecture general computation platform for traffic engineering applications will be more fully realized by the transition from proprietary operating systems to open source Linux. The use of hard real-time Linux will maintain current levels of operational performance while enabling the use of newer and more powerful har ...

The TEXAS Model for Intersection Traffic is a high quality single intersection microscopic traffic simulation model developed at The University of Texas at Austin. The TEXAS Model analyzes in sub microscopic detail the behavior of driver-vehicle units as they go through an intersection and intermix with other traffic flows. The TEXAS Model has detailed intersection geometry, path following, micr ...

Mandates to use native wildflower and grass seed began in 1987 with the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act and have been reinforced by two Executive Orders. Current demand for native seed exceeds the supply, therefore the need exists to develop additional native seed sources. Land uses such as conservation, recreation, and wildlife habitat offer the potential for native ...

CSMP is an exciting K-6 math program, designated as an "exemplary educational program that works¿ by the U.S. Department of Education, which funded its development, evaluation, and dissemination. Its spiral, problem solving approach uses picture languages, abaci, and technically challenging games. Simple problems subtly introduce sophisticated concepts. While class and teacher-student intera ...
