The Open Mode Integrated Transportation System (OMITS) has been designed as an effective, convenient, dynamic and safe transit system making carpooling or vanpooling service available for metropolitan areas and inter-cities. OMITS forms a sustainable information infrastructure for communication within and between the mobile/ Internet network, the roadway network, and the users’ social network. It manipulates the speed gap between different types of the networks.

The Open Mode Integrated Transportation System (OMITS) forms a sustainable information infrastructure for communication within and between the mobile/Internet network, the roadway network, and the users’ social network. It manipulates the speed gap between different types of the network: information communication through cellular phones and the Internet is tremendously higher than that of vehicles on roadway, which is much faster than that of the social networking.

The I88 culvert crossing of Carrs Creek in Sidney, NY collapsed during the record setting Mid‐ Atlantic States Flood of June 2006. Rapid construction with geofoam as lightweight fill enabled partial reopening of I88 by Labor Day 2006. Shortly after reopening of the roadway, rapid settlements developed. The geofoam fill was removed and I88 was rebuilt using lightweight aggregates. An investigation of the rapid construction failure was completed in 2009. This report examines the failure of the re‐construction and the results of the subsequent investigation.

This research project seeks to increase knowledge about coordinating effective multi-modal evacuation for disasters. It does so by identifying, evaluating, and assessing current transportation management approaches for multi-modal evacuation planning. The research increases equity by identifying strategies for evacuation of all residents, including carless residents during a disaster.

An integral-abutment bridge is designed to transfer the temperature and traffic-induced horizontal loading
to its foundation by the use of a continuous joint between the superstructure and its abutment. The
connection eliminates the need for bearings, which have been a source of expensive rehabilitation, and
accommodates the horizontal movement through a flexible stub-abutment supported on piles. Although
integral abutments have been used successfully by many states, a nationally accepted design methodology

Integral abutment bridges are becoming widely accepted for new construction of short to medium
length highway bridges of limited skew. Although they offer an economic alternative to the use of
bearings, integral abutments present their own unique challenges. One area of concern is the
development of passive pressures behind the abutment due to the cyclic loading of the soil during
thermal movement of the superstructure. The challenge of the present work is to present to the

<p>In New York City, as in other highly urbanized areas, several factors make it too difficult to apply pavement management systems methodology in the traditional way. Two of those factors are: underground utilities and utility cuts; together, they are the two most significant life-limiting factors for NYC pavements. Non-Destructive testing (NDT) techniques such as the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) have been successfully used to evaluate the conditions of rural pavements.

<p>In New York City, as in other highly urbanized areas, a number of factors make it too difficult to apply pavement management systems methodology in the traditional way: the existence of underground utilities and utility cuts. The potential of future patching which affects pavement performance. The fact that more than 70 % of NYC pavements are composite pavements, which are not suited for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) analysis techniques. The objective of this project is to develop a NDTbased framework to effectively manage urban pavements at the project level.

This report presents the findings and recommendations for the following NJDOT?s technology transfer
projects:
Energy Absorbing Fender Systems
Existing bridge fender protective systems technology, used by other states and countries are grouped into six
main categories: 1) Pile supported; 2) Retractable; 3) Rubber; 4) Gravity; 5) Hydraulic/pneumatic; and 6)
Floating systems. A protection system composed of hardcore composite pile dolphins, composite tubular

This three-part research project examined three different sets of technologies ? energy-absorbing fender systems, pre-cast or prefabricated bridge deck systems, report presents the findings and 'smart bridges' ? and provided recommendations for how New Jersey DOT should proceed with implementing them.
