Evaluation of Statewide Long-Range Transportation Plans |
|
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center wrote, "Evaluation of Statewide Long-Range Transportation Plans" for the FHWA Office of Intermodal and Statewide Programs. This report is the result of a comprehensive review of statewide plans nationwide. The review also produced a database with detailed information on major characteristics of the statewide plans.
This report talks extensively about Pennsylvania's Long-Range Plan. PennPlan is a project that PTI continues to be directly involved with. |

National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 |
|
Here is a link for thee National Cooperative Highway Research Program - Completed Project 22-07, FY 1989 Update of Recommended Procedures for Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Appurtenances. NCHRP Report 230: "Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Appurtenances," published in March 1981, contained a compilation of recommended procedures for evaluating the safety performance of highway appurtenances. These recommendations were based on a synthesis of information found in the literature and a state-of-the-art survey, and on advice obtained from a select group of acknowledged experts. Since its publication, the report has served as the generally accepted guide for developing and evaluating highway safety hardware. However, the characteristics of the vehicles on our roadways have changed substantially, new safety appurtenances have come into use, and research efforts using full-scale crash tests, bogie and pendulum tests, computer simulations, and traffic accident analyses have resulted in improved understanding of vehicle interactions with highway appurtenances and roadside terrain. On the basis of these changes, an update of NCHRP Report 230 is needed to ensure continued improvement in the level of safety provided users of the highway. |
