Purdue Road School
All across the country, airports are now facing many challenges related to resiliency and the possible disruption of airport traffic. This presentation will focus on the factors impacting the ability of airports to respond to those factors, including climate change, localized flooding, heat waves, and snow events. As these weather events can impact passengers and workers, the need for airports to be able to respond to extreme events is greater than ever.

Faa Airmen Database Geospatial Distribution Patterns, Joseph P. Hupy, Sam Scroggs, Jaspar Saadi-Klein
Purdue Road School
There are currently more than 572,000 registered pilots in the United States, ranging from commercial UAS pilots to commercial manned aircraft. Although pilots are registered in each of the 50 states, where they live and reside can be seen through various forms of geospatial statistical analysis in a geographic information system. This talk explores spatial patterns of the FAA U.S. Airmen database through hotspot and cluster-based analysis of the database.

Indot Maintenance - Next Level, Michael E. Brinkerhoff
Purdue Road School
INDOT, similar to many municipalities, has developed structured methods to not only inspect assets, but to identify deficiencies in an extremely efficient manner. This has led to multiple metrics for tracking customer service resolutions, bridge and large culvert hit rates, and other similar type performance standards. While technology for data collection and analysis are heavily weighed to meet agency goals, the need for out of the box solutions has grown immensely. Going beyond the metrics, many field personnel are tasked with keeping INDOT assets functioning for the safety and mobility of the public. This has pushed INDOT to the NEXT …

Changes In Cdl Rules And Regulations And What It Means For You,
2020
City of Warsaw
Changes In Cdl Rules And Regulations And What It Means For You, Jeff Beeler
Purdue Road School
The CDL application process is changing. The DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will now have a registry of approved trainers that entry-level truckers must use, Class A and Class B CDL applicants will have separate standards, and there are new requirements for certain endorsements. Potential drivers will have to wait longer to get in a truck and start making money, and for some the training will be cost-prohibitive. Join us for a discussion.

When working near a river or stream, it is likely that a Construction in a Floodway (CIF) permit will be required. Consultants submitting permits to regulatory agencies can encounter costly delays trying to get them approved. This presentation will focus on the best practices to help streamline the permitting process by walking through the permitting process from a consultant’s perspective, including what projects need a CIF permit, and when to submit.

Purdue University
Unmanned Aerial Systems Modeling In A Geographic Information System, Joseph P. Hupy, Zachary Miller
Purdue Road School
The abilities of UAS to gather high-resolution imagery over a given area on a frequent basis are now well-known to those in the construction and excavation industries. Less well known, however, are the ways that UAS data can be used in value-added data analysis. Using real-world examples, this talk explores how UAS data can be used for modeling and monitoring in a geo-graphic information system (GIS).

Unique Utility Coordination, Bill Read, Thomas Randall, Corey Baugh
Purdue Road School
This session presents constructibility problems associated with raising a bridge about 9 feet under a 765 KV line. The solution for how to work under the line while complying with OSHA requirements, utility company coordination requirements, and the overall construction schedule was difficult: shut down the power line for construction, which had to be coordinated within a narrow window and also funded. Join us for a discussion.

Indiana LTAP
Pavement Recycling And Community Crossings, Patrick Conner, Megan Yount
Purdue Road School
Since 2016, the State of Indiana has awarded $400 million in Community Crossings Matching Grant (CCMG) funds to support local road and bridge projects throughout Indiana. Several projects have applied pavement recycling processes to rehabilitate and reconstruct urban and rural road-ways utilizing INDOT-developed specifications for full depth reclamation (FDR), cold in-place recycling (CIR), and cold central plant recycling (CCPR). This presentation covers how these construction processes were implemented with these grants to fix many pavements across the state.

INDOT
Marion County Summer 2019 Work Zone Coordination And Closing The Interstate, Roland Fegan
Purdue Road School
This is the story of a very aggressive construction season in Marion County, Indiana, resulting from extreme winter damage on and around I-465: how we bundled the contracts into lettable packages, overcame a rainy May and June with schedule modifications, and accomplished so much while protecting the workers. Work zone safety will be discussed—in particular the challenges of back-of-queue crashes—and a summary of results and future actions for INDOT and industry will be presented.

Underbody Scrapers And Wings, Bryan Pickworth
Purdue Road School
Farmington Hills DPW has developed an award-winning winter operations program by transitioning away from traditional methods. Considering the type and amount of snow in Michigan, you would find it surprising to know that Farmington Hills rarely hooks up its front plows; instead, the DPW relies heavily on the use of underbody scrapers and side wings for snow removal.
