Michigan's Inventory-Based Rating System For Unpaved Roads,
2020
Michigan Technological University
Michigan's Inventory-Based Rating System For Unpaved Roads, Peter Torola
Purdue Road School
The current rating systems for unpaved roads lack stability and reliability and, therefore, provide little benefit as project- or network-level metrics. Since many of these systems are derived from paved-road assessment systems, they focus heavily on surface distresses rather than road width, drainage, and other features. This session presents the Inventory-Based Rating System as a stable and implementable method of condition assessment for unpaved roads, without the focus on surface distresses.

In 2016, INDOT began the implementation of an electronic consultant invoicing application with nine pilot firms. In March of 2018, the application was rolled out for use with most new consultant contracts. Approximately 2,500 invoices were processed through eInvoice in FY 2019, and INDOT is working on an enhancement retrofit for implementation on earlier contracts. In this session INDOT representatives will review the purpose and features of the application as well as planned future enhancements.

Aging Urban Corridors: Big Challenges, Big Rewards, Carl Camacho, Erin Wenger, David Borden
Purdue Road School
When revitalizing aging urban streets, an early, in-depth investigation holds the keys to success. Property ownership documents are gener-ations old. Utility records are often nonexis-tent. Century-old underground infrastructure must be located and evaluated. The up-front, fact-finding work is more critical, there’s more of it, and it’s more valuable to the end result. Find out how we set the stage for improving a section of US 40, the “First Highway in America,” that runs through Indianapolis.

Trends And Advances In Geosynthetic Interlayers, Mark Marienfeld
Purdue Road School
Geosynthetic pavement interlayers for asphalt pavement have been used for over 50 years. They have been improved to resolve millability, recyclability, and pavement performance concerns when millings with interlayer pieces are used in a new mix design. This presentation will summarize third-party testing for new geosynthetic interlayers and their performance improvements during milling and recycling of asphalt pavements. It will also highlight pavement performance when millings of the interlayer are used in a new mix design.

Indot Dnr Maintenance Memorandum, Sandra Bowman, Frank Sailer
Purdue Road School
On March 13, 1997, INDOT and the Department of Natural Resources signed a memorandum of understanding that exempted specified main-tenance activities from the Flood Control and Navigable Waterways Act. There has been much confusion and many interpretation variances in the interim. INDOT has been working with the DNR to update the MOU to provide clarity to areas of conflicting interpretation. Join us for a discussion.

A Novel Self-Healing System: Towards A Sustainable Porous Asphalt, Shi Xu, Xueyan Liu, Amir Tabakovic, Erik Schlangen
Articles
Self-healing asphalt, aimed to produce a sustainable asphalt pavement using green technology, has been studied in the past two decades. Technologies including encapsulated rejuvenator and induction heating have been proposed, demonstrated in the laboratory, and gradually evaluated in field application. This paper looks into the synergy effect of the above two technologies, where induction heating serves as the asphalt damage repair mechanism, requiring just 2 min heating time and encapsulated rejuvenator will replenish (rejuvenate) aged asphalt binder and reinstate bitumen’s healing ability. Moreover, the increased temperature from induction heating could in turn accelerate the diffusion process of rejuvenator into aged …
Contextual Adjustment Of The Ite Trip Generation Rates Using Wi-Fi And Bluetooth Technologies,

Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College
Contextual Adjustment Of The Ite Trip Generation Rates Using Wi-Fi And Bluetooth Technologies, Saba Doulabi
LSU Master's Theses
The ITE Trip Generation Handbook has been in common use for about half a century to estimate vehicle trips generated by more than 172 land use categories as a function of establishment size (floor area) only. However, observed trip rates display a huge error range across different sites. Although contextual adjustment factors can ameliorate the error in the ITE trip generation estimates considerably, local site-specific trip generation rates should be collected for this purpose. Due to the huge time and monetary costs of data collection, adjusting the ITE trip generation rate is ignored by many jurisdictions. The primary contribution of …
