Row Management Indot's Expectations: From Soup To Nuts, Mark Tidd, Don West, Todd Clift
Purdue Road School
Delivering clear right-of-way for state and local projects requires the administration, scheduling, and coordination of multiple activities. Funding, schedules, fees, LRS data, and real estate services can cause significant bumps in the road. In this session INDOT Real Estate Division experts discuss ROW management expectations, share lessons learned with innovative practices (some the hard way), and provide advance acquisition options.

A Comparison Between 1d And 2d Hydraulic Modeling For Bridge Replacement Projects, Mark Bailey
Purdue Road School
In this session we compare and contrast the results of the two most popular 2D hydraulic modeling software packages to the traditional 1D HEC-RAS model against actual recorded flow data to see which software package is the most accurate. The accuracy of various engineering assumptions made with a 1D analysis will be compared to the results of the 2D models.

NIMBY (not in my backyard) attitudes in the United States have shifted over the past decade, particularly in communities that are embracing trails and active living components to attract residents and businesses. Carmel, Indiana, is one such forward-thinking city. This session examines the environmental, social, and economic impacts of trail-oriented development surrounding the Monon Greenway.
Lessons Learned From An International Airport Safety Competition: A Risk Analysis Approach, Caroline Marete, Mary E. Johnson
Lessons Learned From An International Airport Safety Competition: A Risk Analysis Approach, Caroline Marete, Mary E. Johnson
Purdue Road School
According to the Flight Safety Foundation, about 27,000 ramp accidents and incidences occur annually. These accidents and incidences affect airport operations, result in personnel injuries, and damage aircraft, facilities, and ground support equipment. Purdue students participated in the 2018 Air Transport and Aeronautics Education and Research Association (ATAERA) safety competition to improve airport safety at Kigali International Airport in Rwanda. This presentation focuses on the practical use of risk analysis and proposed solutions.

Results Of A Comprehensive Fleet Management Plan, Melody A. Coleman
Results Of A Comprehensive Fleet Management Plan, Melody A. Coleman
Purdue Road School
In early 2016 the fleet in INDOT’s Crawfordsville District was not only in poor shape, but there was no plan of action to turn things around. Through a targeted plan of preventative maintenance, biannual inspections, life-cycle evaluation, and budgetary planning/forecasting, today’s fleet is greatly improved—and has a multiyear replacement/financial plan. This comprehensive approach was not easy, but it allowed for a massive turnaround and largescale win for our operations and assets. Join us for a discussion.
Federal Project Management, Karen Hicks, Adam Makuley
Federal Project Management, Karen Hicks, Adam Makuley
Purdue Road School
Federal funding mandates went into effect on December 26, 2014, yet we find that many locals are not familiar with the process and have projects lapsing. When projects lapse, funds are no longer available. The ever-changing political atmosphere is a major contributor: as politics change so do staff, and many are caught off guard when federal funds begin disappearing. Join us for a discussion.

The Economic Impact Of Trails, Cory J. Whitesell
The Economic Impact Of Trails, Cory J. Whitesell
Purdue Road School
It is easy to recognize how trails are important to building local quality of life, but it is more challenging to assess the direct economic benefit of trails. This session examines case studies in Indiana and across the country to summarize how trails result in increased tourism spending, local economic activity, and property values. Strategies for achieving these economic impacts will also be discussed.

Incidence Of An Astronaut Not Sealing The Pressure Garment Visor On Reentry, Cameron M. Smith, Trent Tresch
Incidence Of An Astronaut Not Sealing The Pressure Garment Visor On Reentry, Cameron M. Smith, Trent Tresch
Journal of Human Performance in Extreme Environments
Audiovisual records of a Project Mercury pilot’s activities during an orbital flight indicate that his visor was left open during reentry and descent to the sea surface, phases of flight during which cabin pressure loss was to be mitigated by suit pressurization; however, the suit could not have been pressurized with the visor open. Thus, for a presently unknown reason, a critical safety step—sealing the visor and making a pressure suit integrity test before reentry—was overlooked in this flight. Later, Space Shuttle flights were carried out with visors unsealed for much of the launch and landing phases, with the false …
Leveraging Telematics And Weather Data To Study The Productivity Of Roadside Mowers, Jijo K. Mathew, Matt Kraushar
Leveraging Telematics And Weather Data To Study The Productivity Of Roadside Mowers, Jijo K. Mathew, Matt Kraushar
Purdue Road School
Mowing activities are usually reported by daily work orders and it is difficult to obtain quantitative information characterizing the utilization and productivity of the mowing operations. This research uses telematics data from commercial sensors to track the daily activity of seven mowers in the Fort Wayne district. Weather data from NOAA was also captured to estimate the weather related delays. During a one-month period, the mowers collectively covered a total of around 1170 miles and an area of nearly 1800 acres of mowing. Crews worked alternative work schedules with extended hours four days a week. On an average 9.5 hour …

The Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana (APAI), in collaboration with INDOT and LTAP, has developed a guide to assist cities and towns with Community Crossings requirements, from procurement through construction. This guide includes Indiana requirements for qualification, application instructions, bidding requirements, and a sample contract. Improved bid documents, asphalt specifications, and contracts will lead to better bids and higher quality projects. This is a must-attend session for any community with infrastructure projects in the works.
Fluvial Geomorphology And Bank Stabilization: White River At Stotts Creek Confluence, Jessica Eichhorst
Fluvial Geomorphology And Bank Stabilization: White River At Stotts Creek Confluence, Jessica Eichhorst
Purdue Road School
Fluvial geomorphology is the study of how rivers and streams move or change their cross section and adjacent land form over time under the influence of water flow. This presentation focuses on the fluvial geomorphology of the White River in the vicinity of the Stotts Creek confluence and proposed actions to protect I-69 (currently SR 37) from lateral migration of the river and subsequent erosion and scour.

A Gap-Based Approach To The Left Turn Signal Warrant, Jeremy R. Chapman
A Gap-Based Approach To The Left Turn Signal Warrant, Jeremy R. Chapman
Purdue Road School
Existing left-turn lane warrants are based on the use of either turning volume or measured turning vehicle delay. This approach fails to account for passive demand— that is, vehicles that would prefer to make a left turn but instead take a circuitous path to make an easier turn. This presentation and the associated research discusses a gap-based alternative to instead find the availability of turning opportunities as a surrogate to actual turning vehicle delay.
