Because of numerous freezing and thawing cycles happening during the year in the state of Ohio, pavement partial-depth patching has become a common maintenance activity in this state. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has a need for durable, more permanent high performing pavement and bridge deck materials that allow for a faster repair and for user safety. However, new or proprietary products are difficult to specify unless incorporated into a construction project for research purposes or procurement of the product complies with the ODOT's direct purchasing requirements.This research project was conducted in three main phases, literature review and selecting …

Whether driving a car in the real world or a simulator vehicle in a computer generated world, the procedural aspects of driving are very similar. The steering wheel is used to control the direction of the vehicle while the accelerator and brake pedals are used to control the speed. This similarity means that people who already possess the skill of driving in the real world are expected to transfer those existing skills to drive a simulator vehicle. Recognizing the need for skill transference, the typical protocol for conducting driving simulation experiments includes a practice drive, which affords participants the opportunity …
