Accommodating Rapid Development In Design Level Forecast A Regionally Minded Methodology, Randy Kill
Accommodating Rapid Development In Design Level Forecast A Regionally Minded Methodology, Randy Kill
Purdue Road School
Rapid large-scale development presents challenges for traffic engineers to accurately forecast design-year traffic volumes. Prevailing forecasting methods, such as the ITE Trip Generation Manual, tend to exaggerate local traffic impacts on large developments and do not account for regional influences. This presentation outlines the methodologies for developing the design level forecast of two large freeway projects amid largescale private developments. This approach provides significant improvements over traditional trip generation methods and model-based forecasts.

Low Impact Roundabout Conversion, Brian W. Craig, Jay Vorisek, Johnathon Nail
Purdue Road School
Low Impact Roundabout Conversion—This presentation describes the planning, design, and construction of a $527,000 compact roundabout for the City of Westfield at 171st Street and Carey Road. This stopcontrolled intersection was converted to a roundabout by constructing a center island, splitter islands, and minor pavement widening within the general footprint of the intersection. The existing pavement was re-used by placing wedge and level to achieve the roundabout’s designed grades.

This project aims to help improve work zone driver safety in Indiana through driver education and public awareness campaigns. The project focused on two specific objectives: (1) to design a public awareness campaign to increase drivers’ knowledge and influence positive attitudes about work zone driver safety practices; and (2) to prepare educational materials to be incorporated into driver’s education or training curriculum prior to taking driving test and getting a driver’s license issued. The campaign was informed by formative research, conducted using a survey to assess public knowledge and attitudes. Based on these results, campaign messages were designed. The effectiveness …
Forecasting Electric Vehicle Adoption At A Local Level, Jonathon Sinton
Forecasting Electric Vehicle Adoption At A Local Level, Jonathon Sinton
Purdue Road School
The Biden administration has recently stated as a major policy goal that 50% of all new vehicle sales will be electric by the year 2030. However, current electric vehicle (EV) uptake sits at about 2.4% of current vehicle sales. Additionally, the administration’s goal is more ambitious than current forecasts predict will occur. Given the gap between the administration’s goals and the current EV trends, it is necessary to better forecast how current trends will progress and better understand what factors influence these trends. The purpose of this research is two-fold: to create better forecasts of EV adoption at the zip …
Design And Construction Of Drilled Shafts For Landslides, Malek Smadi
Design And Construction Of Drilled Shafts For Landslides, Malek Smadi
Purdue Road School
In general, weathered shale underlain by shale interbedded with limestone is the main forma-tion that underlies many of the slopes adjacent to the Ohio River in southern Indiana. During wet periods the weathered shale exhibits a sig-nificant decrease in strength, which has led to a number of landslides. In this session several case histories will be presented where drilled shafts have been used to repair and improve the safety of homes and roadways.

INDOT revised the asphalt specification in 2019 based on the concept of Superpave 5—that higher in-place density yields improved performance disability. This session will provide insight into the science of how Superpave 5 works while giving designers an understanding of how it affects design and construction specifications.
Railway Bridges Up-To-Date, Stephen Dick
Railway Bridges Up-To-Date, Stephen Dick
Purdue Road School
Railroad bridges are not foremost on people’s minds, but they are still a critical item in our nation’s infrastructure. The railroads have a major investment in their bridges, and with many beyond 100 years old, maintenance and replacement of them is still a major cost item. This presentation describes the current state of railroad bridges, discusses older and new bridges, and addresses the current regulatory environment.
Travel Time Data Using Google, Xinbo Mi
Travel Time Data Using Google, Xinbo Mi
Purdue Road School
When we need travel time information between an origin and destination, we used to drive the corridor and record the travel time data. Now we have a much easier way to obtain travel time data along a corridor: Google API (application programming interfaces). This is a very easy tool to use. All you need is a browser, a text editor, and perhaps my presentation, which is not highly technical. Everyone is welcome!

Indot Maintenance - Next Level, Michael E. Brinkerhoff
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, 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.
