The use of mainframe, mini and microcomputers has become widespread among transportation engineers and planners as a means of improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of data analysis...

Pavement Management Data Collection and Analysis
Pavement management systems (PMS) quantify the inventories of maintainable elements under an engineer/manager's jurisdiction including roadways, shoulders, bridges, culverts, guardrails,...

Portables Pay Off
A portable microcomputer with appropriate software, utilities and copies of job related records can establish a field office for almost any project. Examples of applications for the onsite...

Can Digital Terrain Data Cut Route Selection Time?
The use of photogrammetry in the collection of digital terrain and the use of a computer to process data is not being used to its fullest. Use of these two tools together increases access...

Just a Few More Tests and We'll Be Sure
This short paper presents a practical approach to data analysis, with the intent of suggesting that simple statistical methods - when tailored to geotechnical problems - do in fact provide...
