Researchers at Colorado State University have developed an automated pothole detection tool, which combines visible and thermal images to reliably identify potholes under various conditions, particularly in regions with challenging weather.
Researchers at Colorado State University studied various approaches to eco-driving in connected autonomous vehicles to learn how best to evaluate the methods for energy economy. Eco-driving is a strategy designed to reduce fuel consumption by minimizing accelerations and unnecessary braking events.
Bridges are an integral and important part of road networks, but monitoring their condition using traditional methods is expensive, dangerous, and laborious. This study examines the rapidly emerging field of drone-based transportation asset monitoring, focusing on analyzing the cost efficiency and effectiveness of drone applications in bridge condition monitoring.
Research at South Dakota State University shows that plastic from used water bottles can be turned into microfibers and used to improve the performance of asphalt.
