A new method for improving measurements of soil shear stress, erosion, and scour will help engineers design bridges that are more resilient and longer-lasting.
Dr. Kari Finley, a research scholar and Director for the Center for Health and Safety Culture at Montana State University, recently gave a webinar to discover how beliefs shape driving behaviors and how to amplify protective beliefs to improve safety on our roadways. You’ll learn strategies for changing traffic safety culture and get practical guidance to address risky driving behaviors.
Bridges are critical nodes in freight networks, yet limited funding prevents agencies from maintaining all structures in good condition. This creates the need for a transparent and scalable method to identify which bridges pose the greatest risk to supply chain continuity.
The statewide driver traffic safety survey provides baseline and longitudinal metrics for the Highway Safety Division and others to use in understanding perceptions and self-reported behaviors related to focus issues. A core set of questions addresses nationally agreed upon priorities, including seat belts, impaired driving, and speeding. In addition to the core issues, questions were included to better understand views on specific programs and attitudes pertinent to North Dakota drivers. Results show that more North Dakota drivers have adopted safe driving practices, but additional efforts are needed to improve safety on the state’s roads.
