This report describes a study conducted at the University of Wyoming to evaluate the various factors affecting the accuracy of Road Profilers measurements. Highway agencies across the U.S. use Road Profilers to measure roughness and rut-depth characteristics of pavements. These measurements are utilized... The goals of this study were to depict the continuing educational needs of Region VIII state transportation departments, to devise alternative methods of educational delivery, and to identify and overcome institutional and technological barriers. Surveys of Wyoming and North Dakota transportation department... The overall objective of this study was to complete a comparative analysis of firms and economic development specialists' attitudes about the importance location factors in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska.

Some carriers have the regulatory authority to haul freight subject to regulation while other... The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between career stage, time spent on the road, and driver work-related attitudes. Three phenomena make the study of truck driver attitudes salient to carriers and shippers. First, turnover among truck drivers has traditionally been very high. Research... The Chaffee Junction to Chaffee Line segment (the Chaffee Line) has been analyzed using North Dakota's rail-line benefit-cost model that has been employed in previous studies. The methodology has been reviewed and accepted by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It was updated in 1992 so that the... |
