Monitoring and evaluation of cable median barrier on I40 and I55: The objective will be to monitor and evaluate the construction, performance and effectiveness of a high-tension cable median barrier system on two projects located on I40 and I55, respectively. This evaluation will be in conjunction with a previous evaluation of a proprietary median cable system on Interstate 430 in Little Rock. These sites have been chosen due to the high number of fatal crashes in recent years that have occurred due to vehicles crossing the median and striking oncoming traffic.
Basics of Value Engineering for Planners: This workshop consists of training up to 18 students in the basics of value engineering with specific focus on transportation planning and process. This workshop will include one or two 16 to 24 hour classes with lectures and transportation-related case study for exercises.
