Be aware of different charging/fueling standards. The absence of clear standards regarding voltage, amperage, phasing, “withstand rating”, and charging connectors makes it challenging for consistent…
Provide more protected bike lanes and bike parking to improve safety and support the integration of public transit and micromobility.
Based on the survey results, having more protected bike…
Place counters strategically at the site to minimize bypass errors. Careful selection for the location of counters at the site plays an important role in the ultimate accuracy of the collected count…

Throughout the design and implementation of a project, issues may arise that add time and money to the project schedule and budget. The following demonstrates the lessons learned from the schedule…
Methodology
An analysis was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the FITS project from a cost effectiveness perspective. The analysis provided estimates for benefits of the FITS project in…
As a part of each project, traffic counts were collected in the field to understand the traffic patterns and volumes along the corridors. The 7-day 24-hour volume counts (Average Daily Traffic), peak…
Benefits from an internet-based information system for tracking cargo from point-to-point were realized by increasing the efficiency of modal shifts from rail to truck, reducing errors in data entry…
