Two Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) researchers recently authored articles featured in the 2022 March–April edition of TR News. TTI Senior Research Engineer Kay Fitzpatrick published the article Determining the Posted Speed Limit — which focuses on the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Project 17-76: Guidance for the Setting of Speed Limits. The project investigated the factors that influence operating speed and safety and used that knowledge to develop the Speed Limit Setting Procedure so engineers can make informed decisions about setting speed limits.
TTI Associate Research Scientist Todd Hansen authored the article Working Together to Improve Bus Stops about the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Transit Cooperative Research Program’s Synthesis 152: Transit Agency Relationships and Initiatives to Improve Bus Stops and Pedestrians Access. The project synthesized current state of practice for bus stop and pedestrian infrastructure improvement programs at transit agencies and other public organizations. Research support came from Associate Research Scientist Kelly Blume, Assistant Transportation Researcher Jinuk Hwang and Research Scientist Ipek Sener.
