Increasing recycled materials content in asphalt mixtures has numerous economic and environmental benefits, but ensuring good performance has always been a challenge. That’s because stiff, brittle, heavily aged materials can result in premature cracking. This synthesis project sets the course for revising TxDOT’s Standard and/or Special Specifications to recognize this challenge. The TTI video production […]

Video Summary Report — Traffic Control Device Analysis, Testing, and Evaluation Program
Making sure the numerous existing or planned traffic control devices — like signs, pavement markings and pedestrian crossing treatments — are performing as planned or are sufficiently appraised before implementation, researchers with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute conducted a high-priority, wide-ranging and multi-year evaluation project. The TTI video production group worked with the research team […]
Video Summary Report — Comprehensive Manual on Assessing Safety Hardware
A total of 37 Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) roadside safety systems have been crash tested in accordance with new national safety standards called manual on assessing safety hardware (MASH). The testing was conducted in three phases over a three-year period by TxDOT’s Bridge, Design, Maintenance and Traffic Safety Divisions. The TTI video production group […]
Video Summary Report — Capacity and Cost Benefits of Super 2 Corridors
The growing popularity of Super 2 corridors in Texas has prompted TxDOT and Texas A&M Transportation Institute researchers to develop and update a tool that helps pinpoint locations where new projects should be considered. The TTI video production group worked with the research team to produce a video summary report on the impact of the […]
Implementation of Bicycle and Pedestrian Monitoring Equipment
As the number of bicyclists on our roadways grows, so does the desire to accurately count how many there are and where they are traveling. TxDOT teamed up with Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) researchers to evaluate the best bicycle monitoring equipment and to produce a user-friendly database for public use. The TTI video production […]
