Airfield Design for Large Unmanned Aircraft Systems—A Guide

Developments in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technology and the seemingly endless applications of this technology offer society a broad spectrum of enhancements and solutions to many problems. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Research Report 238: Airfield Design for Large Unmanned Aircraft Systems—A Guide provides a fundamental understanding of large UAS (L-UAS) and their typical supporting infrastructure needs, which will assist airport sponsors with determining potential enha [...]

Development of a Small Aircraft Runway Length Analysis Tool

An important operational characteristic of an airport is the length of its longest runway. The longest runway determines the types of aircraft that can use the airport and dictates the operational limitations at the airport. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Web-Only Document 54: Development of a Small Aircraft Runway Length Analysis Tool provides a user-friendly computer tool to help airport planners and designers estimate runway length requirements for a variety of aircraft and design [...]

Dynamic Curbside Management: Keeping Pace with New and Emerging Mobility and Technology in the Public Right-of-Way, Part 1: Dynamic Curbside Management Guide and Part 2: Conduct of Research Report

Dynamic curbside management has been the purview of cities, with much of the relevant research and guidance directed toward local transportation agencies. However, state departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, and other regional agencies can be important partners for these local entities because, in many cases, roadways and other curb zone elements are part of the regional or state network. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Web-Only Document 340: Dy [...]

The PEMS Portable Traffic Monitoring and Advisory System is a portable, solar powered traffic management system that uses wireless communications. No local infrastructure is required. The system consists of portable cameras, portable traffic sensors, and portable changeable message signs communicating via a computer server.

PEMS equipment can be used for traffic monitoring at planned events such as construction work zones, college graduations, sporting events, and used for unplanned events with advance warning such as hurricanes, floods, and prolonged incidents. The system includes portable field devices (sensors, cameras, signs) a secure computer server, a web site, and an XML interface for integration with existing traffic management systems.

The PEMS Portable Traffic Monitoring System requires no local infrastructure. It uses solar power and wireless communications to operate.

By following an open architecture, the PEMS Portable Traffic Monitoring System allows easy integration of additional components and interoperates with most commercially available traffic management systems.
