Studying the Effects of Traffic-Calming Bicycle Boulevards on Physical Activity and Active Transportation

Jennifer Dill Nathan McNeil
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effects of new bicycle boulevards in Portland, OR on physical activity for recreation and transportation for families with children. Data was collected pre- and post-boulevards, roughly one year apart. Objective physical activity data was collected… Read More

Peak of the Day or the Daily Slog: Commuting and Subjective Well-Being

Oliver Smith
To understand the impact of daily travel on personal and societal well-being, researchers are developing measurement techniques that go beyond satisfaction-based measures of travel. Metrics related Subjective Well-Being (SWB), defined as an evaluation of one’s happiness or life satisfaction, are… Read More

Lightweight Buckling Restrained Brace Prototype Evaluation

Peter Dusicka
Buckling restrained brace (BRB) is a structural component that has been developed to provide known and repeatable strength in both tension and compression. Over the last couple ofdecades, BRBs have seen broad adoption in buildings in areas ofmoderate to high seismicity due to their predictable… Read More

Evaluation of an Eco-Driving Program: Changing Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior

Donald Truxillo
Economical, ecological, and safe driving – eco-driving – is aimed at reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (Martin, Chan, & Shaheen, 2012). The adoption of energy-efficient driving styles and practices has been recognized as a means of reducing energy consumption, and estimates of… Read More

Evaluation of the Effect of Supportive Services on the Success of Apprentices in a Highway Trade

Maura Kelly
This project evaluates the impact of a Bureau of Labor and Industry (BOLI) and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) initiative that provides supportive services (i.e., child care subsidies; fuel assistance; support for overnight travel; and tools, clothing, and personal protective equipment)… Read More

This technology transfer project provided practical information about how to address homeless encampments on public right-of-way to transportation professionals, including Federal Highway Administration officials, Oregon public works directors, transportation educators and students. Through a… Read More

Evaluation of Bike Boxes at Signalized Intersections: Phase 2

Christopher Monsere
Analyses of motor vehicle and police-reported crash data reveal that nearly 68 percent of bicycle crashes in Portland, Oregon occur at intersections (PDOT, 2004) which is consistent with national trends (Hunter et al., 1996). Hunter et al. (1996) also found that 12.2% of crashes involving… Read More

Increasing Bicycling for Transportation: The Role of Cyclist Type and Infrastructure

Jennifer Dill
With an increased focus on reducing the effects of motor vehicle use on the environment, neighborhood livability, safety, and health, planners, engineers, and policy makers are looking to increase the attractiveness of walking and bicycling. The potential for bicycling as a transportation mode has… Read More

Operational Guidance for Bicycle-Specific Traffic Signals

Christopher Monsere Miguel Andres Figliozzi
The research consisted of two phases: 1) a synthesis of practice and 2) and analysis of cyclist performance characteristics. The synthesis of current practice reviewed the literature, current engineering design and operational guidance documents, and surveyed the jurisdictions about their current… Read More

Wider Dissemination of Household Travel Survey Data Using Geographical Perturbation Methods

Kelly Clifton
Public agencies spend considerable resources collecting information about passenger travel in household travel surveys. These data are valuable for the rich and detailed information they provide, which contribute to regional and statewide travel demand models. These data have utility beyond travel… Read More

Design and Implementation of Pedestrian and Bicycle-Specific Data Collection Methods in Oregon

Miguel Andres Figliozzi Christopher Monsere
Although there is a growing need to access accurate and reliable pedestrian and bicycle data, there is no statewide system to collect data or plan future data collection efforts in the state of Oregon. To address these issues this research conducted a comprehensive review of pedestrian and bicycle… Read More
