Researchers are looking at advanced materials for roads and pavements that could generate electricity from passing traffic. Engineers are working on smart materials such as 'piezolectric' ceramics that when embedded in road surfaces would be abl.
Putting a dollar value on the savings from traffic congestion, noise and air pollution as a result of toll roads and tunnels will make large infrastructure projects more cost effective, according to a new study..
A pilot study illustrates the high economic cost of having too few safe places for commercial truck drivers to park and rest..
A new study has quantified the impact speeding and slamming on the brakes has on fuel economy and consumption. Aggressive behavior behind the wheel can lower gas mileage in light-duty vehicles, which can equate to losing about $0.25 to $1 per gallon..
Researchers are working to improve the reliability and fault tolerance of intelligent vehicle systems by combining the data they gather with that from other vehicles. This can, for example, extend the field of view of a car that is behind another car. Usi.
Ride-hailing services reduce drunk-driving crashes in some cities, reports a new study. The research is the first to look at the specific effects of ride-hailing, or 'ride-sharing,' within specific cities, rather than averaging data across multi.
Many of the infotainment features in most 2017 vehicles are so distracting they should not be enabled while a vehicle is in motion, according to a new study. The study found In-Vehicle Information Systems take drivers' attention off the road for too .
For decades municipal and regional governments have used various traffic management strategies to reduce vehicle emissions, alongside advancements like cleaner fuel and greener cars. But not all traffic management strategies are created equal, says transp.
Structural testing of a glulam timber girder bridge confirmed that they are viable, cost-effective options for replacing bridges on low-traffic county and township road..
Confusion over what is a 'safe following distance' has road safety researchers calling for a standardized definition to prevent tailgating..
