NCHRP 17-87 Enhancing Pedestrian Volume Estimation and Developing HCM Pedestrian Methodologies for Safe and Sustainable Communities

Christopher Monsere Sirisha Kothuri , Nathan McNeil
Portland State University is a subcontractor on NCHRP 17-87 award to Kittelson & Associates, Inc: http://apps.trb.org/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=4373 Challenge Despite its prevalence as a transportation mode, walking receives less attention than the motor vehicle mode in terms of national guidance and methods to support planning, designing, and operating safe, functional, and comfortable facilities. Solution Kittelson partnered with Portland State University and the… Read More

Characterization of the urban roadway atmospheric environment to evaluate transportation impacts and improve exposure assessment

Christine Kendrick
Urban arterials are landscapes that give rise to short and long-term exposures to increased transportation-related pollution. With high traffic volumes and a wide mix of road users such as those waiting for transit, pedestrians, and bicyclists, urban arterial environments are important targets for improved exposure assessment to traffic-related pollution and application of mitigation strategies. This dissertation project uses long-term roadside air quality and traffic monitoring from a… Read More
