Abstract:
Highway traffic noise is an ever-increasing problem for transportation agencies. The challenge presented to transportation agencies is to incorporate noise abatement into the highway environment without compromising the aesthetic integrity of the surrounding communities. In an effort to guide highway designers, a survey of practice was sent to all state transportation agencies and their equivalents in Puerto Rico and Ontario, Canada. The portions of the survey regarding noise-barrier materials, aesthetic visual quality in design, and public involvement in the design process are discussed in this paper. The literature review revealed a long-standing effort throughout Europe to incorporate many aesthetic features into noise-barrier systems and to use public preferences to guide design. Many new products that provide aesthetically pleasing noise barriers, in addition to the noise-level reductions required of transportation agencies, are now available. Innovative and versatile methods of using standard materials, such as concrete, have provided a continual supply of barrier designs. A multidisciplinary collaboration (including citizen representatives) in the design process has proved to be an effective method of ensuring that the best design is implemented for both sides of the highway environment. Collectively, transportation agencies, private industry, and institutional research programs should work together to advance the knowledge available in noise research and to further develop the aesthetic visual quality of the highway environment.

Abstract:
74 Background: Hematopoietic Cell Therapy (HCT) patients experience unique travel challenges and high out-of-pocket costs due to the highly specialized care required. We conducted a mixed methods study to understand current patient support programs in Ontario and other jurisdictions and a cost analysis to inform the development of recommendations to reduce the impact of remoteness on HCT patients and caregivers. Methods: Qualitative information on patient transportation and accommodation supports was gathered through informal and structured input from fourteen Ontario Regional Cancer Program Directors, Hematologists, Patient and Family Advisory Council and Aboriginal Navigators. An environmental scan of medical travel assistance programs within Ontario and in other jurisdictions was performed. A scoping literature review was conducted of published studies focused on inequities in receipt of cancer care in countries with Universal Health care. HCT patient travel patterns to each of the transplant facilities in Ontario were obtained from analysis of Cancer Care Ontario data holdings. Results: We concluded that travel assistance for cancer patients in Ontario varies considerably across the province, and that Ontario lags behind other jurisdictions in Canada and internationally. The scoping literature review revealed that patients who live far from specialist centres, for some diseases, have later stage at diagnosis, less timely access to specialist care, poorer outcomes, lower patient experience scores, and make treatment decisions based on distance. From the analysis of travel patterns for HCT patients, provincially 4 – 79% of patients travel for HCT based on their location (see table below). Conclusions: This study highlights the need to better support HCT patients in Ontario. As a result, a proposal to support accommodations for HCT patients was developed and approved by the Ontario government for implementation in 2018/19.[Table: see text]

Abstract:
A finite element analysis to predict the instability of soil–steel structures is presented. For the steel segment, beam–column elements that accommodate geometric nonlinearity as well as plastic hinge formation are used. Constant and linear strain triangular and quadrilateral elements simulate the soil media in conjunction with spring-type interface elements. A hyperbolic stress–strain relationship models the soil remote from the conduit; an elastoplastic soil model is chosen for regions of high stress gradients above and around the conduit. The formulation is capable of following the initiation and propagation of failure in the soil and its effect on the conduit stability. Analytical failure loads are compared with experimental results and those predicted by the Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code (OHBDC) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) specifications.

Abstract:
With the advance of deep learning networks, their applications in the assessment of pavement conditions are gaining more attention. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is the most commonly used network in image classification. In terms of pavement assessment, most existing CNNs are designed to only distinguish between cracks and non-cracks. Few networks classify cracks in different levels of severity. Information on the severity of pavement cracks is critical for pavement repair services. In this study, the state-of-the-art CNN used in the detection of pavement cracks was improved to localize the cracks and identify their distress levels based on three categories (low, medium, and high). In addition, a fully convolutional network (FCN) was, for the first time, utilized in the detection of pavement cracks. These designed architectures were validated using the data acquired on four highways in Ontario, Canada, and compared with the ground truth that was provided by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO). The results showed that with the improved CNN, the prediction precision on a series of test image patches were 72.9%, 73.9%, and 73.1% for cracks with the severity levels of low, medium, and high, respectively. The precision for the FCN was tested on whole pavement images, resulting in 62.8%, 63.3%, and 66.4%, respectively, for cracks with the severity levels of low, medium, and high. It is worth mentioning that the ground truth contained some uncertainties, which partially contributed to the relatively low precision.

Abstract:
Introduction Low-income people are most vulnerable to food insecurity; many turn to community and/or charitable food programs to receive free or low-cost food. This needs assessment aims to collect information on the barriers to accessing food programs, the opportunities for improving food access, the barriers to eating fresh vegetables and fruit, and the opportunities to increasing their consumption among food-insecure people in Cobourg, Ontario. Methods We interviewed food program clients using structured individual interviews consisting of mostly opened-ended questions. Results Food program clients identified barriers to using food programs as lack of transportation and the food programs having insufficient quantities of food or inconvenient operating hours. They also stated a lack of available vegetables and fruit at home, and income as barriers to eating more vegetables and fruit, but suggested a local fresh fruit and vegetable bulk-buying program called “Good Food Box” and community gardens as opportunities to help increase their vegetable and fruit intake. Discussion Many of the barriers and opportunities identified can be addressed by working with community partners to help low-income individuals become more food secure.

Abstract:
This study aimed to find the correlations between data found regarding debt risk and the 140 neighbourhoods in Toronto, Ontario. Debt risk was compared with select variables from available data, including education, health, environment, housing, economics, demographics, transportation, recreation, and safety. The purpose of this study was to help civilians and the government identify possible factors that lead to higher debt risk, as well as find solutions to reduce it. The data was retrieved from Open Data Toronto. A simple linear regression model was built to determine the factors that have a seemingly great correlation with debt risk. It was concluded that the percentage of people who receive social assistance, the percentage of people who applied for rent banks, and the number of reported sexual assaults in a neighbourhood had a positive correlation with increased debt risk. The result is that an age-adjusted rate of people who received breast cancer screening had a negative correlation with increased debt risk. Through the results, several solutions could be proposed to reduce debt risk. More education on safety and health can enable citizens to become more responsible and aware of their financial state. Giving other forms of aid that are not monetary may be beneficial in helping people get out of debt and become more financially independent.

Full text
Abstract:
An essential component of the new Guide for mechanistic–empirical design of new and rehabilitated pavement structures for the design of flexible pavement structures is the use of resilient modulus for base / subbase materials and subgrade soils. This study reports on resilient modulus (Mr) test results for unbound pavement materials that were obtained according to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standard T307–99. Laboratory tests were performed on 36 representative aggregates from across Ontario and empirical relations between Mr and the bulk stress were investigated, as well as the sensitivity of Mr to moulding water content and gradation. This paper proposes to replace the nonlinear relation between resilient modulus and bulk stress with a linear relation between the two, taking into account the uncertainties that include the effect of varying water content through stochastic analysis. The effects of deviatoric stress on resilient modulus were found to be negligible for the granular aggregates that were tested. The use of a linear relation was computationally more efficient than the use of a nonlinear law; however, differences in strain predictions were observed. The findings from the finite element simulations were consistent to other studies that compared solutions using various constitutive models.

Full text
Abstract:
In designing and assessing pavement performance, the uncertainty in material properties and geometrical variables of pavement and in traffic and environmental actions should be considered. A single factor is employed to deal with these uncertainties in the current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guide for design of pavements. However, use of this single factor may not ensure reliability-consistent pavement design and assessment because different random variables that may have different degrees of uncertainty affect the safety and performance of pavement differently. Similar problems associated with structural design have been recognized by code writers and dealt with using partial safety factors or load resistance factors. The present study is focused on evaluating a set of partial safety factors to be used in conjunction with the flexible pavement deterioration model in the Ontario pavement analysis of cost and the model in the AASHTO guide for evaluating the flexible pavement performance or serviceability. Evaluation and probabilistic analyses are carried out using the first-order reliability method and simple simulation technique. The results of the analysis were used to suggest factors that could be used, in a partial safety factor format, for designing or assessing flexible pavement conditions to achieve a specified target safety level.Key words: deterioration, reliability, pavement, serviceability, stochastic process, performance, partial safety factor.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the use of pervious concrete pavement structures (PCPSs) is essentially still in the trial stage in Canada, long-term and quantitative pavement condition data are not available. The existing approaches applied to assess pervious concrete pavement structure (PCPS) conditions are ad hoc and suffer from methodological limitations. A fuzzy set technique is proposed herein as an efficient tool for dealing with qualitative and incomplete pavement condition data on distress types, severities, densities, and weighting factors. Using this method, a comprehensive fuzzy condition index was developed based on Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) methodology and using fuzzy pavement condition data. This fuzzy condition index was converted to a single value that allowed for comparisons of pavement conditions using several ranking techniques. A case study of 24 PCPS sites was utilized to demonstrate how the fuzzy representations of the condition index compared with associated single values. It is shown that this approach can effectively provide extensive condition indices for PCPSs and rank them accordingly, using only limited and imprecise pavement condition data.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents a framework for resiliency planning in state departments of transportation and other transportation agencies. The development of this framework is motivated by the need for more resilient transportation systems, due of the increasing frequency and the effect both natural and man-made catastrophic disasters have on transportation systems. The resiliency framework is based on the urban transportation planning framework and is thus applied in the broader context of general transportation planning. The resiliency framework is then applied in a preliminary review to three statewide transportation plans to show the resiliency deficiencies of those plans and how the framework may be applied to increase resiliency. These plans are selected from three different states with diversity of locations and without any preconceived notions about their incorporation of resiliency in their planning process. This preliminary review reveals a reactive nature towards investments that increase an agency’s resilience. This may be attributed to the problem of limited funding for transportation investments, as well as, limited knowledge by the transportation agencies about the return on such resiliency investments, mostly due to the uncertainty associated with the occurrence of catastrophic disasters, especially the predictability of weather-related events. However, post-disaster transportation system overhauls provide enough evidence for the need for more systemic ways of addressing resiliency in planning processes.

Abstract:
As a result of the changing needs of society since the early 20th century, approaches to transportation planning have been continually shifting from highway-focused to multimodal, an approach which takes multiple modes of transportation into consideration. This evolution has been reflected in federal transportation legislation and continues to have many implications for transportation agencies, especially state departments of transportation (DOTs). The objective of this thesis is to analyze what state DOTs have done in order to adapt to the shift. More specifically, the project focuses on the organizational and funding structures of state DOTs. First, an organizational structure analysis of all 50 state DOTs was carried out. This analysis looked at how state DOTs incorporate multiple modes of transportation into their organizational structure. Secondly, the results of a statewide multimodal planning survey, to which 35 states responded, were analyzed. The survey gauged to what extent the representative from a given state DOT thought that their agency was conducting multimodal transportation planning. It also analyzed state DOT modal responsibilities, funding options, and characteristics that influence multimodal transportation planning. Lastly, case studies were carried out for six state transportation agencies: Florida DOT, North Carolina DOT, Oregon DOT, Virginia's Transportation Secretariat, Maryland DOT, and Massachusetts DOT. These case studies focused on organizational structure, funding, and multimodal efforts. Findings from the three different aspects of this thesis support the notion that highway is still the dominant mode in statewide transportation planning in most state DOTs. However, this research also supports the idea that this situation is changing, though more rapidly in some states than in others. Though it is not evident that one type of organizational structure is better than another, states have used the reorganization of these structures as a method for adapting to multimodal transportation planning. Overall, state DOTs tend to incorporate multiple modes of transportation into their organizational structure through multimodal divisions, separate modal divisions, or a combination of both. In addition to the organizational structures, some states have also restructured their funding mechanisms in order to make funds more flexible across all modes of transportation so that they may be able to better accommodate multimodal transportation planning. Those state DOTs with transportation trust funds and separate modal programs have generally shown more initiative in embracing a more multimodal approach to transportation planning. Besides organizational and funding structures, leadership, organizational culture, and institutional issues have been recognized as factors that influence the extent of multimodal planning.

Abstract:
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) required as part of the operating license for Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, that the structural integrity of the piping following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) be demonstrated. This is necessary to ensure that no subsequent pressure boundary failures will impede the ability to maintain fuel cooling. The injection of cold emergency coolant following a LOCA creates the potential for the occurrence of condensation-induced water hammers (CIWH) in the primary heat transport (PHT) system piping. Classical linear elastic piping analysis using the class 1 NB-3656 rules of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code failed to demonstrate the adequacy of the piping and/or its supports that were designed using the linear elastic rules of subsection NF for nine of the twelve piping models that comprise the PHT system. A decision was made to undertake a state-of-the-art non-linear explicit analysis in order to qualify the piping. Strain rather than stress limits would be applied similar to those being developed by ASME for nuclear packaging undergoing accidental impact during transportation. In order to address the feasibility of this approach, a non-linear analysis was performed on a portion of one of the piping systems. The piping was modeled as shells and again as beam elements with and without detailed modeling of the supports. After these initial simulations, it was determined that the piping could be modeled with simplified beam elements, however, the supports would require a more detailed modeling in order to determine the extent of support damage and the effect the supports have on the integrity of the piping system itself. This paper addresses the non-linear modeling of the piping models and discusses the modeling details, assumptions and analysis results. This approach is shown to be a useful alternative for predicting the extent of structural damage that can be expected by a Level D event such as a condensation induced water hammer following a loss of coolant accident.

Abstract:
Currently, over 70% of the non-hazardous solid waste generated in Ontario is disposed of in landfills. Approximately 45% of Ontario’s waste is disposed of in landfills located in Michigan. Disposal of residual waste in Ontario is undergoing a major shift. Pursuant to agreements made in 2006 between Ontario municipalities and federal and state representatives of Michigan, waste from Ontario municipalities will no longer be disposed in Michigan landfills post 2010. That has put enormous pressure on Ontario municipalities to seek alternative disposal solutions for the waste remaining after they reduce, reuse and recycle.

Abstract:
The Fresno State Transportation Challenge uses an action civics approach to support K-12 students in developing transportation-related projects that have a positive impact on the community. In 2020 the goal was to expand, refine, and create structures to sustain the implementation of the Transportation Challenge across subsequent years. As a result of the COVID pandemic, the process and goals of the project were adapted. The project was extended into April 2021 and was entirely conducted through remote participation. The focus was on two high schools. The expansion into the high school age bracket was successful and the experience with these two projects will allow for easier expansion in additional high schools in the future. One high school focused on the topic of active mobility, specifically biking, and addressed the challenge of how to get more students to bike to school. The other high school combined the transportation challenge with an economic vitalization project. The students were asked to also develop a modern transportation concept. Both projects exposed high school students to the topic of transportation and expanded awareness of transportation careers. Students also developed important competencies in the domains of problem solving, collaboration, communication, and leadership.

Abstract:
Although raised pavement markers (RPMs) have been widely applied by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), there have been multiple cases where snowplowing activities have damaged pavements as well as the raised pavement markers on INDOT’s roadway assets. Dislodged raised pavement markers could reduce the design life of pavements because they leave openings for water and debris to infiltrate through pavement section. Interviews with INDOT personnel indicated that the proper installation of the markers and careful attention to the tooling of the center line of the concrete pavements could alleviate this problem. To explore issues related to the proper installation of RPMs, this study (INDOT/JTRP SPR 4318) was launched by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT)/Joint Transportation Program (JTRP) to develop a synthesis of current practices on installation and maintenance of raised pavement markers at State Transportation Agencies (STAs) in the U.S. The study was conducted using a qualitative exploratory approach focusing on the review of current practices in installation and maintenance of raised pavement markers among STAs. Survey analysis and focused interviews with personnel from STAs, along with reviews of documents provided by STAs were the avenues used for data collection in this project.
