Research at the University of Wyoming leveraged easily accessible data from roadside cameras to develop an affordable automatic road weather and surface condition detection system. The project’s results will help enhance the Advanced Traveler Information System by improving the identification of weather conditions using existing WYDOT infrastructure.
Research at the University of Utah is providing a scalable, privacy-preserving solution for improving culvert condition prediction. This method will enable transportation agencies to make more data-driven, proactive maintenance decisions.
A new method for improving measurements of soil shear stress, erosion, and scour will help engineers design bridges that are more resilient and longer-lasting.
Recent research conducted at South Dakota State University shows that E. coli contamination of stormwater runoff was reduced by an average of more than 44%, and phosphate levels were also significantly reduced in a pilot stormwater filtration that used steel chips and steel slag as a filtration media.
