Human traffickers often use local, state, and national infrastructure and transportation systems, including all types of airports, to undertake these activities. Trafficking is often difficult to detect, and responding to potential instances of trafficking in an airport setting remains challenging. This webinar will present guidance and key information that airport staff and other personnel may use to develop a process to identify and respond to possible human trafficking activity at their facilities.
Cloud computing is changing how agencies plan, procure, implement, operate, and maintain solutions and services for Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO). Agencies are rethinking the need to acquire and manage licensed software and provide hands-on support for application deployment, operations, and maintenance. This webinar will share procurement, migration strategy, security, and new analytics and services related to cloud computing.
New tools and process workflows incorporating geophysical site investigation are available to make data-driven evaluations of bridge scour and erosion for risk assessment and resilient design. This webinar will describe the use of geophysical techniques for subsurface exploration and subsequent data analysis along with application for subaquatic characterization of historical and existing scour conditions. These techniques create holistic earth models for geotechnical analysis and risk and resilience assessment.
Attention to details in the volumetric acceptance process is important to ensure an asphalt mixture with adequate asphalt content. These details apply to the mixture design and acceptance. This webinar will share key properties that need to be included in the design and acceptance of asphalt mixtures.
Buried bridges, a relatively new and inexpensive form of highway bridge, have demonstrated good long-term performance. The efficiency and affordability make buried bridges a good alternative to traditional beam bridges. This webinar will explore successful case studies showcasing the exceptional performance of concrete and steel buried bridges, supported by multi-year measurements.
