Interchange Deceleration Lane Design Based on Naturalistic Driving Speed and Deceleration Rates
Dan Xu (1st Place Poster Award Winner) and Chennan Xue
(Poster updated 8/1/2018)
The Green Book provides the minimum lengths of deceleration lanes. The length recommendations provided by the 2011 edition are similar to the documents published in 1965, which were based on the data collected in the 1930s and had not been updated. (Fitzpatrick et al., 2012; Abdelnaby, 2014) Data was obtained from NDS dataset, including Video and Time Series Report.

Access Control and Geometric Features at the Interchange Terminals with a large number of Wrong-Way Incidents: Case Studies in Alabama
Md Atiquzzaman (Tie for 2nd Place Award)
Although wrong-way driving crashes are rare, they draw a lot of attention due to their severe outcomes. Two interchange terminals were monitored by video camera for 48 hours on a typical weekend. The two locations experienced 10 and 17 WWD incidents.

Combined AMAG & AM Manual
TRB's newest publications on access management draw on national and state research to respond to the need for a more coordinated approach to transportation and community design that preserves the safe and efficient movement of peoples and goods, provides supporting networks in developed areas, and reinforces desired urban form.
TRB 5th International Conference on Roundabouts
TRB sponsored the 5th International Conference on Roundabouts which took place on May 8-10, 2017, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The conference focused on research, design, operation, safety, evaluation, and practical experience with the increasingly used roundabout form of an intersection.

Access Management Application Guidelines (AMAG)
TRB's Access Management Application Guidelines (AMAG) focuses on the applications of access management concepts and provides research-based guidelines on access management treatments and procedures for their applications. The AMAG is a how-to tool for continuing the evolution of access management applications in the United States.
Corridor Access Management
FHWA/Safety/Intersection/Intersection Safety
Imagine a multilane urban/suburban roadway where traffic is heavy, yet moves well; accommodates drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists; allows easy entry to and exit from businesses and other destinations; and has fewer crashes and other conflicts. Chances are this road is benefitting from corridor access management, a strategy that seeks an appropriate balance between the safety and mobility of a roadway facility with the access needs of adjacent land uses.

Access Management Manual 2014 - 2nd Edition
TRB’s Access Management Manual, second edition, provides guidance on a coordinated approach to transportation and community design that is designed to help enhance mobility, provide greater mode choice, and improve environmental quality. The content is interdisciplinary, with guidance pertinent to various levels of government as well as to pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorized vehicles, including trucks and buses. Access management is addressed comprehensively, as a critical part of network and land use planning. Key updates include

Wikipedia Article: 7/9/13
Standards for Interstate Highways in the United States are defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in the publication A Policy on Design Standards - Interstate System. For a certain highway to be considered an Interstate, it must meet these construction requirements or obtain a waiver from the Federal Highway Administration.
