The roadside vegetation manager today is faced with dwindling resources, increasing environmental and legal constraints, and increasing public pressure to provide safe and aesthetically pleasing roadsides. Throughout the United States, and the world, roadside vegetation managers face similar challenges and opportunities. These guidelines draw on the long-term experience and expertise of these vegetation managers to provide the basic knowledge required to establish a roadside vegetation management program. The book includes supplemental appendices that include a state DOT survey that provides valuable summary responses from 30 states on vegetation issues; a detailed list of 40 common invasive weeds and how to treat them; and a detailed list of defined technical terms.

This guide can assist in planning and decision making regarding the alternatives available when impacts to wetland areas are being considered. The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance on wetlands mitigation to transportation designers as well as to personnel in construction, operations, maintenance, landscape design, and related environmental fields. It is not intended to be a highly technical manual for wetland specialists.

The purpose of this guide is to familiarize highway designers with the complex problem of highway traffic noise. A highway designer must do more than merely collect and evaluate noise data. They must also evaluate probable noise levels and the effectiveness of reducing highway traffic noise through location and design features and arrive at a cost-effective solution to the problem.

This book provides guidance to calibrate the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) software to local conditions, policies, and materials. It provides the highway community with a state-of-the-practice tool for the design of new and rehabilitated pavement structures, based on mechanistic-empirical (M-E) principles. The design procedure calculates pavement responses (stresses, strains, and deflections) and uses those responses to compute incremental damage over time. The procedure empirically relates the cumulative damage to observed pavement distresses.

The 2009 AASHTO Transportation Glossary is an update and revision of the 1983 Transportation Glossary and the 1998 Transportation Glossary, which was unpublished. The largest additions in terminology were in bridge and drainage subjects. The new glossary also includes lists of organizational acronyms, abbreviations, and other glossary references. Terms and definitions in this glossary were taken from an unpublished 1998 AASHTO Glossary and supplemented with definitions listed in AASHTO publications issued after 1998. Several additional sources were also referenced, including the Highway Capacity Manual, Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Code of Federal Regulations - Title 23, an FHWA list of roundabout terminology, and the Transportation Research Thesaurus. Glossary terms are listed in alphabetical order regardless of transportation mode. However, the glossary also includes two indexes - Subject Area and Keyword - which provide cross references for the user.

This 13th Edition of the AASHTO Provisional Standards contains a complete set of 41 provisional materials specifications and test methods. All Provisional Standards are approved for publication by the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee on Materials. Provisional Standards are standards which have been adopted by the Highway Subcommittee on Materials on a temporary basis for a maximum of eight years. A chronology of the year-to-year status of the Provisional Standards during the past eight years is included. At any time during the eight-year period, the Subcommittee can ballot to convert a Provisional Standard into a Full Standard. The Subcommittee, so far, has converted 58 Provisional Standards into Full Standards. These Standards are now regularly published in the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing.

The objective of the 2nd Edition of these guidelines is to improve the quality of the traffic information that supports decisions at all levels of the transportation profession. Traffic data programs are essential for State Departments of Transportation to accomplish their mission of ensuring safety and mobility to the traveling public. Traffic data supports capital investment programs and budgets, as well as effective design and maintenance programs. This document is a reference for professional traffic monitoring and establishes recommended national traffic monitoring practices that reflect current practice and advances made in the past several years. Since publication of the 1st Edition of the guidelines in 1992, many advances have been made in traffic monitoring procedures, and updated editions of the TMG were published in 1994 and 2001. The guidebook is intended for use by state and local transportation agencies, as well as others involved in traffic data programs.

The purpose of this manual is to describe the various procedures for subsurface investigation applicable to the transportation field. An outline of a sequence of operations for conducting an investigation is presented. Data obtained at each operational step should be interpreted and the findings applied to optimize each successive work step. These geotechnical data should be considered as influential or even critical in all planning, design and construction stages of the project.
