JH 07-2 : Creating Useful Products from Connecticut's 2000 LIDAR Data Set
JH 07-5 : Incorporating Wet Pavement Friction into Traffic Safety Analysis
PROJECT NUMBER: 07-2
PROJECT TITLE: Creating Useful Products from Connecticut's 2000 LIDAR Data Set
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: T. Meyer and J. David
ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: May 2008
OBJECTIVE: To provide the public with access to the data and several standard derived products via the World Wide Web by creating web-accessible applications that return: 1) point cloud subsets as a list of ENU triplets; 2) triangulated irregular networks for a user-specified area; 3) digital elevation models for a user-specified area; and, 4) polyline data sets containing elevation contours.
PROJECT NUMBER: 07-5
PROJECT TITLE: Incorporating Wet Pavement Friction into Traffic Safety Analysis
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: J. Ivan and N. Ravishanker
ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: May 2009
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a statistical analysis of the association between wet pavement friction and road safety experience, controlling for pertinent roadway characteristics.
