Lunchtime Tech Talk! Webinar: Advanced Reinforced Concrete Materials for Transportation Infrastructure
2023-07-10 16:00 - 17:30
Please join the NJDOT Bureau of Research and attend our next Lunchtime Tech Talk! Webinar, Advanced Reinforced Concrete Materials for Transportation Infrastructure, to learn more about this recently completed research study.
New Jersey’s transportation infrastructure systems must resist conditioning from the natural environment and physical demands from service loading to meet the needs of users statewide. Reinforced concrete, which is widely used, deteriorates under environmental conditioning, contributing to durability and maintenance challenges. Notably, new materials, such as concrete materials with high ductility, have been developed to improve the service life of reinforced concrete transportation infrastructure.
In this webinar, Co-Directors of New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Materials and Structures Laboratory, Dr. Matthew Bendelt, and Dr. Matthew Adams, both Associate Professors at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, will speak about the team’s research conducted to assess the mechanical properties and long-term durability of these systems. Research results show benefits across a range of metrics suggesting the potential to substantially improve the in-service behavior of reinforced concrete transportation infrastructure. For example, life-cycle cost analyses were performed that show that bridge decks made with ductile concrete materials have high economic potential with structural deterioration occurring at a significantly slower rate compared to that of reinforced normal strength concrete systems.

SAE Metro Section Brown Bag Lunch: Onramp to our Clean Energy Future: Merging Transportation and Energy with V2G + V2X
2023-01-19 17:00 - 18:00
In 2022, the SAE Metropolitan Section Fellowship was established to provide financial assistance to students enrolled in the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University who have an interest in Electric Vehicle infrastructure issues.
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of academic and financial assistance leaders at Rutgers (Janet Cole and Stephen Weston in particular), the Fellowship is off to a strong start. Max Toth, a 2nd year candidate for a Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning at the Bloustein School at Rutgers will be receiving the first in a series of cash scholarship awards that the SAE Met Section has pledged to Rutgers honoring the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at the Bloustein School over the next several years.
Max will be the speaker at this Thursday’s SAE Met Section “Brown Bag Lunch” Zoom Webinar and I’d like to extend a personal invitation to all of you to join to learn about his research on electric vehicle charging infrastructures and some of its implications for the future of grid resilience, transportation and the environment.

Vehicles are already a substantial end-use of our energy systems, and the shift from fossil fuels to electricity brings with it many opportunities and challenges for both electricity distributors and the automotive industry. To meet carbon reduction goals may require tighter integration between the electricity production system and vehicles, which can be transformed from end-use to active participant in the system using bidirectional charging with known as V2G (vehicle-to-grid) or V2X (vehicle-to-many: buildings, homes, grid, emergency shelters, etc.). Electric school buses have long represented an ideal test case for exploring the formal integration of vehicle batteries into the grid, as fixed-route, limited-schedule fleet vehicles with large battery requirements. Max will trace some key moments of public policy interventions which led to increased models of electric school buses with onboard bidirectional charging, and pilot programs currently underway with utilities for V2G applications. He will also look at the challenge and promise of V2G from the grid management perspective. We will examine the implications for passenger cars, where pilots are underway both for managed fleets and for private cars, and key elements of technology enabling the merger of our electric grid and transportation network. Together we can explore the challenges and opportunities of vehicle electrification for the energy and transportation systems of the future.

Advancing New Jerseyʼs Climate Goals with Transportation Infrastructure Investments
2023-01-11 16:00
Join the New Jersey Climate Change Resource Center at Rutgers and the Georgetown Climate Center for this virtual Climate Academy to learn how different scenarios of federal transportation investments may contribute to New Jerseyʼs efforts to achieve its statewide 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas emissions limits.
The transportation sector is responsible for roughly a third of the U.S.ʼs carbon dioxide pollution, with about 80 percent coming from cars and trucks on the nationʼs roadways. With its authorization of $1 trillion over five years, the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) represents a historic investment in the countryʼs transportation systems and infrastructure. Those investments have the potential to contribute significantly to the nationʼs efforts to achieve major reductions in the emissions and pollution that contribute to climate change.
January 20, 2023, 12pm–1:30pm

Please join us for a free webinar hosted by FHWA in cooperation with the National Local Technical Assistance Program Association (NLTAPA) and the National Center for Rural Road Safety. The webinar is scheduled for December 6, 2022 from 1:00-3:00 pm ET/ 10:00am-12:00 pm PT. Please see below for registration information and forward this announcement to anyone else who may be interested.
State, local, and tribal stakeholders – come and learn how you can reduce fatalities and serious injuries due to roadway departure crashes with the application of SSA principles.
Safe System Approach to Roadway Departure
This webinar will focus on how the six principles of SSA can be applied to reducing roadway departures:
1. Death and serious injury is unacceptable
2. Humans make mistakes
3. Humans are vulnerable
4. Responsibility is shared
5. Safety is proactive
6. Redundancy is crucial
The four presenters will provide an overview of SSA related to roadway departure crashes and how the SSA principles have been applied to a variety of real-world scenarios.
Presenters and Topics to be covered include:
* Brief Overview of SSA: Mark Doctor, FHWA Resource Center. Mark will provide a concise overview of the Safe System Approach and how it relates to reducing fatalities and serious injuries for roadway departure crashes.
* County Safe System Plan: Jeff Linkous, Clinton County, Ohio. Jeff will describe the development of the Clinton County Safe System Plan and how the principles of the SSA were incorporated.
* Highway 41 Project in California: John Liu, Caltrans. John will describe how several SSA principles were applied to improve a narrow section of Highway 41 that had several cross-centerline head-on crashes.
* Utah Continuous Barrier Project: Shawn Debenham, Utah DOT. Shawn will outline a project on I-80 where UDOT was proactive by installing continuous high-tension cable barrier to provide redundancy and reduce potential for death or serious injuries as a result of rollovers following a roadway departure.
This webinar is free and open to anyone who is interested.
