Prediction of the expected safety performance of rural two-lane highways / by Harwood, Douglas W.(CARDINAL)312183; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Office of Safety Research and Development.; Midwest Research Institute (Kansas City, Mo.)(CARDINAL)143054;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 107-119).Introduction -- Overview of the accident prediction algorithm -- Base models -- Accident modification factors -- Sensitivity analysis results -- Implementation of the accident prediction algorithm within the IHSDM -- Conclusions, recommendations, and future enhancements -- References -- Bibliography -- Appendices.Technical report.This report presents an algorithm for predicting the safety performance of a rural two-lane highway. The accident prediction algorithm consists of base models and accident modification factors for both roadway segments and at-grade intersections on rural two-lane highways. The base models provide an estimate of the safety performance of a roadway or intersection for a set of assumed nominal or base conditions. The accident modification factors adjust the base model predictions to account for the effects on safety for roadway segments of lane width, shoulder width, shoulder type, horizontal curves, grades, driveway density, two-way left-turn lanes, passing lanes, roadside design and the effects on safety for at-grade intersections of skew angle, traffic control, exclusive left- and right-turn lanes, sight distance, and driveways. The accident prediction algorithm is intended for application by highway agencies to estimate the safety performance of an existing or proposed roadway. The algorithm can be used to compare the anticipated safety performance of two or more geometric alternatives for a proposed highway improvement. The accident prediction algorithm includes a calibration procedure that can be used to adapt the predicted results to the safety conditions encountered by any particular highway agency on rural two-lane highways. The algorithm also includes an Empirical Bayes procedure that can be applied to utilize the safety predictions provided by the algorithm together with actual site-specific accident history data.Performed by Midwest Research Institute and sponsored by the Office of Safety Research and Development, Federal Highway Administration.

High tension : FDR's battle to power America / by Riggs, John A.(John Alan),1943-author.(CARDINAL)849061;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-274) and index.The battle between a powerful industry and America's most politically astute president produced one of America's greatest achievements, electrifying the entire nation. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office in the depths of the Depression, high tension power lines had been marching across the country for decades, delivering urban Americans a parade of life-transforming inventions from electric lights and radios to refrigerators and washing machines. But most rural Americans still lived in the punishing pre-electric era, unconnected to the grid, their lives consumed and bodies broken by backbreaking chores. Utilities cried that running power lines to rural areas would be unprofitable. But FDR knew better. In this story of political maneuvering, controversial legislation, giant utility holding companies, New Deal government organizations like the Tennessee Valley Authority, the packing of Federal courts, towering business figures, greedy villains, and the crying needs of farmers and other rural citizens desperate for services critical to their daily lives, John A. Riggs has chronicled democracy's greatest balancing act of government intervention with private markets.
