This publication consists of 22 papers that explore laboratory tests of tire-pavement noise for hot mix asphalt, temperature effects on onboard sound intensity measurement of tire-pavement noise, annoyance of traffic noise on roads and rail, alternative uses of highway rights-of-way, wildlife crossing structures location and design, use of MOVES and AERMOD emissions models for conformity analysis, generating heavy-duty truck activity data for MOVES emissions model, and exposure of bicyclists to air pollution. This issue of the TRR also examines engine idling emissions from nonroad diesel construction equipment; air quality at bus stops; modeling roadway link PM2.5 emissions; environmentally conscious design of crest vertical curves; carbon footprint of dedicated truck lanes on I-70; predictive ecocruise control system; analysis of intersection emissions with MOVES emissions model; vehicle emissions estimates using traffic microsimulation models; inclusion of regional transit emissions in local greenhouse gas inventories; in-vehicle exposure to traffic-induced emissions; environment-responsive traffic control impact on roadside particulate matter and nitrogen oxides; decomposition analysis for carbon dioxide emissions from car travel; duty cycles, fuels, and emission control technologies of heavy-duty trucks; and quantitative decision-making framework for evaluating environmental commitment tracking systems.
