    Abstract
    We develop an empirical tool to estimate optimal highway durability in cold regions. To test the model, we assemble a data set containing all highway construction and maintenance projects in Arizona and Washington State from 1990 to 2014. The data set includes information on location, time, type (resurfacing, construction, or lane widening), pavement material and thickness, and total expenditure for these projects. Using the data, we first estimate how highway maintenance costs and highway duration depend on pavement thickness and traffic loading. We then calibrate the effects of different deicers on highway durability and thus on highway maintenance costs. Finally, we demonstrate how the estimated and calibrated model can be used by planners to make optimal decisions for highway pavement and winter operations in cold regions.

      Alaska's Inclusion in the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, The Work of the Bureau of Public Roads and The Transition to Statehood

      Naske, Claus M. (1987-07)
      This is the continuation of a research project which I undertook several years ago for DOT&PF. I delivered the final report in June, 1983, entitled Alaska Road Commission Historical Narrative. Subsequently, the Alaska Historical Commission provided an editing and a pre-publication grant. The University Press of America, Inc. of Lanham, Maryland accepted the revised manuscript for publication and it was published in November 1986 entitled Paving Alaska's Trails: The Work of the Alaska Road Commission. The present report continues the narrative from 1956 to 1959.
