A thorough knowledge of highway issues has allowed RWDI to help eliminate potential problems in the design stage or even in retrofit situations on road and highways. Modifications to existing roads or construction of new roads often require RWDI's capabilities.
Air QualityExhaust from cars, trucks, trains, and buses may impact on nearby environments and residences. The negative effects of exhaust can be reduced if mitigative measures are implemented in the design of transportation routes.
SnowSnowdrifting on roadways can increase maintenance costs, and blowing snow can cause accidents. Strategically placed snow fences reduce the cost for fencing and maintenance, while increasing safety.
Noise & VibrationGovernment agencies require noise impact statements for new roads and highways. Sound / vibration may affect residential developments near transit routes. Mitigative measures can eliminate or reduce these impacts.
Accidental Spills and ExplosionsSpills or explosions in heavy traffic and near populated areas can create potentially dangerous situations. Assessment of risk, designation of escape routes, refuge areas, and response times can be facilitated through fluid modeling. |
