Resilience-based design and damage-resistant technologies for an enhanced seismic performance of bridges
Authors: Sarkis Ana , McHaffie Brandon , Palermo Alessandro
Published: December 2017

Seismic codes do not currently focus on earthquake resilience. Resilience can be broadly defined as the ability of a system to quickly recover after a large earthquake. Traditionally, the main code objective has been only to prevent collapse and ensure life safety. Performance-based design (PBD) is a supplement to force-based design (FBD) and intends to demonstrate that pre-identified earthquake performance objectives for the structure are satisfied. Yet, neither FBD nor PBD include explicit verification of the expected functionality of the structure after the earthquake. Resilience- based design (RBD) appears as a holistic design process which identifies and mitigates earthquake- induced risks to enable rapid recovery in the aftermath of a major earthquake. Resilience explicitly requires design of structures to sustain less damage in earthquakes, therefore, damage-resistant technologies are a key component of RBD. This paper gives an overview on low damage design and the latest damage-resistant technologies; and subsequently, presents a framework for the quantification of seismic resilience for damage-resistant technologies for bridges. The framework introduces reparability as a key design criteria and resilience as a key performance indicator for seismic design. Applying the proposed framework on the design phase allows the estimation, by defining different recovery strategies, of final recovery times and preliminary costs of the bridge after an earthquake. Finally, since resilience allows the benefits of mitigation technologies to be translated into concise meaningful terms to owners and decision makers, such as expected closure time, RBD concepts can lead to an increased confidence in implementing low damage technologies as a method for reducing damage to bridges in an earthquake.

Authors: Mukherjee Debabrata , Jain Abhishek , Balaji Manju
Published: December 2017

This paper presents the challenges and their solutions adopted for the design of two-span continuous integral overbridges supported by single row pile foundations without any interfacing pile cap elements, as part of A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon development. The paper highlights the geotechnical modelling limitations, construction requirements, contractor’s preferences, and other constraints placed on pile configuration due to load demands and form of superstructure. With respect to structural aspects of design, the paper discusses the design challenges and solutions associated with reinforcement detailing within the abutment and pier walls in absence of interfacing pile cap elements. It also touches upon use of strut and tie approach, to propose a safe and buildable detail around the pile reinforcements, and the reinforcements of the substructure element.

Authors: Brown Justin , Epp Lucas
Published: December 2017

Mass timber construction in America has been reborn with T3 Minneapolis (timber, transit, technology) – at 220,000 sqft and 7 stories, T3 is the largest modern mass timber building in North America. As a spec office building it is designed to attract the modern tenant, embracing green construction techniques and creating a warm interior environment with the timber superstructure. T3’s rustic core-ten façade resembles its historic neighbours while its interior highlights simplicity, modernity and elegance through exposed engineered wood products and connections. Over 1000 CNC’d glulam beams and columns and over 1100 2x8 NLT panels were prefabricated offsite and sequentially delivered to site for just in time delivery. The T3 timber superstructure was erected in 9.5 weeks. The T3 success story began with a convinced developer and design team, and carried through with exceptional team communication, collaboration, and pre- planning and eventually delivery from StructureCraft. Every detail was carefully discussed and realized with the intent that T3 represent a successful and competitive model for future mass timber buildings in North America.
Eglinton Crosstown and Evergreen Line LRTs - Structural Design on Mass Transit Projects
Authors: Ding Yuming , Woodhead Roger , Chan Samson
Published: December 2017

The structural design for urban transit projects has its unique challenges, such as train dynamic loadings and rail-structure interactions. Mass transit systems in an urban environment often involve guideway in tunnels, including bored tunnel and cut and cover tunnels. The tunnel structural design must take into consideration the integration of passenger train system requirements such as dynamic envelope, space for cables, emergency walkways, and train control.

Using the Eglinton Crosstown and Evergreen Line projects as examples, the structural design challenges and solutions for a light rail system are discussed, and lessons learned from past projects are summarized. The “Crosstown” is a light rail transit line currently under construction in Toronto, Ontario and will run across Eglinton Avenue between Mount Dennis and Kennedy Station. The 19-kilometre corridor includes a 10-kilometre underground portion, 25 stations and stops, and a maintenance and storage facility and operations and control centre.

The Evergreen Line is an 11-kilometre extension to the existing SkyTrain system in Metro Vancouver which was completed in 2016. It contains elevated guideway, at-grade guideway, bored tunnel and cut and cover tunnels, stations, and a vehicle storage facility.

Authors: Gupta M. L. , Bhide D. A. , Dongre Prashant
Published: December 2017

The existing Varsova Bridge across Vasai Creek, called as Bassein Creek Bridge when constructed, was opened to traffic in 1968. It is in Mumbai Ahmedabad section of NH-48, about 35 Km from Mumbai. Major cracks were noticed in the West side girder of the penultimate span from Mumbai end on 12th December 2013. The site was inspected for assessment of the damage. It was decided to replace the said span with composite steel girder. The real task was to dismantle the existing PSC span without any debris falling in the creek while working in a very restricted work area as well as within a very short period. This paper discusses the replacement done, deliberating about the constraints imposed from the design, construction and situation; formulating replacement scheme; design of new structure; dismantling the damaged PSC span and its replacement with composite deck i.e. steel girders and concrete deck slab.

Authors: Matejicka Lubomir , Georgakis Christos T. , Schwarz Andreas , Egger Philipp
Published: December 2017

Ice and snow accretions on bridges pose a hazard for motorists and pedestrians, as shedding accretions can have a significant mass associated with them. Various technologies have been tested on numerous bridges in an attempt to prevent accretion build-up or help mitigate the effects of the falling snow or ice on the traffic below. Most have been found to have problems with durability and cost-effectiveness though. In this paper, we present preliminary test results from ice shedding tests that have been performed on innovative cable surface modifications in the DTU/Force Technology Climatic Wind Tunnel (CWT) in Lyngby, Denmark. It is shown that contrary to the ice shedding of contemporary cable surfaces, the innovative surfaces retain the ice longer during the melting process, reducing the shedding ice mass and particle size, thus reducing the risk associated with the shedding ice.
U Shape Anchoring System: Concept Design and Key Experiments
Authors: Hu Ke , Shi Xue-fei , Ruan Xin , Ma Zuqiao
Published: December 2017

The anchoring zone of the pylon is the key partial design of cable-stayed bridges. Both the reliable transmission of enormous stay force and the convenience for structure and construction should be considered in design.

The U shape anchoring system is a brand-new anchoring system. It is developed on the basis of saddle anchorage. The steel strands pass through the saddle on one side of pylon cross section, then go around the pylon and come back to the anchor on the other side at the same cross section. This method mainly generates compressive force in pylons, avoids tensile stress from mechanism, and improves their stress performance.

To realize this concept in engineering, there are still some problems to handle, including arrangement of saddle space in pylons, specific structures for stays to rotate in pylons, guarantee for mechanical property of strands in the U shape anchoring system and construction plan in later period and so on.

These problems have been taken into full consideration in the concept design. And some tests about fatigue performance of cables, clamping performance of the V-shape pipes and construction techniques have been carried out to verify the system.

This paper will give a detail introduction about the concept design of this U shape anchoring system, and some key experiments.
Grandparents and grandchildren in the intergenerational transmission of knowledge, patterns and values
Authors: Piekhachek-Oherman Habriela ,   University of Silesia in Katowice
Published: December 2017

According to Mead’s concept, the vision of the world based on the authority of the older generation and patterns provided by grandparents is not valid any longer. At the same time, the elements of post-figurativeness and pre-figurativeness co-occur in the cross-generation cultural transmission. By being born and educated in the environment of older family members, a child acquires knowledge and gets acquainted with the values considered as traditional in the community. On the other hand, seniors’ learning new technology from the young enables being together of grandparents and grandchildren. This enhances talk, transmission of values and experiences as well as getting both generations emotionally and mentally closer.

The article deals with the study the findings of which show that the old bring religious, historical and moral values for family life. In this respect, seniority is an important human potential, indispensable in the upbringing of the younger generation. A large part of grandparents' behavior patterns is a reference to the behavior of grandchildren, determining their belonging to a particular group or community.

On the other hand, the emergence of new realities of life, the development of new models of lifestyle does not clearly indicate the devaluation of the authority of grandparents.In the research group, grandchildren use the experience, skills and knowledge of the older generation. Moreover, the phenomenon of post-visualization can be found when grandchildren become parents. In turn, training older people by the younger ones mainly occurs regarding practical skills related to using computers, tablets, cameras, smartphones etc. The phenomenon possesses an indispensable educational sense. It enables grandchildren to have time with her grandparents - communicating, transferring values and experience.

Published: December 2017

The Bologna Reform Process, which became the focal point of reform in most European countries, brought a wide range of quality concerns into the central arena of higher education discourse. Quality Assurance processes were supposed to support an increased institutional attention. The aim of this paper is to create a better the EUA's Input to EHEA Policy Making. EUA carries out a variety of activities that are underpinned by the belief that the main responsibility for quality assurance lies within higher education institutions. EUA Policy Statement on Quality and Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area аre identified and described in the article.It is determined the impact of the EUA in shaping European quality culture through the development of educational policy and decision-conceptual documents, the annual European Quality Assurance Forums to consolidate internal and external stakeholders, expand the dialogue format in the context of the EHEA changing landscape and the best practices implementation for quality assurance. The keynote presentations of the EQAF (2006-2016) focused on current trends in quality assurance. The quality culture approach promoted by EUAdiffers clearly frommore traditional quality management strategies, shifting attention to more development-oriented and value-based aspects.

Based on the results of the projects different approaches towards quality, quality culture, or formal quality assurance and accreditation procedures are focusedin the paper. The Institutional evaluation programme in higher education, realizedin 45 countries, is described. Other programs and projects that define the tasks of quality management are characterized in thepaper. Trends in quality assurance are presented in the article taking into account the national and European contexts. This paper outlines EUA key objectives for 2017-2019.

Authors: Khoruzhyi Grygorii ,   Kyiv National University of trade and economics
Published: December 2017

The author examines the concept of free time and such features as recreation, development of personality, fulfilling of needs, communication, transfer of experience. The attention is focused to the development of children and youth. In this connection the appearance and becoming of pedagogy of free time are investigated, in particular in Germany and Austria, and training for this area. It is an interesting reflection about sociocultural animation in France, Switzerland and some countries of Latin America. In the article the experience in implementation of «diversity concept» in the USA and Germany is studied.

The findings of the research show that critical understanding of leisure needs its philosophical reflection and adequate perception in the context of modern pedagogy, which means empowering efficiency for children and the young, as well as personal development. It is worth considering the emergence and formation of leisure pedagogy and training experience for the sector, gained in various European countries, in order to analyze the problem. Moreover, the practice of leisure activities should be considered as well. The study stresses the fact that sociocultural animation is widely used for education. Certain attempts to recognize the pedagogy of free time as an independent pedagogical discipline have not found sufficient support yet. Thus, it is considered an integral part of social pedagogy.

Pedagogy of the future

Published: December 2017

A view of pedagogy, at least in several possible contexts, is undoubtedly related to the sense of some states and the experience of those who are active creators of this discipline, the researchers or clients. The author suggests considering three aspects of the functioning of pedagogy in the academic field, the first two of which, lead to its relative «disability», destruction or anomaly with some negative consequences of the process. The similarity of the conditions of scientific work and the academic views of educators does not provide automatic cooperation in the last of the proposed dimensions of pedagogy - the pedagogy of hope or hope associated with pedagogy.

If we do not consider science as a professional, social, cultural and historical mission, with giving politicians and business representatives all the power to make decisions, we will cut the branches of the tree of generations, instead of promoting our achievements. The time has come to get up from knees, to create a new identity with usefulness for both scientific pedagogy and practice. It is possible that we should even change the language of communication with the outside world, preserving it in its structures and studying its tightness, highly specialized diversity.For example, if we want to write about social phenomena, we should present the widest possible approach to the topic: philosophy, anthropology, psychology – everything that can affect this issue. We are not able to carry out certain research in one or another field without careful study of the existing literature. Despite the fact that there are blurring boundaries in the field of humanities and social sciences as a result of interdisciplinary research, however, none of the positivist period selected scientific disciplines renounce its own identity. On the contrary, it tries to show a special contribution by metaphorizing the world of education.
The features of process of socialization of personality in conditions of hybrid warfare in Donbas
Authors: Savchenko Serhii ,   Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National Pedagogical University
Published: December 2017

The article reveals the features of process of socialization of personality in conditions of hybrid warfare in Donbas;proved ideas for developing the theory of socializationof personality in conditionsof hybrid warfare by updating and clarifying concepts and terminology. The article presents examples of external social and institutional regulators, including: mass media, national and cultural traditions, norms, customs (in our case, false, misleading, distorted, external values, and perceptions of the surrounding world). All this together becomes a regulator of personality behavior. And the more personalities are uncultured, the less attention they devote to their own development, the more they are socially irresponsible and not capable of self-determination, amateur actions and rule-making, and thus more convenient for external manipulation.

It is proved that the most well-aimed to determine the negative transformations in the personality as a result of a hybrid warfare in East Ukraine is the concept of «aberrational socialization», which means negative, false socialization of the personality as a result of aggressive and distorted by external influences, and «aberrational activity», the essence of which is the activity of such personality, antisocial aimed at achieving the objectives. The proposed new treatment process of socialization of personality, which is presented as a three-level model, the main components are: the assimilation of social norms, practices, values, roles, relationships, patterns of behavior, etc; playing them through their own activity; creating a new in social environment (the capacity for social innovation).

Published: December 2017

En el presente estudio reportamos características morfométricas y reproductivas del dzibabán, Melanoptila glabrirostris, algunas de ellas descritas por primera vez. El dzibabán es un mímido tropical endémico de la península de Yucatán muy poco estudiado. El estudio lo realizamos en la costa norte de la Reserva de la Biosfera de Sian Ka’an, México, entre febrero y agosto de 2008. Presentamos medidas de culmen, tarso y masa corporal. Proponemos un método de sexado válido durante la temporada no re­productiva, ya que los machos presentaron longitud de cuerda alar mayor que las hembras. La coloración del ojo puede ser un criterio suplementario para determinar la edad, puesto que los individuos de segundo año presentaron frecuentemente coloración ocular marrón, similar a los individuos de primer año. La temporada reproductiva inicia en abril y termina a mediados de agosto. El ciclo del nido es de 27 y 32 días y el tamaño de nidada es de dos a tres huevos. El macho construye la mayor parte del nido y la hembra incuba los huevos. La mayoría de los nidos se construyó en la palma Thrinax radiata y el arbusto Pithecellobium keyense. En conclusión, el dzibabán comparte características similares con Dumetella carolinensis y las principales diferencias son debidas a su distribución tropical.

Published: December 2017

Topicality. Physical education process in special boarding schools for children with sensory systems deprivation (SSD) has not yet been sufficiently studied and developed therefore requires the implementation of new tools, forms and methods aimed at preventing and correcting violations of spatial organization of body (SOB) of children with SSD that has become a prerequisite for the substantiation and development of the author's concept. Objectives of the study: determine the structure and content of the concept of the spatial organization of the body of children 6-10 years old with SSD in the physical education process in special boarding school. Research Results. The concept of the study is the provision for the formation of the correct spatial organization of the body of children aged 6–10 years from the DSS, taking into account individual abilities, types of impaired posture, indicators of physical condition and the use of subtle differentiation, depending on the degree of sensory impairment, secondary layers, concomitant diseases of children 6-10 years old with DSS, which significantly affect  their psychophysical and psycho-emotional state, adaptation and social integration of children with special needs in the society of healthy peers. Conclusions. The basic constituents of the concept of the formation of SOB of children with SSD are its prerequisites, conceptual approaches, conceptual foundations, technology of prevention and correction of violations of SOB of children with SSD, comprehensive diagnostics of components of SOB of children, programs for prevention and correction of infringements of SOB of children 6–10 years with VD and HD, control and criteria of its effectiveness.
THE EVOLUTION OF ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PEOPLE WITH PSYCO-PHYSICAL DISABILITIES
Authors: Gatsoeva Lily
Published: December 2017

The latest scientific studies proved, that 18 % of men and women with disorders of musculoskeletal system and 12 % of blind believe that the main problems for disabled people is not so variety of restrictions (means of communication or movement, etc.), as much as lack of social participation, shortcomings of legal and technical nature, what in general reinforce the social inequality between people. The problem of relationship between society and individuals with disabilities has always existed. It remains highly relevant today. A retrospective approach to the study of the past experience allows us to see current issues in the process of their formation, accumulation, development, transformation and consider them according to the specific circumstances of the historical period. The purpose of the study to explore the evolutionary path of relations between society and individuals with psycho-physical disabilities Material and methods. According to the purpose we set tasks to study and analyze data from scientific sources concerning the development of relations between society and individuals with mental and physical disabilities in the historical and modern aspect. And the possibility of use of physical education in solving these problems. The purpose and tasks were implemented by methods of analysis and sharing of scientific and methodological literature and practical experience. Results. The origins of negative attitude to disability is rooted in society itself and «disability» is a social phenomenon, not a medical problem of the person. Historical analysis helps to overcome subjectivity in management activities and to define pedagogical conditions of the implementation in practice of theoretical conclusions and recommendations. Ukraine because of its geographical position absorbed both Western and Eastern culture. Thus, in the world historically formed several approaches to the formation of a model of relations between society and people with disabilities: cultural, medical, social. Conclusions. History allows us to see current issues in the process of their formation, accumulation, development, transformation. Accumulation of views (in the period of intensive development of pedagogy) about the formation of physical qualities of children with psycho-physical features has become a prerequisite for the later learning, special physical education and training for children with violations of psychophysical development in special branch of pedagogical knowledge, namely adaptive physical education.

Authors: Jaroszewski Julian
Published: December 2017

At the end of 1948 single party ruling of PZPR (Polish United Workers' Party) started uncritical following of the Soviet state model. The changes concerned physical culture as well.The guidelines on the new model of sport and physical culture management were created by the resolution of Politburo (BP) of KC PZPR (Central Committee of Polish United Workers' Party) of September 8th,1949. The implementation of the tasks were handed over to the Head Committee of Physical Culture. In ŁódźVoivodeship it was at first the Voivodeship Office of Physical Culture, then the Voivodeship Committee of Physical Culture and Łódź Committee of Physical Culture that supervised the proces of sports reorganization. The biggest difficulty in the reforms was the lack of staff. The trials of its replacement by the Polish Youth Association did not compensate the purge that was carried out among the pre-war activists. As a result of the September resolution sports unions were reorganized into sports sections and sports clubs lost their legal status and traditional names. The impelmentation od the physical culture tasks into the six-year planning secured the financial resources for their realization.The level of physical culture was marked by its range, mass events and the «Fit for Work and Defence» badge.

The article analyzes the historical and social aspects of the development of swimming in Khersonregion. The problem that is based on the analysis of material and technical support for the development of swimming has been identified. There is the absence of specialized swimming pools for swimming lessons. The following research methods were used to solve the problem: literature analysis; analysis of archival documents; a survey; a comprehensive analysis method of historical sources. Practical value of swimming was researched and justified. It is noted that the inability to swim, limits the possibilities of a full life and active recreation. The classification of pools is given. The necessary number of swimming pools has been substantiated, depending on the number of inhabitants in cities and towns, recommended by the International Union of Architects. The paper presents the results of the research on the mentioned problem in question, namely: the results of survey among parents of primary school children of secondary schools in Kherson. The survey analysis revealed the need to create conditions for the development of swimming in the city. Basic swimming training should take place in summer in open water bodies; this is promoted by natural conditions of Kherson region. In the course of the research, it was established that there are about 60 summer children's recreation facilities on the territory of Kherson region. Since summer health camps located near water bodies, it allows massive involvement of children and teenagers in swimming activities. The duration of staying in the summer health camp allows systematically to go swimming and get a positive result.

Published: December 2017

Resumo A indústria do processo de recauchutagem de pneus gera resíduos que em sua maioria têm sido descartados sem nenhum controle. Este fato contribui para aumentar a poluição ambiental e favorecer a proliferação de vetores nocivos à saúde. Visando encontrar uma aplicação para esse tipo de resíduo, neste trabalho são apresentados resultados experimentais de amostras que tiveram o intuito de avaliar o comportamento e a viabilidade do uso de fibra de borracha proveniente de pneu, adicionada em forma de agregado no concreto, com o objetivo de obter um possível material alternativo para a indústria da construção civil, contribuindo para a proteção ambiental. Prepararam-se uma dosagem de concreto sem resíduos de borracha, para servir de referência, e três diferentes dosagens contendo resíduos de borracha, com substituição do volume do agregado em 5%, 10% e 15%. Aos sete e vinte e oito dias as amostras produzidas, no total de 80 corpos de prova cilíndricos de 15 x 30 cm2, foram submetidas ao ensaio de resistência mecânica à compressão simples. Conclui-se que com a utilização das fibras de pneu, o concreto sofre uma perca de resistência em todos os casos, contudo, os traços com as porcentagens de 5% e 10%, além de um custo menor, atingiram resistência para serem utilizados em elementos não estruturais, como calçadas. Palavras-chave: Pneus inservíveis. Fibra de borracha. Agregado. Concreto. Reciclagem.   Abstract The tire retreading industry generates waste residues that has mostly been disposed of without any control. This contributes to increasing environmental pollution and promoting the proliferation of vectors that are harmful to people’s health. With the aim to find an application for this type of residue, experimental results of samples with the intention of evaluating the behavior and the feasibility of the use of rubber fiber from tires were presented throughout this article. Such samples were added as an aggregate in the concrete, with the objective of obtaining a possible alternative material for the construction industry that would contribute to environmental protection. A dosage of rubber-free concrete to serve as reference was prepared, and three different dosages containing rubber residues were prepared with 5%, 10% and 15% volume substitution of the aggregate. After the seventh and the twenty-eighth day, the samples produced, in the total of 80 cylindrical specimens of 15x30 cm², were submitted to the mechanical test of simple compression. We came to conclusion that, with the use of the tire fibers, the concrete undergoes a loss of resistance in all cases. However, the traces with the percentages of 5% and 10%, in addition to a lower cost, reached resistance that allowed it to be used in non-structural elements such as sidewalks. Keywords: Wasted tires.

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os instrumentos de controle utilizados por uma associação hospitalar filantrópica situada no município de Teófilo Otoni – MG, que atende os Vales do Mucuri, Jequitinhonha e São Mateus. Foi aplicado um questionário, como instrumento de coleta de dados, junto ao gestor financeiro da entidade. Como resultado da pesquisa identificou-se que o hospital utiliza um serviço de contabilidade interno, prioriza no processo de gestão e controle interno a contabilidade de custos e utiliza meios de controle de viabilidade de projetos. A pesquisa também revelou que o que a levou a utilização de instrumentos de controladoria foi a necessidade de melhoria no processo de tomada decisões. Identificou-se também que a maior dificuldade encontrada pela entidade no processo de controladoria é a transição dos dados e informações que são utilizadas e a validação dos mesmos num sistema computacional integrado e a falta do planejamento orçamentário.

Given concerns with the performance and attrition of novice teachers, North Carolina allocated $7.7 million from Race to the Top to create the New Teacher Support Program (NTSP), an induction model developed and implemented by the state’s public university system and targeted at low-performing schools. In this study, we assess the associations between participation in the university-based program and the performance and retention of novice teachers. Overall, NTSP teachers were more likely to return to the same school. Outcomes varied by NTSP region, cohort, and dosage, with positive performance and retention results for teachers in the region and cohort with the most intensive participation and teachers receiving more coaching. These findings contribute to efforts to develop and retain teachers.
Evaluating the Impact of Socioeconomics, Land Use, Built Environment, and Road Facility on Cyclist Safety

With the increasing demand for sustainability, the use of cycling as an efficient active mode of transportation is being encouraged. However, the vulnerability of cyclists to severe injuries in crashes can discourage road users from cycling. Therefore, the study of the factors that affect the safety of cyclists is important. This paper describes an investigation of the relationship between cyclist–motorist crashes and various traffic zone characteristics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The goal was to assess the impacts of socioeconomics, land use, the built environment, and the road facility on cyclist safety through the use of macrolevel collision prediction models. The models were developed by generalized linear regression and full Bayesian techniques. An actual bike exposure indicator (the number of bike kilometers traveled) and the number of vehicle kilometers traveled were used as exposure variables in the models. The safety models showed that cyclist–motorist crashes were nonlinearly associated with an increase in bike, vehicle, and transit traffic as well as socioeconomic variables (i.e., population, employment, and household densities), variables related to the built environment (transit stop, traffic signal, and light pole densities), commercial area density, and the proportion if arterial–collector roads. The models revealed, however, a decline in cyclist–motorist crashes in association with an increase in the proportions of local roads and off-street bike links and an increase in recreational and residential area densities. The spatial effects were accounted for in the full Bayes models and were found to be significant; such a finding implies the importance of consideration of the spatial correlation in the development of macrolevel cyclist safety models.
Using Naturalistic Driving Data to Develop a Typology of Speeding Episodes

Speeding-related crashes continue to be a serious problem in the United States. A recently completed NHTSA project, Motivations for Speeding, collected data to address questions about driver speeding behavior. This naturalistic driving study used 1-Hz GPS units to collect data from 88 drivers in Seattle, Washington, to record how fast vehicles traveled on different roadways. The current project further developed this data set to redefine speeding in terms of speeding episodes, which were continuous periods in which drivers exceeded the posted speed limit by at least 10 mph. More than half of all study participants averaged less than one speeding episode per trip taken. Various characteristics of speeding episodes representing aspects such as duration, magnitude, variability, and overall form of speeding were examined. Cluster analyses conducted using these characteristics of speeding episodes identified six types of speeding. These included two types of speeding that occurred around speed-zone transitions (speeding up and slowing down), incidental speeding, casual speeding, cruising speeding, and aggressive speeding. Qualitative examination of the speeding types indicated that these types also differed in terms of the prevalence of additional risky situational characteristics.
