How artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the transportation sector through improved efficiency, prediction, and automation capabilities, benefiting from recent technological advancements and significant federal infrastructure investments. < Back 0 Click here to log in and like Source: HNTB.com Updated: March 25, 2024 How Transportation Agencies Can Leverage the AI Revolution How artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the transportation sector through improved efficiency, prediction, and automation capabilities, benefiting from recent technological advancements and significant federal infrastructure investments. Jeff Siegel and Craig Bettmann of HNTB Corporation examine how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the transportation industry by enhancing problem-solving capabilities through the integration of computing power, vast datasets, and human oversight. This revolution is characterized by the deployment of AI in various innovative ways, leading to significant improvements in data analysis efficiency, insights generation, and future outcome predictions. The practical application of AI tools, including intelligent signaling for traffic control, image recognition for tolling, and monitoring devices for asset and traffic flow management, is already making a tangible impact on agency operations. These advancements are facilitating a better understanding and monitoring of infrastructure and traffic conditions by analyzing extensive data from various sources. AI's significance is underscored by the opportunity presented by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), which enables transportation agencies to enhance operations and project efficiency through AI-driven automation and improved workflows. As the transportation landscape evolves, AI not only offers predictive insights and simulation capabilities for better planning but also necessitates robust data management strategies to maximize its potential in making transportation systems more efficient, safe, and sustainable.

With upfront planning during the site planning process, it is possible to design and implement well and septic systems that allow for opportunities to develop sites that may have previously been deemed undevelopable. < Back 0 Click here to log in and like Source: Kimley-Horn Website Updated: November 10, 2023 On-site Well and Septic Solutions for Industrial Sites With upfront planning during the site planning process, it is possible to design and implement well and septic systems that allow for opportunities to develop sites that may have previously been deemed undevelopable. The article, by Brandon Guillory, P.E., LEED AP, Michael Moriarty, P.E., and Eli Puente, P.E., of Kimley-Horn, discusses the use of on-site well and septic systems as solutions for industrial sites, especially in cases where traditional water and wastewater services may not be readily available. It highlights the importance of upfront planning during the site planning process to determine the feasibility of such systems. For water supply, the article mentions the use of well systems, outlining considerations such as the space required for well facilities, the need for sanitary control easements, and factors affecting the size and cost of the water well. It also discusses components of a well water treatment system, including the water well, disinfection system, ground storage tank, booster pumps, hydro pneumatic tank, and distribution system. Regarding wastewater disposal, the article explains the use of on-site sanitary sewer facilities (OSSFs) and the factors to consider during site planning, including usage rates, property boundaries, and site layout. It provides information on common usage rates for different types of facilities and suitable soil types for various OSSF systems, such as absorptive drainfields, low-pressure dosing systems, and surface application. The article emphasizes the importance of local regulations and soil characteristics in determining the feasibility and design of on-site well and septic systems for industrial sites, offering questions to guide planning decisions and the need for due diligence reports to assess the suitability of these solutions for specific projects.

As more logistics, retail, and e-commerce businesses seek to expand and optimize their operations, industrial outdoor storage (IOS) — also known as drop lots — continues to increase in popularity. < Back 0 Click here to log in and like Source: Kimley-Horn Website Updated: November 9, 2023 Industrial Outdoor Storage: More Than a Parking Lot for Big Rigs As more logistics, retail, and e-commerce businesses seek to expand and optimize their operations, industrial outdoor storage (IOS) — also known as drop lots — continues to increase in popularity. This article, from Kimley-Horn engineers Dave France, P.E. and Austin Watts, P.E. , discusses the growing popularity of Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) facilities, also known as drop lots, in response to increased demand from logistics, retail, and e-commerce businesses. These facilities provide outdoor storage for tractor-trailers, equipment, materials, and goods, with the U.S. IOS market estimated at $200 billion. While some investors and developers may mistakenly view IOS as simple vehicle parking lots, the article emphasizes that these facilities are complex and require careful planning, design, and construction. Various challenges related to permitting, design considerations, and operational needs are outlined. These challenges include addressing municipalities' unfamiliarity with IOS projects, adapting to varying trailer sizes, preparing for climate impacts, balancing screening and security, planning for adaptive use, selecting surfacing options, and consulting contractors early in the development process. The article also anticipates future trends in IOS development and permitting, such as increased integration into local zoning ordinances. In summary, Industrial Outdoor Storage facilities offer a lucrative opportunity for investors and developers, but their complexity and unique challenges must be addressed to ensure success. By taking into account the considerations mentioned in the article and working with experienced engineering consultants, developers can navigate the permitting process, design efficient facilities, and maximize returns on their investment in the rapidly growing IOS market.
