Updates
Teammate, Elias Bermudez, received contact from the New Jersey Department of Transportation. These is the standard requirements that high performance concrete must be meet. The four polymer concretes that will be tested against HPC and the specifications listed below are:
Epoxy and Vinyl Ester concrete will be provided by Sauereisen. The Polyester concrete will be provided by Kwik Bond. Methyl Methacrylate will be provided by Transpo Industries Inc.

Note: For this table HPC-1 are the requirements for bridge decks, so those 4 tests (ASTMC672, ASTMC666, AASHTOT277, and ASHTOT22) are the four that Elias is looking to conduct.

Testing Data with Different Designs

Updates

Using the data collected on September 22, 2017, transportation engineering leader, Thomas Sullivan, evaluates the numerous different ways the S. Warren and Route 29 intersection can be designed. Since there will be a walking trail replacing SB Route 29, we must choose an intersection that can hold traffic from crossing the path during certain times. One idea that may be implemented is intersection times. Since there is both a waterfront night club and baseball field, traffic must be able to get to these places. We are going to be researching the peak times for both the nightclub and baseball field.

First Update

Updates

Team Members Thomas Sullivan and Paul Duarte set up for their first car counting session. They counted cars going in all directions about the intersection of Route 29 and South Warren Street. They discovered that there is a 23% traffic volume increase after the last 5 years when going Northbound during peak hours.
