S.R. 76 Test Section Viewer, State Study No. 330.
What this site is
A research data viewer for Mississippi Department of Transportation State Study No. 330: pavement measurements from a 1,000-ft test section on S.R. 76 in Itawamba County. It is used by the study team and its reviewers. It is not a public service and it sells nothing.
Who can use it
Access is by a code the study team gives to reviewers. The code is shared by a review group, not issued to a person. The site has no user accounts and never asks for a name, an email address, a personal password, a payment card or any other personal detail.
What is recorded
- Sign-ins and downloads. Each sign-in, failed sign-in, sign-out and file download is logged with the time, the role of the code used (reviewer, partner or administrator), the browser family (for example Chrome or Edge), and the visitor's network address with its last part removed. That shortened address tells offices apart, not people. The study team uses the log to see that the site is being used as intended.
- Wrong codes. To stop guessing, the server counts wrong codes per network address for ten minutes, in memory only.
- The access code itself is not stored by the sign-in and is not written to the log.
Cookies and browser storage
After a correct code the site sets a sign-in cookie so the code is not asked for on every page. It holds an expiry time and a signature, nothing about the visitor, and lasts 12 hours, or 30 days if “Stay signed in” is ticked. The site also keeps a few display preferences in the browser (the selected station, whether the side menu is open, whether the help tour was offered). These stay on the device. There are no advertising or tracking cookies and no analytics service.
Other services the pages load from
The site is hosted on Microsoft Azure, which keeps standard server logs. Map backgrounds are loaded from Esri and OpenStreetMap, and the typeface from Google Fonts; as with any web page, those services see the address of the browser that requests them.
Sharing
Nothing recorded here is sold or shared outside the study team and the Mississippi Department of Transportation.
