Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty-five years, a tremendous body of both theoretical and empirical research has been established on the `science of transportation'. The Handbook of Transportation Science has collected and synthesized this research into a systematic treatment of this field covering its fundamental concepts, methods, and principles. The purpose of this handbook is to define transportation as a scientific discipline that transcends transportation technology and methods. Whether by car, truck, airplane - or by a mode of transportation that has not yet been conceived - transportation obeys fundamental properties. The science of transportation defines these properties, and demonstrates how our knowledge of one mode of transportation can be used to explain the behavior of another. Transportation scientists are motivated by the desire to explain spatial interactions that result in movement of people or objects from place to place. Its methodologies draw from physics, operations research, probability and control theory. It is fundamentally a quantitative discipline, relying on mathematical models and optimization algorithms to explain the phenomena of transportation. The fourteen chapters in the handbook are written by the leading researchers in transportation science in an effort to define and categorize for the first time the scientific nature and state of the art of the field. As such, it is directed to the broader research community, transportation practitioners, and future transportation scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Automated Highway System (AHS) program component of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is a broad national effort to provide the basis for, and transition to, the next major performance upgrade of the U.S. vehicle/highway system, through the use of automated vehicle control technology. As part of the Analysis Phase, the Precursor System Analysis (PSA) was performed to identify issues and risks associated with AHS. This contract overview report addressed part of Activity "F" for Commercial and Transit Aspects and Activity Area "O": for Institutional and Societal Issues. In Activity Area "F", many areas were researched including: European mechanical/electronic guided bus state of the art technology summarization, motor carrier market segmentation by specific AHS Cluster Map descriptions, Dual Mode Transit prototypical applications for AHS, and right of way needs for Motor Carrier/Transit vehicles at stations/mainline locations. There is a correlation between the extent of standardization on the one hand and complexity of the ASH on the other. The more the characteristics of vehicles are subjected to rules and standardized, the less the expenditure for integrating an ASH into vehicles and guiding them automatically. The recommended concept is to allow ASH Transit to be developed on a parallel path, while at the same time, ensuring that its technology development program be subset of the larger ASH research effort. In Activity Area "O", Institutional and Societal Issues of ASH, many areas were researched including: previous research, focus group research/conduction/analysis, and institutional issues. The early tasks involved the review of literature and presentations on institutional concerns as they relate to ASH. Later tasks developed focus groups that raised concerns and allowed for "trial ballooning" of potential solutions of such concerns. ASH will have significant effects upon interstate commerce. Institutional issues relating to commercial operators and those that enforce safety and economic regulations on the operators will be chief among those with critical potential problems stemming from deployment of AHS. How those costs are allocated between industry and the different levels of government, and the effect of the costs on user fee and tax programs are key institutional issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he program described by this eight-volume report, a resource materials document type, identified the issues and risks associated with the potential design, development, and operation of an Automated Highway System (AHS), a highway system that utilizes limited access roadways and provides "hands off" driving. The AHS effort was conducted by a team formed and directed by the Calspan Advanced Technology Center. Primary Team members included Calspan, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Dunn Engineering Associates, and Princeton University. Supporting members of the team were BMW, New York State Thruway Authority, New York State Department of Transportation, Massachusetts Department of Transportation, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, Boston Research, Vitro Corporation, and Michael P. Walsh of Walsh Associates. Calspan provided overall management and integration of the program and had lead responsibility for 5 of the 17 tasks. Parsons Brinckerhoff provided transportation planning and engineering expertise and had lead responsibility for 5 tasks. Dunn Engineering provided traffic engineering expertise and had lead responsibility on 2 tasks. Princeton supported the areas of transportation planning and automated control. The 17 task reports (A through P plus Representative Systems Configurations) are organized into 8 volumes. This volume, which describes AHS systems analyses, covers 5 tasks. Automated Check-In Analysis (Task B) was supervised by Thomas F. Leney of Calspan. Automated Check-Out Analysis (Task C) was supervised by Douglas J. Funke of Calspan supported by consultant Caren Levine as well as Kimberly Witherow and Brenda Knight of Calspan. Lateral and Longitudinal Control Analysis (Task D) was supervised by Thomas F. Leney of Calspan and supported by Robert L. Gordon of Dunn Engineering for alternative system designs, infrastructure electronics reliability, and functional/cost analysis; consultant Ditmar Bock was a major contributor to sensor studies, and consultant Lorianne Ferger provided much of the review of the sensor state of the art. AHS Entry/Exit Implementation was supervised by Philip A. Reynolds of Calspan and supported by consultant Agamemnon L. Crassidis, and Robert Gordon and Egan Smith of Dunn Engineering for queing analyses. Vehicle Operations (Task L) was supervised by Farhad Pooran of Parsons Brinckerhoff/Farradyne Systems.

This task was performed as two independent and parallel efforts. Parsons Brinckerhoff performed the work reported in the main body of the report and Appendix A. That work was supervised by Marvin Gersten and supported by Jeanine Jankowski, both of Parsons Brinckerhoff. A separate and parallel analysis, performed by Princeton University, appears as Appendix B (with its own Executive Summary). This work was developed by Alain Kornhauser.
