Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents Phase Two, the third full year of a continuing research program by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to study vehicle and infrastructure-based Intelligent Transportation Systems technologies. Phase Two of Arizona's Intelligent Vehicle Research Program focused on the critical 2000-2001 winter season. Phase One of the research project was basically a partnership with California to test the Caltrans-PATH advanced snowplow in Arizona. One defining element of Phase Two was the search for a satisfactory new system that could be acquired by ADOT and installed on one of the State's snowplows for long-term testing. The final result of the search, in early 2001, was that the Arizona Transportation Research Center (ATRC) and the Flagstaff District concluded an agreement to purchase one of the 3M Company's Lane Awareness Systems, as well as five miles of 3M tape to guide the vehicle. The second major new factor in Phase Two of this research was the need for formal, unbiased reporting and analysis of the training and evaluation results for the 3M and Caltrans driver-assistance concepts. The ATRC therefore contracted with Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff to monitor the training and testing, to survey stakeholders, to provide evaluation results, and to make recommendations for the future. The ADOT research also was independently supported by the 3M Company, through their own evaluation program contract with the University of Iowa. Despite their prior lack of mountain road snowplow expertise, U-Iowa's driver surveys were of great benefit to ADOT, the ATRC and the NAU evaluation effort. This project faced a number of unexpected setbacks in the Phase Two winter of 2000-2001. Nevertheless, tests and training proceeded at Flagstaff with both systems. The project team developed creative solutions to many obstacles, and pushed ahead. As a result, a great deal was learned from Phase Two, as Arizona developed the first test program in the West with dedicated real-world high-altitude test sites for both the Caltrans and the 3M systems, only 30 miles apart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT's) SPR-570: Rural ITS Progress Study - Arizona 2004 provided 20 key recommendations for improved utilization of the rural Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructure. Two years later, in reviewing the outcomes of the 2004 study and the ongoing rural technology deployments, the Department identified several of the key concerns as still being unresolved. In general, ADOT has been successful in implementing the recommendations of the 2004 statewide review, but five areas of unmet needs or unfulfilled potential remain. These five gap areas are the primary focus of this new research project, to fully implement the potential of all of the recommendations from the 2004 study. The five primary focus areas are: ITS maintenance, weather information systems, highway advisory radio, motorist assist patrols, and information sharing. The research team interviewed the project's stakeholders from Arizona's rural districts to identify recent changes in their ITS deployment, goals, and visions for future deployment, as well as current needs and desires since the previous 2004 study. The investigators also reviewed the current practices and concepts of rural ITS among other transportation agencies throughout the country. This included conducting personal interviews with recognized industry leaders, attending industry conferences, and performing extensive research in literature, products (both off-the-shelf and in-development), and on-line. Based on the interviews and state-of-the-practice research components, the investigators developed a list of ITS concepts that might service the rural needs of the Department. Each of the five focus areas contains several concepts that address needs identified as original project goals, or new topics identified during the field interviews. Each discussion section provides a conceptual approach and application of ITS technology or state-of-the-practice development, a breakdown of benefits and challenges for implementation, implementation recommendations and a breakdown of the engineer's opinion of cost. Each concept has been ranked by the project advisory group based on implementation priority. A potential process owner and potential resources for deployment are also identified.

This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Human Factors for Automated, Connected, and Intelligent Vehicles Subject Guide: Ergonomics & Human Factors Automobile crashes are the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in over 1.25 million deaths yearly. Automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles have the potential to reduce crashes significantly, while also reducing congestion, carbon emissions, and increasing accessibility. However, the transition could take decades. This new handbook serves a diverse community of stakeholders, including human factors researchers, transportation engineers, regulatory agencies, automobile manufacturers, fleet operators, driving instructors, vulnerable road users, and special populations. It provides information about the human driver, other road users, and human–automation interaction in a single, integrated compendium in order to ensure that automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles reach their full potential. Features Addresses four major transportation challenges—crashes, congestion, carbon emissions, and accessibility—from a human factors perspective Discusses the role of the human operator relevant to the design, regulation, and evaluation of automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles Offers a broad treatment of the critical issues and technological advances for the designing of transportation systems with the driver in mind Presents an understanding of the human factors issues that are central to the public acceptance of these automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles Leverages lessons from other domains in understanding human interactions with automation Sets the stage for future research by defining the space of unexplored questions

Download or read book Dynamic Urban Transportation Network Models written by Bin Ran and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems are providing a welcome stimulus to research on dynamic urban transportation network models. This book presents a new generation of models for solving dynamic travel choice problems including traveler's destination choice, mode choice, departure/arrival time choice and route choice. These models are expected to function as off-line travel forecasting and evaluation tools, and eventually as on-line prediction and control models in advanced traveler information and traffic management systems. In addition to a rich set of new formulations and solution algorithms, the book provides a summary of the necessary mathematical background and concludes with a discussion of the requirements for model implementation.

Book excerpt: Intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) have the potential to improve the performance of the Nation's transportation system. These technologies apply to all transportation modes that use streets and highways. This report, called for in Section 6054(d) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, discusses whether nontechnical and institutional factors raise substantial barriers to the development and deployment of IVHS in the United States. The report is based upon results of research studies and comments from members of the IVHS community, State and local governments, universities, private parties, and public interest groups.
