The expected benefits of varying combinations of intelligent transportation system applications, such as freeway service patrol, changeable message signs, and ramp metering, were examined. The research analyzed the simulated results of a stylized network in a microscopic traffic simulator. The...

This paper examines the full costs, defined as the sum of privateand social costs, of a high-speed rail system proposed for a corridor connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco in California. The full costs include infrastructure, fleet capital and operating expenses, the time users spend on the...

In this paper we review the theoretical and empirical literature on the cost structure of the provision of intercity highway transportation and specify and estimate our own cost functions . We develop a full cost model which identifies the key cost components and then estimate costs component by...

The theoretical and empirical literature on the cost structure of the provision of air transportation is reviewed, and cost functions for air travel in the California corridor are specified and estimated. A full cost model is developed; it identifies and measures key cost componentsiquest;fuser,...

In this chapter, a Stated Preference (SP) analysis was carried out to identify the factors that influence people to choose highway assistance services (FSP) over private assistance services (PAS). The Los-Angeles FSP was used as a test case and the B/C ratios were also calculated based on the...
