This paper addresses the impacts of Adaptive (Intelligent) Cruise Control (ACC) laws on the traffic flow. Semi-automated vehicles, such as ACC Vehicles, with the capability to automatically follow each other in the same lane, will coexist with manually driven vehicles on the existing roadway...

Signal-based intersection management will change when vehicles with intelligent capability are available in the future. Intelligent agents embedded in vehicle software will be responsible for vehicle control and route guidance. Intersection management can be achieved through the collaboration of...

New technologies are bringing Automated Freight Systems (AFS), which aim to reduce congestion, mitigate environmental impacts and enhance public safety, to fruition. The financing and deployment issues of AFS differ from other Intelligent Transport System applications. This chapter briefly...

Sharing data between GIS software (Arc/Info) and Traffic Demand Modeling Software (EMME/2) has long been an issue of interest to traffic engineers. A literature review and evaluation of current efforts on the data exchange is given in this paper. The authors also developed their own economical...

Spring Load Restrictions (SLR) impose load restrictions on heavy trucks during the spring thaw period. Although the policies have been implemented for many years, we are still unsure of their economic effects on truckers. This paper overviews practices around the world and sets up a framework to...
