This chapter develops a model to simulate contemporary competition between network and point-to-point (PP) carriers in air transportation markets. In particular, we focus on the transition from the strategies of network carriers to the behavior of PP carriers. The concept of multilevel...

This paper presents a simple prototype to demonstrate the key functions of PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis for Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems). The prototype has a planning vector that allows users to enter and edit transportation actions, performance measures and...

This paper presents a functional description of PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems). The methodology consists of a process-based computer system that supports a series of mutually interdependent steps which progress toward developing and programming...

In recent years, planners have looked toward traffic information systems as an immediate solution to the congestion on U.S. highways. ITS systems are low-cost relative to many alternatives, and simple implementation allows for quick results. Alongside these investments has been research...

This paper discusses the integration of PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems) components. The integration is achieved by defining a structure for representing transportation improvement actions, performance measures and environment in terms of...

This study presents a framework for integrating planning and analysis in a computer supported environment that facilitates deliberation and consensus seeking. The planning process conducted with the aid of an intelligent facilitator benefits from on-line analysis capabilities that are integrated...

The Full Cost of Intercity Transportation Page ES-1 This study evaluates the full cost of three modes of intercity transportation: air, highway, and high speed rail. The evaluation is done within the context of the California Corridor, connecting the Los Angeles Basin and the San Francisco Bay...

This paper develops a data synthesis methodology in PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis Integration for Intelligent Transportation systems) using case- based reasoning. The reasoner contains mechanisms for matching, ranking and analyzing past cases in relation to current cases. The current cases...

Deployment of advanced technologies has enabled wireless internet access for commuters on various transportation modes. Such networked environments have enabled riders to engage in productive activities in transit. The ability to perform activities while traveling, especially paid work, may...
