We study a profit-maximising airport under one- and two-sided market structures. Our analysis reveals that the airport management will choose the welfare maximising price structure based on market characteristics and demand complementarity. We find that, in contrast with the traditional...

This research uses Total Factor Productivity (TFP) techniques, with which we develop measures of productivity performance for public transit systems of varying size and location, and use this baseline to examine the potential contribution of alternative Advanced Vehicle Location (AVL)...

This research builds on the contributions of MOU 357, 3001 and task Order 4119 all of which focus on methodological and measurement issues in benefit cost assessments of ITS applications. The important contributions of this work are not only providing methods for calculating benefits and costs...

AVL represents a radical change to many working in the public transit industry. When a new technology is introduced factor proportions change, responsibilities are altered and procedures change. There are threats to lines of authority, job security and responsibility. In all cases there are...

Technological innovations have recently changed many of the ways the private trucking industry operates. These changes have enabled trucking firms to monitor more closely the distribution of goods and services, improve productivity, and develop higher levels of customer satisfaction. Of these...

The study carries out an evaluation of TMCs (traffic management centers) using three methodologies; case studies, performance based regressions and time series analysis. The study is an extension of previous work that assessed the contribution of different types of intelligent transportation...

Many-to-many demand responsive transportation systems consist of vehicles which take passengers from their origins to their destinations within a service area. In dial-a-vehicle systems, in order to circumvent the undesirable feature of taxicab systems, vehicles are allowed to deviate from their...

This report describes the outcome of a set of experiments undertaken to assess the net benefits of ITS applications in a stylized urban and near urban highway network.
