In this paper, the authors, although agreeing that deployment is the ultimate goal of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) research and funding, believe that there is not sufficient knowledge of how, why and when to deploy specific ITS functions They contend that continued research and...

This report reviews the recent studies adopted in order to understand drivers' behavior, and in particular, behavior when influenced by an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). Different approaches were used in these studies: field experiments, route choice surveys, interactive computer...

The ITS Decision website has been developed for the user who is interested in learning about various Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies. Two tools have been developed that will help those users who wish to address a specific problem, obtain information relating to their...

This paper presents early findings from an application of advanced parking technologies to increase effective parking capacity at a transit station during the first half of 2004 in the San Francisco Bay Area (CA). It begins with an extensive review of the literature related to transit-based...

This paper shows how the evolution of multicommodity traffic flows over complex networks can be predicted over time, based on a simple macroscopic computer representation of traffic flow that is consistent with the kinematic wave theory under all traffic conditions. After a brief review of the...

In this paper, a general worst case stopping scenario for vehicle following is used to develop algorithms for generating the minimum safety spacing (MSS) for collision-free vehicle following. These algorithms are used to study the effects of vehicle characteristics and other parameters on the...

TravInfo is a Field Operational Test (FOT) sponsored by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration. The goal of the project is to implement a centralized traveler information center to collect, integrate, and broadly disseminate timely and accurate traveler information in the San Francisco Bay...

The Southern California Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Priority Corridor (Priority Corridor) represented a unique opportunity for the region. During the course of this federally sponsored six-year program, the region was able to develop a set of cooperative plans and actions that...

Presents a sketch of a system architecture for the control and management tasks of an intelligent vehicle/highway system (IVHS)
