TravInfo is a Field Operational Test of advanced traveler information systems for the San Francisco Bay Area, sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The project involves a public/private partnership which seeks to compile, integrate and broadly disseminate timely and accurate...

This paper evaluates dispatching rules at timed transfer transit terminals. The evaluation focuses on total passenger delay and the number of passengers missing their connections. Analytical and simulation models are developed to evaluate the benefit of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)...

This report summarizes PATH ATMIS research for fiscal year 1999/2000. In each of the brief project descriptions we state the objectives of the project and outline its status and some of its principal results. These descriptions are not intended to be comprehensive or complete, but rather to...

TravInfo (TM) is an advanced traveler information system for the San Francisco Bay Area that began operation in September 1996 under a public/private partnership. The public sector component centers on the Traveler Information Center (TIC), TravInfo (TM)'s information gathering, processing, and...

This paper presents a discussion on how traffic information is obtained and how the congestion of a major freeway affects travel behavior. It reports on survey results of commuters affected by two highway incidents south of San Francisco. The survey collected information on travel behavior, how...

This study focused on determining whether advanced transportation services and information systems could enhance the mobility of disabled and elderly travelers in their use of transit, paratransit, or advanced paratransit services. The advanced proposed systems included regular paratransit and...

This report studies the effects of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) on traffic congestion in the Smart Corridor of the Santa Monica Freeway. Simulation modeling is used to estimate the potential travel time savings to divert traffic from the Smart Corridor to arterial roads when...
