This document constitutes a final report for MOU 39. It contains a User's Manual, Programmer's Guide, source code and underlying theory for the program MEDUSA. This program is capable of simulating both the normative driving dynamics and collision dynamics of an arbitrary number of vehicles. Its...

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 document is a users manual for DYN-OPT, a linear program that optimally and dynamically assigns traffic to lanes on an automated highway. The program maximizes the total flow across the highway over a pre-specified length of time. DYN-OPT solves a path-based formulation in which the highway...

In Automated Highway Systems (AHS), vehicles are equipped with automatic control systems to govern the accelerating, steering and braking functions in order to maintain an appropriate speed and spacing with respect to the surrounding vehicles. One concept of AHS suggests the implementation of...

The chemical selectivity and great sensitivity of the Extended X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy technique allowed the determination, in the paramagnetic phase, of the structural distortions induced by doping in the spin-Peierls CuGeO<Subscript>3</Subscript> compound. The distorted environments were analyzed as a function...</subscript>
