Urban sprawl makes conventional transit less competitive and points to the need for more innovative and flexible demand-responsive transit systems in the future. To increase their efficiency, such systems can take advantage of the emerging advanced public transportation systems technologies,...

CarLink II was a commuter-based carsharing pilot project administered by the Institute ofTransportation Studies at the University of California, Davis (ITS-Davis) in conjunction with Caltrans, American Honda Motor Company, and Caltrain. Partners for Advanced Transit andHighways (PATH)...

This document is the final report for the 2003 Berkeley Highway Laboratory (BHL) project that is part of the University of California's PATH program and supported by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The primary objectives of this project have been to maintain, improve, and...

Traffic data from single loop detectors are one of the dominant data sources widely used in many traffic operation centers and traveler information systems. Speed estimation from single loop detectors is mainly based on occupancy data, a conversion factor from occupancy to density (which is...

This study explores the development and availability of Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) technologies. The study refines a taxonomy of transit technologies and uses it to explore the availability of new technologies and their impacts in transit agencies. THe taxonomy is based on...

The aim of this report is to study issues concerning fault detection and identification in vehicle follower control. The report discusses various potential fault modes among sensors, and actuators used in the vehicle following experiments in cars. It deals with issues of fault detection of...

This report presents the findings of its investigation into intermodal passenger transfer facilities' operations and services in urban areas of California and the opportunities for how the application of intelligent transportation systems may enhance such operations and services. The project was...
