The CarLink field test combined short-term rental vehicles with communication and reservation technologies to facilitate shared-vehicle access. The ten-month demonstration was implemented and researched by two teams at the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis. Project partners...

Transit systems have traditionally been developed independently from one another,certainly across different regional jurisdictional boundaries,however,even within the same regional jurisdictional boundary where the ramifications of this are most significantly felt.Little attention has been given...

This report documents the research results of Task Order 4205 (TO4205), Fault Tolerant Lateral Control for Transient Buses and Trucks performed during 2000-2003. In this task order, we studied the procedures for designing real-time lateral control systems for automated vehicles that are not...

Travel time variability is increasingly being recognized as a major factor influencing travel decisions and, consequently, as an important performance measure in transportation management. In this research project, we examine a number of questions related to travel time variability: How should...

This research project investigates the behaviors of vehicles in collisions, especially when they are closely spaced. The study uses a two- dimensional simulation program, EDSMAC, which allows longitudinal and lateral movements as well as the yaw motion of vehicles. The simulation model...

This is the final report of Phase I studies of road infrastructure requirements for small innovative highway vehicles. Project reports previously published provide statements of approaches and findings, and these provide the basis for the present report which strives for...

This study reports on a method to accomplish sensor validation and fusion in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The method is based on probabilistic and fuzzy techniques that express a confidence in the sensor data and take into account environmental factors and the state of the system....

This study focusses on the development of navigation and route guidance technologies with an emphasis on existing systems, industrial strategies, market approach and human factors considerations. By considering the different situations in the US, Europe, and Japan the report analyzes the...
