The purpose of this project is to integrate a variety of geographic information systemscapabilities and telecommunication technologies for potential use in geographic network andvisualization applications. The specific technical goals of the project were to design, develop, andsimulate the components of an audio/visual geographic communications sys

The Advance Warning to Avoid Railroad Delays (AWARD) system is an Advanced Traveler Information Service (ATIS) implementation designed to help motorists and emergency response vehicles avoid delays due to railroad operations that cross freeway access frontage roads. Railroad operations in urban areas are usually carried out at low speeds which can

This report summarizes a thematic research programme "Advanced transit systems" performed at Chalmers University ofTechnology during the years 1994-97. The programme aims to investigate if Personal R apid Transit (PRT) may be a suitable system for urban areas in Sweden. Various research disciplines have treated the problem each from their perspecti

More than 3,300 U.S. airports, ranging from large passenger airports like Chicago O’Hare to small general aviation airports, are part of the national airport system and therefore are eligible for federal assistance. To ensure their continued safe and efficient operations, these airports plan a wide range of capital development projects, including n

Waste tires cut into 25 to 305-mm (1 to 12-in.) pieces yield a material" that is coarse grained, free draining; and has a low unit weight, thus offering significant advantages for use as retaining wall backfill. This project is a continuation of Phase I, in which the engineering properties of tire shreds were determined. The purpose of this project

We are pleased to be here today to discuss the air traffic control (ATC) automation program of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Automation and other functional areas such as communications, navigation, and surveillance are the main elements of FAA’s overall plan for modernizing the air traffic control system. The automation program, which

Airline deregulation has led to lower fares and better service for most air travelers largely because of increased competition spurred by the entry of new airlines into the industry and established airlines into new markets. As reported in 1996 and 1997, however, some airports have not experiences such entry and thus have experienced higher fares a

Approximately 209 retaining wall structures were visually evaluated under this study for long-term performance. The inspection included concrete crib, single-barrel and double-barrel culvert wing walls, metal bin, gabion, rigid concrete, Keystone block, tiedback, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE), TechWall, and sound walls. Significant structural

This report investigates several extreme examples of the long-term effect ofignoring the alcohol involvement-restraint use interaction using data forcalendar year 1995. By studying the interaction, the study attempts todetermine the progress of programs to reduce drunk driving and to encourage useof occupant restraint systems.
This thesis presents an analysis and comparison of manpower costs of three options for the United States Navy Helicopter force structure through the year 2020. The first option, the basic plan, leaves the force structure as it is today. The second option assumes the mission to support the Military Sealift Command (MSC) is outsourced and combines th

Traditionally, the United States Air Force's Air Mobility Command (AMC) has used the concept of direct delivery to airlift cargo and passengers from a point of embarkation to a point of debarkation. While this method of one onload and one offload for each cargo load makes cargo tracking, or in-transit visibility (ITV), easy, and makes deliveries qu

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent in March before seasonal adjustment, to a level of 162.2 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period ended in March, the CPI-U increased 1.4 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.1 percent in March, prior to seasonal adju

This report presents the recommendations and findings from a study of the feasibility of establishing a program for collecting and reporting commodity flow information for the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). Historically, the MDT has had a strong interest in ensuring that there is a good data base from which to determine Montana's freig

In November 1996, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored a Trip Generation Workshop in Washington, DC. Many leading non-motorized modelers came to exchange insights on the state-of-the-practice for non-motorized transportation modeling. For example, Bruce Landis of Sprinkle Consulting Engineers discussed their latent demand score model
