A linear model structure applicable to identification of the UH-60 flightdynamics in hover and forward flight without rotor-state data is developed. Thestructure of the model is determined through consideration of the importantdynamic modes of the UH-60 in the frequenty range of interest for flight controlapplications. Included are the six fuselage

The current system of roadway pricing and finance in California primarily employs fees applied to retail motor fuel sales. Consequently, most users of roadways pay a price for road use that is in proportion to fuel consumed, rather than in a manner that corresponds to their individual imposition of costs on the particular roadways actually used. Th

Studies have shown that older drivers have higher rates of accidents, injuries, and fatalities on a per-mile-driven basis. A major cause ofroadway accidents for older drivers is failure to heed traffic signs.Previous research found that older drivers have difficulty detecting, reading, understanding, and responding to some symbolic traffic signs. T

This research explored lessons that have been learned involving human factors in the design and operation of control centers that were similar to a generic, intelligent vehicle highway system (IVHS) class traffic management center (TMC). During an initial phase, brief visits were made at 10 existing operation control centers. Three of these were se
