This report is the sixth in a series on the physiological and psychological effects of flight operations on flight crews, and on the operational significance of these effects. Thirty-two helicopter pilots were studied before, during, and after 4- to 5-day trips providing support services from Aberdeen, Scotland, to rigs in the North Sea oil fields.

Transit patronage and service supply are highly interrelated. Transit patronage on a route is affected by other parallel and intersecting routes. An analytic toll is needed to examine these complex relationships in the transit system. This study has developed a quantitative model by incorporating these interactions into a simultaneous system. The c

This report is the ninth in a series on physiological and psychological effects of flight operations on flight crews, and on the operational significance of these effects. Long-haul flight operations often involve rapid multiple time-zone changes, sleep disturbances, circadian disruptions, and long, irregular work schedules. These factors can resul

This is the third report on Public Port Financing in the United States published by the Maritime Administration (MARAD). The first report was published in June 1974 and the second in June 1985. MARAD jointly with the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) has undertaken this study which focuses on public port financing as it relates to por

The purpose of this research is to develop a reliable analytical methodology to improve the overall design and operation of actuated controllers in coordinated systems and generate the parameters for coordinated arterial or network operations. The report summarizes the state of the art in coordinated, actuated controller operations. The methodology

This report identifies and recommends measures of impact that are applicable to the operation of at-grade light rail crossings within traffic signal systems. The key point in identifying measures of impact is to maintain consistency with traffic signal measures of impacts. The recommended measures of impact include average delay and queue length. T

The existing rigid pavement deflection data contained in the PES database are evaluated and found to be inadequate for any network-level study of the structural behavior of rigid pavements. The PES data were evaluated by comparing them with existing data contained in the CTR rigid pavement database. Having found the data to be questionable, we perf

A Specific Pavement Studies (SPS) program, formulated under the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), consists of nine experiments, four of which will be included in this DEL-23 project. Since the basic instrumentation plan proposed by SHRP was limited, Ohio Department of Transportation opted to develop a more comprehensive plan for DEL-23. Th

The objective of this special research study was to develop a construction engineering manpower management system based primarily on construction dollars and to determine if this type of system will be adequate for the GDOT.
In October, of 1992, the Housatonic Area Regional Transit (HART) District published a planning study providing an in-depth analysis of its fixed route bus transit service. This comprehensive operational analysis (COA) was the first detailed analysis of the service following HART's Fiscal Year 1991 service upgrade and Fiscal Year 1992 fare increase.

The U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. General Services Administration are sponsoring a governmentwide telecommuting program to increase opportunities for employees to work part of their regular workweek at an alternate worksite: at home or at a telecommuting center. A telecommuting center (telecenter) is a multi-agency facility that pr

In 1986, the Oregon State Highway Division (OSHD), in conjunction with the Public Utility Commission (PUC), and with the cooperation of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under took an experimental project at the Woodburn southbound Port-of-Entry (POE). The plan was to automate this POE to minimize the weighmaster and PUC tasks; improve wei

While there has been a considerable amount of research concerning the relationships between various cognitive measures and the selection and subsequent performance of Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs), data concerning the potential importance of personality factors are quite limited. As part of an expanded research program, selected personali

The third phase of research on human factors in aviation maintenance continued to look at the human's role in the aviation maintenance system via investigations, demonstrations, and evaluations of the research program outputs. This report describes the Office of Aerospace Medicine's Hypermedia Information System, released on CD ROM in early 1993. T

Introduction. The method of transportation for DoD cargo shipments should be the mode that satisfactorily meets DoD requirements at the overall lowest cost to the government. Transportation officers were responsible for determining the mode of shipping cargo, whether surface or air, based on supply priorities and required delivery dates, as establi
