THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE NEW AND INNOVATIVE WAYS TO INCORPORATE IVHS TECHNOLOGIES INTO MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES. MUCH OF THE IVHS RESEARCH DONE TO DATE HAS ADDRESSED THE MODES INDIVIDUALLY. THIS PROJECT FOCUSED ON INTEGRATING TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) STRATEGIES WITH THE IVHS TO PROVIDE THE SYNERGY AND THE COST SAVING ACHIEVABLE BY UTILIZING AN [ASSUMED] ALREADY AVAILABLE IVHS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF TDM STRATEGIES. SPECIFICALLY THIS STUDY WAS AIMED AT DEVELOPING MULTIMODAL IVHS APPLICATIONS FOR: (1) INCREASING THE MARKET SHARE OF MASS TRANSIT, HOV, AND RIDESHARING, (2) ENHANCING THE EFFICIENCY OF URBAN GOODS MOVEMENT, (3) REDUCING TRANSPORTATION DEMAND IN CONGESTED AREAS, (4) IMPROVING MOBILITY IN URBAN AND RURAL AREAS, (5) IMPROVING OPERATIONS AT PORTS, RAIL FACILITIES, AND AIRPORTS, AND (6) ADDRESSING AIR QUALITY ISSUES. A PROCESS WAS ALSO DEVELOPED FOR EVALUATING THE POTENTIAL UTILITY AND COSTS OF THESE NEW APPLICATIONS. SUPPLEMENTING THESE EVALUATIONS WERE A SERIES OF 81-DAY WORKSHOPS HELD AT SITES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO OBTAIN INPUT AND FEEDBACK ON THESE SCENARIOS FROM TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONALS.
