 |
Telecommuting and COVID-19 -- Assessing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on telecommuting and travel in California, with comparisons across counties, regions, and other states [ UCITS Webinar (17 June 2021)] |
 |
| Complex Travel Behavior of Transit Riders -- Analysis utilizing full activity-travel tours and patterns as the basic units of analysis. Following basic descriptive analyses, Latent Class Analysis was used to describe the activity pattern behaviors of all transit users and Structural Equation Models were applied to identify the factors that determine work tour choices. PSR Project Page. |
 |
 |
Interregional Travel -- To assess the state-of-the-practice in forecasting interregional travel in California, to consider alternate methods to better represent interregional travel, and to make recommendations on data needs and modeling policy. |
 |
| Eliminating Left Turns -- Analysis of elimination of left turn phases at selected intersection for improved intersection performance for vehicles and pedestrians, vis-a-vis innovative left turn designs, enabled by increased deployment of in-vehicle navigation and real-time traffic information. |
 |
 |
Statewide Freight Model -- Development of the California Statewide Freight Forecasting Model (CSFFM), with links to the California Statewide Travel Demand Model (CSTDM). |
|
|
| Web-based Training: Transit -- Development of web-based training courseware for public transit systems, planning, and modeling to provide fundamental knowledge of the state-of-the-practice for engineers, planners, and other professionals engaged in transportation planning, operations, and management. |
|
|
 |
Web-based Training -- Development of web-based courseware for traffic corridor management, with a focus on subject breadth to provide fundamental knowledge of the state-of-the-practice in transportation engineering and planning for traffic corridors [ Summary ]. |
| • CONTINUING RESEARCH PROJECTS: | [ back to top ] |
 |
Activity-based Modeling
has been a research focus for 30 years -- for recent projects involving travel
pattern simulation, agent-based modeling, dynamic data collection and analysis ...
 |
 |
 | ZEVNET -- A Shared-use Station Car Program
to address air quality, congestion, and commuting issues in southern
California, ZEVNET simultaneously provides a "living laboratory" for R&D
in Information Technology for advanced network management... [ Link to the Official ZEVNET Web Site ] |
 |
REACT!,
-- A web-based travel/activity survey, REACT! is designed as a Computer Aided
Self-administered Interview. REACT! elicits both travel/activity plans as well as
revealed travel patterns as a step toward revealing the household scheduling process... [ Link to a REACT! Survey Respondent Web Site ] |
 |
 |
TRACER -- A GPS-based, in-vehicle data collection system for monitoring and tracking, the TRACER system includes portable, Extensible Data Collection Units (EDCUs), a suite of OpenMap GIS analysis software, and an interactive web survey... |
 |
TRICEPS / CARTESIUS -- A second generation Testbed ATMS architecture, TRICEPS incorporates real-time data feeds and comprehensive simulation capabilities with CARTESIUS, a multi-agent, real-time expert system for congestion management. |
|
|
 |
Local Travel Demand Models --
This study addresses local travel forecasting models through a
comprehensive examination of the state of the practice, focused on
data, methodologies, software, and operational practice. Local and
region-wide modeling practice is considered, as are sensitivity
analyses of how modeling elements affect model quality and applicability,
and the potential introduction of state of the art modeling techniques.
|
|
|
CARTESIUS and CTNet -- CARTESIUS, a multi-agent,
real-time expert system for congestion management, is linked with CTNet, software
for monitoring and controlling traffic signals [ Cartesius Summary (pdf) | Cartesius/CTNET Integration (pdf) ]. |
 |
 | PTC -- Distributed On-line Database System for
Transportation Management Using Cooperating Roadside and In-vehicle Communication
Devices -- The collection, storage, and usage of control-system authenticated
vehicle-specific path data to determine dynamic trip tables. The research hypothesis
is that these historical travel patterns can be used to predict the movement of
system vehicles and thus can be used for traffic management...
|
 |
AUTONET
-- Ad hoc Peer-to-Peer Information Technology for distributed traffic
management, communications, and computing ...
|
 |
