Assesses the appropriateness of the original vision and mission of the National Automated Highway System Research Program, the National Automated Highway System Consortium's (NAHSC's) results and the effectiveness of the approach taken by NAHSC in carrying out its charge, and the role of the consortium in future research on intelligent vehicles.
Describes the U.S. Dept. of Transportation's automated highway system program and the functions of the a national consortium, to be selected by FHWA, in carrying out the program.
Experts address some of the main issues and uncertainties associated with the design and deployment of Automated Highway Systems (AHS). They discuss new AHS concepts, technology, and benefits, as well as institutional, environmental, and social issues - concerns that will affect dramatically the operation of the current highway system from both the vehicle and infrastructure points of view.

Author : National Research Council (U.S.). Transportation Research Board. Committee for a Study of Public-Sector Requirements for a Small Aircraft Transportation System Publisher : Transportation Research Board Page : 135 pages File Size : 17,97 MB Release : 2002 Category : Aeronautics, Commercial ISBN : 0309072484
This document summarizes research studies on Automated Highway System (AHS) benefits and impacts. These summaries will be used as background for assessing the benefits and impacts of AHS system configurations, as part of the FHWA Precursor System Analysis program. The document is divided into two chapters, first covering completed reports, and second covering interim findings presented at the PSA workshop, held in Washington, D.C. in April, 1994.
National Research Council (U.S.). Transportation Research Board. Committee for the Study of Freight Capacity for the Next Century
Author : National Research Council (U.S.). Transportation Research Board. Committee for the Study of Freight Capacity for the Next Century Publisher : Transportation Research Board Page : 166 pages File Size : 13,81 MB Release : 2003 Category : Freight and freightage ISBN : 030907746X
Recommends development of a national policy to promote better management and investment decisions in order to maintain and improve the capacity of the nation's freight system. This report recommends four principles to guide decisions about using, enlarging, funding, or regulating the freight transportation system.
This timely new edition of Kenneth A. Small’s seminal textbook Urban Transportation Economics, co-authored with Erik T. Verhoef, has been fully updated, covering new areas such as parking policies, reliability of travel times, and the privatization of transportation services, as well as updated treatments of congestion modelling, environmental costs, and transit subsidies. Rigorous in approach and making use of real-world data and econometric techniques, it contains case studies from a range of countries including congestion charging in Norway, Singapore and the UK, light rail in the Netherlands and freeway tolls in the US. Small and Verhoef cover all basic topics needed for any application of economics to transportation: forecasting the demand for transportation services under alternative policies measuring all the costs including those incurred by users setting prices under practical constraints choosing and evaluating investments in basic facilities designing ways in which the private and public sectors interact to provide services. This book will be of great interest to students with basic calculus and some knowledge of economic theory who are engaged with transportation economics, planning and, or engineering, travel demand analysis, and many related fields. It will also be essential reading for researchers in any aspect of urban transportation.
