Evaluation of Bus and Truck Automation Operations Concepts

Abstract: 

Traffic congestion will continue to worsen and likely worsen at a faster rate than ever. People throughput and freight throughput have become critical issues for California and the rest of the nation. PATH has funded with approximately $125K a research project entitled "Evaluation of Bus and Truck Automation Scenarios" jointly proposed by Jan Botha (Principal Investigator) of Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Jacob Tsao (Co-PI) of Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at San Jose State University. This report summarizes the major findings of the research conducted by Professor Tsao and his assistants with approximately $44K out of the overall funding of $125K for the project; the infrastructure and other aspects of the research are reported by Jan Botha separately.
