This is the final report for the project entitled \Evaluation and Analysis of Automated Highway System Concepts and Architectures" in response to the contractual requirements of the Memorandum of Understanding MOU# 235, between the Partners of Advanced Transit and Highways (PATH) and the University of Southern California, administered at the University of Califor- nia at Berkeley. The purpose of this project was to select, evaluate and analyze a num- ber of promising Automated Highway System (AHS) operational concepts based on previous work. The evaluation and analysis includes headway dis...

Presents a sketch of a system architecture for the control and management tasks of an intelligent vehicle/highway system (IVHS)

This paper presents some features of PLANiTS (Planning and Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems). In particular, it discusses some functions of the Methods Base. These include representation of model chains, selection of models and data, and data transformations and aggregation. Sequences of models are represented using graph notation. Models and data are selected given the Planning Vector specification, although users may override system selections. The Methods Base features are illustrated with an example drawn from the PLANiTS prototype (version 1 .O).

This report, an interim deliverable for Task Orders 5408 and 6408: “Improving Mobility through Enhanced Transit Services”. Thus far in the study we have performed a review of the literature and conducted a small number of site-specific case studies for transit agencies in North America identified from the literature review as either currently having or in the past having had transit-taxi service implemented in their agency’s jurisdiction. We initially classified alternative concepts of transit-taxis into a typology of three service design options based on a review of the literature: 1)...
