Research Reports
View AllAutomated vehicles promote road safety, fuel efficiency, and reduced travel time by decreasing traffic congestion and driver workload. In a vehicle platoon (grouping vehicles to increase road capacity by managing distance between vehicles using electrical and mechanical coupling) of such automated vehicles... In intelligent transportation systems, most of the research work has focused on lane change assistant systems. No existing work considers minimizing the disruption of traffic flow by maximizing the number of lane changes while eliminating the collisions. In this thesis, we develop qualitative and quantitative... The growing uncertainty about oil prices and availability has made long-range transportation planning more challenging. Rather than relying on trend extrapolation, this study uses market mechanisms to evaluate key long-range transportation planning assumptions. Although the Washington Department of Transportation... The objective of this report is to provide a benchmark for elevator managers in assessing performance, and supply a source for recognizing trends in the characteristics of North Dakota elevators. This report and the statistics mailed to individual elevators are presented as a source of information for... Older drivers are overrepresented in motor vehicle crash fatalities. As the U.S. population continues to age, this problem will grow. Health care providers (HCPs) are in a position to provide their older patients with education which may prevent further motor vehicle fatalities. Rural older adults are... This document discusses the development of an Activity Based Model ABM for the Fargo Moorhead Travel Demand Model. The activity-based approach to travel demand analysis views travel as a derived demand; derived from the need to pursue activities distributed in space, i.e. transportation is consumed due... Many Native American tribal governments are lacking in emergency preparedness, a part of the emergency management cycle where planning for disasters happens. These governments need assistance planning for future disasters. Federal, and state governments, along with other agencies and organizations, have... This document summarizes the results of the regional intelligent transportation architecture development for the Fargo-Moorhead (F-M) area. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the transportation... This document summarizes the results of the regional Intelligent Transportation architecture development for the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Area. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the... This report represents a continuation of analysis concerned with the patterns and methods of distributing grains and oilseeds from North Dakota. This series began with the analysis of 1956-57 data and was published in Agricultural Economics Reports 15, 17, 44, 56, and 86 and Agricultural Experiment Station... |
