      <title>Airborne Ash Hazard Mitigation in the North Pacific: A Multi-Agency, International Collaboration</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/756021</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The main earth science agencies responsible for detecting and delivering warnings of volcanic unrest in Russia and Alaska are the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) and Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO). They are two of the state/regional governmental agencies, international organizations, scientific institutes and private industry that work cooperatively to ensure that effective volcanic hazard warnings are issued.  They work together to monitor the more than 100 active volcanoes that border the Pacific Ocean from southern Alaska, along the Aleutians, Kamchatka and through the Kuriles, which pose a significant risk to aviation.  KVERT and AVO use real-time seismic networks, visual observations, and satellite remote sensing of ash and thermal anomalies to detect and characterize volcanic activity.  Warnings are issued as promptly as possible by fax, phone and the Internet to an established list of recipients.  Information is also quickly posted on the Internet.  AVO works closely with the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Weather Service, and others to make sure that formal operational guidance to the aviation community contains all critical volcanic hazard information.  KVERT has a similar relationship with the regional meteorological and aviation authorities in Kamchatka. Both groups also issue weekly status reports on all seismically monitored volcanoes and conduct scientific studies to support hazard assessments.]]></description>

      <title>A STUDY OF THE USE OF METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE, WEATHER RADAR, AND INTEGRATED GRAPHICS PRODUCTS IN THE FLIGHT SERVICE STATION SYSTEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/150798</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A study was conducted on the use of meteorological satellite imagery, weather radar imagery, and computer-generated meteorological graphics in the automated flight service station (FSS). The present meteorological satellite network and image distribution system is explained. The use of image processing of meteorological satellite imagery was investigated. The National Weather Service, Federal Aviation Administration, and United States Air Force's plans for improved weather were investigated. The use of computer-generated and animated graphics for display of meteorological information was investigated. The study concluded that: (1) satellite imagery could be made available in the near term by utilizing components of the present closed circuit television system; (2) the National Weather Service (NWS) network of WSR-57 weather radars provides the best available information for small area detection and depiction of precipitation; and (3) integration of satellite imagery and weather radar imagery will help the specialist in recognizing and interpreting the information available to him. The study recommended: (1) implementation of present video disc and cathode-ray tube technology for electronically storing, displaying, and sequencing satellite images and NWS facsimile weather charts at FSS's; and (2) various studies as to application of available image processing techniques to meteorological satellite images, application of monochromatic and color displays for satellite imagery, and techniques to automatically derive graphic products from the Federal Aviation Administration Service A circuit.

      <title>DRIVER DISTRACTIONS: THE FIRE BEHIND THE SMOKE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/669085</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The new technologies that drivers drool over could be a colossal problem for law enforcement and traffic safety policymakers, and a major challenge for educators.  However, the evidence is not all in on either the extent of the problem or its exact nature. Driver inattention is a recognized and significant factor in highway crashes and is often mentioned by police, although drivers tend to be cited for behaviors such as running off the road, failure to yield, and excessive speed for conditions. Pinning down the cause of driver inattention is not going to be easy.  Technologies such as fax machines and navigational aids are not yet widely used, and there is no data on them.  If their use is not against the law, police officers will not have a reason to question drivers about their use, and in the absence of witness statements or other physical evidence, their relationship to a crash will be virtually impossible to pin down.  While manufacturers ponder design and marketing solutions, educators need to take a serious look at what objectives training and education can realistically achieve and whether the tools exist to achieve them.  This publication argues that making drivers more aware of the dangers of distraction will help, but we can also raise driving standards in such a way that drivers are more engaged with their roadway and traffic environment and therefore more sensitive to the extent to which distractions degrade this relationship.]]></description>

      <title>BEYOND TELE-SUBSTITUTION: DISAGGREGATE LONGITUDINAL STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS MODELING OF COMMUNICATION IMPACTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/506403</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Information on the number and types of communication activities (including travel) engaged in over a period of four consecutive days, at two points in time about six months apart, was collected from 91 respondents in the context of the introduction of a community network to the city of Davis, California. Three major types of communication were measured: personal meetings (and in a separate but related measure, trips), transfer of an information object (in-house documents, regular mail, and express or overnight mail), and electronic (phone, fax, and e-mail). A system of structural equations was developed and estimated, expressing the number of instances of each type of communication at time 2 as a function of: the number of instances of each type at time 1, the elapsed time between measurements, and exogenous sociodemographic variables. All "own" lagged effects (that is, the effect of one communication type in wave 1 on the same type of communication in wave 2) were found to be positive and (except for information object delivery) highly significant.]]></description>

      <title>SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO RURAL TRANSPORTATION NEEDS: SUCCESS STORIES OF RURAL ITS IMPLEMENTATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/504662</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A recently completed study--the Simple Solutions project--documented low-cost and effective technological solutions to rural transportation problems.  The project comprised two key phases.  During Phase A, simple solutions were identified and categorized in accordance with the critical program areas, or clusters, developed within the U.S. Department of Transportation's Advanced Rural Transportation Systems Program:  traveler safety and security, emergency services, tourism and travel information services, public traveler services/public mobility services, infrastructure operations and maintenance, fleet operations and maintenance, and commercial vehicle operations.  During Phase B, a subset of the list of possible solutions was selected for further investigation.  Many innovative transportation solutions were identified in the course of the project.  Of 56 applications documented during Phase A, 14 were selected for further investigation and as the basis for future technology transfer activities.  An overview of three of these technology applications is provided:  the Colorado system that provides weather information by fax; an Oregon system that enables beacons at crossings to be activated remotely, using regular pager services and low-cost receivers on the road signs; and a location system used in Blue Earth Country, Minnesota, that involves assigning every residence to a coordinate mapping system, enabling easy navigation to specific sites.]]></description>

      <title>PLANS FOR ADVANCING THE TRAFFIC INFORMATION PROVISION SYSTEM ON METROPOLITAN EXPRESSWAY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/574442</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On the Metropolitan Expressway with an average traffic volume of more than 1.16 million vehicles a day, the provision of traffic information to the expressway users is extremely important. Information provision mediums presently in use on the expressway can be broadly divided into two types: Broadcast type for many and unspecified users providing message signs, graphic information boards, and MEX-i radios; and Interactive type for providing personal information by request from each user, such as MEX-i robots and MEX-i telephones.  To enhance the mobility of vehicles for safer and more comfortable traveling, the Metropolitan Expressway Public Corporation (MEPC) has been promoting a project for advancing its traffic control (TC) system by upgrading central equipment.  As part of this project, the MEPC has also been putting forward plans to amplify and diversify the information provision of the TC system.  In order to advance technical development in particular, the MEPC will put emphasis on the provision of driving support information to ensure safety, the provision of wide-area information, and the provision of diversified information using personal communications mediums. In the broadcast type information provision, the MEPC intends to develop and put into use new display techniques for conveying emergency information - such incidents - in a manner quickly and accurately understandable to any one, in addition to information regularly provided on congestion and travel time.  In the interactive type of information provision, the MEPC is looking into the construction of a system which can provide traffic information on the road networks of its expressway and other interurban expressways.  This traffic information would include information on selected routes in real time or as forecast at a specified time by making the best use of PC communication, facsimile communication or communication through the Internet.]]></description>

      <title>TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE BY THE TOKYO METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/574445</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has provided drivers with quick and accurate information based on the calculation using a large amount of gathered data for the purpose of dispersing and guiding vehicles, as well as easing drivers' impatience.  The Traffic Information Providing System is complemented by the Advanced Traffic Information Service System, which was introduced in February 1995, and infrared beacons introduced in April 1996 for better traffic information service. In order to meet today's diverging drivers' needs, information most valuable for drivers is selected from edited traffic information.  Such traffic  information, including that on traffic congestion, is given to drivers via not only existing media such as traffic information boards using LEDs, roadside radios, and automatic telephone and facsimile guides, but car navigation systems by means of infrared beacons as well. Especially in traffic information service using infrared beacons, information on traffic congestion is superimposed on a digital road map displayed on the CRT of a car navigation system.  In addition, drivers are provided with detailed traffic information from individual infrared beacoms in the forms of messages and simplified graphics displayed on the screen.]]></description>
