      <title>Factors Affecting the Communication of Status Information Between Technical Operations and Air Traffic Personnel</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1307228</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to identify and assess ways to improve communication of system status between two key groups within the Federal Aviation Administration: Technical Operations and Air Traffic. To accomplish this goal, researchers employed qualitative measures to examine a number of elements related to how these two groups communicate system status, including information needs and methods of information transfer. Three major processes emerged that related to the communication of system status: coordination, information transfer, and logging. The information needs and methods used for each process are different. The authors present some common complications that may arise during communication of system status between the two groups as well as some conditions for successful communication. This study highlights the importance of a shared situational awareness for effective communication and identifies several potential strategies for facilitating effective communication between Technical Operations and Air Traffic personnel.]]></description>

      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1216061</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Quality evaluation index (QEI) for judging appropriateness of user oriented service was developed to evaluate a traveler information service (prototype: Garatagi Mobile) based on smart phone in 2010. The authors updated the quality evaluation index's name, evaluation method and added (or corrected) several indexes in January 2011. In addition, the authors added a Center Operating system as a prototype system, named as Garatagi Center for Gimop airport test-bed. To evaluate a prototype system and service, the authors developed four quality evaluation groups (QEGs: function, usability, stability and informationization) and thirteen QEIs.]]></description>

      <title>Electronic Freight Manifest: A Major ITS Initiative</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/887599</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Freight volumes by 2020 are forecasted to increase by 70 percent from 1998 totals. The amount of freight moved through international ports of entry for goods shipped to the United States (or "gateways") – including seaports such as Long Beach, California, land border crossings, such as Detroit, and international airports such as JFK in New York – could more than double. Improving speed, accuracy, and information transfer when freight is transferred from one mode of transportation to another benefits the U.S. economy. Using a common electronic freight management would improve the speed, accuracy, and visibility of information transfer in a freight movement, which could reap large rewards for the U.S. economy.]]></description>

      <title>International Oligopoly and Stock Market Linkages: The Case of Global Airlines</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/855918</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper investigates the effect of oligopolistic rivalry on spillovers in financial reporting. Using an event study methodology and focusing on global airlines, the authors find that firms experience discernable abnormal stock price reactions at the announcement of unexpected earnings by rival airlines. The extent of the price reactions is related to the extent of rivalry between the announcing and non-announcing firms, among other factors. The empirical evidence, which is inconsistent with the contestable markets hypothesis, confirms an association between the stock market performance of players in a global industry and the extent of inter-firm rivalry in the product market.]]></description>

      <title>Transit Stops, Stations, and Transfer Facilities: Evaluating Performance from the Perspective of Transit System Managers</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/848560</link>
      <description><![CDATA[What makes a good transit stop, station, or transfer facility?  The answer depends on who you ask.  Passengers, transit system managers, adjacent businesses and residents, and local governments that host them can all have strong, and sometimes conflicting, ideas about what makes a good stop or station.  This paper examines this question from the transit system managers’ perspective, who must consider both the logistical and political factors inherent to transit operations and the perspectives of customers they seek to attract to their systems.  To do this we administered an online survey methodology to estimate magnitudes of perceived importance for a wide array of possible stop/station objectives. Much of the previous literature on transit stops/stations is descriptive, often listing positive attributes of a good stop/station with little explanatory analysis of (1) how listed factors contribute to transit service connectivity, (2) tradeoffs among factors, or (3) their relative importance.  This paper specifically addresses this third shortcoming, creating a ranked list of objectives by operators’ stated level of importance.  In a nutshell respondents believe that safety, security, and the absence of pedestrian/vehicle conflicts are most important to a good stop/station, followed by ease of transferring and cost-effectiveness.  Many other factors rank much further below these.  These findings suggest that transit operators are well aware of travelers’ perceptions of the importance of “out-of-vehicle” travel experiences in defining the transit experience.]]></description>

      <title>Location-Aware Services Over Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks Using Car-to-Car Communication</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/842434</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Wireless inter-vehicle communication systems, called Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET), have become technologically advanced enough for real-world applications.  This article investigates the need to develop services that can provide car drivers with time-sensitive information about traffic conditions and roadside facilities. The authors introduce the Vehicular Information Transfer Protocol (VITP), a location aware, application-layer, communication protocol designed to support a distributed service infrastructure over Vehicular Adhoc Networks.  They describe the key design concepts of the VITP protocol and infrastructure and then report the results of an extensive simulation study of VITP performance on large-scale vehicular networks under realistic highway and city traffic conditions.  They conclude that using VITP to provide location-aware services over VANETs is both viable and effective.]]></description>

      <title>Measuring Performance Among State DOTs</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/794300</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this report is to describe how state departments of transportation (DOTs) may increase their use of comparative performance measures and to provide a foundation for further collaborative development of comparative performance measures by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and its member states.  The premise of comparative performance measurement among DOTs is that independent agencies in different states often share similar strategic goals with their peers, such as smoother pavement or improved mobility, but that in any grouping of peers, one or two agencies are likely to devise unique yet transferable business processes that enable better performance in these areas.  The benefits of using more comparative performance measures include more communication among DOTs, greater awareness about best practices and innovations, improved business processes, superior performance, and increased responsiveness to customers' needs.]]></description>

      <title>Integration of Information and Automation Technologies in Bridge Engineering and Management: Extending the State of the Art</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/776345</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The current U.S. practice of information transfer during the bridge design, fabrication, construction, and operation processes is fragmented. These processes involve repeated manual transcription of data, which is error prone; approvals (e.g., of shop drawings) that are time-consuming; and formats that beg for standardization to facilitate electronic information transfer. Without such standards, electronic information exchange is impossible. This paper surveys the shortcomings of current piecemeal applications of information and automation technologies. It then explores the promise of parametric three-dimensional bridge information modeling as an enabling technology for accelerating the design and delivery of bridges and articulates aspects of the envisioned accelerated bridge delivery process for two purposes: to provide a glimpse of current technologies available to streamline the process of bridge delivery and to articulate anticipated advances that can be expected to facilitate accelerated bridge delivery. In lieu of a complete industrywide modeling of bridge information in a standardized format, savvy bridge design– build teams can be expected to obtain a competitive advantage by integration of computer-aided design, computer-aided engineering, and computer-integrated manufacturing, which will result in rapid and better-quality project delivery and subsequent cost-effective life-cycle management. As a result, all three fundamental objectives of bridge delivery would be expected to be attained: higher quality, faster delivery, and greater economy.]]></description>

      <title>TITP - TRAFFIC INFORMATION TRANSFER PROTOCOL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/741626</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Traffic Information Transfer Protocol (TITP) is a protocol that can be used to exchange traffic information coded in DATEX-TRAVIN and -TRAILS.  It replaces FTP that is sometimes used, but has proven to be insufficient in an operational environment.  TITP is based on the well-used Dutch TIC protocol and has been improved and extended based on field-experience and feature-requests.  It can now be used to exchange event-driven and cycle-driven information, between TIC and service provider, between two TICs and between a TIC and a TCC.  As a replacement for FTP, TITP offers several benefits of which built-in connection-management, guaranteed timeliness and robustness are the most important.  It fully supports connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting in an online operational environment. Furthermore it is suitable for sending large amounts of Traffic Information (cycle-driven status updates), without harming the quick and accurate transfer of other (event-driven) messages. TITP is based on a very simple, yet easily expandable basic packet structure.  New extensions can be defined and used, without harming existing implementations. TITP resides in layers 5 and 6 of the OSI network layer model and can be used over all kinds of IP-based networks (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.). The TITP protocol is brought into the public domain and can be used by everyone interested.]]></description>

      <title>NATIONAL AIRSPACE DATA INTERCHANGE NETWORK (NADIN) COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT FOR FLIGHT SERVICE AUTOMATION SYSTEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/162752</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The FSAS service was analyzed to determine NADIN enhancements required to support FSAS data communications. The analysis yielded the following conclusions: (1) The NADIN backbone architecture fits FSAS needs and requires no change; however, the NADIN switch to concentrator line speeds need to be increased from 4.8 to 9.6 Kbits/second; (2) The FSAS file transfers may cause relatively long delays to Service B and AFTN messages. By having the switches systematically intersperse frames of messages going to different concentrator input circuits, the delay effects of these file transfers can be minimized; (3) Control of AWP message transmissions is recommended. Flow control will result in a more efficient use of the processing and memory resources of NADIN switches; and (4) The AWP and FSDPS software should be designed to enable the AWPs to interrupt large weather file transmissions to send shorter messages.

      <title>COMPUTER B (NAS-NAS) COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/171295</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An analysis has been performed to determine the feasibility and desirability of incorporating into NADIN the message traffic currently serviced by the Computer B (NAS-NAS) Network. The use of NADIN to support NAS-NAS communications was found to be feasible and cost-effective. The most attractive approach to such support was found to be the enhancement of the NADIN architecture, using packet-switching technology, to provide virtual circuit and alternate routing capabilities between all NADIN backbone modes. The results of this analysis are to serve as inputs to other tasks under this contract that will investigate a consolidated NADIN enhancement approach for supporting future FAA data communications requirements, including enhancements to support the replacement of FAA's enroute computer system, and the Remote Maintenance Monitoring System.

      <title>STUDY TO DEVELOP UNIFIED INVESTIGATIVE CAPABILITY AND POLICY AMONG THE CVS, MEP, PSS, AND RBS PROGRAMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/155563</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Four Coast Guard investigation programs (Commercial Vessel Safety, Marine Environmental Protection, Port Safety and Security, and Recreational Boating Safety) are studied to ascertain current program organizations and operations, and to recommend methods to enhance and unify Coast Guard investigative posture. Extensive interviewing and data collection were done, both in the field and at Coast Guard Headquarters. Data on personnel, training and caseloads were compiled and are analyzed for comparative performance levels. This information, in addition to that acquired relevant to information flow and investigate hierarchies, provides documentation of current investigative procedures and is the basis upon which recommendations for achieving a more unified and efficient investigative system are made. Major recommendations deal with field unit organization, officer assignment and training, use of enlisted personnel, recreational boating accident investigation, review of investigative reports, and data processing activities and equipment. Other recommendations are made on implementation of the Marine Safety Office (MSO) concept, Headquarters' organization, investigating and reporting minor incidents, consolidation of field offices with low investigative activity, and standardization of penalties. A summation of the recommendations and an overview of the resulting unified organization, manpower utilization, and data flow is given. (Author)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Due to different data structures and informational needs, sharing spatial information between transportation planning software (such as EMME/2) and a geographic information system (GIS) is complicated.  To simplify this task, INRO Consultants devised a method to standardize the development of transportation planning coverage and created tools to transfer data between EMME/2 and ArcInfo.  Communication processes between the two pieces of software are described, and a user-friendly computer interface is created. A prototype of the EMME/2 road and transit network is presented as an example.  The software used for the prototype system includes AWK scripts, EMME/2 macros, and ArcInfo AMLs.]]></description>

      <title>ADULT LEARNING STYLES AND EFFECTIVE TRANSFER OF INFORMATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/540870</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Effective training and other technology transfer (T2) activities occur when teachers/trainers or T2 agents recognize and use training techniques that correspond to the learning styles of their learner audiences.  Learning style is defined as one's personally preferred way of processing information and experience.  It crosses all content areas.  It is affected by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as stress, world view, and environment.  Each learner has the ability to utilize a variety of learning styles, and each teacher has a preferred teaching style based on his or her preferred information processing mode.  Each learner learns most comfortably and fastest when his or her preferred learning style meshes with the teaching style of the teacher/trainer.  Often teachers/trainers do not have the time, funds or opportunity to determine their learners' preferred styles.  The effective teacher/trainer utilizes a variety of teaching techniques to engage and convey the most information to the most learners.]]></description>

      <title>DEVELOPMENT OF A STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION NETWORK UTILIZING INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION SYSTEM (ITIS)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/483932</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Norman Y. Mineta International Institute for Surface Transportation Policy Studies (IISTPS) at San Jose State University (SJSU) conducted this project to purchase and develop a state-of-the-art electronic information storage, retrieval, and transfer system, known as the International Transportation Information System (ITIS). The project elements included: (1) conduct and analysis of a survey of transportation professionals, primarily in California, regarding their information needs and familiarity with electronic information media such as the Internet and the World Wide Web; (2) development and initial implementation of a World Wide Web site for IISTPS (Transweb); and (3) development and initial implementation of a library resource database. The WWW site was announced to the surface transportation community in Fall 1995. It is http://transweb.sjsu.edu. Transweb's standard procedures include a weekly review and update by the student assistants. The report's conclusions and recommendations include exploring a more active linkage between Transweb and the library resource database, adding other relevant transportation sites, developing unique resources, and exploring more connectivity with Caltrans and other surface transportation agencies.]]></description>
