      <title>LABOR COSTS AND PRODUCTIVITY FOR THE LINDENWOLD RAPID RAIL LINE AND THE SHIRLEY HIGHWAY RAPID BUS DEMONSTRATION PROJECT: SOME PRELIMINARY FINDINGS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/24809</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An argument favoring a rail system rather than bus transit is that the rail mode will be less labor intensive.  Since labor costs constitute the largest component of transit operating costs, the more capital intensive mode should be more productive and slow the increase of unit labor costs. This idea seems to be borne out by some of the results from the bus service in the Washington, D.C., suburbs and the rapid transit service in the Philadelphia, Pa., suburbs. Authors observe that much remains to be learned about the relative efficiency with which the modes provide passenger transportation service.  They point to the need for a refined data base, better definition of transit output, and more exact identification of the capital input.]]></description>

      <title>TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROCESS REPORT: A SHORT RANGE PLAN FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS REGION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/178092</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report represents a joint effort by the agencies and governments involved in transportation in the Indianapolis Region to develop a more systematic approach to the solution of short-range transportation problems; to integrate short-range planning for all types of transportation; and to make more effective use of existing facilities. It also reflects a change in the policy of federal transportation agencies to place greater emphasis on less expensive (noncapital-intensive) transportation improvements. The "Transportation System Management Element" (TSM) is designed to provide a coordinated, technical basis for the noncapital-intensive projects included in the Indianapolis Regional Transportation Improvement Program, in the same way that the long-range transportation planning process supports the implementation of capital-intensive projects. It explains what the local governments of the Indianapolis Region intend to do in the near future to provide for automobile, truck, taxi, transit, pedestrian and bicycle transportation.]]></description>

      <title>RESEARCH NEEDS FOR AIRPORT TERMINAL PLANNING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/52636</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper is a report on the desirable research directions for airport terminal systems.  A consensus was reached that the problems of airport terminal planning, design, and operation have to be extensively rethought.  The research needs for this area are now principally in the "soft" side of engineering.  Specific areas of particular importance concern: the nature of the airport systems and the networks that connect them; the size and distribution of the demands placed on the system; the spatial configuration of airport terminals; means to reduce labor entensity of ground side operations; the development of standards for equipment and operating procedures; the use of pricing policies to influence loads on the system; and the issues of how alternative plans should be evaluated.  It is emphasized that an effective research strategy will have to corridor the institutional problems of implementation as thoroughly as the technical issues.]]></description>

      <title>AUTOMATION APPLICATIONS IN AN ADVANCED AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. VOLUME I: SUMMARY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/21150</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Advanced Air Traffic Management System (AATMS) program is a long-range investigation of new concepts and techniques for controlling air traffic and providing services to the growing number of commercial, military, and general aviation users of the national airspace. This study of the applications of automation was undertaken as part of the AATMS program. The purposes were to specify and describe the desirable extent of automation of AATMS, to estimate the requirements for man and machine resources associated with such a degree of automation, and to examine the prospective employment of humans and automata as air traffic management is converted from a labor-intensive to a machine-intensive activity. Volume I is a summary document, stating the background and objectives of the study and describing the major study results. It also contains a discussion of the implications of the results for an advanced air traffic management system and a suggested strategy for implementation of automation.]]></description>
