      <title>REDISCOVERING THE STREET</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/132914</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THE STREET IS THE CITY, AND URBAN DESIGN MUST BE CONCERNED WITH THE FASHIONING OF A SYSTEM OF PUBLIC SPACES. CREATIVE EXAMPLES OF STREET THINKING ARE DESCRIBED IN 5 CATEGORIES: STREET FRONTAGES, BUILDINGS AS EXTENSIONS OF THE STREET, STREETS FOR PEDESTRIANS, SPECIAL-PURPOSE STREETS, AND STREETS AS SYSTEMS. PRIORITY OF THE RIGHT OF WAY IS BEING RETHOUGHT, LEADING TO A REVIVAL OF PEDESTRIANIZATION. THE ENTIRE CITY INFRASTRUCTURE IS BEING REEXAMINED, ALONG WITH THE FUNCTION OF ZONING AS A DESIGN TOOL.]]></description>

      <title>CHANGES IN THE ECONOMIC BASE OF URBAN AREAS: IMPLICATIONS FOR URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/208908</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper focuses on how future city development is likely to differ from past patterns, on the increasing importance of design in rebuilding older cities so that these cities become "livable" cities competitive with other "world class" cities, and on the potential role of transit as a design and development tool.]]></description>

      <title>TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING USING INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/86850</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper discusses an elementary traffic simulation model developed by the University of Utah.  It consists of two intersections operating with fixed time traffic signal controllers.  Vehicles are introduced into the system using a uniform arrival distribution.  A simple car following model is used to move the vehicles through the network.  The model can also be used as a visual scheduling and planning transit tool (VISPLAN).  It will allow the transit planner to examine specific high volume transportation corridors; and when deemed desirable, the time schedule of individual buses can be changed to reduce wait time for transfers at critical route intersections.  Future phases of model development will include calculation of the total wait time for transfers for all passengers in the system, which will allow planners to evaluate proposed schedule changes interactively as the changes are input to the system.  The use of computer graphics has not been limited transportation systems.  Urban designers have used visual simulation to build a three-dimensional scale model of Salt Lake City's Central Businees District to visualize the spatial relationship of new buildings which are proposed, or already underway, to those which already exist.  Further development of the existing programs and development of some new applications of computer graphics are included in the program's future plans.]]></description>

      <title>TECHNOLOGY TOOL FOR URBAN APPLICATIONS-THE REMOTELY PILOTED BLIMP</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/90044</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THE REMOTELY PILOTED BLIMP (RPB) CONCEPT IS PROPOSED TO ANSWER THE URBAN CENTER'S NEED FOR FLEXIBLE, SAFE, ECONOMICAL AIRBORNE SURVEILLANCE, MEASUREMENT, AND MONITORING SYSTEMS. THREE (TRAFFIC, ENFORCEMENT, AND ENVIRONMENTAL) APPLICATIONS FOR THE RPB ARE PRESENTED. THE TOTAL RPB SYSTEM CONCEPT AND THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS, I.E., STRUCTURE, PROPULSION, AVIONICS, ETC. ARE DESCRIPTIVELY DISCUSSED. OPERATIONAL ASPECTS SUCH AS LAUNCH, COMMAND AND CONTROL, AND DOCKING IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT ARE CONSIDERED, AND A ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE COST COMPARISON WITH HELICOPTERS FOR A TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE APPLICATION IS SET FORTH. THE RPB CONCEPT SEEMS TO HAVE MANY ADVANTAGES OVER ALTERNATE TECHNIQUES.]]></description>

      <title>URBAN ENGINEERING IN THE UNIVERSITY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/92919</link>
      <description><![CDATA[PROBLEMS CONFRONTING MODERN AMERICAN CITIES DEMAND INTEGRATED, INTERDISCIPLINARY SOLUTION PROCEDURES, GOING BEYOND TRADITIONAL APPROACHES TO URBAN ISSUES. CURRENT URBAN PROBLEMS ARE BOTH TOO VAST AND INORDINATELY COMPLEX TO BE EFFECTIVELY DEALT WITH BY INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN LIMITED AND NARROWLY-DEFINED DISCIPLINES. THE ASEE URBAN ENGINEERING STUDY COMMITTEE HAS COINED THE TERM URBAN ENGINEERING TO DENOTE THE NEW MULTIDISCIPLINARY ORIENTATION DEMANDED OF URBAN PROFESSIONALS. UNIVERSITIES ARE PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT ON FOSTERING A MORE REALISTIC APPROACH TO THE CITY. INNOVATIVE CURRICULA AND INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPERIMENTS IN THE REAL-WORLD LABORATORY, WHICH ARE PRESENTLY UNDERWAY AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY, ARE ESSENTIAL MEDIA FOR PREPARING STUDENTS TO UTILIZE THEIR EXPERTISE IN CONCERT WITH PROFESSIONALS FROM OTHER DISCIPLINES IN DEALING WITH MASSIVE URBAN ISSUES. /ASCE/]]></description>
