CONSIDERING HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLE ALTERNATIVES IN THE URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS: ENERGY SAVINGS

Preferred treatment of high occupancy vehicles (HOV's), through strategies such as dedicated lanes, can achieve transportation energy conservation. The research presented the impacts of ramp-control programs; description of a combined approach for arterial signal coordination considering bandwidth and delays; improved graphic techniques in signal progress; analysis of parking in urban centers: equilibrium assignment approach; estimating downtown parking demands: a land use approach; effects of ending employer-paid parking for solo drivers; effects of parking measures in the center of Leeuwarden; whether parking in the city center; contraflow bus lanes in Chicago: safety and traffic impacts; and, traffic restraint on New York City's East River bridges.
