U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) is sponsoring the development of a Convoy Mobilization Automated Support System (MASS) to be used during routine planning and exercise movements for...

Choosing Display Hardware for Transportation Planning Packages
This paper reviews the popular transportation planning software packages on the market and their graphics capabilities. Hardware options that allow the user tp achieve high resolution...

The Small Computer Accident Records System (SCARS)
SCARS was developed to support public agencies in Florida in their efforts to analyze traffic accident records and identify high hazard locations. It is an application of the DBASE III+...

California DOT CADD
Starting in 1983 the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) embarked on a project to incorporate current computer technology into the project development process. Today the...

Traffic Simulation and its Graphic Presentations
A computer simulation program for traffic signal timing design was developed. The program can provide some appealing graphic presentations not only of input data but also of output results....

A Graphical Database for Transportation Systems
A graphical database composed of programmable objects analogous to elements of a physical plant of a transportation network is presented. The discussion reviews the application of a graphical...

The Use of Prototyping and Graphical Methods for Road Information and Management Systems
Graphics approaches to Pavement Management Systems offer a substantial aid to the early acceptance of and accessibility to the Road Information Systems presently available. The Apple Macintosh...

A Microcomputer Methodology for Parsimoniously Structuring a Set of Activities
The paper develops a systematic methodology to aid in the identification and rapid structuring of a system of activities. In essence, the user is asked to supply only the names of the...

Transit Scheduling Using Computer Graphics
Graphical scheduling has been very popular throughout the world, but until recently, has not been available for a computerized scheduling system. Computerized graphical scheduling systems...

Scheduling Fixed Route Bus Services Using Simulation
The paper discusses the development and applications of a Monte Carlo simulation Program (BUS - MONITOR) for estimating and evaluating the quality of service of fixed route, many to many...
