Using Microcomputers for Project Management
Microcomputers for both project scheduling and cost control were used during design and construction on a major project in Honolulu. Hotel Street Mall, located in the heart of Honolulu's...

The Financial Analysis of a Transportation Project on a Microcomputer
The economics of a future rail transit project are analyzed. Pro forma financial statements are constructed to the year 2002. A number of financial ratios are examined to assess the project's...

A User-Friendly Capital Programming Tool for Highway Maintenance Districts
The Roads and Waterways Administration of Finland is developing a microcomputer system, called the Project Analysis System (PAS), to help district engineers in their annual preparation...

Estimating Toll Diversion for Beltways
The proposed E-470 beltway is a 48-mile circumferential highway which will connect major public and private developments east of the Denver metropolitan area as well as the new Denver...

Microcomputer Financial Planning for Transportation
This paper describes the development, testing, and application of a microcomputer financial analysis model called the Transit and Highway Revenues and Improvement Forecasting Templates...

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...

Transit Route Planning Using Data Downloaded from UTPS
A comprehensive evaluation of alternative bus routing and service patterns was recently performed for the Alameda-Contra Costa (AC) Transit District, the principal public transit operator...

A Matching Algorithm That Eliminates the Need for Radio Signposts in Automatic Passenger Counters on Buses
Volumes of raw data collected using the Automatic Data Aquisition system are useless until they can be processed and transformed into meaningful reports and plots. This is done using a...

GRREATdB - GRaphic Roadway Editor and Analysis Tool
This paper describes the development and use of a tool to link textual databases to road network-based interactive graphics. Advantages of the system are discussed. The GRREATdB program...

Computerized Transportation/Financial Planning Processes
The Computerized Transportation/Financial Planning Process (CTFP) comprises a battery of programs that collectively form a valuable growth management tool. CTFP incorporates four spreadsheet...

Incorporating Risk Analysis Into Spreadsheet Forecasts
The risk analysis technique presented overcomes the difficulties of sensitivity analysis by entering key input variables as probability distributions, rather than as discreet values. Using...

Computer Analysis of Origin-Destination Survey Data in the State Route 55 Travel Corridor, Before and After the Opening of Carpool Lanes
The State Route (SR) 55 carpool lanes in Orange County were opened for high occupancy vehicles (HOV) usage in November, 1985. Since SR 55 was the first travel corridor in Orange County...

Traffic Congestion Data Collection and Analysis System
The system was developed to allow traffic engineers to analyze the magnitude, duration and location of traffic congestion on highways and city streets. It is used to prioritize traffic...

Transport Planning on Auckland's North Shore
During 1987 and 1988, a major transportation study of the Auckland North Shore was undertaken by Takapuna City Council. Several major issues were addressed, including the size and shape...

Using GIS Techniques for Transportation Planning to Automate Compilation of Land Use Information
This paper describes a procedure used to compile land use or socioeconomic data for traffic analysis zones for input into a transportation planning model. The procedure uses a combination...

Modeling and Data Uses in Hydraulic Transport Investigations, New Bedford Estuary, Mass.
Field measurements, laboratory tests, and models were used together to make transport predictions for the sediments and dissolved materials which would be released by proposed dredging...

Long-Term Fate of PCB Contamination in the New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts, System
The transport and fate of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site is modeled using a three-dimensional hydrodynamics and sediment-contaminant transport...

Circulation and Transport Modeling in New Bedford Harbor
Three-dimensional hydrodynamics and mass transport were simulated in the New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts, area in support of a combined sewers/sewage outfall facilities planning project...

An Eulerian-Lagrangian Model for Sediment Transport in Estuaries
We describe a new depth-averaged numerical model for the simulation of the fate of sediments in estuaries. The model, denoted ELAsed, includes the following distinctive characteristics:...
