Small Area Water Demand Forecasting at the Salt River Project
The Salt River Project Small Area Water Demand Forecast (forecast) is designed to provide water resource planners with long-range water demand forecasts disaggregated by user type and...
A Comparison of Short Term Forecast Methods for Municipal Water Use
Water utilities routinely develop long range demand forecasts for use in the normal planning activities. In recent years, many utilities have sought to develop more short-term demand forecasts...
Water Use Pattern of Residential and Commercial Customers
The availability of the Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) devices make it possible to read a large number of meters in a short period of time. Through the use of AMR, we monitored weekly water...
EBMUD's Approach to Demand Reduction
The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) supplies water to more than 1.2 million people in the East Bay area of California. The District has developed a comprehensive plan to deal...
Global Distribution of Water Through the Oceans
The paper is a conceptual investigation of a pipeline and bladder system for conveying and storing fresh water in the oceans. Modeling is recommended to provide background on what could...
Agricultural Water Conservation Programs to Improve Water Use Efficiency
California's growing population poses an ever increasing demand for water from the existing limited and scarce water resources of the State. In addition the continuation of six years of...
Interactive Simulation for Modeling Dynamic Driver Behavior in Response to ATIS
It has been contended that in-laboratory experimentation with interactive microcomputer simulation can substitute for the lack of real-world applications and provide a useful approach...
Analysis of Sequential Route Choice Under ATIS
An experiment to collect sequential route choice data under the influence of an Advanced Traveller Information System (ATIS) was performed using a PC-based interactive simulation. The...
Congestion Management?Opportunities for States and MPOs to Ensure the Efficiency of Their Highway Systems
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) are effecting change in multimodal transportation decision making....
High Speed Rail: An Alternative Route to Preserve Quality of Life in the Northwest
The impacts of population growth threaten quality of life in the Pacific Northwest. Existing transportation systems cannot meet projected demand nor special needs of an aging society....
Potential Statewide Impacts of Florida's Proposed High Speed Rail System
This paper presents a summary of the findings from an analysis of the potential statewide impacts resulting from the construction and operation of a high speed intercity rail system in...
HSGT?Competitive or Complimentary to Air Travel
The capacity of existing airports to meet increased travel demand is limited. Utilization of high speed ground transportation as a complimentary mode originating from major hub airports...
Intercity Travel Demand Modeling and Forecasting for High Speed Rail Service in the Quebec-Ontario Corridor
This paper describes the application of intercity travel demand models and preparation of ridership and revenue forecasts for the Ontario/Quebec Rapid Train Task Force in 1990. The development...
Intercity Travel Demand Forecasting for the Windsor-Quebec City Corridor
Travel demand forecasts were required for the 600-mile-long Quebec City - Windsor Canada Corridor to test alternative rail systems including high speed rail. The approach involved application...
Estimation and Testing of Alternative Approaches to Model Intercity Rail Ridership
Assessment of proposals to improve intercity rail transportation service requires careful evaluation of their economic, developmental and environmental impacts. This paper addresses the...
Selection and Analysis of Florida's High-Speed/Intercity Rail Routes
Events during 1990 and 1991 in Florida's High-Speed Rail Franchise process have driven the project toward the status of a public works project. With greater public participation than originally...
Maglev Utilization of Interstate Highway and Railroad Rights-of-Way
Government officials and transportation industry experts have proposed that existing highway and railroad rights-of-way could be utilized effectively to host maglev guideway route alignments....
Planning for the National High Speed Rail Network in Korea
High speed rail lines are being constructed or planned among other transportation modes in Korea. They are expected to contribute to alleviate already serious intercity traffic congestion...
The Technology of X2000?ABB's High Speed Tilting Train
The X2000 High Speed Tilting Train was developed by Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) in cooperation with the Swedish State Railways (SJ). The purpose of the project was to reduce trip times on...
