Monograph

This collection of 11 papers is concerned with information systems, geographic information systems, and advanced computing for transportation applications. Specific topics discussed include the following: computer-based regional incident management training; an innovative approach to the development of large-scale information systems; multiday household travel surveys; information technology as a critical element of the transportation infrastructure; an automatic vehicle location system to locate London bus stops; enhancing in-car navigation systems; use of a Global Positioning System to identify crash locations; a decision support tool based on a geographic information system for the selection and evaluation of adaptive traffic control strategies; modeling multiscale urban environments to forecast travel supply and demand; Bayesian combination of travel time prediction models; and transforming transportation data models from Unified Modeling Language to Web Ontology Language.
