1 Traditional “chalk and talk” teaching in civil engineering has gradually been re2 placed with the idea of active learning focusing on encouraging students’ knowl3 edge discovery with innovative pedagogical methods and tools. One interesting tool 4 is the board game. This research examines the efficacy of adopting transportation 5 board games as a tool in graduate-level transportation planning...

It is difficult to determine whether specific weather events like the storms in Washington can be definitively attributed to climate change or if they are severe storm occurrences within otherwise natural weather patterns. However, consensus in the scientific community indicates that major storms and other events including inundation of coastal roads from a rising sea level, erosion of roadways...

the PRofession. As A kickoff for this ITE Journal issue featuring a transportation planning theme, itE’s transportation Planning council (tPc) Executive committee felt it would be valuable to identify a selected number of topics that are currently of special interest to many members due to their particular relevancy to national, state and local interest. other articles in this edition of ITE Jo...

The low carbon development is the important trend of Chinese urbanism, and the gap between transportation infrastructure resource and travel demand induces to the transportation problems, such as congestion, energy, and safety. There is a missing connection with the Demand-Oriented Planning and Low-Carbon-Oriented Planning, since most of our discussion in the Urban Comprehensive Planning Procee...

The CAAA of 199(I will have a major impact on the transportation planning and project development processes and on the operation of the federal-air highway program. CAAA will substantially revise the federalair highway program in ozone and carbon monoxide nonattainment areas due to its provisions for sanctions, conformity, transportation/air quality planning, vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The c...

This paper presents a functional description of PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems). Based on our experience with a simple prototype, we describe the functions that are included in PLANiTS. Specifically, transportation improvement projects are represented as planning vectors. The vector allows users to examine the impacts of transportation actions ...

In this paper, we describe a decision support system for cooperative transportation planning in the German food industry where several manufacturing companies share their fleets to reduce transportation costs. Besides using vehicles of their fleets, there are different outsourcing options offered by logistics service providers, but these are muchmore expensive. The decision-making kernel of the...

We survey recent advances in algorithms for route planning in transportation networks. For road networks, we show that one can compute driving directions in milliseconds or less even at continental scale. A variety of techniques provide different trade-offs between preprocessing effort, space requirements, and query time. Some algorithms can answer queries in a fraction of a microsecond, while ...

work of Abraham and Hunt (1, 2). PECAS combines concepts from traditional Walrasian (general equilibrium) economics with random utility theory. Random utility theory permits the representation of heterogeneous goods and actors with heterogeneous tastes in which the prices of goods vary by zone. The implementation of discrete choice theory by the use of logit equations also permits partial utili...
