The objective of this project has been to provide the necessary resources for a program at Penn State in which faculty and students will create new ideas in the area of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This is an educational activity targeting graduate students at the Pennsylvania State University that as time progresses will be moved in practice. The project is renewed yearly and changes in the composition of the Transportation Operations Program at the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute at Penn State University will be reflected accordingly. In addition, within this project a review of new needs in ITS research and development are performed at regular intervals and new directions incorporated on as needed basis. For the academic year 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 five fundamental areas of inquiry were defined and work in all areas was accomplished as planned. These specialty areas are: Network modeling and stochastic demand, traffic operations and machine vision, advanced public transportation systems, human factors issues, and commercial vehicle operations. |
