摘要: |
Despite the considerable effort devoted to transportation planning and design system development over the past 30 years, there has not been widespread application of the resulting new technology. This is now changing. As city freeways become increasingly congested, the need to incorporate design innovations that provide for safe and efficient transportation facilities becomes greater than ever. As the paper reports, advanced technology in information systems, automation, and telecommunications can potentially yield not only cost savings and productivity improvement, but new developments in transportation as well. The study, providing an overview of the state of the art of this technology, explores the research opportunities available for implementing such technology in the creation of a safe and efficient high-speed ground corridor, one that will be capable of meeting the alarming projected traffic demand of the future. |
