The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Plan is the product of a multi-year effort undertaken by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) to guide ITS deployment in North Dakota. The plan was developed through participation from various NDDOT divisions, districts, and other state stakeholders. The...
Using intelligent transportation systems to help report traveling conditions has been reserved for urban areas. The goal of this research was to help develop a new methodology for incorporating travel times calculated from intelligent transportation system (ITS) technology into Wyoming's road and weather...
In intelligent transportation systems, most of the research work has focused on lane change assistant systems. No existing work considers minimizing the disruption of traffic flow by maximizing the number of lane changes while eliminating the collisions. In this thesis, we develop qualitative and quantitative...
This document summarizes the results of the regional intelligent transportation architecture development for the Fargo-Moorhead (F-M) area. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the transportation...
This document summarizes the results of the regional Intelligent Transportation architecture development for the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Area. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the...
This document summarizes the results of the regional intelligent transportation architecture development for the Bismarck-Mandan (Bis-Man) area. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the transportation...
This report summarizes the work performed during the second phase of a two-phase research project. The first phase focused on two main areas: freight safety and wind vulnerability, and the identification of critical infrastructure. Phase I also tackled another major but less defined task in bringing...
Traveler Information Systems, a part of the larger field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), were originally utilized in urban areas to reduce congestion. Traveler information has become increasingly important in rural areas, especially in areas with adverse weather conditions such as Wyoming....
This document, the final report for the Implementation of Advanced Technologies in Rural Transit Service for the State of North Dakota project, describes the motivation for, development and operation of, and lessons learned from an Internet-based trip planning system. The system was developed as an addition...
Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP) provide states with an excellent opportunity to identify and engage local traffic safety partners in a program under the auspices of the SAFETEA-LU goal to reduce fatalities on the nation's roadways. States have completed the initial plan and have moved into implementation...
