Activity-based travel demand models, which have their theoretical foundation explicitly rooted in the accepted notion that travel is derived from daily activities, offer an attractive, but complex, alternative to the conventional four-step forecasting models. Recent implementations of such approaches via microsimulations have shown promise for practical application of this theoretical construct. I propose a one-year study that develops a framework of an activity-travel microsimulator based on the Household Activity Pattern Problem (HAPP).

In recent years, there is growing interest in promoting the smart growth concept that aims at revitalizing land use and transportation patterns to avoid “sprawl” and to reduce negative externalities of transportation systems. The fundamental idea behind such a concept is to revitalize land use and transportation patterns to avoid “sprawl” and to replace it by safe, livable, sustainable, environmentally-sound, and green-mode-oriented communities.

Research Problem and Background

The overall objectives of the Integrated Incident Management System (IIMS) are to collect and communicate incident data (Location, type/ severity, digital images, and expedited reporting among agencies providing emergency response and incident/traffic/transit/emergency management services for the purpose of improving the incident response and clearance process, thus reducing congestion/emissions and enhancing highway safety to both the responder and multiple users along the transportation corridors.

The NYCT has begun an enterprise-wide Asset Management Improvement Program (AMIP). In the second half of 2012, the NYCT developed an executive-level concept of operations (ConOps) that defined a new asset management framework following a systems engineering approach. The proposed project for new standards for asset hierarchy, criticality and risk (the “Project”) is needed as a fundamental element within this framework.

2010 gave rise to the 23rd decennial united states census. The census creates a golden opportunity for planners and researchers to refine the empirical basis for their population-based decisions. By delving into the demographics and characteristics of each of its markets, the new jersey department of transportation (njdot) and new jersey transit seek to understand the characteristics, and to improve the lives of, its stakeholders.
