The project's main focus is to analyze users' behavioral changes as a consequence of the implementation of value pricing by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ).
This project evaluated New Jersey Department of Transportation’s three year fixed schedule re-striping program to see if it is consistent with the actual service life of the pavement markings. One of the primary tasks was to develop a threshold value of retroreflectivity below which a pavement marking will no longer be considered “bright enough” to be useful for motorist nighttime guidance.
The NJDOT TMA Grant Program gives qualified TMAs up to $400,000 annually to carry out traffic reduction and clean air initiatives. These dollars have funded the implementation of important national and state mandates. They have given the TMAs a stable financial base, diminishing the need for private funds. These subsidies however, have necessarily moved the TMAs away from a private focus. Consequently, the TMAs have less motivation to champion the needs of their private and local constituents.
The objective of this research is to perform evaluation tests related to the transmission of digitized video signals over ISDN and/or T-1 lines between a video traffic reporting camera and a traffic management center. The quality of the received video signals was assessed for effectively monitoring the traffic conditions.
The goal of this study is to assist the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) to develop, test, revise, and use regional transportation models in support of its planning and public policy activities. The project will address the complete system of analytical tools being supported by NYMTC, including the Best Practice Model (BPM), as well as the full range of data collection efforts and simulation and data reporting tools that support and complement its capabilities. Its primary objectives will be to help NYMTC:
