The Open Mode Integrated Transportation System (OMITS) forms a sustainable information infrastructure for communication within and between the mobile/Internet network, the roadway network, and the users’ social network. It manipulates the speed gap between different types of the network: information communication through cellular phones and the Internet is tremendously higher than that of vehicles on roadway, which is much faster than that of the social networking.

The University Transportation Research Center – Region 2 supported a study entitled “Connections Beyond Campus: An Evaluation of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority – University at Buffalo Transit Pass Program”. Unlimited Access transit passes have become common sustainability programming at many colleges and universities in cities both large and small across the United States.

This research project explores sustainable transportation programming and policy on university campuses by evaluating a transit pass program in which select students, faculty, and staff at the University at Buffalo were issued pre-paid unlimited transit passes for Metro Rail, the light rail system operated by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.

This research project seeks to increase knowledge about coordinating effective multi-modal evacuation for disasters. It does so by identifying, evaluating, and assessing current transportation management approaches for multi-modal evacuation planning. The research increases equity by identifying strategies for evacuation of all residents, including carless residents during a disaster.

<p>The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a framework to identify the most likely source of rutting within the pavement system and the presence of mixture instability in the surface layer within the first few years of the pavement life. Currently, the only accurate method of identifying the source of rutting is to cut trenches and observe deformation in the various layers of the pavement structure, a process that is inconvenient, destructive, and expensive.

The objective of this project is to perform evaluation tests related to the transmission of
digitized video signals over ISDN lines between a video traffic reporting camera and a
traffic management center. The quality of the received video signals can be used to
effectively monitor existing and developing traffic conditions.
An evaluation plan was developed with the concurrence of NJDOT (sponsor of the
project) consisting of: a) market survey of current video-transmission options, b) the

The objective of this research was to perform evaluation tests related to the transmission of digitized video signals over ISDN 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. An evaluation plan was developed which consisted of a market survey of current video-transmission options, an identification of the hardware specifications for the ISDN connections, and a description of the tests to be performed.

<p>This report presents the results of a research project aimed at providing insights into the human factors associated with nighttime work zones on the New Jersey Department of Transportation construction and maintenance projects. It examines the impacts that nighttime construction activity has upon the workers and seeks to define work standards to mitigate these factors. These impacts are assessed through field surveys, focus group and interviews that included: highway engineers, construction workers (laborers), field supervisors, and contractors.</p>

<p>This paper presents the results of a research project aimed at providing insights into the human factors associated with nighttime work zones on the New Jersey Department of Transportation construction and maintenance projects. It examines the impacts that nighttime construction activity has upon the workers, from their perspective. These impacts were assessed through field surveys and interviews that included: highway engineers, construction workers, field supervisors, and contractors. The research methodology is briefly discussed.

The project examined the impacts that nighttime
construction activity has upon the workers and sought
to define work standards to mitigate these factors.
Thirty construction workers on four highway
construction projects, along with a focus group of union
laborers, were interviewed for their opinions and
comments to questions on human factors related to
work on nighttime work zones in the fall of 2000. Field
data from interviews were analyzed for human factors
such as sleep deprivation, eating habits, commuting
