1. MAINTAIN ITS EVALUATION WEBSITE

Task Order 4101

Joy Dahlgren, PATH Headquarters
joy@uclink.berkeley.edu, http://www.path.berkeley.edu/PATH/General/Staff/jdahlgren.html

This project will continue to maintain the ITS Evaluation website and continually update the website with new projects and publications. New ITS user services will be added that are identified in the ITS architecture. The benefit/cost framework will be added to the website and have links to other benefit/cost websites.

 

2. EVALUATION METHODS TO MEASURING THE VALUE OF ITS SERVICES AND BENEFITS FROM IMPLEMENTATION

Task Order 4119

David Gillen, Univeristy of California, Berkeley
dgillen@euler.berkeley.edu

This project will examine the expected benefits and cost of different ITS applications that focus on traffic operations. The purpose of this research is to provide Caltrans with a measure of the expected net benefits with the application of some or all ITS projects to part of the California highway system.

3. FREEWAY PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, PEMS V. 3

 Task Order 4123

 Pravin Variaya, University of California, Berkeley
varaiya@eecs.berkeley.edu, www.path.berkeley.edu/~varaiya
http://pems.eecs.berkeley.edu/Public/index.phtml

 This is an experimental project conducted by the EECS Department at the University of California, at Berkeley, with the cooperation of California Department of Transportation. The intent of this project is to collect historical and real-time freeway data from freeways in the State of California in order to compute freeway performance measures. We also provide a wide variety of tools for transportation researchers to examine historical loop detector data. Finally, we also provide tools to compare the real-time freeway performance with historical trends. In order to use the Freeway Performance Measurement Site, you must apply for an account. Registering is easy and only requires some information and a valid email account. Your account can usually be approved within one or two working days.

 

4. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND THE PATH PROJECT

 MOU 3016

Linda Howe, University of California, Berkeley
lhowe@kinglet.Berkeley.EDU, www.its.berkeley.edu/techtransfer/techtransfer.html

 The overall purposes of the project are to: 1) Facilitate and speed the process of moving PATH research results to field application 2) Enhance "matching" of existing practice "problems" with available solutions developed by PATH researchers 3) Support feedback from users of ATMIS products back to PATH researchers to assist with research problem identification.

 

5. INSTITUTIONAL INITIATIVES: INTERDISCIPLINARY INVESTIGATION IN SUPPORT OF AN ITS-BASED TRAVELER INFORMATION SYSTEM

 MOU 3019

Tom Horan, Claremont Graduate School
tom.horan@cgu.edu, http://www.cgu.edu/

This project will look at past government capital innovation programs similar to ITS systems, by survey of relevant past government innovation programs — both in the transportation realm and beyond —  and show how and why they worked.
