Human transit : how clearer thinking about public transit can enrich our communities and our lives / by Walker, Jarrett,1962-author.(CARDINAL)894360; Houser, PJ,illustrator.; Orozco, Eric,illustrator.; Walsh, Erin,illustrator.(CARDINAL)552531; Twu, Alfred,illustrator.; Howard, Daniel,illustrator.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-264) and index (pages 265-274).Introduction -- What transit is and does -- What makes transit useful? : seven demands and how transit serves them -- The wall around your life : access to opportunity -- A bunch of random strangers : planning for diversity -- Lines, loops, and longing -- Touching the city : stops and stations -- Peak or all day? -- Frequency is freedom -- The obstacle course : speed, delay, and reliability -- Ridership or coverage? : the challenge of allocating service -- Can fares be fair? -- Connections of complexity? -- From connections to networks to places -- Network design and redesign -- Be on the way! : moral implications of location choice -- On the boulevard -- Take the long view -- Epilogue : geometry, choices, freedom.Transportation expert Jarrett Walker believes that transit can be simple, if we focus on the underlying geometry that all transit systems share. In Human Transit, Revised Edition, he provides the basic tools and critical questions needed to make smarter decisions about designing and implementing services, refreshed with updated information and examples. The first edition of Human Transit, published in 2011, has become a classic for professionals, advocates, and interested citizens. No other book explains the basic principles of public transit in such lively and accessible prose, all based on a respect for your right to form your own opinion. Walker's goal is not to make you share his values, but to give you the tools to clarify and advocate for yours. Walker has updated and expanded the book to deepen its explanations. His ongoing work as a network planning consultant has provided a wealth of new examples, images, and tools. New topics include the problem with specialization; the role of flexible or "demand response" services; how to know when to redesign your network; and responding to tech-industry claims that transit will soon be obsolete. Finally, he has also added a major new section exploring the idea of access to opportunity as a core measure of transit's success. Whether you are a professional or a concerned citizen, the revised edition of this accessible guide can help you to achieve successful public transit that will enrich any community.

This issue of the TRR also examines time dependent origin destination demand estimation, disaggregate multimodal travel demand modeling, discrete continuum transportation networks, distribution and assignment of compulsory and discretionary traffic, reliable shortest paths, capacitated vehicle routing problem, adaptive traffic control, and dynamic network loading with queue spillback. In addition, this TRR highlights traffic impact studies, travel speed forecasting, transit stop level origin destination estimation, bi level optimization model for public transportation network redesign problem, comparison of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, vulnerability analysis of transportation network under scenarios of sea level rise, and locating link count sensors.

1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games and Paralympic Games event study / by Amodei, Richard.(CARDINAL)314824; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Office of Safety and Traffic Operations Research and Development.(CARDINAL)172825; Booz, Allen & Hamilton.(CARDINAL)143506; Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.(CARDINAL)286897;

Includes bibliographical references (page 238).Executive summary -- Introduction -- The Olympic and Paralympic games -- Findings -- Conclusions -- References -- Appendix A: Booz-Allen & Hamilton daily reports -- Appendix B: Atlanta traveler information showcase user assessment.Final report;The Atlanta metropolitan region was the location of one of the most ambitious Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployments in the United States. This deployment included several individual projects - a Central Transportation Management Center (TMC), six Traffic Control Centers (TCCs), one Transit Information Center (TIC), the Travel Information Showcase (TIS), and the extension of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Rail network and the new high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-85 and I-75. This report presents the findings of the 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Games Events Study - a compilation of findings of system performance, the benefits realized, and the lessons learned during their operations over the events period. The study assessed the performance of the various Travel Demand Management (TDM) plans employed for Olympic Games traffic management. This intermodal system performance and benefits assessment also presents recommendations for other major special-event host cities and ITS deployments, based on the lessons learned from the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games transportation operations.Sponsored by Office of Safety and Traffic, Operations Research and Development, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.
