An investigation of operational procedures for highway advisory radio systems / by Smith, Brian L.,1967-(CARDINAL)313386; Virginia.Department of Transportation.(CARDINAL)291718; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 17-18).Final report.A key objective of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is to provide travelers with accurate, real-time information, helping them make better decisions about when to travel, what mode to use, and what route to take. An interface is necessary to convey this information. Currently, the AM radio is an interface available in nearly all automobiles. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has deployed highway advisory radio (HAR) in several regions of the Commonwealth. This study reviewed previous research and technical information, examined the use of HAR in Virginia and other states by interviewing key personnel, and surveyed Virginia motorists to ascertain the public's perception of HAR. The results were used to develop the HAR Operational Guidelines, published in a separate document, and the conclusions contained in this report. Specifically, Proper HAR operation is personnel-intensive. To be of actual value to motorists, information must be gathered from many agencies, consolidated rapidly and accurately, and frequently updated. Presently, information provided on HAR stations is of limited value to motorists. Consequently, motorists depend on commercial radio station traffic reports for most of their information, instead of tuning in to HAR broadcasts. Changeable message signs should be used to advise motorists when they are in an HAR broadcast area, directing specific messages to the appropriate audience. Conventional vertical antennae are more cost-effective than radiating cable systems, and should be used exclusively.

Evaluation of the use of electronic shipping papers for hazardous materials shipments / by Tate, William H.(CARDINAL)310368; United States.Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.(CARDINAL)297243; Hazardous Materials Cooperative Research Program.(CARDINAL)309378; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 74-75).This report examines the challenges of advancing the use of electronic shipping papers as an alternative to the current paper-based hazardous materials communication system. Paper copy hazardous materials shipping papers have several drawbacks: they are labor intensive and subject to human error; they are perishable and may not be available to emergency responders in the event of an incident; and they are difficult to exchange between modes or different vehicles within a mode. The use of internationally compatible electronic data-sharing technologies could significantly improve the exchange of hazardous materials shipping information among shippers, carriers, regulatory agencies, and emergency responders. Timely access to accurate hazardous materials shipping information will likely reduce errors in information exchange, improve efficiency, enhance security, and improve the response efforts in the event of a hazardous materials incident.Research sponsored by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
