This paper explores urban freeway users' diversion responses to D-VMS (a new type of freeway variable message sign that explicitly provides travel times for both freeways and local streets) in the context of China. An on-site stated preference questionnaire survey was conducted to collect...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to design and develop 14-degree of freedom (DOF) robotic micromanipulator with which LIGA devices and axle hole part can be both manipulated and assembled. Design/methodology/approach – The in-house robotic microassembly system is composed of a 6-DOF...

This paper investigates the relationship between mode choice and the complexity of trip chaining patterns. An understanding of the causality between these two choice behaviors may aid in the development of tour-based travel demand modeling systems that attempt to incorporate models of trip...
