This study seeks to examine the potential impacts of Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) technologies in terms of vehicle emissions, air quality, and fuel consumption. The potential impact of APTS technologies on pollutant emissions and fuel consumption are examined. The results invite...

This paper describes the specifications and the determinants for inclusion of a deliberative process to support intelligent transportation planning. Specifications for a system suitable for transportation planning have been defined, as have the determinants of a prototype for inclusion in early...

This paper presents a simple prototype to demonstrate the key functions of PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis for Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems). The prototype has a planning vector that allows users to enter and edit transportation actions, performance measures and...

This paper presents a functional description of PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems). The methodology consists of a process-based computer system that supports a series of mutually interdependent steps which progress toward developing and programming...

This paper discusses the integration of PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems) components. The integration is achieved by defining a structure for representing transportation improvement actions, performance measures and environment in terms of...

This study presents a framework for integrating planning and analysis in a computer supported environment that facilitates deliberation and consensus seeking. The planning process conducted with the aid of an intelligent facilitator benefits from on-line analysis capabilities that are integrated...

This paper develops a data synthesis methodology in PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis Integration for Intelligent Transportation systems) using case- based reasoning. The reasoner contains mechanisms for matching, ranking and analyzing past cases in relation to current cases. The current cases...
