Microcomputer Applications in Transportation II

This book contains over 80 papers associated with the North American Conference on Microcomputers in Transportation held in Boston, Mass., from June 29-July 1, 1987. The papers address seven major themes on microcomputer applications in transportation: (1) Traffic engineering; (2) urban transportation planning; (3) public transportation applications; (4) design, construction, and maintenance of transportation facilities; (5) personnel and resources management; (6) modeling, monitoring, and managing transportation facilities; and (7) advanced technologies and future considerations. Within these categories are discussions of traffic analysis and control, accident analysis, travel demand, and transportation scheduling. Actual experiences of transportation professionals, rather than hypothetical or anticipated results are stressed.
