DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) in Texas play a vital role in managing traffic operations in many of major metropolitan areas. TMCs have deployed extensive detection, monitoring, and communication infrastructure to allow TxDOT operators to manage incidents and reduce collisions; provide traveler information through roadside assets; provide traffic status to broadcast media; and support work zone monitoring and construction information. Currently there is no cross-border TMC or traveler data exchange along the Texas/Mexico border to inform the traveling public of the traffic conditions on the other side of the border, so travelers do not have information on traveling conditions between border sister-cities. Researchers evaluated the current state of the practice and future plans in Mexico to advance intelligent transportation systems, and developed a framework and an action plan for TxDOT to lead the deployment of cross-border TMCs and share data to improve the traffic conditions along the Texas/Mexico border and adjacent border cities

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe evaluation of the impacts of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) treatments is at an early, but important stage. The national-level focus on a "few good measures" provides a standard, systematic method for understanding a variety of programs and projects. This report presents an expanded process and measures for considering the effect of ITS investments. A series of questions are proposed to bring out the potential effects of ITS programs that may not be analyzed due to relatively little data or complex relationships. This particularly relates to subject areas unfamiliar to the public sector transport agencies that typically are in charge of ITS deployment. These groups have little experience with logistics, supply chains, or business restructuring concepts. The report also recommends expanding one goal and adding another. It suggests that local goals be identified and studied as a way of exploring important attributes and developing future plans. The important factors might be better analyzed and incorporated with a multi-criteria analysis approach, rather than the traditional benefit/cost analysis. This approach will also allow the local concerns to be addressed in a more "customized" process and produce the statistics needed to compare local projects with national standards and results

DOWNLOAD EBOOKComputerization has generated dramatic advances In telecommunications, such as mobile telephones and video conferencing. Coupled with this are major changes in regulation, as telephone companies face new competitors. States are experimenting with new forms of utility regulation and deregulation in order to cope with the demands of rising competition. Here Mueller examines in detail the results of a radical telephone regulation law.In 1986, the state of Nebraska completely discarded traditional utility regulation, deregulating rates and profits of its local telephone companies. The Nebraska experiment has become a benchmark for reassessing the role of state regulation In the future of telecommunications. Using comparative data from five midwestern states, Mueller shows how deregulation affected rates, investment, infrastructure modernization, and profits. He uncovers both positive and negative results. Mueller found established telephone companies to be basically conservative, not aggressive and expansionist, and concludes that new competition, not regulation or deregulation, is transforming the telecommunications industry.This book is the first systematic empirical study of the controversial Nebraska law and its broader effects. It will be a significant addition to the much debated issue of telecommunications deregulation. Economists, policymakers, and telecommunications managers will find in this volume a substantial resource. According to Robert Atkinson, senior vice president of Teleport Communications Group: "Nebraska's experiences with telecommunications deregulation - the good, the bad and the ugly - need to be understood by all telecommunications policymakers across the country so that they can emulate Nebraska's successes and avoid its mistakes. Mueller provides the roadmap."
