The objective of this project is to perform evaluation tests related to the transmission of
digitized video signals over ISDN lines between a video traffic reporting camera and a
traffic management center. The quality of the received video signals can be used to
effectively monitor existing and developing traffic conditions.
An evaluation plan was developed with the concurrence of NJDOT (sponsor of the
project) consisting of: a) market survey of current video-transmission options, b) the

The competitiveness of the Port Authority of NY & NJ is dependent on intermodal freight movement through the port. This project provides an analysis of the efficiency of the Port's intermodal movements. The analysis will focus on the objective of keeping the cost of movement at a minimum while at the same time providing for maximum efficiency. The project is divided into three phases: I. crane performance (completed), II. infrastructure access and infrastructure access (near completion) and III. logistics operations of marine container terminal (the present proposal).

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) operates and maintains a network of thousands of miles of conduits, many carrying fiber optic cables, that is vital to the State?s communication system. These conduits frequently must be located and marked to avoid damage from construction. These conduits were to be located using a system of trace wires (TW) and radio frequency detection. However, for various reasons the TW are missing and this system is not functioning over a significant portion of the network.

This research project is to assess the roles and responsibilities of the Regional Information Technology organizations of New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). The Information Technology (IT) resources of NYSDOT are organized using a matrix structure. The Main Office Information Technology Bureau has an advisory role in relationship to the Regional Information Technology organizations. In order to better understand the roles and responsibilities of the Regional Information Technology organizations, their resource needs must be identified and documented.

The purpose of the following research was to determine
whether conspicuity of an illuminated traffic signal
lens could be increased with a modulating incandescent
light source. Experiments were conducted both in the
laboratory and a controlled field setting under normal
and degraded viewing conditions using both static and
dynamic testing situations.

Just like any other scientific research field, the value of data quality is undisputed in the field of transportation. From policy planning to performance evaluation, from model development to impact studies, good quality data is essential to generate ideas and clear-cut sol u t ions to be implemented by transportation professionals and decision makers.

In this study, we investigated how pedestrian traffic contributes to our State?s
economy, and what benefits walk trips or walk trips linked with other travel modes (e.g.,
cars, transit, bicycles, etc.) have for retail sales within communities located on the State
Highway Touring Route System. In New York State there are more than 180 Central
Business Districts (CBDs) or 'Main Streets' located on the State Highway Touring
Route System [1]. However, there is very little data available on the value of these

Bus transportation has traditionally served as the backbone of public transportation. Despite the importance and
efficiency of buses, compared to the automobile, these vehicles are weighted equally with automobiles at traffic
signals where a bus carrying 50 passengers is treated the same as an auto with a single person. Delays caused
by traffic signals and by street traffic congestion increase bus operating costs and degrade transit service quality.

<p>The main objective of this project was to evaluate the impact of the New York State divisible-load permit system for heavy trucks in terms of benefits and costs to society. The costs result primarily from increased pavement damage; the benefits accrue to the trucking industry (primary economic benefits) and also to New York State&#39;s economy (secondary economic benefits).

<p>Traffic congestion in Northern New Jersey imposes substantial operational and monetary penalty on bus service. The purpose of this project was to quantify the additional time and costs due to traffic congestion. A regression model was developed that estimates the travel time rate (in minutes per mile) of a bus as a function of car traffic time rate, number of passengers boarding per mile, and the number of bus tops per mile.
