The goal of this work was to develop activity-based learning materials for the introductory transportation engineering course with the purpose of increasing student understanding and concept retention. These materials were to cover intersection operations from a multimodal transportation approach. The initial framework was to create a set of 4 activities, the first activity focused solely on automobile transportation, and the subsequent activities adding one additional transportation mode each. For the final work, the existing sequence of material in the textbook was used for activity development. The final work included the development of a handout for Dr. Kytes critical movement analysis method, a queuing systems field lab, a pedestrian and bicycle level of service lab, and a transit level of service lab. The lab activities provided an active learning experience, two focusing on non-auto modes. These activities facilitated a fundamental and broad understanding of core concepts in transportation engineering. This work has provided me with a better perspective on instruction of this topic and with specific future goals, including better integration of multimodal transportation into the existing curriculum, addressing issues in the textbook, and fine-tuning the work that was previously completed.

On February 24, 2012, NHTSA released a proposed set of Driver Distraction Guidelines covering original equipment in-vehicle device secondary tasks (where secondary tasks are defined as communications, entertainment, information gathering, and navigation tasks not required to drive) performed by the driver through visual-manual means (meaning the driver looking at a device, manipulating a device-related control with the drivers hand, and watching for visual feedback). These Guidelines will be used to identify secondary tasks that interfere with a driver's ability to safely control a vehicle (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 2012). The NHTSA Guidelines specify multiple test methods with acceptance criteria. While including a total of seven test protocols in its Notice of Proposed Federal Guidelines (NHTSA, 2012), NHTSA indicates that it prefers the following two test protocols and their associated acceptance criteria: Option EGDS: Eye Glance Testing Using a Driving Simulator, and Option OCC: Occlusion Testing. Following an approach set forth by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliance) and the growing body of research indicating that eye glance behavior is a prominent indicator of driver distraction, these preferred test protocols focus on eye glance behavior as a method for determining which visual or visual-manual secondary tasks are not acceptable for performance by a driver while operating a vehicle.

The final report, Evaluation of a Prototype Safer Teen Car, describes the methods, findings, and recommendations by the University of Minnesota on the practicality and benefits of a system that can provide real-time driver feedback to teen drivers. A prototype Safer Teen Car (STC) system was developed and served as the basis for a field evaluation and as a demonstration unit for stakeholder groups. The STC designed for this project was comprised of a number of interrelated subsystems, including: Teen driver identification subsystem; Seat belt detection & enhanced reminder subsystem; Passenger presence subsystem; Speed monitoring & feedback subsystem; Excessive maneuver & feedback subsystem; Cell phone use detection & mitigation subsystem; and Driving context subsystem. The findings generally showed improved safety behavior during when the STC system provided feedback. For example, the reduction in the per-mile rate of excessive maneuvers was statistically significant at night, but not during the day. In general, the results indicated reductions in the rates of speeding, excessive maneuvers, and seat belt nonuse. Overall, the STC was viewed as useful and safety-enhancing, by both teens and parents. Both teens and parents agreed that the STC changed the teens driving behavior. Parents would generally recommend the STC to other parents.

The LRT system in Denver, Colorado, connects the downtown with neighborhoods to the North, but primarily stretches southwards, travelling in existing transportation corridors carrying freeways and a heavy rail system. Outside of the downtown areas, the siting of the LRT system alongside the rigid infrastructure that comprises the heavy rail system and the freeway systems severely inhibits pedestrian accessibility to the transit system. To help further understand how the level of accessibility varies across the system, a systematic pedestrian level-of-service index for each station within the system was created that takes into account the formal, as well as informal street networks. This inaccessibility is highly likely to limit the potential that this system may have to generate development near station located that is fully integrated with the LRT system. Primary data collected by surveying households across the metropolitan area revealed very little difference between car ownership rates and weekly VMT of survey respondents living within 12- mile of an LRT station and elsewhere in the metropolitan area. Differentiating between those station areas that were Park-and-Ride (that is, had a park-and-ride lot) versus Walk-and-Ride showed a more nuanced picture. Residents who live in Walk-and-Ride stations do have have lower VMT than those who live in Park-and-Ride station areas and those who do not live near an LRT station. This reinforces the fact that development needs to be more fully integrated with the LRT system in order to achieve some intended goals such as less dependence on automobiles.

Future vehicular networks shall enable new classes of services and applications for car-to-car and car-to-roadside communication. The underlying vehicular mobility patterns significantly impact the operation and effectiveness of these services, and hence it is essential to model and characterize such patterns. In this paper, we examine the mobility of vehicles as a function of traffic density of more than 800 locations from six major metropolitan regions around the world. The traffic densities are generated from more than 25 million images and processed using background subtraction algorithm. The resulting vehicular density time series and distributions are then analyzed. It is found using the goodness-of-fit test that the vehicular density distribution follows heavy-tail distributions such as Log-gamma, Loglogistic, and Weibull in over 90of these locations. Moreover, a heavy-tail gives rise to long-range dependence and self-similarity, which we studied by estimating the Hurst exponent (H).

In this paper, on-board Measurements of particle emissions were carried out on a VW diesel car in Shanghai real roads.The test fuels included pure petroleum diesel (D100) and three different alternative fuel blends, 10％ biodiesel blend (BD10), 10％ coal-to-liquid fuel blend (C10) and 10％ gas-to-liquid fuel blend (G10) in volumetric mixture ratio.Results showed that particle emissions in freeways were terrible, and particle number emission ratios from urban roads were high.The test alternative blend fuels of BD10, Bul0, G10 and C10 all have positive effects on the particle emissions of test diesel car.

Alternative fuels have the potential to provide significant economic and environmental benefits to airports and their communities. These fuels can lead to improvements in local air quality emissions and reductions in life-cycle greenhouse gases. In addition, alternative fuels offer the possibility to diversify away from imported conventional petroleum-derived fuels and enhance energy security. Furthermore, alternative fuel distribution programs offer airports additional business opportunities to generate revenue through the operation of such facilities or leasing of land to third-party operators. Airports are natural nodes for multi-modal demand and are ideally situated to become distribution centers for a variety of alternative fuels for aircraft and surface transportation. Producers and marketers of alternative fuels can take advantage of this concentrated demand to strengthen their business case as they can cater to a wide spectrum of potential clients, including airlines, airports, and third-party operators such as rental car facilities, courtesy shuttles, taxis, buses, freight trucks, and other fleets that may operate nearby. This is especially the case for facilities that produce alternative jet fuel because, in addition to jet fuel, they also produce co-products such as green diesel, which can be used by some passenger and most cargo vehicles.
