Book Description
A comprehensive discussion of automated transit This book analyzes the successful implementations of automated transit in various international locations, such as Paris, Toronto, London, and Kuala Lumpur, and investigates the apparent lack of automated transit applications in the urban environment in the United States. The book begins with a brief definition of automated transit and its historical development. After a thorough description of the technical specifications, the author highlights a few applications from each sub-group of the automated transit spectrum. International case studies display various technologies and their applications, and identify vital factors that affect each system and performance evaluations of existing applications. The book then discusses the planning and operation of automated transit applications at both macro and micro levels. Finally, the book covers a number of less successful concepts, as well as the lessons learned, allowing readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Key features: Provides a thorough examination of automated transit applications, their impact and implications for society Written by the committee chair for the Automated Transit Systems Transportation, Research Board Offers essential information on planning, costs, and applications of automated transit systems Covers driverless metros, automated LRT, group and personal rapid transit, a review of worldwide applications Includes capacity and safety guidelines, as well as vehicles, propulsion, and communication and control systems This book is essential reading for engineers, researchers, scientists, college or graduate students who work in transportation planning, engineering, operation and management fields.

Book Description
Since the beginning of times man always had a deep longing to know the future. As God forbids fortune telling, he nevertheless sends prophets to prepare his people. One of the prophets in the twentieth century was a Pentecostal Pastor called William Branham. In 1933 he received seven prophetic visions on end time events. In the fourth vision he saw cars running automatically on American highways. Cars had no steering wheel and the front passengers were turned backwards playing some kind of game. The roof was completely transparent and cars were egg shaped. This prophecy is now in the process of being fulfilled. In 1997 a dozen of cars moved automatically on a Californian highway. The technology is now present to help establish these highways. Science will soon accomplish what God foretold. This book explains scientifically how and when science will fulfill this prophecy in the twenty first century. For more information contact Edwin Standley: [email protected] Leonidas Muganda and Edwin Standley are Pastor and Engineer in Electronics respectively. They met for the first time at Hull University in England during their studies. Leonidas is married to Francoise and has three sons. He lives in Leicester and is a leader in his church. He has a passion for the word of God that he knows from Genesis to Revelation. Edwin lives in France, and is interested in science and especially automated cars. He read about the ministry and prophecies of a Pastor called William Branham. Leonidas and Edwin decided it was time to write a book explaining how the establishment of automated highways will fulfill what William Branham predicted in his prophecies a long time ago.

Book Description
This report presents the results of its performance assessment of the feasibility of applying cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems (CVHAS) to bus transit and freight movements in the metropolitan Chicago area. Cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems are systems that provide driving control assistance or fully automated driving and are based on information about the vehicle's driving environment that can be received by communication from other vehicles or from the infrastructure, as well as from their own on-board sensors.

Book Description
NCHRP Report 649/NCFRP Report 3: Separation of Vehicles - CMV-Only Lanes presents an extensive compendium of information about CMV-only lanes and examines major issues and concepts that should be understood in developing new applications of CMV-only lane concepts as a potential method for both easing congestion and reducing the number of traffic accidents on highways. Appendices to this report, including an annotated literature review, performance evaluation criteria, benefits monetization factors and unit costs, and net present value calculations for benefit-cost analysis, are available on the TRB website. This report and the supplemental information can be used by public agencies that may be considering CMV-only lane concepts in corridor studies or other planning applications. The report provides data such agencies can use to support their own evaluations of CMV-only lane projects.
