ITS/CVO and CVISN

This course emphasizes the ITS/CVO program and the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) initiative. After a short discussion of some key problem existing in CVO, students are introduced to the four ITS/CVO program areas: Safety Assurance, Credentials Administration, Electronic Screening, and Carrier Operations. The concepts underlying current and future strategies are des......
 

The course is intended to provide an understanding of the National ITS Architecture and its relationship to systems engineering principles. ITS offers a large variety of options to address transportation needs. Thus, adequate guidance is necessary to guarantee compatibility among systems solutions developed by regional neighbors. The National ITS Architecture provides this overall guidance to e......
 

This course is focused on Intermodalism with particular emphasis on intermodal freight transportation issues. Students are introduced to the components of intermodal transportation systems and the trends emerging in freight transportation at large. Advanced technologies used in intermodal transportation (e.g. RF tags, satellite wireless communications, bar codes) are addressed next, followed by......
 

Incident and emergency management is one of the areas that has received numerous benefits from applying ITS. Incidents contribute nearly 60 % of annual roadway congestion and thus should be detected, verified, responded to, and cleared as quickly as possible. The importance of Incident and Emergency Management is at the basis of this course, in which incident characteristics and impact, inciden......
 

This course aims to increase awareness of the benefits to be gained through the deployment of ITS for highway safety applications. Following a brief introduction, Lesson 2 provides an overview of safety challenges currently facing transportation engineers with particular focus on ten areas in which these challenges can be mitigated using a variety of ITS applications. Discussion of these applic......
 

Database management systems play an essential role in most modern transportation management, administrative, and control systems. Therefore, transportation professionals are often responsible for making design, development, operations, and maintenance decisions concerning database management systems. In addition, many transportation professionals are users of database management systems to su......
 

This course provides students with a comprehensive look at the scope and process of evaluation and the steps for accomplishing an evaluation. Also covered are some specific mathematical calculations involved in evaluation and tools used to evaluate ITS projects. The subjects of use impacts, ITS benefits, and evaluation boundaries are also discussed at some length. The revised course objectiv......
 

This overview of Electronic Payment systems is focused on the areas of applications, EPS architecture and components, and electronic media characteristics. Public Transit, Road Tolling, Parking, and Multipurpose applications are discussed in the first section, and followed by a brief review of the most important security criteria relevant to EPS. The next segment, on EPS architecture and compon......
 

It is said that between 6-10% of urban congestion is caused by inefficient route choice. Enabling a more efficient distribution of trips over time and space can help curb congestion. This course discusses the fundamentals of route choice behavior and the use of in-vehicle and roadside information systems for improving route choice. Objectives Upon completion of the course, participant......
 

This course gives students an in-depth look at the importance of strategic planning and implementation processes in the deployment of ITS. Students will be provided with extensive information regarding the role of ITS, ITS alternatives and options, critical success factors for implementing and deploying ITS services, and much more. Examples of successful ITS implementations are also presented. ......
 

The widespread, widely embraced ITS movement has emphasized the benefits of integrated systems elements. This course focuses on ramp control, HOV treatments and control centers as a way to manage corridors using integrated systems elements. Objectives At the conclusion of this module students should be able to: Explain Freeway Ramp Control as a means to regulate freeway bound vehic......
 

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are electronic systems that use a variety of advanced technology sensors, communications systems, computer algorithms and traveler interfaces to improve the performance of the transportation system for operators and users. This course is designed to introduce potential ITS careers to undergraduate students in civil engineering, computer science, comp......
 

The overall goal of this course is to provide a system-level understanding of the operation of modern broadband transportation communications networks. This course focuses on how to plan and implement telecommunications networks to support a major Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) infrastructure. Objectives At the end of the course, participants will be able to: Identify the......
 

This course is intended to cover a broad set of topics in system engineering and system integration. It will provide participants with an appreciation of the principles of systems engineering and its application to ITS projects. It will also introduce participants to the techniques of systems integration associated with regional systems. Regional integration introduces the need for a more detai......
 

This comprehensive course focuses on the nationwide partnership, the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN). In its simplest form CVISN is an information-sharing effort, however it is far from simple with respect to the number of partners involved, the range of technologies deployed, the technical and institutional issues that must be addressed, and the funding challenges ......
