This thesis introduce a methodology for calculating OD flow of bus stops
based on the data of intelligent card of public transit. First, the date for deducing OD
flow of bus stops and the process of data preparing are expatiated, then analyzing
the characteristics of intelligent card of Beijing public transit, with the data and
characteristics all the possible interchange route-pairs, interchange stops and
interchange directions can be estimated. Identifying number of transfers for each
route-pairs, based on the data of intelligent card. Finally, the methodology of
calculating the OD flow of bus stops of the whole Beijing is introduced.

This paper summarises some of the achievements of information strategy work currently
conducted in the Directorate of Traffic Operations (DTO) of Transport for London (TfL),
United Kingdom. In particular the paper highlights a comprehensive system and data
audit, an intelligence requirement capture exercise, and a network analysis methodology.

The North/West Passage Program is a collaboration of eight adjacent Northern states
along the I-90/I-94 corridor from Seattle, Washington to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
These states share a long term vision that travelers will one day receive information
about weather, road construction, and major incident event summaries for the entire
corridor without the need to check individual state reports. A number of ITS
standards exist for data and information exchange, however the standards allow for
many optional phrases when describing events or conditions. This paper presents an
effort to develop a set of corridor-wide consistent event descriptions that can be used
by each North/West Passage state to describe major events, and ultimately support a
very effective exchange of event descriptions.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is carrying out a two-phase
project called SmartPark to demonstrate commercial technologies for conveying
information about parking availability in real-time to truck drivers on the road 24 hours
per day, seven days per week. During Phase I, two technologies (i.e., video imaging and
magnetic sensor) will be field tested for their capability to collect data to determine
whether a truck parking area is full. One of the two technologies will be continued for
Phase II, which will be demonstrating how information on parking availability can be
disseminated in real time and used in real time to divert truckers on the road from areas
that are full to areas that have space. This is the first deployment of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) for truck parking availability in the world.

This paper will present the conclusions of the ITS Integration Plan developed for the Gateway Cities, which is
comprised of 27 cities in southeast Los Angeles county and the Port of Long Beach. This Integration Plan is unique
because it has a heavy emphasis on goods movement and the private sector as a critical partner in developing solutions
that will be effective. The focus of the paper is on the importance of the private sector in public sector plans. The
partnership of the public and private sector is critical to implementing and operating systems that benefit both the
Goods Movement industry and the public sector.
