    Bike Love
    3/3/2023 3:00:03 PM
    Palo Alto, Calif.’s 2012 Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan has an unrealized goal to double bike commute trips, and technology could be a part of achieving that goal. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's Transit IDEA Final Report 99: Bike Love details the Palo Alto Transportation Management Association's implemention of a “Bike Love” mobile app that provides daily incentives for verifiable active mode first-mile commute trips to transit and active mode commutes from ...


    Safety Assessment of the Interaction Between the Autonomous Shuttle Bus and Vulnerable Road Users
    7/14/2022 6:15:48 PM
    There is a growing interest in deploying autonomous vehicles for public transportation. In the U.S., transportation agencies are exploring the impacts of incorporating automation on safety or mobility, especially for low-speed automated vehicles (LSAV). The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's Transit IDEA Final Report 98: Safety Assessment of the Interaction Between the Autonomous Shuttle Bus and Vulnerable Road Users identifies potential safety issues regarding LSAV interacti...


    Multi-stage Planning for Electrifying Transit Bus Systems with Multi-format Charging Facilities
    2/10/2022 6:00:19 PM
    Bus electrification is an effective way of mitigating carbon emissions in the wake of technological advancements. Electric transit bus systems (ETBS) are receiving increasing attention across the globe. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's Transit IDEA Final Report 96: Multi-stage Planning for Electrifying Transit Bus Systems with Multi-format Charging Facilities details a decision support tool that can be used by transit authorities when making electrification-related deci...


    Connected and Automated Parking Feasibility – A Pilot Study
    11/24/2021 7:00:48 PM
    Innovative automated solutions could help increase transit ridership, improve transit safety, and increase transit revenue. The TRB Transit Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) Program's Connected and Automated Parking Feasibility – A Pilot Study is the first pilot study in the United States to test the benefits transit agencies may obtain from deploying automated parking technology.


    Augmented Reality Dispatcher Interface
    5/28/2021 12:00:11 PM
    Train dispatchers could use Augmented Reality (AR) to view their current displays in 3D. Such an interface would allow dispatchers to use hand and head movements, along with voice commands, to manage the same things that they do currently on their multi-monitor displays, such as track diagrams, alarms, train and station information, and setting of train movements. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's Transit IDEA Final Report 92: Augmented Reality Dispatcher Interface summa...


    Evaluation of an Automatic, Individual Computer-Based Driver Education and Training Program
    4/12/2021 9:47:36 AM
    Safety technologies and programs aimed at reducing or eliminating risky driving behaviors may prevent a large number of crashes. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's Transit IDEA Final Report 88: Evaluation of an Automatic, Individual Computer-Based Driver Education and Training Program analyzes a software program that uses onboard safety monitoring data to monitor driver behavior and automatically assign relevant, individualized online driver training as needed.


    Evaluation of Transit Vehicle Brake Inspection through Ultrasonic Emissions Analysis
    11/13/2020 12:55:55 PM
    Advanced warning of brake problems can lead to benefits in increased transit safety and operating efficiencies. Transit safety will be improved through fewer accidents and injuries due to brake failures. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's Transit IDEA Final Report 94: Evaluation of Transit Vehicle Brake Inspection through Ultrasonic Emissions Analysis details a new approach for improving transit safety by analyzing ultrasonic sounds emitted by braking. Vehicle brakes emit...


    An Open Platform for Transit Agencies to Improve the Quality of Their Real-Time Data
    10/29/2020 8:31:29 PM
    Real-time transit data has been shown to have many benefits and is, in comparison with many other potential operational or capital improvements to bus or rail service, an affordable means of increasing ridership. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's Transit IDEA Final Report 93: An Open Platform for Transit Agencies to Improve the Quality of Their Real-Time Data details a prototype platform that makes General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Realtime validation tools readi...


    Development of a Mass-Based Automated Passenger Counter
    1/25/2020 12:56:55 PM
    Automatic passenger counters (APCs) provide passenger boarding and alighting information associated with time and location data. They are a standard tool used by many transit authorities to measure and report monthly ridership to the National Transportation Database, with resulting federal subsidies calculated solely based on the data they provide. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's Transit IDEA Final Report 84: Development of a Mass-Based Automated Passenger Counter deta...


    Dynamic Vehicle to Infrastructure TCIP Communications Laboratory Proof of Concept
    1/11/2020 12:31:19 PM
    Transit agencies in the US use four primary communications mechanisms to dispatch, monitor and manage the operations of their mobile assets: private radio systems, Wi-Fi communications, cellular communications, and track circuits and signaling. Most data communications in the transit industry today are still based on vendor proprietary communications protocols and messaging. This limits agency choices when procuring new systems and often leads to agencies experiencing vendor lock-in where an incumbent ve...
