As ubiquitous computing emerges; the users, not the end hosts, should become the focus of the communication. To achieve this goal, connections should be carried between users, independent from the host on which the user is located.

To achieve the goals of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), State and local officials must first understand the requirements for transportation plans, programs, and projects. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) prepared this brochure to exp...

Transportation demands a large and increasing share of total energy consumption in Europe. At the same time many European countries are facing difficult decisions in achieving their long term environmental goals. Therefore energy policy, environmental pol...

A comprehensive evaluation of propulsion systems for the next generation of near-sonic long range transport aircraft indicates that socially responsive noise and emission goals can be achieved within the probable limits of acceptable airplane performance ...

This developmental effort clearly shows that a Road Transportable Analytical Laboratory System is a worthwhile and achievable goal. The RTAL is designed to fully analyze (radioanalytes, and organic and inorganic chemical analytes) 20 samples per day at th...

The research focuses upon intercity transportation and its relationship to socioeconomic characteristics in essentially rural regions. The study area consists of the nine administrative planning regions in Iowa that do not include a community of 50,000 po...

This NREL technical report determines a way for USVI to meet its petroleum reduction goal in the transportation sector. It does so first by estimating current petroleum use and key statistics and characteristics of USVI transportation. It then breaks the goal down into subordinate goals and ...

Atmospheric chemical transport models are used to simulate historic meteorological episodes for developing air quality management strategies. Wildland fire emissions need to be characterized accurately to achieve these air quality management goals. The temporal and spatial esti...

Achieving the maximum environmental benefits of an entire project's liftime (planning and design phase, construction and maintenance) has become an important goal for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). With the implementation of the Environme...

Traffic growth forecasting plays a pivotal role in achieving a variety of PennDOT goals and objectives, including transportation planning by PennDOT and its planning partners, air quality planning and conformity analyses, calculation of performance measur...

The progress made and the problems encountered by the various program elements of the shuttle program in achieving the 160 hour ground turnaround goal are presented and evaluated. Task assessment time is measured against the program allocation time.

Presented by Dan Arvizu at the 10th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference on June 29, 2006 in Washington, D.C.

The progress made in 2 years by the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) in six Texas counties is described. Transportation services have been increased in an attempt to achieve the AAA goal of helping older people remain in home and be independent for as long as p...

Over the remaining years of this century synthetic fuels will play a key role in the nation's drive for energy independence. Although self-reliance is indeed a desirable goal, many people believe it cannot be achieved without significant compromises in en...

To achieve jet noise reduction goals for the High Speed Civil Transport aircraft, researchers have been investigating the mixer-ejector nozzle concept. For this concept, a primary nozzle with multiple chutes is surrounded by an ejector. The ejector mixes ...

The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has made improving work zone (WZ) safety a high priority. Managing vehicle speeds through work zones is perceived to be an important factor in achieving this goal. A number of speed reduction techniques are curr...

This document from the Department of Transportation combines the performance report for 2001 with the performance plan for 2003. Released in March 2002, its purpose is to weigh statistics and historical trends to improve the nation's transportation system. A key focus of the report is safety; this includes highway, aviation, rail, and all forms of ...

This paper discusses studies required by sections 502 and 504 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT). The principal focus is the feasibility of achieving the percentage reduction in petroleum-based transportation fuels used by light-duty vehicles (10% in 2000, 30% in 2010) as required by section 502(b)(2). The percentage goals must ...
