Computerized Urban Transportation Systems in the U.S.A - A Trip Report

The U.S. trip was undertaken with the following aims: (1) To provide one essential part of the information needed for the preparation of the volume on "Computerized Urban Traffic Control and Guidance Systems (CUTC)" of IIASA's state-of-the-art series. This CUTC volume will contain several case descriptions dealing with advanced computer applications operational in tile U.S. Therefore, an essential concern of the trip was to meet with possible authors of these case descriptions and to visit the corresponding advanced systems. (2) To meet with possible participants for a planning conference on future transportation research work at IIASA. This conference will take place during the week of February 16-20, 1976, in connection with the IFAC workshop on "Optimization Applied to Transportation" sponsored by IIASA. (3) To take part in the IFAC (International Federation on Automatic Control) World Congress in Boston, August 24-10, 1975; presentation of a paper and serving as vice-chairman of session 4, "Transportation Systems.

Roadway Alignments as Assets: Evaluating Alternatives for Valuing Major Highway Corridor Rights of Way Final Report December 2010 Sponsored

In most highway asset management exercises, real estate used in alignments is considered to be an asset class that does not depreciate. Although the treatment of right of way assets as non-depreciable real property may be appropriate as an accounting exercise, the fact is that the real estate contained in transportation corridors can in fact lose value from a traffic service point of view. Such facilities become functionally obsolete in that they no longer serve the purpose that was intended when they were planned, designed, and built. This report is intended to begin a discussion of the topic of how highway alignments ought be valued as assets as opposed to how they generally are valued, at either book value or replacement value, given it can be shown that some highway alignments do in fact depreciate in value
