UC Irvine Institute of Transportation Studies

In addition to the resources available from the ITS Berkeley Library, ITS at UCI subscribes to the major transportation research journals and offers a variety of computer-based information retrieval services.

ITS is linked to the broader professional community through a series of research colloquia and specialty conferences.

The h-index value from Web of Science for UCI in transportation related journals as of July 2011 was 31, which means 31 publications had at least 31 citations or more.

1979 – Charles Lave developed the first disaggregate automobile choice model, using multinomial logit[3] 1985 – Gordon Fielding, Timlynn Babistky, and Mary Brenner identified a set of performance measures to assess bus transit performance[4] 1986 – Will Recker and Michael McNally proposed the theoretical background for the first operational activity-based model, STARCHILD[5] 1986 – Will Recker and Michael McNally presented part II of their STARCHILD model[6] 1987 – Thomas Golob, Will Recker, and John Leonard studied truck-related accidents using log-linear models and found that durations of accidents were log-normally distributed[7] 1992 – Kenneth Small proposed a revenue distribution model to make congestion pricing practical and politically viable[8] 1992 – Genevieve Giuliano reviewed congestion pricing policies and suggested politically acceptable alternatives[9] 1994 – Charles Lave and Patrick Elias examined the 65 mph speed limit systematically at the statewide level and showed that the change from 55 mph reduced fatality rates[10] 1995 – Kelvin Cheu and Stephen Ritchie developed an incident detection algorithm based on inductive loop data and an artificial neural network method[11] 1995 – Kenneth Small measured the costs of air pollution in Los Angeles from motor vehicles[12] 1995 – Jayakrishnan, Wei Tsai, and Anthony Chen developed a dynamic traffic assignment model with network loading that made use of DYNASMART, the first mesoscopic traffic simulation model[13] 1996 – Michael Zhang, Stephen Ritchie, and Will Recker formulated the ramp metering control as a dynamic optimal control problem and presented solution methods and validation[14] 1997 – Thomas Golob and Michael McNally used a structural model to explain interactions between household members[15] 1998 – Randall Crane empirically tested the hypothesis that urban design can influence travel, showing that no such evidence could be found from local household travel survey and GIS data[16] 1999 – Carlos Sun, Stephen Ritchie, Kevin Tsai, and Jayakrishnan formulated the vehicle reidentification problem as a lexicographic optimization problem and demonstrated robust performance[17] 2000 – David Brownstone explored the advantages of merging stated preference and revealed preference data in an empirical study to evaluate alternative fuel vehicle market penetration[18] 2000 – Thomas Golob developed a model that jointly generates activity participation, travel time, and trip generation[19] 2000 - Anthony Chen formulated the traffic equilibrium problem as an unconstrained optimization problem that is equivalent to the nonlinear complementarity problem.

[20] 2001 – Kenneth Small measured values of time and reliability from 1998 data where commuters chose between a free and a variably tolled route[21] 2001 – Marlon Boarnet further showed that the influence of land use on travel behavior is high sensitive to the choice of behavioral and statistical assumptions[22] 2001 – Thomas Golob and Amelia Regan explored ways of applying information technology to personal travel and freight research[23] 2003 – Thomas Golob conducted a review of the literature on structural equation modelling for travel behavior research[24] 2004 - Kenneth Small argued that second-best toll pricing requires explicit consideration of user heterogeneity.
