Rapid transit systems are designed to provide an efficient and convenient mode of public transportation within cities. Most frequently used by commuters unwilling to face city traffic, transit cars move at speeds up to 130 km/hr (80 mph). A given system may transport as many as 40,000 passengers per hour in one direction.

What if you could be alerted to traffic problems along your typical route before you began your drive home? Or what if you could send e-mail to get a ride home, instead of waiting for a bus? Creating smart travel choices is the focus of research being done by the Intelligent Transportation Systems Research Program at the University of Washington College of Engineering.

Most of the program's intriguing research projects focus on providing real-time transit information via such avenues as Internet video, e-mail, car radio, or small computer. At the site you can also read abstracts of the projects or see a demo of the University's on-demand carpooling system (called Seattle Smart Traveler). You can also find abstracts outlining various transportation research programs in the Publications section, or click on Transportation Sites for more links to online transportation resources.3
