Transportation for livable cities
Transportation for livable cities
By:Vukan R. Vuchic
Published on 1999 by Rutgers Univ Center for Urban
The era of projects aimed at maximiing vehicular travel is being replaced by the broader goal of achieving livable cities: economically efficient, socially sound, and environmentally sustainable. This book explores the complex relationship between transportation and the character of cities and met\u00adropolitan regions. Vukan R. Vuchic, UPS Foundation Professor of Trans\u00adportation Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, applies his extensive experi\u00adence in urban transportation systems and policies to present a systematic review of trans\u00adportation modes. He discusses the consequences of excessive automobile dependence and shows that the most livable cities worldwide have intermodal systems that balance highway and public transit modes while providing for pedestrians, bicyclists, and paratransit. Vuchic integrates theoretical analyses of transportation systems with recommendations for their practical application. He describes measures that can be considered in improving the urban environment: transit incentives and automobile disincentives, congestion pricing, HOV lanes, and auto-restricted ones. The complex, often misunderstood, and political issues surrounding costs, charges, and subsidies— direct and hidden—inherent in alternative transportation systems are discussed and illustrated graphically. Photographs from cities around the world depict visually the compelling case that the author makes for less reliance on private auto\u00admobile travel and greater consideration of other modes. This book defines the policies necessary for achieving livable cities for future generations: the effective implemen\u00adtation of integrated intermodal transportation systems. Students, city and transportation planners, metropolitan plan\u00adning organiations, and policymakers at all levels will find the recommendations in this book important and relevant. What makes a city eminently livable? Americans return from travel abroad charmed by the pedestrian boulevards of cities like Brussels, Copenhagen, and Munich. City strollers there linger and en joy the pedestrian-only streets and plaas that characterie these special places. In many European cities, excellent networks of public transportation make it unnecessary for residents to own, or visitors to rent, a car. Vukan R. Vuchic, who holds an endowed chair in transportation engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, maintains that U.S. cities should strive to attain the design and transportation planning achievements of other cities in North America, Europe, and Australia. Underutilied mass transit and the reliance on private automobiles in cities are cause-and-effect forces that negatively affect the |livability| of the urban environment. Making our cities pedestrian-, bicycle-, and paratransit-friendly, Vuchic believes, is a goal that the United States can achieve with integrated planning. Should automobile use in cities be restricted to a constrained space, or should the city adapt to vehicular traffic? The optimum goal, Professor Vuchic stresses, is a middle-of-the-road approach that achieves balanced development: a complex marriage of economies of aggregation and the creation of livable cities. Although no single method of transportation can satisfy the diverse needs of a metropolitan area, he maintains, pedestrian modes of mobility and private car use, together with public transit, form a workable plan for cities' diverse densities and human character. Based on years of observing the urban condition here and abroad, Vuchic discusses measures that can be considered in improving the urban environment: transit incentives and automobile disincentives, congestion pricing, and HOV lanes, for example. Students, city and transportation planners, and policymakers will find the recommendations in this book important and relevant.

Ghana on the Go
Ghana on the Go
By:Jennifer Hart
Published on 2016-10-03 by Indiana University Press
As early as the 1910s, African drivers in colonial Ghana understood the possibilities that using imported motor transport could further the social and economic agendas of a diverse array of local agents, including chiefs, farmers, traders, fishermen, and urban workers. Jennifer Hart's powerful narrative of auto-mobility shows how drivers built on old trade routes to increase the speed and scale of motorized travel. Hart reveals that new forms of labor migration, economic enterprise, cultural production, and social practice were defined by autonomy and mobility and thus shaped the practices and values that formed the foundations of Ghanaian society today. Focusing on the everyday lives of individuals who participated in this century of social, cultural, and technological change, Hart comes to a more sensitive understanding of the ways in which these individuals made new technology meaningful to their local communities and associated it with their future aspirations.

Bicycle / Race
Bicycle / Race
By:Adonia Lugo
Published on 2018 by
Bicycle / Race paints an unforgettable picture of Los Angeles and the United States from the perspective of two wheels. This is a book of borderlands and intersections, a cautionary tale about the dangers of putting infrastructure before culture, and a coming-of-age story about power and identity. The colonial history of southern California is interwoven through Adonia Lugo's story of growing up Chicana in Orange County, becoming a bicycle anthropologist, and co-founding Los Angeles's hallmark open streets cycling event, CicLAvia, along the way.

Railway Transportation Systems
Railway Transportation Systems
By:Christos N. Pyrgidis
Published on 2016-04-05 by CRC Press
Incorporates More Than 25 Years of Research and Experience Railway Transportation Systems: Design, Construction and Operation presents a comprehensive overview of railway passenger and freight transport systems, from design through to construction and operation. It covers the range of railway passenger systems, from conventional and high speed inter-urban systems through to suburban, regional and urban ones. Moreover, it thoroughly covers freight railway systems transporting conventional loads, heavy loads and dangerous goods. For each system it provides a definition, a brief overview of its evolution and examples of good practice, the main design, construction and operational characteristics, the preconditions for its selection, and the steps required to check the feasibility of its implementation. Developed for Engineers, Designers, and Operators of Railway Systems The book also provides a general overview of issues related to safety, interface with the environment, cutting-edge technologies, and finally the techniques that govern the stability and guidance of railway vehicles on track. Contains information on the three main constituents of all railway systems: railway infrastructure, rolling stock, railway operations Provides a methodology for testing the applicability of the implementation of railway systems Offers an overview of issues related to the safety of railway systems in general Describes their interfaces with the environment, the cutting-edge technologies that are already in place as well as those that are under research, and the techniques that govern the stability and guidance of railway vehicles on track Railway Transportation Systems: Design, Construction and Operation suits students, and also those in the industry ‒ engineers, consultants, manufacturers, transport company executives ‒ who need some breadth of knowledge to guide them over the course of their careers.
