Modern Railway Transportation
By:B. H. North,Institution of Civil Engineers (Great Britain)
Published on 1993-01-01 by Thomas Telford
After several decades of the promotion of road transport we have now realised that the provision of more roads will not on its own solve our traffic problems. More emphasis is being placed on rail transport and with the advent of the EC and the Channel Tunnel strategies are changing both for passengers and freight. There has never been so much activity in rail transport as we are currently experiencing. This will continue and increase into the next decade and beyond, and will be a critical aspect of transport planning for the long term. This book reviews the international and national scene in all sectors of the industry and takes a look at the development which will continue into the 21st century.

Surface Transportation Security
By:Stephen M. Lord
Published on 2010-08 by DIANE Publishing
Terrorist attacks on surface transportation facilities in Moscow, Mumbai, London, and Madrid caused casualties and highlighted the vulnerability of such systems. The Transportation Security Admin. (TSA) is the primary fed. agency responsible for security of transportation systems. This testimony focuses on the extent to which: (1) DHS has used risk management in strengthening surface transportation security; (2) TSA has coordinated its strategy and efforts for securing surface transportation with stakeholders; (3) TSA has measured the effectiveness of its surface transportation security-improvement actions; and (4) TSA has made progress in deploying surface transportation security inspectors and related challenges it faces in doing so.

Modernity and Autobiography in Nineteenth-Century America
By:James E. Dobson
Published on 2017-09-14 by Springer
This book examines temporal and formal disruptions found in American autobiographical narratives produced during the end of the nineteenth century. It argues that disruptions were primarily the result of encounters with new communication and transportation technologies. Through readings of major autobiographical works of the period, James E. Dobson argues that the range of affective responses to writing, communicating, and traveling at increasing speed and distance were registered in this literature’s formal innovation. These autobiographical works, Dobson claims, complicate our understanding of the lived experience of time, temporality, and existing accounts of periodization. This study first examines the competing views of space and time in the nineteenth century and then moves to examine how high-speed train travel altered American literary regionalism, the region, and history. Later chapters examine two narratives of failed homecoming that are deeply ambivalent about modernity and technology, Henry James’s The American Scene and Theodore Dreiser’s A Hoosier Holiday, before a reading of the telephone network as a metaphor for historiography and autobiography in Henry Adams’s The Education of Henry Adams.

New Analytical Advances in Transportation and Spatial Dynamics
By:Massimo Gastaldi,Aura Reggiani
Published on 2001 by Ashgate Pub Limited
A delightfully oriented selection of international state-of-the-art research in applied regional science, this informative volume places particular emphasis on the use of qualitative/quantitative methodologies in transportation and spatial dynamics. It presents new theoretical contributions in the context of spatial competition dynamics, particularly illustrating various combinations of methods and models regarding new measures of competition/cohesion in the two main fields of transportation and spatial dynamics.

Public Transportation's Role in Responding to Climate Change
By:Tina Hodges
Published on 2010-11 by DIANE Publishing
The Fed. Transit Admin. (FTA) collects and analyzes data from across the country on public transportation (PT) fuel use, vehicles deployed, rides taken, etc. These data provides valuable insight into the impacts of auto, truck, SUV, and PT travel on the production of greenhouse gas emissions. There are significant greenhouse gas emission savings by using PT. This paper presents an analysis of the data and frames it in a broader context. It concludes with a description of FTA actions that address climate change. PT can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by: Providing a low emissions alternative to driving; Facilitating compact land use, reducing the need to travel long distances; and Minimizing the carbon footprint of transit oper.

Perspectives on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
By:Joseph S. Sussman
Published on 2008-05-26 by Springer Science & Business Media
|Perspectives on ITS| is a collection of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) writings of Professor Joseph M. Sussman from MIT. Professor Sussman is a long-time major participant in the ITS world, beginning with his work on the core writing team in the original |IVHS| Strategic Plan in 1991-92, and continuing on to the present day. He has worked in a number of ITS area and is a keen observer of the ITS scene in general. The book contains extended articles on various aspects of ITS and perspectives on the future of the field, building on its rich history; organizational issues related to ITS – in particular, regionalism and the transportation / information infrastructure; and ITS’ implications for the transportation profession at large and for transportation education. In addition it contains 14 selected columns from the ITS Quarterly.

Topics in Optimal Transportation
By:Cédric Villani
Published on 2003 by American Mathematical Soc.
Cedric Villani's book is a lucid and very readable documentation of the tremendous recent analytic progress in ``optimal mass transportation'' theory and of its diverse and unexpected applications in optimization, nonlinear PDE, geometry, and mathematical physics. --Lawrence C. Evans, University of California at Berkeley In 1781, Gaspard Monge defined the problem of ``optimal transportation'', or the transferring of mass with the least possible amount of work, with applications to engineering in mind. In 1942, Leonid Kantorovich applied the newborn machinery of linear programming to Monge's problem, with applications to economics in mind. In 1987, Yann Brenier used optimal transportation to prove a new projection theorem on the set of measure preserving maps, with applications to fluid mechanics in mind. Each of these contributions marked the beginning of a whole mathematical theory, with many unexpected ramifications. Nowadays, the Monge-Kantorovich problem is used and studied by researchers from extremely diverse horizons, including probability theory, functional analysis, isoperimetry, partial differential equations, and even meteorology. Originating from a graduate course, the present volume is at once an introduction to the field of optimal transportation and a survey of the research on the topic over the last 15 years. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers, and it covers both theory and applications. Readers are only assumed to be familiar with the basics of measure theory and functional analysis.

Miles to Go
By:James A. Dunn
Published on 1981-01 by Mit Press
This incisive and highly readable book offers a broad range of perspectives, directions, and policy options for transportation planners and political practitioners. Dunn compares various modes of American transportation with those of three western European countries that have historically been faced with greater resource constraints in terms of energy use, environmental and land-use controls, and financial commitments. Specifically, the piecemeal fashion in which the railroads of France were brought under public ownership is compared with the similar&-but lagging&-trend in the United States from private ownership to federal control; the relative success of mass transit in West Germany is contrasted with the dismal decline of mass transit in American urban conglomerates; and &|the rise and fall of the road fund&| in Britain is examined both on its own terms and in terms of the perspective it accords in recounting the American experience in highway building. In addition, a chapter on the automobile probes the mechanisms that Europeans have applied to bring the runaway automotive culture under a reasonable degree of control, mechanisms that are in a sense being tested for Americans against that time when they fully face up to the necessity of putting the car in its proper place in the national lifestyle. A final chapter summarizes the author's transatlantic contrasts and completes his demonstration of the importance of cultural and institutional factors in shaping the &|paradigms of public choice.&| He concludes that resource constraints are moving America toward a more European-like need for social efficiency in transportation, and offers some fundamental policy principles based on the European experience to guide the transition.
