Bed-load Transportation in Mountain Creek
By:United States. Soil Conservation Service,Hans Albert Einstein
Published on 1944 by
This publication presents results of experiments on sediment transportation in Mountain Creek, a typical small stream of the Southern Piedmont. These experiments have developed methods for collecting data needed in the improvement of small valleys for crop production. They have resulted in the development of methods (1) for estimating the sediment load, particularly the heretofore unmeasurable bed load of small streams, (2) for estimating the effects, in small valleys, of reducing sediment loads through conservation practices, and (3) for estimating the effects of channel improvements, such as cut-offs, on flooding and channel sedimentation.

Sustainable Mass Transit
By:Thomas Abdallah
Published on 2017-05-10 by Elsevier
Sustainable Mass Transit: Challenges and Opportunities in Urban Public Transportation examines the numerous types of mass transit systems, looking closely at all their key functions, including operations, maintenance, development, design, building and retrofitting. It examines the mitigation measures that reduce or eliminate negative environmental impacts, including green infrastructure, materials conservation, ecological conservation and other sustainable initiatives. The book explores organizational best practices, environmental regulatory constraints and life-cycle assessments, describing which sustainable elements can be added while rehabilitating or expanding a mass transportation infrastructure or ancillary facility. The book concludes with a look at forthcoming sustainable initiatives that will enhance mass transit systems. Contains case studies from the United States, Europe, South America, Africa and Asia Uses applied research written by transportation practitioners and scholars Explores how Environmental Management System frameworks improve environmental performance in the operations, maintenance, design, rehabilitation and expansion of a mass transportation system Shows how teams from different fields, entities, agencies and cities can work together to solve complex sustainability challenges

Transportation
By:John Joseph Coyle,Edward J. Bardi,Robert A. Novack
Published on 2006 by South-Western Pub
This text is intended to help students understand both the fundamental role and importance of transportation in companies and in our society, and the complex environment in which transportation service is provided today. The authors take a managerial approach to teaching transportation concepts and issues, providing students the tools to adapt to this fast-paced and rapidly changing industry. [In this book], the role and importance of transportation in the supply chain management and the economy are explored along with an overview of transportation regulation and public policy. [Next, the book] addresses the traditional modes of transportation including special carriers and global transportation. [Finally, it] discusses transportation management from both the shipper and carrier perspective.

Perspectives on Competition in Transportation
By:Michael Pickhardt,Jordi Sardà Pons
Published on 2006 by LIT Verlag Münster
Issues of competition seem to have been neglected for a long time in the transportation sector. But the provision of transport services at competitive prices and quantities may have an important impact on economic development, both from a regional and a global perspective. This volume addresses such issues of competition in transportation. Part I deals with the air transport sector, part II is concerned with the road transport sector, part III takes a look at transportation costs and, in the final part, some visions of competition in transportation are discussed. Michael Pickhardt is an economist at the Technical University Chemnitz (Germany). Jordi Sard Pons is professor at the Economic Department of the University Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Catalonia (Spain).

Transportation and Information
By:Piyushimita (Vonu) Thakuriah,D. Glenn Geers
Published on 2013-06-18 by Springer Science & Business Media
Transformations in wireless connectivity and location-aware technologies hold the promise of bringing a sea-change in the way transportation information is generated and used in the future. Sensors in the transportation system, when integrated with those in other sectors (for example, energy, utility and health) have the potential to foster novel new ways of improving livability and sustainability. The end-result of these developments has been somewhat contradictory. Although automation in the transportation environment has become increasingly widespread, the level of involvement and active participation by people, in terms of co-creation and contribution of information, has also increased. As a result, the following two major trends have been observed: (1) increases in Machine-to- Machine (M2M) communications; and (2) increases in the variety and volume of User-Generated Content. In this transportation paradigm, the pervasive use of Information and Communication Technologies will serve as the foundation for mobility intelligence towards an “ubiquitous information-centered mobility environment”. However, many technical and operational questions, as well as social, management and legal challenges present themselves in the transformation to this vision. The book presents a non-technical review of research and initiatives and a discussion of such opportunities and challenges.

Future Tech
By:Paul Schilperoord
Published on 2006 by Black Dog Publishing
Futuristic transportation is a concept that has provided a constant source of fascination for scientists, designers and artists. Using a range of illustrations, original diagrams, photographs and historical explanations, Future Tech explores the key developments at the forefront of vehicular technology, ranging from current advancements, such as hydrogen cell cars to projects still in early stages of development, such as jet paks, flying trains and wave piercing catamarans. The technologies are examined thoroughly and their advantages and disadvantages clearly assessed. Future Tech is a compilation of material which explores and defines the way the future is imagined in the present, and tries to answer that ever more pressing question of how we move forward.
