Bioevaluation of World Transport Networks
World Scientific Publishing Company 2012; US$ 153.00Slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a monstrous single cell well known for its task-solving abilities solves computational geometry and logical problems, navigates robots and generates music.The slime mould could also build motorways, highways and expressways. It is used to analyse transport networks of Africa, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,... more...
Geographical Information and Urban Transport Systems
Wiley 2013; US$ 127.00Urban transport systems need to be analyzed from various perspectives: the offer on one hand, the demand on the other hand, but also their negative externalities (risks of transport systems). These three dimensions are rarely apprehended in an integrated perspective. This book provides a large collection of chapters dealing with these specific dimensions,... more...
Economic Impacts of Intelligent Transportation Systems
Elsevier Science 2004; US$ 240.00There are unique complexities associated with the economic valuation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and telematics. Traditional methods of quantitative analysis may not be appropriate in accurately and reliably assessing the economic impacts of these technologies. Although advanced transportation and related technologies are being planned... more...
Transport Terminals and Modal Interchanges
Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 110.00This is the first book to review a trend in transport systems which has only recently come of age: the multi-modal interchange. Separate modes of transport are being linked through 'joined-up thinking', and transport designers and authorities are only now able to exploit interchange opportunities. This book presents examples of how these new opportunities... more...
Human Reliability and Error in Transportation Systems
Springer 2007; US$ 159.99Human errors contribute significantly to most transportation crashes: approximately 70 to 90 percent of crashes are the result of human error. This book examines human reliability across all types of transportation systems. The material is accessible to readers with no previous knowledge in the field and is supported with a full explanation of the... more...
Transportation Systems Reliability and Safety
CRC Press 2011; US$ 99.95During day-to-day use, thousands of lives are lost each year due to accidents, directly or indirectly, resulting from poor transportation system reliability and safety. In the United States, automobile accidents alone result in around 42,000 deaths per year, costing billions of dollars to the economy each year. A common subject in journal articles... more...
Making Histories in Transport Museums
Continuum International Publishing 2001; US$ 140.00This book is the first in 30 years to take transport museums seriously as vehicles for the making of public histories. Drawing upon many years' experience of visiting and working in transport museums around the world, the authors argue that the sector's historical roots are more complex than is usually thought. Written from a multidisciplinary... more...
Sustainability and the Design of Transport Interchanges
Taylor and Francis 2011; US$ 71.95The interchange is a new form of transport building which integrates into a single whole various modes of public transport, putting the passenger first (rather than the infrastructure). This book presents design principles for transport interchanges and offers analysis of best practice in the UK and abroad. The author demonstrates how this complex... more...
Remote Sensing and Geospatial Technologies for Coastal Ecosystem Assessment and Management
Springer 2008; US$ 189.99Shows how remote sensing and related geospatial technologies can be used for coastal ecosystem assessment and management. This book examines various technical issues of applying remote sensing and geospatial technologies in the coastal environment. more...
Grenzen der Verwertbarkeit von Daten der elektronischen Mauterfassung zu präventiven und repressiven Zwecken.
Duncker & Humblot 2012; US$ 96.99Hauptbeschreibung Patrick Gasch leistet einen systematischen Beitrag, um die häufig unklaren Grenzen des staatlichen Informationshandelns auf den Gebieten Strafverfolgung, Gefahrenabwehr und vorbeugende Verbrechensbekämpfung zukünftig besser bestimmen zu können. Die Ausgestaltung des elektronischen Mautsystems führt einerseits zu einem Anfall zahlreicher... more...
