Presents an introduction to intermodal transportation. This book provides a background in transportation planning, analysis, and design while emphasizing the social, economic, and political context of transportation engineering. It includes topics such as geometric design, Highway Capacity Manual methods, and traffic signal timing.
The chapters in this book examine a number of environmental problems as well as the implications for the U.S. of growth in China, India and elsewhere. They propose methods to reduce growth in vehicle travel through new technologies and land use planning.
- Buses - chassis, integrals and bodies- Bus and rail components and subassemblies- Rail vehicles- Fleet profiles including bus and coach- Fare collection systems- Road and rail transport manufacturers and suppliers- Turnkey systems contractors- Information technology systems- Passenger information systems
A record of the development of cars, planes, boats, trains and spacecraft and covers all aspects of achievement on land, sea and in the air in the past century. Providing a tribute to the pioneer drivers and pilots as well as to the engineers and scientists who have succeeded in pushing the frontiers of speed forward.
Text on momentum, energy, and mass transfer for graduate engineering students.
These proceedings provide an authoritative source of information in the field of suspension design, vehicle-infrastructure interaction, mechatronics and vehicle control systems for road as well as rail vehicles. The research presented includes modelling and simulation.
This text brings together papers on the problems of the 21st century transport industry. It should be a useful reference for researchers and professionals concerned with the problems and solutions to world transport in the 21st century.
Covers low-cost transport devices which can reduce time and effort spent on transport. These include: carrying aids such as shoulder poles and back frames; wheelbarrows and handcarts; carriers and panniers for bicycles; and load-carrying panniers for animals and animal-drawn sledges.
This sourcebook seeks to raise awareness and to provide information on how rural transport problems might be identified and addressed, focusing on women, since they carry the main burden. It highlights rural transport activities and needs, considering household and agricultural needs.
WIGs (Wing in Ground) are advanced hybrid air cushion crafts that offer a combination of speed, fuel efficiency, and ride smoothness. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the design, development and building of these vessels.
Human errors contribute significantly to most transportation crashes: approximately 70 to 90 per cent of crashes are the result of human error. This book examines human reliability across various types of transportation systems.
Presents different issues involved in vehicular networking, including traffic engineering, human factors studies, and novel computer science research. This book covers traffic monitoring and traffic flow modeling, innovative applications enabled by vehicular networks, routing and localization, and simulation.
