The New Age Urban Transportation Systems, Volume II
by Sundaravalli Narayanaswami
Urbanization is a global phenomenon that hugely constrains existing transportation infrastructure in cities. Urban transportation (UT) challenges are more significant in developing countries with rapid development as the land occupation is dense.Limited urban space and infrastructure fail to meet the increasing traffic demands and to provide reasonable service quality. Therefore betterment of UT systems is more required than ever. Infrastructural development and transportation operations are ma...

Great Western: Manor Class (Locomotive Portfolios)
by Laurence Waters
The 30 Manor class 4-6-0s were designed by CB Collett in 1938, and built by the Great Western, and the Western Region at Swindon in two batches, 20 in 1938/9, and 10 in 1950. In order to save money the first 20 members of the class were built using parts from withdrawn 4300 class 2-6-0s, and were coupled to refurbished Churchward 3,500 gallon tenders. The lighter 4-6-0s Manors were given 'blue' route classification which allowed them to work over many secondary lines. The construction of the Ma...

Driver Behaviour and Training: Volume 4 (Human Factors in Road and Rail Transport)
This book considers how driver training needs to be adapted in order to raise awareness of how human factors contribute to unsafe driving behaviour. It promotes the development of driver education that considers all the skills that are essential for road safety.
An influential guide to maritime emergencies and the current strategies that can be employed to cope with the immediate after effects and ramifications of disaster at sea. Many mariners will at some point in their maritime careers become involved in one sort of emergency or another, while in port or at sea, whether it is a fire on board, a collision with another vessel or an engine failure threatening a lee shore. Actions to take in such incidents can be the difference between survival and catas...
A symbol of the "new Japan" displayed at World's Fairs, depicted in travel posters, and celebrated as the product of a national spirit of innovation, the Tokaido Shinkansen-the first bullet train, dubbed the "dream super-express"-represents the bold aspirations of a nation rebranding itself after military defeat, but also the deep problems caused by the unbridled postwar drive for economic growth. At the dawn of the space age, how could a train become such an important symbol? In Dream Super-Exp...
Off-Highway Automated Vehicles (Published Project Report, #994)
by Ianto Guy, Rebecca Wilford, Peter Ball, Mark Courtier, Malcolm Palmer, Kirsten Huysamen, and Peter Vermaat
The 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 new building type integrates with the city, on the one hand, and with different types of transport on the other. In this integration design in both...
The Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks
The IAVSD Symposium is the leading international conference in the field of ground vehicle dynamics, bringing together scientists and engineers from academia and industry. The biennial IAVSD symposia have been held in internationally renowned locations. In 2015 the 24th Symposium of the International Association for Vehicle System Dynamics (IAVSD) was held in Graz, Austria, from 17th to 21st of August 2015. The symposium was hosted by VIRTUAL VEHICLE Research Center, in cooperation with the Graz...

Transportation and Development Innovation Best Practices 2008 contains 86 papers presented at the symposium held from April 24-26, 2008 in Beijing, China. The papers showcase innovative and best practices in transportation and development across the following three tracks: Improving Integrated Transportation and Development (Track A), Operations and Safety (Track B), and Asset Monetization, Security, Highway Design, and Pavements (Track C). Hosted jointly by the Transportation and Development In...
Review of sustainable transport connectivity in Asia and the Pacific 2019
Within the transport sector in Asia and the Pacific freight and logistics account for a significant portion of total energy use - in many countries upward of 40% - and a correspondingly large share of CO2 emissions. Furthermore, on account of economic development and population growth, the region is expected to face substantial increases in trade shares and, thus, freight volumes. Accordingly, some estimates suggest that in Asia, ton-kilometres from surface freight will increase by 261% from 201...
