TRANSIT Capacity and Quality of Service Manual
Urban Transportation Planning in the United States
Author: Edward Weiner
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461454077
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
The development of U.S. urban transportation policy over the past half-century illustrates the changing relationships among federal, state, and local governments. This comprehensive text examines the evolution of urban transportation planning from early developments in highway planning in the 1930s to today’s concerns over sustainable development, security, and pollution control. Highlighting major national events, the book examines the influence of legislation, regulations, conferences, federal programs, and advances in planning procedures and technology. The volume provides in-depth coverage of the most significant event in transportation planning, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, which created a federal mandate for a comprehensive urban transportation planning process, carried out cooperatively by states and local governments with federal funding. Claiming that urban transportation planning is more sophisticated, costly, and complex than its highway and transit planning predecessors, the book demonstrates how urban transportation planning evolved in response to changes in such factors as the environment, energy, development patterns, intergovernmental coordination, and federal transit programs. This updated, revised, and expanded edition features two new chapters on global climate change and managing under conditions of constrained resources, and covers the impact of the most recent legislation, 50 years after the Highway Act of 1962, emphasizing such timely issues as security, oil dependence, performance measurement, and public-private sector collaboration.

Book Description
"TRB's Transit Cooperative Highway Research Program (TCRP) Report 165: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, Third Edition provides guidance on transit capacity and quality of service issues and the factors influencing both. The manual contains background, statistics, and graphics on the various types of public transportation, and it provides a framework for measuring transit availability, comfort, and convenience from the passenger and transit provider points of view. In addition, the manual includes quantitative techniques for calculating the capacity and other operational characteristics of bus, rail, demand-responsive, and ferry transit services, as well as transit stops, stations, and terminals. The CD-ROM that accompanies the manual provides PDF versions of all the publication's chapters for use on tablets and computers; links to all of the TCRP reports referenced in the manual; spreadsheets that help perform the calculations used in the bus, ferry, and rail transit capacity methods; and presentations that introduce the manual and its core material"--

International Scientific Siberian Transport Forum TransSiberia - 2021
Author: Aleksey Manakov
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030963837
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1595
Book Description
This book presents innovations in the field of high-speed rail technology, hyperloop transportation technologies and Maglev system, information and communication technology (ICT) for intelligent transportation systems (ITS), multimodal transportation, sustainable freight transportation, and others. The papers presented in the book are proceedings of the annual scientific forum “TransSiberia”, which is the foremost Russian transport event that focuses on innovations in rail transport. The book also presents research in the field of railway engineering, health monitoring, inspection, NDT&E, and signal processing. Developments in the field of decarbonization of railway transport and new types of fuel as an alternative to electrification are proposed. The issues of sustainable operation and maintenance of railway systems and sustainable freight transportation, such as digitalization and AI technologies for sustainable asset management, operation, and maintenance of railway systems, have received a lot of research attention. The book serves as a medium for railroad academia and industry to exchange new ideas and share the latest achievements, as well as to continue supporting the productivity of the transport industry in a sustainable manner.
