Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Factors influencing trip length characteristics were investigated for the purpose of improving traffic forecasting capabilities. The analysis was based on data obtained from a number of United States and Canadian cities and from computer simulation studies. The three most important factors found to influence trip lengths were 1. size and physical structure of the urban area, 2. quality of the transportation system, and 3. socio-economic factors.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of the characteristics of trip length is needed to determine future urban travel demands. Trip length changes are analyzed on small geographic parts of metropolitan areas, such as traffic districts. Hypotheses stating the relationship between trip length and influencing factors were formulated and tested. These tests were made through a correlation analysis of changes in the mean trip length and changes in related factors in two medium-sized urban areas (Sioux City, Iowa and Reading, Pennsylvania) of about 100,000 population, one large metropolitan area of about 3,500,000 population (Detroit), and a simulation study of the work trip for a city of about 2,500,000 people.

Book excerpt: The current state of knowledge with both studded tire performance and methods of assessing pavement wear is reported. An annotated bibliography is presented of all known research on this subject from the U.S. and European sources, a review and evaluation of the data and results of completed studies and recommendations for future research. The objectives of the study were confined to the following tests: (1) correlation of data on the frictional characteristics of studded tires on ice, packed snow, and on bare pavements, and (2) development of a method, or methods, of quantitative assessment of the difference in wearing and abrasive effects of studded versus unstudded tires on different types of surfaces. A stud-resistance coefficient for operation on ice was derived and all U.S. data are correlated with this parameter and ice temperature.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Transportation written by Mark Garrett and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 2000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing transportation through the lens of current social, economic, and policy aspects, this four-volume reference work explores the topic of transportation across multiple disciplines within the social sciences and related areas, including geography, public policy, business, and economics. The book’s articles, all written by experts in the field, seek to answer such questions as: What has been the legacy, not just economically but politically and socially as well, of President Eisenhower’s modern interstate highway system in America? With that system and the infrastructure that supports it now in a state of decline and decay, what’s the best path for the future at a time of enormous fiscal constraints? Should California politicians plunge ahead with plans for a high-speed rail that every expert says—despite the allure—will go largely unused and will never pay back the massive investment while at this very moment potholes go unfilled all across the state? What path is best for emerging countries to keep pace with dramatic economic growth for their part? What are the social and financial costs of gridlock in our cities? Features: Approximately 675 signed articles authored by prominent scholars are arranged in A-to-Z fashion and conclude with Further Readings and cross references. A Chronology helps readers put individual events into historical context; a Reader’s Guide organizes entries by broad topical or thematic areas; a detailed index helps users quickly locate entries of most immediate interest; and a Resource Guide provides a list of journals, books, and associations and their websites. While articles were written to avoid jargon as much as possible, a Glossary provides quick definitions of technical terms. To ensure full, well-rounded coverage of the field, the General Editor with expertise in urban planning, public policy, and the environment worked alongside a Consulting Editor with a background in Civil Engineering. The index, Reader’s Guide, and cross references combine for thorough search-and-browse capabilities in the electronic edition. Available in both print and electronic formats, Encyclopedia of Transportation is an ideal reference for libraries and those who want to explore the issues that surround transportation in the United States and around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 358: Statewide Travel Forecasting Models examines statewide travel forecasting models designed to address planning needs and provide forecasts for statewide transportation, including passenger vehicle and freight movements. The report explores the types and purposes of models being used, integration of state and urban models, data requirements, computer needs, resources (including time, funding, training, and staff), limitations, and overall benefits. The report includes five case studies, two that focus on passenger components, two on freight components, and one on both passenger and freight.
