Book excerpt: "In the summer of 1994, MIT was charged by the Federal Highway Administration to assess the feasibility of 'Tube Transportation.' Tube transportation intends to relieve congestion on city streets by removing much of the truck traffic and transporting freight with electrically propelled vehicles in tubes, or through a combination of tube and limited surface transport. The FHWA project consisted of two major parts: 1. assessing the technical and economic feasibility of tunneling to create tubes in cities, and 2. assessing the technical and economic feasibility of the vehicle/propulsion system. This report addresses the technical and economic feasibility of tube tunneling, and it is, in turn, subdivided in two parts. Part I provides estimates of costs to build tube networks of different density and size in typical city scenarios. Part II looks into the future and provides estimates on the effect of new technology on construction and time"--Pref.

This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, the underground has provided humans refuge, useful resources, physical support for surface structures, and a place for spiritual or artistic expression. More recently, many urban services have been placed underground. Over this time, humans have rarely considered how underground space can contribute to or be engineered to maximize its contribution to the sustainability of society. As human activities begin to change the planet and population struggle to maintain satisfactory standards of living, placing new infrastructure and related facilities underground may be the most successful way to encourage or support the redirection of urban development into sustainable patterns. Well maintained, resilient, and adequately performing underground infrastructure, therefore, becomes an essential part of sustainability, but much remains to be learned about improving the sustainability of underground infrastructure itself. At the request of the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Research Council (NRC) conducted a study to consider sustainable underground development in the urban environment, to identify research needed to maximize opportunities for using underground space, and to enhance understanding among the public and technical communities of the role of underground engineering in urban sustainability. Underground Engineering for Sustainable Urban Development explains the findings of researchers and practitioners with expertise in geotechnical engineering, underground design and construction, trenchless technologies, risk assessment, visualization techniques for geotechnical applications, sustainable infrastructure development, life cycle assessment, infrastructure policy and planning, and fire prevention, safety and ventilation in the underground. This report is intended to inform a future research track and will be of interest to a broad audience including those in the private and public sectors engaged in urban and facility planning and design, underground construction, and safety and security.

Book excerpt: In this report, ippr north argues that the role of transport as a tool for social inclusion needs to be given at least equal weight to its role in economic growth. The authors suggest a positive agenda for action to improve transport-related social exclusion in the North East with ideas, which will resonate in every part of the UK.

This book was released on 2006-08-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee's report examines the challenges involved in efforts to reduce carbon emissions from the UK transport sector and makes recommendations to improve future progress, as part of its overall priority for the current Parliament of focusing on climate change issues. Topics discussed include: the Government's strategic priorities; measures to reduce carbon emissions from road transport, trains, water freight and aviation; emissions from developing economies; the future price and availability of oil. This volume contains a range of oral and written evidence taken by the Committee in the course of its inquiry, including contributions from officials from the Department for Transport, Transport for London, the Environment Agency, Transport 2000 and Sustrans, as well as from environmental groups and from representatives from the motoring, aviation, rail, freight transport and shipping industries.
