Download or read book Surface Freight Transportation written by Phillip Herr and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road, rail, and waterway freight transportation is vital to the nation's economy. Gov't., tax, regulatory, and infrastructure investment policies can affect the costs that shippers pass on to their customers. If gov't. policy gives one mode a cost advantage over another, then shipping prices and customers' use of freight modes can be distorted, reducing the overall efficiency of the nation's economy. This report: (1) describes how gov't. policies can affect competition and efficiency within the surface freight transportation sector; (2) determines what is known about the extent to which all costs are borne by surface freight customers; and (3) discusses the use of the findings when making surface freight transportation policy. Illus. A print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's digital age, cyber threats have become an ever-increasing risk to businesses, governments, and individuals worldwide. The deep integration of technology into every facet of modern life has given rise to a complex and interconnected web of vulnerabilities. As a result, traditional, sector-specific approaches to cybersecurity have proven insufficient in the face of these sophisticated and relentless adversaries. The need for a transformative solution that transcends organizational silos and fosters cross-sector collaboration, information sharing, and intelligence-driven defense strategies is now more critical than ever. Evolution of Cross-Sector Cyber Intelligent Markets explores the changes occurring within the field of intelligent markets, noting a significant paradigm shift that redefines cybersecurity. Through engaging narratives, real-world examples, and in-depth analysis, the book illuminates the key principles and objectives driving this evolution, shedding light on innovative solutions and collaborative efforts aimed at securing our digital future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Urban Logistics offers a state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of the discipline of urban and city logistics. The COVID-19 pandemic and the rise in internet shopping in particular have placed new demands on urban logistics which require innovative technological and policy responses. Similarly, the necessity for sustainable urban logistics offers both a challenge and opportunity for development and seeks to address traffic congestion, local air quality, traffic-related degradation, the use of energy, safety aspects and noise. Featuring contributions from world-leading, international scholars, the chapters examine concepts, issues and ideas across five topic areas that reflect the increasingly diverse nature of current research and thinking in urban logistics: transport modes, urban logistics sectors, technical analysis, policy, and sustainability. Each chapter provides an overview of current knowledge, identifies issues and discusses the relevant debates in urban logistics and the future research agenda. This handbook offers a single repository on the current state of knowledge, written from a practical perspective, utilising theory that is applied and developed using real-work examples. It is an essential reference for researchers, academics and students working in all areas of urban logistics, from policy and planning to technology and sustainability, in addition to industry practitioners looking to develop their professional knowledge.
