This book was released on 2010 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report develops standardized descriptions of the dimensions of the freight transportation system, defines freight mobility constraints in a multimodal context, provides criteria for low-cost and quickly implementable improvements to address the constraints, and provides a software tool (CRP-CD-87) to help decision makers in evaluating constraints and selecting appropriate improvements. The report will enable both the public and private sectors to benefit from operational improvements, organizational changes, and other low-cost ways to address freight-system mobility constraints."--Pub. desc.

Book excerpt: Continued development andefficient performance of thenation's freight transportationsystem is vital to maintaining astrong U.S. economy and sustainingour nation's competitive position inthe global economy. Yet, increasingcongestion on our nation's roadsand rail lines threatens toundermine the efficiency of ourfreight transportation system.Although the Department ofTransportation (DOT) has takensome steps to enhance freightmobility, there is growing concernthat additional action is needed. Toassist the Congress in enhancingnational freight mobility, GAOreviewed (1) factors that contributeto constrained freight mobility andtheir effects in areas withnationally significant freight flows,and (2) approaches to addressfreight mobility in those areas andthe challenges decision makersface in implementing thoseapproaches. GAO analyzed freighttransportation data andinterviewed stakeholders in fourareas with large freight flows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European cities increasingly face problems caused by transport and traffic. For many people transport provision is unsatisfactory and current arrangements are leading to a deteriorating environment. A fundamental problem is that our currently fragmented approach makes it difficult to understand fully the circumstances and needs of transport users. In any overall approach public transport is a crucial component. Designing Mobility and Transport Services shows how these issues can be addressed and resolved. The development of an inclusive, validated passenger experience measurement instrument is the first step in understanding the situation and thus tackling it. It is needed if we are to create high quality, user centred, integrated, accessible public transport services, which are capable of attracting and retaining public transport users whilst meeting sustainability targets. The METPEX research project was devised to tackle these issues. Coordinated by Coventry University, the METPEX consortium brought together 16 European partners from 12 countries. The project’s underlying rationale was the proposition that if transport operators and authorities were provided with a robust, reliable and tailorable means of measuring the whole multimodal passenger journey, they could improve service provision. The book describes how such an improvement can be achieved, to attract travellers out of their private vehicles, thereby reducing congestion and pollution and increasing health and well-being. It provides a template for a creative approach and a meta-design narrative in designing for transport systems to enhance mobility choices by improving the door to door journey and thus underpin sustainable transport initiatives.
