Download or read book Urban Transport XXI written by C.A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Transport XXI contains the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. The series of annual conferences organised by the Wessex Institute was first held in 1995. Transportation in urban areas, with its related environmental and social impacts, is a topic of significant concern for policymakers in both municipal and central government and for the urban citizens who need effective and efficient transport systems. Urban transport systems require considerable studies to devise and then safeguard their operational use, maintenance and safety. Transportation systems produce significant environmental impacts and can enhance or degrade the quality of life in urban centres. Clearly the challenge of providing effective and efficient transport systems in urban settings remains an acute concern, with financial, political and environmental constraints limiting the ability of transport system planners and operators to deliver the high quality outcomes expected by the public. Papers cover such topics as: Urban Transport Planning and Management; Urban Transport Strategies; Public Transport Systems; Environmental Aspects; Economic and Social Impact; Safety and Security; Travel Behaviour Studies; Customer Satisfaction; Transportation Modelling and Simulation; Infrastructure Development; Intelligent and Advanced Transport Systems; Transportation Integration; City Logistics; Resilience and Inter-modal Transport Systems; Mass Transport Strategies; Social Impacts; Freight Transport; Railway Systems; Transport Governance and Administration; Port and City; Mobility and Public Space; Life Cycle Management.

Download or read book Virtual Geographic Environments written by Hui Lin and published by ESRI Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual Geographic Environments, edited by Hui Lin and Michael Batty, collects key papers that define the current momentum in GIS and "virtual geographies." Contributions by leading members of the geospatial community to Virtual Geographic Environments illustrate the cutting edge of GIScience, as well as new applications of GIS with the processing and delivery of geographic information through the Web and handheld devices, forming two major directions to these developments. The four-part organization leads from a primer on VGEs to virtual cities and landscapes, interface design and public participation, and finally mobile and networked VGEs. Current topics, such as crowd sourcing and related services, point to the development of new business models that merge proprietary and nonproprietary systems.

Download or read book Plan Rail 2050 written by Daniel Mange and published by Collection Savoir suisse. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rail 2000, plébiscité en 1987, constitue le grand projet de rénovation du réseau ferroviaire suisse. Ce livre, fruit du travail d'un groupe de spécialistes, propose ici un nouvel objectif d'envergure : intégrer enfin la Suisse dans le réseau européen à grande vitesse par deux corridors Ouest-Est et Nord-Sud, qui rapprocheront du même coup toutes les régions du pays. Tandis qu'on perce dans l'orientation Nord-Sud deux tunnels de base sous les Alpes (Lötschberg et Gothard), le corridor Ouest-Est vieillit. Tous les projets sur cet axe, des années 1960 à ce jour, sont décrits dans cet ouvrage, de la France voisine au sud de l'Allemagne via Genève, Lausanne, Berne, Bâle, Zurich et Saint-Gall. Trois étapes sont proposées pour bâtir le réseau ferroviaire de demain. La première, dénommée Cadence, met en oeuvre l'horaire rythmé à l'heure. La deuxième, Fréquence, vise à lancer un train chaque quart d'heure. Enfin la troisième, Vitesse, abrège le temps entre les métropoles. Dans le Plan Rail 2050, ces trois efforts se combinent en une véritable stratégie, qui prend en compte le trafic régional et unit la Suisse. Par la grande vitesse, trop longtemps négligée, on recrée d'excellentes communications avec les pays voisins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'aventure des chemins de fer est une histoire de visionnaires, de passionnés qui ont conquis la vitesse, dompté la nature, dépassé les limites de la science. Une histoire d'hommes en somme. C'est dans leurs vies que cet ouvrage nous plonge, racontant avec esprit et anecdotes ceux qui ont imaginé les rails, les locomotives, les signaux, les aiguillages. Ceux qui ont pensé les bogies et les wagons-lits, inventé les marteaux-piqueurs et la dynamite, réalisé les projets les plus fous - les premiers transcontinentaux, le Train des nuages jeté des ponts sur les précipices, volé des locomotives, créé des empires à partir de rien. Ceux qui, des origines jusqu'à nos jours, ont révolutionné le plus fascinant des moyens de transport. De 1825 à 1914, le rail a changé la face du monde, supprimé les disettes, fait les nations, décidé du sort des armes. Puis un déclin s'est amorcé, suivi depuis peu d'un réveil inattendu. Un réveil dont on ne prend la mesure qu'en découvrant ce qui se passe au Brésil, en Chine, en Australie, où circulent de vrais défis sur roues. Un réveil constaté dans les vieux pays comme les puissances émergentes, où se posent des questions stratégiques: faut-il creuser des tunnels sous les détroits ou à travers les montagnes, donner la priorité aux voyageurs ou aux marchandises, nationaliser ou privatiser, faire flotter les trains ou alourdir les rails? Autant d'enjeux et de réflexions majeures pour les bâtisseurs des transports de demain.

Download or read book Villes et grande vitesse written by Gilles Rabin and published by Mardaga Editions. This book was released on 2003 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Outil technique» conçu d'abord pour aller vite et loin, et pour desservir en priorité des agglomérations et des régions à forte densité démographique, la grande vitesse ferroviaire n'a pas été imaginée pour faire de l'aménagement du territoire ni multiplier les gares dans les régions moins peuplées. Son développement risque par conséquent d'accentuer les déséquilibres géographiques existants et de créer de nouvelles inégalités entre villes ou entre régions. L'Association «Les villes européennes de la grande vitesse» s'efforce de proposer depuis dix ans des réponses adaptées à ces enjeux, et notamment de transformer les lignes à grande vitesse en véritable réseau, connecté à un ensemble moderne de transport multimodal. Dans le cadre de cette réflexion globale, cet ouvrage développe une comparaison approfondie entre les approches française et allemande, et critique les stratégies ferroviaires à l'œuvre dans ces deux pays. Il constitue une synthèse des informations disponibles et une contribution originale au débat sur la grande vitesse en France et en Europe
