Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to officials of municipal, regional, and statewide transportation agencies who are responsible for the management of surface transportation systems in metropolitan areas. It presents information on the processes used by transportation agencies to monitor, evaluate, and implement a variety of solutions to the management of surface transportation systems. This is a complex and dynamic area of application, and the examples presented herein represent a selection of such applications in 1997. The concept of transportation system management is constantly changing and will continue to change, especially with further implementation of intelligent transportation systems. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides an overview of the generalized process that transportation agencies have found to be effective in managing the various aspects of their transportation systems. Specific case examples of effective management strategies are described for several metropolitan areas including Houston, Seattle, metropolitan New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Book excerpt: Congress created the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission to examine "future surface transportation system needs, expected demographic and economic changes that will shape traffic demand, the future of the Interstate System, and the potential for expansion, upgrades, and other changes to the surface transportation system to meet the nation's needs." The Commission was directed to consult with representatives of State departments of transportation. This report is the first of six that AASHTO plans to provide to assist the Commission. It contains a comprehensive assessment of transportation needs today and in the future, and the demographic and economic changes that will shape that future.

This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether by road, rail, water, or pipeline, the U.S. surface transportation system maintains a flow of people and goods that is open, reliable, accessible, and convenient. The system's very openness, however, makes security a particular challenge. Recent incidents such as the deadly terrorist nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995 demonstrates how important it is for transportation authorities to get ahead of the threat.This book explores how research and development can contribute to greater security for U.S. surface transportation. Experts from law enforcement, technology firms, transportation agencies, and academe take a strategic approach to securing surface transportation against attackers with varied agendas and evolving technical capabilities.The committee focuses on how to establish a strategy for planning and implementing appropriate research. The book discusses the key steps of defining security problems, identifying R&D alternatives, and selecting and implementing appropriate research initiatives. Example R&D topics are used to illustrate the strategic approach and its application to physical, biological, chemical, and cyber threats.

This book was released on 1999-10-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface transportation system is vital to our nation's economy, defense, and quality of life. Because threats against the system have hitherto been perceived as minor, little attention has been paid to its security. But the world is changing, as highlighted by dramatic incidents such as the terrorist chemical attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995. As a consequence, security concerns are now attracting more attentionâ€"appropriately so, for the threat is real, and responding to it is hard. Although the surface transportation system is remarkably resilient, it is also open and decentralized, making a security response challenging. Research and development can contribute to that response in important ways. Some important themes emerge from analysis of this strategy. First, a dual-use approach, in which security objectives are furthered at the same time as other transportation goals, can encourage the implementation of security technologies and processes. Second, modeling could be used more to develop a better understanding of the scope of the security problem. Third, DOT can play an important role in developing and disseminating information about best practices that use existing technologies and processes, including low-technology alternatives. Finally, security should be considered as part of a broader picture, not a wholly new and different problem but one that is similar and closely connected to the transportation community's previous experience in responding to accidents, natural disasters, and hazardous materials.
