Book National Transportation Planning

Download or read book National Transportation Planning written by Adib Kanafani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon after starting work on the development of a methodology for national trans portation planning in Venezuela, we realized the importance of an integrated management process for such an effort. We also realized the absence in the literature of specific guidelines on how to manage and conduct a transportation planning effort. The literature on the subject of national transportation planning is predominantly theoretical and technical in nature. To a large extent, the absence of literature on management and broad-based methodological approaches reflects the limited and ad hoc nature of the experience in national transportation planning. This book is an attempt to fill that gap. The main objective of the book is to show one way by which a methodology for national transportation planning can be integrated into a process management framework. It reports on the experience that the authors had in the Venezuelan case, as well as in earlier national planning efforts. The book is not intended as a theoretical discussion of planning. Instead, it adopts a particular theoretical stand and proceeds on that basis to develop a program for applying a specific methodology. The intention is to leave as much of the details and elaborations of that methodology to the user. This is motivated by two considerations. The first is a pragmatic attempt to limit the scope of the book.

Book The Use of Economic and Land Use Models in Transportation Planning

Download or read book The Use of Economic and Land Use Models in Transportation Planning written by United States. Federal Highway Administration. Socio-Economic Studies Division and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the proceedings of a panel discussion of the use of economic and land use models in transportation planning. Participating in the panel discussion were Dr. Charles Floyd of the University of Georgia, Dr. Paul Weiner of the University of Connecticut, David Goettee of the Federal Highway Administration, and Dr. Martin Stein of the Maryland Department of Transportation. The panel discussion was attended by federal, state, and local transportation planners, and by University and other private consultants who were invited to participate in the discussion. Conclusions of the panel discussion were that 1. computerized models are useful tools for analyzing a broad range of transportation impacts; 2. trust in models may be fostered by developing a better understanding of the role of models in decision making and how these models can be used in problem solving; 3. many opportunities exist for cost-effectively adapting existing models to analyze new problems; 4. developing models requires close coordination between the model builder and the planners and decision makers to assure that the model is useful; 5. planners should consider changing patterns of economic activity in other regions to be sure their predictions are consistent with these patterns; and 6. an improved process for disseminating information about existing models is needed.

Book Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High Speed Rail Cities and Regions

Download or read book Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High Speed Rail Cities and Regions written by José Maria de Ureña and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-speed Rail Cities and Regions evaluates the varied experiences that HSR systems have brought about to different station-cities and their regional territories around the world, with an eye towards better future planning and policy of such systems. This edited volume draws from examples of high-speed rail operations in different cities in Europe and Asia to depict the various impacts of this major transportation infrastructure. It attempts to distinguish the short- and long-term impacts described in the literature, classifying them into regional and inter-urban effects, urban effects, and wider economic impacts. Planning challenges appear at two major points: 1) during the initial planning stage that includes the route and location of stations; and 2) during the development process that follows. The case studies in the book concentrate on a variety of topics from the impact of high-speed rail on population growth in some station-cities, to the regional economic impacts that an HSR system can bring about to the larger territories it passes through, to the potential of station-cities to better attract firms, or to experience increases in tourism and commerce. They also assess planning strategies and experiences from station-cities to draw lessons for future HSR planning policies. The Chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of European Planning Studies.
