Download or read book Telecommunications Transportation and Location written by Kenneth John Button and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the economics of the evolving interface between the movement of people, goods and information (telecommunications). It illustrates the increasing importance of information flows in relation to how people move about, the ways that goods are transported and on land-use patterns. The authors show how the linkages involved are not static but vary as technology develops, as social priorities shift, and as policymakers adjust institutional structures. The situation is evolving but, nevertheless, from a public policy and a narrower commercial, business perspective, it is important to gain broad insights into what is occurring and the ways that telecommunications, transportation, and location interact. This is the focus of the book. Telecommunications, Transportation and Location contains both synthesis and interpretations of what others have found in regard to these interactions as well as new work that extends earlier findings. The material is presented in a rigorous yet accessible manner to open it to a wide audience of practitioners concerned with policymaking within various levels of government and within private business. Researchers and academics teaching courses including transportation planning, communications, regional science, urban and regional planning, urban and regional economics and transport economics will find much to engage them within this book. It will also be very useful to logistics professionals, and policymakers and practitioners involved in transportation planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It begins with the first formal case study, in 1973-74, of the idea of moving the work to the workers instead of moving the workers to work. The results are reviewed from several angles, including: management impacts; productivity; costs and benefits; energy conservation implications; and public policy issues.

This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One aspect of the new economy is a transition to a networked society, and the emergence of a highly interconnected, interdependent and complex system of networks to move people, goods and information. An example of this is the in creasing reliance of networked systems (e. g. , air transportation networks, electric power grid, maritime transport, etc. ) on telecommunications and information in frastructure. Many of the networks that evolved today have an added complexity in that they have both a spatial structure – i. e. , they are located in physical space but also an a spatial dimension brought on largely by their dependence on infor mation technology. They are also often just one component of a larger system of geographically integrated and overlapping networks operating at different spatial levels. An understanding of these complexities is imperative for the design of plans and policies that can be used to optimize the efficiency, performance and safety of transportation, telecommunications and other networked systems. In one sense, technological advances along with economic forces that encourage the clustering of activities in space to reduce transaction costs have led to more efficient network structures. At the same time the very properties that make these networks more ef ficient have also put them at a greater risk for becoming disconnected or signifi cantly disruptedwh en super connected nodes are removed either intentionally or through a targeted attack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to administrators, operating personnel, and others interested in the management and operation of telecommunications systems in transportation agencies. Information is provided on the fundamentals of telecommunications, types of systems available, current uses in state DOTs, and implementation procedures and alternatives. Most departments of transportation have telephone and radio systems in use for communications with their own personnel and with the public. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes those systems as well as other telecommunications options that are in use by transportation agencies or are available for their use.
