Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics of cities and urban areas which are associated with rapid transit systems as part of the urban multimodal transportation system. This objective is addressed by studying the characteristics of global cities which have utilized rapid transit (100 cities in 1986) and a global sample of cities which do not have rapid transit (100 cities)--abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to presenting an overview of the economic conditions in the urban public transit industry as a whole, this project incorporated four papers that investigated separately the economic characteristics of the urban bus, rail rapid, commuter rail, and taxicab industries. Also included were three papers in which an econometric model of urban bus transit was developed, regulatory constraints and their implications were reviewed, and external effects of urban transit operations such as air and noise pollution and accident were analyzed. The analyses tended to be rather general, concluding that demand deficiency, especially for bus transit, was the main cause of the economic difficulties of urban transit systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only current and in print book covering the full field of transit systems and technology. Beginning with a history of transit and its role in urban development, the book proceeds to define relevant terms and concepts, and then present detailed coverage of all urban transit modes and the most efficient system designs for each. Including coverage of such integral subjects as travel time, vehicle propulsion, system integration, fully supported with equations and analytical methods, this book is the primary resource for students of transit as well as those professionals who design and operate these key pieces of urban infrastructure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century finds civilization heavily based in cities that have grown into large metropolitan areas. Many of these focal points of human activity face problems of economic inefficiency, environmental deterioration, and an unsatisfactory quality of life—problems that go far in determining whether a city is "livable." A large share of these problems stems from the inefficiencies and other impacts of urban transportation systems. The era of projects aimed at maximizing vehicular travel is being replaced by the broader goal of achieving livable cities: economically efficient, socially sound, and environmentally friendly. This book explores the complex relationship between transportation and the character of cities and metropolitan regions. Vukan Vuchic applies his experience in urban transportation systems and policies to present a systematic review of transportation modes and their characteristics. Transportation for Livable Cities dispels the myths and emotional advocacies for or against freeways, rail transit, bicycles,and other modes of transportation. The author discusses the consequences of excessive automobile dependence and shows that the most livable cities worldwide have intermodal systems that balance highway and public transit modes while providing for pedestrians, bicyclists, and paratransit. Vuchic defines the policies necessary for achieving livable cities: the effective implementation of integrated intermodal transportation systems.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Transit-oriented developments have been embraced by cities across the United States to create dense, walkable, transit-supportive areas. This thesis studies Florida's East Coast (FEC) Corridor to determine which mode of transit, heavy rail or bus rapid transit (BRT), will most likely create successful transit-oriented developments (TOD) in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade County. As in many transit studies in the United States, Florida's Department of Transportation (FDOT) is completing a study to determine if BRT or heavy rail should be the locally preferred alternative for the FEC corridor as part of the alternatives analysis. But due to the lack of research and information about BRT, planners, government officials and citizens are hesitant to use this system, giving it an unfair disadvantage. In this thesis, transit characteristics that are crucial for creating successful TOD and transit systems are identified. The identified transit characteristics are: land use impacts, frequency, air and sound pollution, vibration, flexibility of service, transfers, capacity, level of permanence, and aesthetics. Comparing BRT and heavy rail based on these transit characteristics in conjunction with the current and forecasted population and employment density for the South Florida region, it is found that bus rapid transit is the superior mode. Thus BRT should be implemented to help create successful TODs in South Florida. Furthermore, the BRT system also has the potential to create successful TOD in other regions of the United States, especially in areas that lack high density to support heavy rail.
