This book was released on 2013 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reliability of transport, especially the ability to reach a destination within a certain amount of time, is a regular concern of travelers and shippers. The definition of reliability used in this research is how travel time varies over time. The variability can apply to the travel times observed over a road segment during a specific time slice (e.g., 3 to 6 p.m.) over a fairly long period of time, say a year. The variability can also pertain to the travel times of repeated trips made by a person or a truck between a given origin and destination. Agencies are increasingly aware of the issue of reliability, although the transportation industry as a whole as yet lacks a firm understanding of the causes and solutions to failures of reliability. As the agenda for the SHRP 2 research on travel time reliability took shape, it became clear a fundamental study was required to be able to talk about travel time reliability in a meaningful way"--Foreword.
Download or read book Access Management Manual written by Kristine Williams and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since the publication of the first edition of the Access Management Manual, the context for transportation planning and roadway design in the United States has been transformed. Transportation agencies and local governments are under growing pressure to integrate land use and transportation policy and achieve a more sustainable, energy-efficient transportation system. This second edition of the manual responds to these developments by addressing access management comprehensively, as a critical part of network and land use planning. The content is interdisciplinary, with guidance pertinent to various levels of government as well as to pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorized vehicles, including trucks and buses, and is strongly grounded in decades of research, engineering science, and professional experience. Greater emphasis is placed on appropriate location of access, and guidance is refined to provide appropriate consideration of context and community issues. Substantial updates aid state and local agencies in managing access to corridor development effectively. Specific guidance on network and circulation planning and modal considerations is included, as well as guidance on effective site access and circulation design. A chapter on corridor management reinforces these concepts with a framework for application of access management in different contexts, along with appropriate strategies for each context. There are also new chapters on network planning, regional access management policies and programs, interchange area access management, auxiliary lane warrants and design, and right-of-way and access control. The manual concludes with an extensive menu of access management techniques and information on their application"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book The Transferability of Safety driven Access Management Models for Application to Other Sites written by John Sanders Miller and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several research studies have produced mathematical models that predict the safety impacts of selected access management techniques. Since new models require substantial resources to construct, this study evaluated five existing models with regard to their applicability to locations other than the one for which they were designed. The predictive power of the models was assessed using three sites in Virginia. The study also considered the practical aspects of applying the models in Virginia to estimate the likelihood that necessary data are available, the number of computations required to apply the models, the simplicity of the rationale underlying the models, and the sensitivity of the models to inputs. The applicability of the models was wide ranging. Without site-specific adjustments, the average percent error of the models ranged from 34 to a few hundred percent. With simple site-specific adjustments, the error ranged from 27 to 29 percent. Because some of the models were developed for a specific site or were intended to be used only with site-specific adjustments, these error percentages indicate only the extent to which the models are transferable with respect to estimating crashes, not the performance of the models themselves. The wide variation in applicability was due to discrepancies in data definitions, the availability of data, the structure of the model, and the assumptions used. Recommendations were developed for using the models in practice and for understanding their limitations. Two principal conclusions were as follows: (1) existing models (with minor adjustments for some) can predict crashes as a function of access within 34 percent of the actual number, and (2) some of the models are simple enough to be used in practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Careful management of access points along crossroads in the vicinity of interchanges can help enhance operational and safety performance at these complex, transportation facilities. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 977: Access Management in the Vicinity of Interchanges, Volume 1: Practitioner's Guide provides an overview of common interchange configurations and the known impacts of access management on crossroads at these locations. Supplemental to the report is NCHRP Research Report 977: Access Management in the Vicinity of Interchanges, Volume 2: Research Overview; a suite of PowerPoint slides on the Importance of Access Management, Influential Factors, Assessment Methods, a Case Study Example, and Management Methods; and the Access Management Interchange Decision Tool, which is a spreadsheet for estimating expected corridor speeds as they relate to driveway spacing guidelines.
Download or read book A Guidebook for Including Access Management in Transportation Planning written by David C. Rose and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2005 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook is for transportation agency managers, engineers, and planners who want their agencies to use the planning process to implement a systematic and consistent approach to access management. For employees who are dealing with the consequences of poor access management at the project and operational levels, the guidance provides a resource that outlines the specific steps their agencies can take to establish a policy and planning basis for implementing access management best practices. This guidance focuses on how to use the planning process to establish the implementing mechanisms that will result in the application of access management principles.
Download or read book Peak Oil Economic Growth and Wildlife Conservation written by J. Edward Gates and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposed book focuses on one of the most important issues affecting humankind in this century - Peak Oil or the declining availability of abundant, cheap energy—and its effects on our industrialized economy and wildlife conservation. Energy will be one of the defining issues of the 21st Century directly affecting wildlife conservation wherever energy extraction is a primary economic activity and indirectly through deepening economic recessions. Since cheap, abundant energy has been at the core of our industrial society, and has resulted in the technological advancements we enjoy today, the peak in world oil extraction would potentially have major impacts on civilization unless we prepare well in advance. One potential economic solution covered in the book would be a Steady State Economy with a stable population and per capita consumption, particularly in such industrialized countries as the United States. Furthermore, the lack of cheap, abundant energy directly and indirectly affects conservation efforts by professional societies and federal and state agencies, and NGOs concerned with wildlife issues. We need to recognize these potential problems and prepare, as much as possible, for the consequences stemming from them.
