Download or read book Advanced Methods in Transportation Analysis written by Lucio Bianco and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a compendium of papers presented during the second TRlennal Symposium on Transportation ANalysis (TRISTAN II) that took place in Capri, Italy on June 23-28, 1994. The Symposium was organized by the Progetto Finalizzato Trasporti and the Istituto di Analisi dei Sistemi ed Informatica of the Italian National Research Council jointly with the Italian Operations Research Society. The purpose of this kind of meetings is to periodically allow an exchange of views and findings by scientists in the field of transportation analysis methods and tools. Therefore, the papers presented dealt with a wide range of topics and cover the different aspects of transportation analysis. The material contained in this book gives particular emphasis to the development of mathematical modelling and algorithms. This development is due to the evolution of digital computers and the continuous increase of the computing power. In fact the need of solving large scale problems (crew scheduling, network traffic control, pollution monitoring and control,. etc ... ) involves in some case, thousands of variables and therefore sophisticated mathematical models and computational algorithms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are unique complexities associated with the economic valuation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and telematics. Traditional methods of quantitative analysis may not be appropriate in accurately and reliably assessing the economic impacts of these technologies. Although advanced transportation and related technologies are being planned and deployed at an increasingly rapid pace, many of the technologies are still relatively new, and their use may not be widespread. Much of the initial information and statistics gathered have been anecdotal and have focused more on benefits rather than costs. Therefore, difficulties arise due to the lack of historical data and 'lessons learned' from which to draw upon. In addition, compared with traditional transportation infrastructure, ITS technologies have different life cycles, cost structures, and a number of interrelated elements. This book addresses these concerns and proposes new economic assessment techniques as well as modifications to existing ones. Included are case studies from a multitude of North American, European, and Asian nations and major metropolitan areas covering a wide range of ITS technologies including freeway management, electronic toll collection, advanced driver assistance systems, and traveller information systems.

Download or read book Concise Encyclopedia of Traffic and Transportation Systems written by M. Papageorgiou and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1991-06-21 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The vast expansion of transportation systems on land, sea and in the air throughout the twentieth century has allowed for the development of economic, social and political connections across the globe undreamed of by our ancestors. However, this expansion has brought with it familiar problems such as airport delays and gridlock in our major cities. Fortunately, parallel progress in system science and information technology can provide us with the appropriate tools for rational and efficient solutions to our exponentially increasing transportation demands. This encyclopedia addresses the analysis, modelling and control of today's and tomorrow's traffic and transportation systems in a concise, comprehensive single volume. Well over 100 articles have been specially commissioned, or revised from the acclaimed Systems & Control Encyclopedia, to provide an overview of and first reference to models, control methods and practical aspects of all forms of traffic and transportation systems with a particular emphasis on efficient utilization of available infrastructure, plus a consideration of their historical, organizational, economic and social impacts. The Concise Encyclopedia of Traffic & Transportation Systems will be essential for professional and academic scientists and engineers in any discipline concerned with the movement of people and materials."--Book description, Amazon.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the dawn of the twenty-first century comes the awareness that current rapid political-economic-social and technological transformations will affect our of living, by producing new forms of information, communications, common way market, work-style and leisure. In this context, human behaviour will certainly change its 'fixed' parameters. It is likely that the relationships between internal structures and external influences, between individual components and collective behaviour, as well as between multi-scale networks and interrelated dynamics, will show spatio-temporal patterns which will be difficult to predict by means of our usual tools. As a consequence, academic research is increasingly being required to play an active role in addressing new ways of understanding and forecasting the sets of interacting structures, ranging from the technical to the organizational, and from the social to the economic and political levels, while at the same time incorporating concerns about the 'new' economy, environment, society, information and technology. It is now evident that social science - especially spatial and economic scienc- needs innovative 'paths', together with continuous cross-fertilization among the many disciplines involved. In order to investigate these intriguing perspectives, we seem to have embarked on an era of methodological reflections - rather than developing strong theoretical foundations. This volume aims to provide an overview of these new insights and frontiers for theoretical/methodological studies and research applications in the space-economy.

Download or read book Quality Indicators for Transport Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El principal objetivo del proyecto QUITS ha sido la mejora de la toma de decisión en el sector transportes, mediante la comparación de la calidad de las diferentes alternativas modales de los itinerarios interurbanos. Se basa en la idea de que la calidad de un sistema de transporte depende de variables internas (costes directos, tiempo de transporte) y externas (costes medioambientales, sociales y externos). QUITS cubre todos los modos de transporte tanto de viajeros como de mercancías. El libro consta de 5 capítulos. El primero describe los aspectos generales de la medida de la calidad, y define las principales variables a considerar y su valor en el proceso de cuantificación. El capítulo segundo estudia la metodología para la evaluación de la calidad interna de los sistemas de transporte interurbano. Se muestra la importancia del tiempo de transporte y se analizan los costes internos. El capítulo tercero se centra en la evaluación de la calidad externa: externalidades del transporte y su incidencia en la política de precios. Se identifican y analizan los costes externos (contaminación, emisiones, ruido, accidentes, impacto medioambiental...) mediante el uso de nuevos modelos, y se cuantifican los costes externos en términos monetarios. El capítulo cuarto se dedica a la presentación de los resultados obtenidos de la aplicación de la metodología QUITS a tres itinerarios interurbanos europeos: Milán-Frankfurt, Londres-Lille y Munich-Patras. Se miden todos los indicadores físicos y monetarios para cada uno de esos corredores y para todos los modos de transporte disponibles en ellos, de forma que se pueda valorar cada una de las alternativas. Se publican los resultados obtenidos en una serie de tablas y gráficos, mostrando que los costes externos del transporte de mercancías por carretera son nueve veces mayores que los del transporte ferroviario (11 veces para las mercancías) y aproximadamente el doble que los del transporte aéreo. Finalmente, el capítulo cinco ofrece las principales conclusiones y recomendaciones.
