Download or read book Multimodal Transport Security written by Joseph S. Szyliowicz and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid globalisation has led to the realization that the traditional modal approach to transporting people and goods is insufficient. Multimodal Transport Security illustrates the inevitable shift towards multimodal transportation systems, further enabled by modern technological innovations, and succinctly assesses the demanding and new security challenges that have accompanied this. The emergence of these complex transportation infrastructures has created exceedingly attractive terrorist targets owing to the potential for wide-scale disruption of global supply chains. Providing a conjoint analysis of key issues in both passenger and freight multimodal transportation security, expert contributors provide pivotal case studies highlighting the successes and failures of various policies and practices across several geographical regions. Adeptly drawing these strands together, the editors identify similarities and heterogeneities and in doing so, produce a practical illustration of the potential for further enhancement of multimodal security. An ever-increasing and worldwide concern with the improvement of security in transport places this unique and comprehensive text at the forefront of transportation literature. It will be of great value to students and scholars of public policy as well as policy makers in the fields of transportation and counter-terrorism.

Download or read book Intermodal Freight Transport written by David Lowe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to the whole concept of intermodal freight transport, the means of delivering goods using two or more transport modes, recounting both European experience and UK developments and reporting on the extensive political influences on this form of transport. This is placed into context with reference to developments in North America and Asia. Detailed explanations are given of the road and rail vehicles, the loading units and the transfer equipment used in such operations. In particular, the role of the Channel Tunnel in the development of long-haul combined transport operations between the UK and Europe is considered.

This book was released on 1976 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This conference brought together DOT policymakers, university principal investigators and other professionals to consider the intermodal safety research requirements of the Department of Transportation. The objectives of the conference were: (1) to highlight safety problems and needed transportation safety research identified by DOT modal safety managers and to stimulate university or university/industry teams to respond with research proposals which emphasize multi-modal applicability and a system view; and (2) to provide a forum for university research groups to inform DOT safety managers of promising new directions in transportation safety research and new tools with which to address safety related problems. The conference addressed the research requirements for safety as identified by the Statement of National Transportation Policy and by the modal safety managers in three principal contexts, each a workshop panel: I, Inter-Institutional Problems of Transportation Safety. Problems were described as: Federal-State, local; Federal-Industry; Federal-Public, Consumer groups. II, Goal Setting and Planning for Transportation Safety Programs. Issues were: modifying risk behavior, safety as a social value, and involving citizens in development of standards as a way of increasing probability of achieving program objectives. III, DOT Information, Management, and Evaluation Systems Requirements. Needs were: data requirements and analytic tools for management of safety programs.

Book excerpt: As part of its proposed reauthorization of highway and transit programs, the House has passed H.R. 3550. This bill contains a provision that would require the Secretary of Transportation to establish a program intended to improve the safety of intermodal equipment (trailers and container chassis) used to haul intermodal cargo and reduce conflicts between trucking companies and companies that provide the intermodal equipment. The Senate-passed reauthorization bill (S. 1072) does not contain a similar provision. Current arrangements for the exchange of intermodal equipment have raised three public policy issues. The first issue is the condition of intermodal equipment that travels public highways and the impact of equipment condition on safety. Data collected by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration suggests that trucking companies hauling intermodal equipment receive out-of-service notices at highway safety inspections more frequently than trucking companies in general. Responsibility for equipment maintenance is not clearly defined between the trucking company and the provider of the equipment. The second issue is the regulation of the interchange contract to specify an efficient and fair distribution of repair costs between equipment providers and trucking companies. The third issue is consistency between federal and state safety regulation of intermodal equipment. If enacted, Sec. 4128 of H.R. 3550 would direct the Secretary of Transportation to establish rules to require that intermodal equipment have a unique identification number that links the intermodal chassis or trailer to its provider; that equipment providers maintain a system of maintenance and repair records for intermodal equipment that they control; and that equipment providers that are found to pose an imminent hazard would be prohibited from placing equipment on a public highway. H.R. 3550 also requires that the rules establish civil penalties for intermodal equipment providers that fail to attain satisfactory compliance with applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The provisions in H.R. 3550 would provide DOT with a clear legal and congressionally-specified basis for issuing regulations regarding intermodal equipment, including penalties for equipment providers. Passage of this legislation could have four implications for intermodal transportation. First, implementing regulations could improve compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations depending on the inspection effort and penalties imposed. Second, regulation could raise the focus of equipment providers on maintenance as inspections would occur while intermodal equipment was in the possession of an equipment provider, not just the possession of motor carriers. Third, regulations may shift maintenance costs to equipment providers as they improve their maintenance record keeping and make repairs in response to inspections of equipment in their possession. Finally, Federal regulations could reduce conflict between state regulations, if states are required to enforce the regulations as a condition for receiving funding under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program. H.R. 3550 awaits a conference committee to reconcile differences with S. 1072. This report will be updated as warranted.
