Download or read book Sustainable Transport Mobility Management and Travel Plans written by Marcus Enoch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charting the development of the travel plan as a concept, this book draws on a range of research-based contributions to determine the state-of-the-art and to explore a series of future scenarios in this area for practitioners and policy makers. Site-based mobility management or 'travel plans' address the transport problem by engaging with those organisations such as employers that are directly responsible for generating the demand for travel, and hence have the potential to have a major impact on transport policy. To do this effectively however, travel plans need to be reoriented to be made more relevant to the needs of these organisations, whilst the policy framework in which they operate needs modifying to better support their diffusion and enhance their effectiveness. Marcus Enoch breaks down the travel plan concept into four axes related to its development (namely segment, scale, structure and support), and investigates the following questions: - What makes them special? - Why are they introduced? - What do they look like in terms of their design and the measures they use? - How common are they and in what sectors and location types? - How effective are they? - What barriers do they face and how might these be overcome?

Book excerpt: In New Mobilities: Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies, transportation expert Todd Litman examines 12 emerging transportation modes and services that are likely to significantly affect our lives: bike- and carsharing, micro-mobilities, ridehailing and micro-transit, public transit innovations, telework, autonomous and electric vehicles, air taxis, mobility prioritization, and logistics management. Public policies around New Mobilities can either help create heaven, a well-planned transportation system that uses new technologies intelligently, or hell, a poorly planned transportation system that is overwhelmed by conflicting and costly, unhealthy, and inequitable modes. His expert analysis will help planners, local policymakers, and concerned citizens to make informed choices about the New Mobility revolution.

Download or read book Mobility Management in Wireless Networks written by Karen Q. Tian and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In wireless communication systems, the network keeps track of a user’s location through an up-to-date user profile stored in various databases. A user profile contains not only a user’s current location information, but also service information, such as billing and authentication. The cov- age area of an access network is divided into registration areas (RAs), and each RA is associated with a location database. The two basic op- ations in mobility management are location update and location lookup. When a user moves across the boundaries of these RAs, the network updates his location information in the pertinent databases. When a caller places a call using the callee’s identification, the network queries the relevant database(s) to obtain the current location and other service information of the callee. The performance of mobility management can be further enhanced by using replicas of user profiles which may be kept at various locations. Replication techniques make profile information more readily available, thus reducing lookup cost and latency, but to keep these replicas c- sistent and fresh, they must be updated whenever the user profile is updated. The principle of replication is to replicate if the benefit of replication is greater than its overhead. The difficulty, however, lies in accurately measuring the benefit and overhead.
Download or read book Gender and Natural Resource Management written by Bernadette P. Resurreccion and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the gender dimensions of natural resource exploitation and management, with a focus on Asia. It explores the uneasy negotiations between theory, policy and practice that are often evident within the realm of gender, environment and natural resource management, especially where gender is understood as a political, negotiated and contested element of social relationships. It offers a critical feminist perspective on gender relations and natural resource management in the context of contemporary policy concerns: decentralized governance, the elimination of poverty and themainstreaming of gender. Through a combination of strong conceptual argument and empirical material from a variety of political economic and ecological contexts (including Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam), the book examines gender-environment linkages within shifting configurations of resource access and control. The book will serve as a core resource for students of gender studies and natural resource management, and as supplementary reading for a wide range of disciplines including geography, environmental studies, sociology and development. It also provides a stimulating collection of ideas for professionals looking to incorporate gender issues within their practice in sustainable development. Published with IDRC.
Download or read book Enterprise Mobility Management written by Jack Madden and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years, more and more employees have been demanding to do work from iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. Back in days of BlackBerry, dealing with mobility was easy. However, these new devices aren't so easy to manage, and the tasks that employees are doing are far more advanced. In addition, now we also have to grapple with the trend of BYOD--personal devices in the workplace. The enterprise mobility management (EMM) industry has responded with technologies like mobile device management (MDM), mobile app management (MAM), mobile virtualization, app wrapping, "containerization," and mobile file syncing. Al this technology is new, and it's evolving rapidly. The stakes are high: Thanks to the consumerization of IT, if enterprise IT doesn't figure mobility, user will bring in their own phones and tablets and do whatever they want. "Enterprise Mobility Management: Everything you need to know about MDM, MAM, and BYOD" is your guide to figuring out how it all works. In this book, readers will learn: How MDM really works, what it does well, and what its limitations are; Why IT's mindset has to evolve from locking down devices and networks to making data and applications accessible in a safe way; Why the real challenge isn't personal devices, but mixing work and personal apps and data on a single device, regardless of whether they're personally-owned or corporate-deployed; How mobile app management work, and why, despite challenges, it may be the best approach for keeping corporate data secure; And how future developments could affect approaches to enterprise mobility management. This book is for people who have been tasked with "figuring out BYOD. " It's for companies that for years have dealt with only BlackBerry and BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) and want to know what's next. It's for desktop admins and architects who are now tasked with delivering applications and data to new platforms. It's for the mobile managers who were happy with BES for the past 10 years and now have to deal with users bringing in iPhones.
