Public Transport in Developing Countries
ISBN: 9780080445588 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Numerous books have been written which deal with transport problems in developed and developing countries, and with the planning and management of transport organisations in developed countries, but none deals specifically with the planning, regulation, management and control of public transport in developing countries. This book meets that need. It examines and explains the problems and characteristics of public transport systems in developing countries, and discusses the alternative modes, management methods, and forms of ownership, control, regulation and funding, with particular emphasis...

Competition and Ownership in Land Passenger Transport: Selected Papers from the 8th International Conference (Thredbo 8), Rio De Janeiro, September 2003
ISBN: 9780080445809 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 796 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1989 the late Prof Michael Beesley and Prof David Hensher convened a workshop of an invitational group of academics, transport operators and government regulators to review and report on the recent reforms in the British bus sector. The workshop was held in Thredbo, Australia. At the time this was a once off activity. Its success was such that it spawned a series of biannual conferences (now known as the Thredbo series) held in Finland (1991), Canada (1993), New Zealand (1995), England (1997), South Africa (1999), Norway (2001), Brasil (2003) and Portugal (2005). The conference series...

Progress in Activity-Based Analysis
ISBN: 9780080445816 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In recent years, transportation research has seen a gradual shift from trip-based, via tour-based to activity-based models, in an effort to capture the true complexity of travel behaviour. This volume reflects an eventful decade of development and application of activity-based models. In three extensive sections, it: reviews a range of approaches to incorporating increased complexity in models; discusses how to obtain the rich data necessary to support complex models; and reports on real applications in action. It is an essential reading for any researcher or practitioner wishing to keep...

Integrated Land-Use and Transportation Models: Behavioural Foundations
ISBN: 9780080446691 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Tools are developing rapidly to aid public agencies and consultants with the management of land-use and transportation. Ever more powerful computers promise new generations of simulation models that allow novel investment strategies and public policies to be "tried on for size" before they are introduced. But for these models to reach their full potential, they must represent human behaviour in a realistic way. This book examines the behavioural foundations, often simplistic, that have limited land-use and transportation models in the past, and recommends alternative assumptions, frameworks...

Access to Destinations
ISBN: 9780080446783 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Much of land use and transportation planning today aims to reduce traffic congestion. However, the barometers typically used to measure congestion provide only a snapshot of a select dimension of a city's transportation system and fail to accurately reflect how easy it is to reach destinations. Comprehensive and policy relevant measures useful to land-use and transportation planning need to capture both land use and travel dimensions. This book focuses on the science and policy around the multi-modal concept of accessibility. If the goal is to create physical environments that are accessible,...

Building Blocks for Sustainable Transport: Obstacles, Trends, Solutions
ISBN: 9780080447094 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book argues that the issues surrounding sustainable transport constitute a new - post-modern - phase in transport policy and management. Achieving sustainable transport requires more than 'optimal' management of congestion and the effects on public health and the environment. Assessments of external effects, and their optimal levels, tend to be piecemeal, localized, and focused on a specific type of effect. Sustainability, on the other hand, is a comprehensive, forward-looking concept that encompasses the achievement of a state of society that is better overall; it requires a widened...

There are many challenges and problems relating to increasing levels of traffic congestion, negative environmental impacts and energy consumption. To cope with these complicated problems, new city logistics schemes are required that are aimed at increasing the efficiency of urban freight transport systems as well as reducing traffic congestion and impacts on the environment. Recent developments in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) help tackle these difficult problems....

Transport Policy and Funding
ISBN: 9780080448527 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Many countries around the world are making large investments in transportation improvements, but even greater investments are still needed. Funding is the key to promoting convenient and attractive transportation systems. Various types of financial resources are currently being used and a variety of new funding systems are being introduced. Transport policies and funding systems are at a point of significant divergence. A detailed comparison of their conceptual basis is extremely interesting and valuable in determining the best direction for future transportation improvements. "Transport...

Beyond Limits?: Dealing with Chemical Risks at Work in Europe
ISBN: 9780080448589 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nearly one third of all occupational diseases recognised annually in the EU are related to exposure to chemical substances and it is widely accepted that this represents only a small fraction of the full extent of harm caused by occupational exposure to hazardous substances. The European chemical industry is the largest in the world but it is by no means the only source of occupational exposure to chemical hazards, because chemical products are both used and are bi-products in many diverse forms of work. This book is a study of strategic approaches to managing the risks of working with...

Alternative Food Geographies: Representation and Practice
ISBN: 9780080450186 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Since the late 1990s, agro-food researchers have identified attempts to re-configure food provision around more ethically sound, economically and ecologically sustainable relationships between food producers, processors and consumers. Largely in the context of developed market economies, notions of relocalization and the quality turn have figured prominently in discussions about these alternative food geographies. Emerging empirical research, however, is now challenging some of the assumptions embedded within such discussions. This book critically reflects on the great diversity of debates...

Transport Economic Theory
ISBN: 9780080450285 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The study of transport is the study of movements, of displacements of individuals and things in both space and time. The objective of this book is to provide the basic concepts and tools for the economic analysis of transport systems, with emphasis on the behaviour of users and operators. Distinctive features will be introduced and treated as the natural consequence of processes that deal with displacements in space-time. Emphasis will be given to the operation of transportation systems, i.e. to the actual form of combining vehicles, terminals and rights-of-way in order to produce certain...
