The rationality of transport as a distributive instrument of people and opportunities is recently discussed in transportation planning field. The measures of spatial inequalities could inform about transport provision and land use, featuring the opportunities to be accessed by specific groups. To meet the challenge of applying complementary methodological approaches to integrate information, th...

EU regulations require that public transportation systems are accessible for everyone without any restrictions for People with Reduced Mobility. This does not only refer to disabled people, but also other groups of people with reduced mobility such as elderly people, passengers with baby prams, outsize and large luggage items etc. i.e. all people with some kind of reduced mobility, in order to ...

objectives: civil rights may cover different aspects of citizens’ lives. all the members of the society should have equal access to the public facilities and public transportation system. barriers and obstacles in society may limit the accessibility of these facilities to the disabled people. methods: this article contains a part of the results in a phenomenological study of the disability righ...

type of traffic management system, IntelliDrive is quickly gaining popularity and is increasingly being deployed. Because IntelliDrive enables frequent vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, the availability of traffic data is expected to explode in coming years. Hence, data-driven or data-based research shall expand and play an increasingly important role, too. Rich d...

In most of the developing countries, lack of resources and little market accessibility are among the major factors that affect small farming household food security. This study aims to investigate the status of small farming households' food security, and its determinants including the role of market accessibility factors in enhancing food security at household level. In addition, this study al...

Abstract Tracking of shipments is an important element of customer service in the transportation industry; and essential for logistics services as merge-in-transit. However, contemporary tracking systems are designed for use within a single company, and are thus invariably inadequate for multi-company environments. The single company focus has led to a reduced span of monitoring and a diluted a...

The Median-Path problem consists of locating a path on a network, minimizing a function of two parameters: accessibility to the path and total cost of the path. Applications of this problem can be found in transportation planning, water resource management and fluid transportation. The Central-Path problem is defined similarly. In this paper, we give a construction on a graph G which produces a...

Cellular automata (CA) models are used for simulating land use change for more than two decades. These models have a simple structure based on a cellular partition of space, considering a finite set of cell states (or land uses) and their interaction within a given neighborhood area, changing throughout time under a set of transition rules. Transition rules are based on more or less sophisticat...
