ITE JOURNAL / JUNE 2003 ACTIVE COMMUNITIES RESULT from the interaction of many environmental, cultural, political and sociological factors. The design of a transportation system is but one of them. A balanced transportation system—with appropriate levels of investment in bicycle and pedestrian facilities and transit in addition to automobile-oriented facilities—is an indispensable requirement a...

in this paper, we develop a freight transportation model for railway network considering hazmat transportation issue. in the transportation system considered, different customers can request for carrying hazmat and non- hazmat boxes. it is assumed that the sequence of the trains in the network is known. the objective is assigning the non-hazmat boxes and hazmat boxes to wagons of the trains so ...

Transportation of Dangerous Goods represents a sensitive problem due its congenital high potential risk of causing disaster if an accident occurs. Transportation of Dangerous Goods Risk Management systems reduce the possibility of both accidental disasters and terrorist attacks detecting unusual events and blocking possible threats. Cloud computing can facilitate the development of such kinds o...

There are a number of important societal problems that resist conventional, i.e., centralized, solutions. The problems affect the management of our economic systems, climate, energy systems, transportation systems, telecommunication systems, and infrastructure. They are characterized as being distributed and many-faceted, with a large number of interdependent components. For example, the routes...

In project management, iteration can be seen as an undesirable characteristic that increases risk and lengthen the cycle time. However, in design management, iteration is the key feature in designing. Iteration can also be manifest as different types which give particular characteristics to different stages of the design process. However, there are no existing methods that could capture and mod...

The paper presents results of a study about design concept development in transportation design. The main question of this study concerns mainly the existence and development of design concepts and its status in the design process furthermore it partially describes its content, manifestation and function. From the view of industrial psychology, the design concept is one of the most important st...

Smart transportation system is a cross-field research topic that involves both the organizations manage large-scaled and individual end-users who enjoy these services. Recent advancement of machine learning-based algorithms has either enabled or improved wide range applications due to its strength in making accurate predictions for complex problems with minimal amount domain knowledge great abi...

accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. as a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: mit, direct estimation and indirect estimation. these approaches are used as controllers to track refe...

UrbanSim is a new urban simulation model, developed over the past several years, which is now operational in three urban areas in the United States. The model system is designed to address emerging needs to better coordinate transportation and land use planning as a result of recognition of the strong interactions between land use and transportation, increasing pressure from federal transportat...
