The purpose of this study was to describe the presence and quality of active transportation safety features in Canadian school environments that relate to pedestrian and bicycle safety. Variations in these features and associated traffic concerns as perceived by school administrators were examined by geographic status and school type. The study was based on schools that participated in 2009/201...

Search, Migration, and Urban Land Use: The Case of Transportation Policies We develop a search-matching model with rural-urban migration and an explicit land market. Wages, job creation, urban housing prices are endogenous and we characterize the steadystate equilibrium. We then consider three different policies: a transportation policy that improves the public transport system in the city, an ...

The article deals with the actual problem of reducing air pollution by internal combustion engines public transport in urban and suburban traffic through use battery trolleybuses for passenger transportation. A method is proposed calculating capacity batteries autonomous movement trolleybuses, which can be used to calculate required trolleybus on city bus routes partially passing under overhead...

We consider the dynamics between population and spatial distribution networks for the 200 largest urban agglomerations. Population dynamics are considered from 1950 to 2010 and distribution networks are analyzed in terms of vehicular transportation infrastructure. We observe that the growth of large urban agglomerations, in terms of population density, has slowed down in the second half of the ...

in order to improve the level of intelligence, availability, being on demand, convenience, information and humanization of rural public transportation systems, they are more willing to use modern information and communicative technologies. in addition to management services, intelligent transportation systems can provide passengers, drivers, travel agencies and other institutions with other ser...

emobility challenges of the developingworld are considerably different than those inwealthier, advanced countries, and so are the challenges of coordinating transportation and land use. Rapid population growth, poverty and income disparities, overcrowded urban cores, poorly designed road networks, spatial mismatches between housing and jobs, deteriorating environmental conditions, and economic...

The objective of this research is to identify the role of network architecture in influencing individual travel behavior using travel survey data from two urban areas in Florida: Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Various measures of network structure, compiled from existing sources, are used to quantify roadway networks, capture the arrangement and connectivity of nodes and links in the networks and t...
