Road freight transportation between provinces of a country has an important effect on the traffic flow of intercity transportation networks. Therefore, an accurate estimation of the road freight transportation for provinces of a country is so crucial to improve the rural traffic operation in a largescale management. Accordingly, the focused case study database in this research is the informatio...

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...

The Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) projects a vision of 4000 centerline miles of new roadways and railways, intended to provide a faster, safer and more reliable means of transport for people and freight, while fostering economic growth of Texas’s rural regions. This work enhances and then applies a Random-Utility-Based Multiregional Input-Output (RUBMRIO) model to assess project impacts on trade, ...
