Properly functioning markets effi ciently allocate resources. Such markets must refl ect certain principles, including consumer options, cost-based pricing, and economic neutrality. Transportation markets oft en violate these principles. This report examines these distortions and their implications for transport planning. Transportation market distortions include various types of underpricing o...

In response to the threat of climate change, there is a rising tide of “green” ideas and beliefs. However, it is open to question as to whether these pro-environment attitudes actually translate into environmentally-friendly behavior. We develop a set of novel measures of community environmentalism for both the state of California and the nation as a whole based on costly behavior in both polit...

BACKGROUND Global positioning systems (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), and accelerometers are powerful tools to explain activity within a built environment, yet little integration of these tools has taken place. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of combining GPS, GIS, and accelerometry to understand transport-related physical activity (TPA) in adults. METHODS Forty adults...

In a motorized spindle, due to the complexity of the system and nonlinear relationship between features and types of faults, it is difficult and inefficient to use traditional methods or physical models for the fault diagnosis. This paper focuses on the research on applying Radial Basis Function (RBF) Networks for fault detection and classification in the motorized spindle. As a data driven mod...

A sizeable body of literature reveals a strong relationship between mode choice and health status. Therefore, society would benefit from travel if transportation urban planners motivated more individuals to satisfy their desire for by active rather than motorized transportation. Despite rich existing about the relations built environment travel, we still need address some research gaps in expla...

This document, approved by the Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA) Board of Directors in March 2007, shares typical clinical applications and provides evidence from the literature supporting the use of power wheelchairs for children.

An analysis of the operational characteristics transit system serving town Velenje (Slovenia) revealed poor performance and need for improvements. This paper describes potential integration an electric bike-sharing a semi-flexible demand-responsive transport to effectively solve this issue. Additionally, general guidance is provided systems with low travel demand. Appropriate schedules are prop...
