Highway transportation crashes are the leading cause of fatal injuries in the United States for both workers and the general population (1,2). Prevention of work-related highway transportation deaths, and highway transportation deaths in general, are long-standing public health priorities (1,3). To assess trends and help guide the prevention of occupational highway transportation deaths, CDC an...

We are experiencing a shift in thinking about Transportation and Mobility, which makes this Special Issue on Sustainable Transportation and Health in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health especially timely.[...].

The H5N1 influenza threat is resulting in global preparations for the next influenza pandemic. Pandemic influenza planners are prioritizing scarce vaccine, antivirals, and public health support for different segments of society. The freight, bulk goods, and energy transportation network comprise the maritime, rail, air, and trucking industries. It relies on small numbers of specialized workers ...

site selection of dry ports haven't been studied in iran as a academic research or public research, so the main purpose of the resaerch is to list and prioritise all the factors affecting site selection of dry port in iran. these factors are selected according to competetive advantage of seaport performance and considered the needs of customers and actors involved in transportation industr...

Public transportation is undeniably an effective way to move a large number of people in a city. Its ineffectiveness, such as long travel times, poor coverage, and lack of direct services, however, makes it unappealing to many commuters. In this thesis, we address some of the shortcomings and propose solutions for making public transportation more preferable. The first part of this thesis is fo...

There are two kinds of people: those who travel by car, and those who use public transport. The topic of this article is to show that the algorithmic problem of computing the fastest way to get from A to B is also surprisingly different on road networks than on public transportation networks. On road networks, even very large ones like that of the whole of Western Europe, the shortest path from...

This article focus on Cybernetic Transport Systems (CTS) due to their effectiveness for solving mobility problems in cities. A new mobility concept is proposed which allows to attain the same flexibility of the private passenger car but with much less nuisances. It is based on small semiautonomous electric vehicles, which may be used to complement mass public transportation, by providing passen...

Following on from our work concerning travellers’ preferences in public transportation networks (Wu and Hartley, 2004), we introduce the concept of stochasticity to our algorithms. Stochasticity greatly increases the complexity of the route finding problem, so greater algorithmic efficiency becomes imperative. Public transportation networks (buses, trains) have two important features: edges can...

Intelligent Transportation System in case of cities is controlling traffic congestion and regulating the traffic flow. This paper presents three modules that will help in managing city traffic issues and ultimately gives advanced development in transportation system. First moduleCongestion Detection and Management will provide user real time information about congestion on the road towards his ...

Nowadays the public transportation system like the metro are well advanced. Passenger safety, convenience and the need to improve the performance of existing public transportation is driving demand for intelligent transportation system in the market. The paper we introduce, proposes a novel fare estimation technique using Automated Fare Collection (AFC) System and Radio Frequency Identification...
