First published in 1994 in the NASA Monograph in Aerospace History
series. From the introduction: "On 25 May 1961 President John F.
Kennedy announced to the nation a goal of sending an American
safely to the Moon before the end of the decade. This decision
involved much study and review prior to making it public, and
tremendous expenditure and effort to make it a reality by 1969.
Only the building of the Panama Canal rivaled the Apollo program's
size as the largest non- military technological endeavor ever
undertaken by the United States; only the Manhattan Project was
comparable in a wartime setting. The human spaceflight imperative
was a direct outgrowth of it; Projects Mercury (at least in its
latter stages), Gemini, and Apollo were each designed to execute
it. It was finally successfully accomplished on 20 July 1969, when
Apollo 11's astronaut Neil Armstrong left the Lunar Module and set
foot on the surface of the Moon." Illustrated.

The 17 chapters in this book, which evolved from a conference on
measuring the contributions of ITS sponsored by the California
Department of Transportation in February 2002, examine the costs
and benefits of ITS in an economic and business policy context.
Section 1 examines the broad theme of how and what ITS contributes
to the economy and how one makes a business case for ITS. Section 2
includes three chapters on ITS applications in mass transit.
Section 3 explores ITS applications in the automobile/highway
system. Section 4 considers integrative issues including how ITS is
perceived and how it can be positioned to improve surface
transportation.
This volume will be especially useful to researchers and policy
makers working in transportation, transportation engineering, and
the economic analysis of transportation systems.

This study argues that U.S. shipping policy should be examined in
the light of U.S. foreign economic policy. It concentrates on
assistance of ship construction, operation subsidies, coargo
preferences, cabotage restrictions, and control of competition.

From case studies of eleven highway systems in underdeveloped
countries, the authors suggest a theory of transport investment and

Full color, richly illustrated book. The purpose of HDS 7,
Hydraulic Design of Safe Bridges, is to provide technical
information and guidance on the hydraulic design of bridges. HDS 7
replaces the HDS 1 manual "Hydraulics of Bridge Waterways" (FHWA
1978) for guidance of bridge hydraulic analyses. Bridges should be
designed as safely as possible while optimizing costs and limiting
impacts to property and the environment. Many significant aspects
of bridge hydraulic design are discussed. These include regulatory
topics, specific approaches for bridge hydraulic modeling,
hydraulic model selection, bridge design impacts on scour and
stream instability, and sediment transport.
With the recent advancements and implementations of technology
within the global community, various regions of the world have
begun to transform. The idea of smart transportation and mobility
is a specific field that has been implemented among countless areas
around the world that are focused on intelligent and efficient
environments. Despite its strong influence and potential,
sustainable mobility still faces multiple demographic and
environmental challenges. New perspectives, improvements, and
solutions are needed in order to successfully apply efficient and
sustainable transportation within populated environments.
Implications of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in Urban and Rural
Environments: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a pivotal
reference source that provides vital research on recent
transportation improvements and the development of mobility systems
in populated regions. While highlighting topics such as
human-machine interaction, alternative vehicles, and sustainable
development, this publication explores competitive solutions for
transport efficiency as well as its impact on citizens' quality of
life. This book is ideally designed for researchers,
environmentalists, civil engineers, architects, policymakers,
strategists, academicians, and students seeking current research on
mobility advancements in urban and rural areas across the globe.
