Schwerpunkt des Buches bildet die Auseinandersetzung mit den sich wechselseitig beeinflussenden Aspekten von Mobilitat, Verkehr und Raumnutzung. Neben einer Beschaftigung mit den fur das Mobilitatsverhalten bzw. Verkehr grundlegenden menschlichen Bedurfnissen wird vor allem auch auf die speziellen topografischen Gegebenheiten in Gebirgsraumen eingegangen. Diese regionalspezifischen Aspekte erfordern zusammen mit sich standig andernden globalen Rahmenbedingungen eine uber die traditionellen Modelle der Verkehrs- und Regionalwissenschaft hinausgehende interdisziplinare Sichtweise. Der in diesem Buch beschriebene Modellansatz stellt eine generelle Grundlage zur Entwicklung und auch Evaluierung zukunftsfahiger Planungsstrategien dar.

Philip Kruger liefert einen UEberblick zur Architektur Intelligenter Verkehrssysteme (IVS) und vermittelt wichtige Grundlagen und Entwicklungstrends im Themenfeld. Der Autor beschreibt den Fortschritt in Deutschland zur Erarbeitung einer umfassenden und intermodalen IVS-Architektur und bewertet diesen genauer. Fur die koordinierte und harmonisierte Weiterentwicklung von IVS werden Rahmenbedingungen benoetigt, wie sie in einer nationalen IVS-Architektur beschrieben sind. Dabei darf eine nationale IVS-Architektur nicht als Hemmnis fur Innovationen verstanden werden, sondern vielmehr als Basis jeder systematischen Weiter- und Neuentwicklung von IVS.

Dieses Essential behandelt das spezielle Problem der Modellierung der betrieblichen Inanspruchnahme der Infrastruktur durch Zugfahrten als Voraussetzung fur die Ermittlung konfliktfreier Fahrplantrassen in der rechnergestutzten Fahrplankonstruktion. Die in den heute am Markt befindlichen Softwareloesungen realisierten Methoden, namlich das Sperrzeitmodell und die vereinfachte Betrachtung fahrplantechnischer Zugfolgeabschnitte, werden ausfuhrlich erlautert und mit ihren Vor- und Nachteilen gegenubergestellt. Diskutiert werden auch alternative Ansatze und moegliche Weiterentwicklungen.

Featuring more than 75 3D scale drawings and explaining their individual strengths and weaknesses, this book is the only comprehensive reference for car park layout design. The book also covers the practical design of parking elements including ramps, stalls, and traffic aisles, and provides guidance on key issues including security, fire escape requirements, drainage, signage and barrier control. The new edition includes: - Issues surrounding provision for charging hybrid and electrically powered vehicles - a topic as yet poorly addressed in the literature. - Optimum entry and exit locations that affect layout. - 50% more drawings - including scale drawings that can be used as templates in the layout design process.

Tiny Transit is safe, low speed, low cost, low stress, low emission, climate-conscious mobility for this generation and those to come. Within Tiny Transit, Susan Engelking, founder of Tiny Transit Strategies, describes an innovative, proven solution: protected networks for small, low speed, low cost, low emission vehicles. For cities, this concept is a game changer. For the nation, this new transportation alternative is a step toward economic resilience, reduced carbon emissions, and energy independence. In Tiny Transit, government employees learn: Why LEAN Networks (Low Emission Alternative Networks) are the future Lessons from early adopters How to build LEAN Lanes with the crumbs of major transportation projects Why the prime directive is "safety, safety, safety" How to introduce this game changer to their member cities - and the quickest way to build a groundswell of popular support

We are at the beginning of the next major disruptive cycle caused by computing. In transportation, the term Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES) has been coined to represent the enormous innovations enabled by underlying electronics technology. The benefits of ACES vehicles range from improved safety, reduced congestion, and lower stress for car occupants to social inclusion, lower emissions, and better road utilization due to optimal integration of private and public transport. ACES is creating a new automotive and industrial ecosystem that will disrupt not only the technical development of transportation but also the management and supply chain of the industry. Disruptions caused by ACES are prompted by not only technology but also by a shift from a traditional to a software-based mindset, embodied by the arrival of a new generation of automotive industry workforce. In Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Vehicles: Disrupting the Automotive and Mobility Sectors, Umar Zakir Abdul Hamid provides an overview of ACES technology for cross-disciplinary audiences, including researchers, academics, and automotive professionals. Hamid bridges the gap among the book's varied audiences, exploring the development and deployment of ACES vehicles and the disruptions, challenges, and potential benefits of this new technology. Topics covered include: Recent trends and progress stimulating ACES growth and development; ACES vehicle overview; Automotive and mobility industry disruptions caused by ACES; Challenges of ACES implementation; Potential benefits of the ACES ecosystem While market introduction of ACES vehicles that are fully automated and capable of unsupervised driving in an unstructured environment is still a long-term goal, the future of mobility will be ACES, and the transportation industry must prepare for this transition. Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Vehicles is a necessary resource for anyone interested in the successful and reliable implementation of ACES." ACES are destined to be a game changers on the roads, altering the face of mobility." Daniel Watzenig, Professor Graz University of Technology, Austria
