This book brings together frontier research in transportation and travel behaviour on the formulation and estimation of models of bounded rationality to analyse and predict various facets underlying daily activity-travel behaviour. Key behavioural principles and mechanisms relate to simplifying decision complexity by ignoring particular attributes, developing context and task-dependent mental representations, deriving decision heuristics, adding emotional aspects to cognitive assessments of choice options, regret-minimization, semi-compensatory decision rules based on mental effort and risk perception, learning and adaptation, satisfying decision rules and prospect theoretic approaches. The book is important reading for transportation researchers and professionals who are interested in the latest developments in transport demand forecasting. It offers historical reviews of the development of models of bounded rationality in this field of research, and a variety of new concepts and modelling approaches that should be inspirational to both new and experienced researchers in this field of research and application.

Die Schweiz verfügt über eines der dichtesten Eisenbahnnetze der Welt. Dies ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit: Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden in fast allen Industrieländern zahlreiche Eisenbahnstrecken stillgelegt. Der motorisierte Individualverkehr triumphierte über das Massenverkehrsmittel aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Dennoch blieben bei den Schweizer Eisenbahnen Streckenschliessungen grösseren Stils aus. Das Buch untersucht die Antwort der Schweizerischen Politik auf die vermeintliche Agonie der Eisenbahnen vom Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs bis in die frühen 1980er-Jahre. Die Basis hierzu bildet eine quantitative Analyse der Schweizerischen Eisenbahnwirtschaft, gefolgt von der Darstellung eines umstrittenen Stilllegungsfalles mit Signalwirkung für die gesamtschweizerische Gesetzgebung. Der Politikvollzug, der von der Abkehr von reinen Wirtschaftlichkeitskriterien bei der Eisenbahnsubventionierung und der opportunistischen Ausdehnung der Staatshilfen auf einen grösseren Empfängerkreis geprägt war, bildet einen weiteren Schwerpunkt. Die Darstellung wird durch die Analyse der Triebkräfte hinter dem Wandel der Schweizerischen Bundesbahnen vom gemeinwirtschaftlichen Verwaltungsunternehmen zum ökologischen Massenverkehrsmittel mit einer ausgeprägten Management-Kultur vervollständigt.

The ever-escalating cost of building or buying a hot rod is leaving more and more would-be hot rodders behind. This book will get those hopefuls off the sidelines by showing how a hot rod can be built for less than the cost of, say, a new Hyundai.

The advice and instructions cover every aspect of an affordable hot rod build, from establishing the target vehicle and budget, to finding parts, building the car, and fine tuning the finished vehicle on the road.

With Parks' money-saving tips and photo-supported how-to sequences, virtually anyone with minimal mechanical skills and the will to use them can be sure of building their hot rod right, and for the right price. The book also includes a full resource guide and recommendations for further reading.

Two pioneer balloonists, Tom Gatch in 1974 and Larry Newman in the early 1990s, led widely reported stratospheric expeditions that nearly earned them a place in aviation history. They both used pressurized balloons, a dangerous and sophisticated type of aircraft, and sought the swift wind of the jet stream to carry them forward.

In the first story, a determined, self-financed and self-reliant Tom Gatch in his Light Heart tries to become the first man to conquer the Atlantic Ocean alone by balloon. Ascending under a 10-balloon cluster, he makes it halfway across before disappearing, and the Department of Defense mounts a massive but futile mid-ocean search. What happened to him? Why did he do it?

In the second story, Larry Newman leads an international crew in Earthwinds, the most expensive and heavily marketed balloon expedition ever undertaken, attempting to become the first to fly around the world non-stop. He often said that his 354-foot tall aircraft was more complicated to fly than the Space Shuttle. He makes three ascents, each with a different crew.

With amusing, anguishing and astonishing frankness, the aeronautical adventures of Light Heart and Earthwinds are presented for the first time from a true insider's perspective.
