While many transportation and city planners, researchers, students,
practitioners, and political leaders are familiar with the
technical nature and promise of vehicle automation, consensus is
not yet often seen on the impact that will result, or the policies
and actions that those responsible for transportation systems
should take. The End of Driving: Transportation Systems and Public
Policy Planning for Autonomous Vehicles explores both the potential
of vehicle automation technology and the barriers it faces when
considering coherent urban deployment. The book evaluates the case
for deliberate development of automated public transportation and
mobility-as-a-service as paths towards sustainable mobility,
describing critical approaches to the planning and management of
vehicle automation technology. It serves as a reference for
understanding the full life cycle of the multi-year transportation
systems planning processes, including novel regulation, planning,
and acquisition tools for regional transportation.
Application-oriented, research-based, and solution-oriented rather
than predict-and-warn, The End of Driving concludes with a detailed
discussion of the systems design needed for accomplishing this
shift. From the Foreword by Susan Shaheen: The authors ... extend
potential solutions through a set of open-ended exercises after
each chapter. Their approach is both strategic and deliberate. They
lead the reader from definitions and context setting to the
transition toward automation, employing a range of creative
strategies and policies. While our quest to understand how to
deploy automated vehicles is just beginning, this book provides a
thoughtful introduction to inform this evolution.
Cambodia's transport sector plays a critical role in the country's
economic development by supporting growth in key sectors such as
agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and construction. This
publication examines Cambodia's transport sector performance, major
development constraints, and the government's strategy and plans.
It also reflects on lessons learned from past ADB assistance and
identifies potential areas for future support, including knowledge
initiatives and investments. The publication serves as a basis for
further dialogue on how ADB and the government can collaborate to
effectively develop the transport sector in the coming years.
This textbook aims to sketch out the main problems arising in the
field of EU transnational transportation by providing adequate
understanding of the legal setting in the five key EU legal areas
for this sector: fundamental freedoms, private international law,
posting of workers, social security coordination and social
dialogue. Indeed, road transport is a truly living organism which
makes it challenging for the laws to keep up with its ongoing
dynamics. In addition, due to its inherent transnational element,
the process of application of relevant laws is often shrouded in
ambiguity, making it difficult to solve the emerged conflicts of
laws. Against this background, this textbook provides an integral
vision on the interaction of EU freedoms with social rights at EU
level offering a comprehensive and unique in- depth coverage of the
most relevant topics and presenting nuanced guidance depicting
problem solving skills which was carefully selected by the leading
academic experts. Overall, this position is addressed to not only
academics but also to students, practitioners and others interested
in the road transport sector.
Shortlisted, East Coast Literary Award and Evelyn Richardson Prize
for Non-FictionIt was over in seconds. In the early hours of
January 12, 2008, seven members of a high school basketball team
and their coach's wife died instantly when their school van
collided with a tractor trailer. Travelling in dirty weather,
minutes from their Bathurst, New Brunswick, homes, the impact
forever shattered the lives of eight families and their community.
In the weeks that followed the horrific crash, two women who lost
their sons in the accident forged a bond. Ana Acevedo and Isabelle
Hains were transformed by their unimaginable grief into unlikely
agents of courage and change. It was Isabelle and Ana who pushed
the provincial government into holding an inquest into the
accident. It was Isabelle and Ana who pushed the province into
following the recommendations of that inquest. And it was Isabelle
and Ana who made it safer for children to travel to extracurricular
activities, in New Brunswick and across the country. A gripping
story told in heartbreaking detail, Driven reveals the truth behind
one of this country's worst school tragedies, and the two women who
fought for justice in the name of their sons.
Explores the intricacies of the landscape of electric vehicles and
electric vehicle charging infrastructure in India. Due to favorable
Government frameworks, the propagation of electric vehicles is
happening at a fast pace, and as automotive industry giants embark
on a new EV paradigm, shapes, structures, and technologies are
being transformed. The insights from this book a variety of topics,
including low carbon footprint mobility, emerging EV battery
technologies, operating principles of electric motors, the changes
in electric drive train systems, the regenerative braking system,
and the establishment of an appropriate charging infrastructure.
The book further dwells on the major challenges facing the
implication of EV policy in good time. The industry players and
manufacturers are unequivocally aligned with the government's
vision, and mobility service providers must take action to
integrate EVs into the public transportation networks.
This report prepared by an Asia-Pacific Road Safety Observatory
(APRSO) taskforce analyzes how improving crash and accident data
collection can better protect lives on the region's roads. It looks
at the type of data countries should prioritize and explains why
bolstering data quality would help reach targets of halving road
injuries and deaths. APRSO recommends collecting aggregated data to
analyze trends and set strategic priorities. In presenting a sample
questionnaire for countries, it shows that generating robust data
and analysis is key to improving actions and policies on road
safety for the region.
This manual sets out how to combine road safety audits with the
International Road Assessment Programme methodology in a star
ratings system. This system, Star Ratings for Road Safety Audits,
will help policy makers and practitioners involved in designing,
upgrading, and rehabilitating roads to meet safety targets and
reduce injuries from traffic accidents.

China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is expected to be the
largest infrastructure development scheme of the twenty-first
century. There is escalating concern over BRI's potential
environmental impacts in Southeast Asia, a global biodiversity
hotspot and a focus area of BRI development. Case studies of
Indonesia, Myanmar, Lao PDR and Malaysia show that the success of
BRI in bringing about sustainable growth and opportunities depends
on the Chinese government and financiers, as well as the agencies
and governments involved when BRI investments take place. The
adoption of best environmental practices is critical in ensuring
that growth is sustainable and that bad environmental practices are
not locked in for decades to come.
Climate Change, Public Health, and the Law provides the first
comprehensive explication of the dynamic interactions between
climate change, public health law, and environmental law, both in
the United States and internationally. Responding to climate change
and achieving public health protections each require the
coordination of the decisions and behavior of large numbers of
people. However, they also involve interventions that risk
compromising individual rights. The challenges involved in
coordinating large-scale responses to public health threats and
protecting against the invasion of rights, makes the law
indispensable to both of these agendas. Written for the benefit of
public health and environmental law professionals and policymakers
in the United States and in the international public health sector,
this volume focuses on the legal components of pursuing public
health goals in the midst of a changing climate. It will help
facilitate efforts to develop, improve, and carry out policy
responses at the international, federal, state, and local levels.
