Containing papers presented at the 28th International Conference on
Urban and Maritime Transport and the Environment, this volume
covers two, apparently, parallel topics which meet in the transport
and environmental management of coastal cities, both being affected
positively and negatively by landside and seaside traffic. The
continuing requirement for better urban transport systems and the
need for a healthier environment create a fertile environment for
original ideas, innovative approaches and applications of advanced
technologies, their tests and evaluations in practice. Moreover,
there is a growing need for integration with IT systems and
applications to improve safety and efficiency. Maritime Transport
is highly interconnected with rail, road and air services, as well
as inland waterways. Each of these must therefore operate
complimentary of one another to maximise efficiency and respond
rapidly to variable economic and political contingencies. The
variety of topics covered by the included research works reflects
the complex interaction of transport systems with their environment
and the need to establish integrated strategies. The shared aim is
to arrive at optimal socio-economic solutions while reducing the
negative environmental impacts of transportation systems typically
by interdisciplinary approaches. Therefore, a focus is placed on
multidisciplinary research and development, as well as operational
experiences.
