This book analyzes how transport influences the ecology of various
regions. Integrating perspectives and approaches from around the
globe, it examines the use of different types of engines and fuels,
and assesses the impact of vehicle design on the environment. The
book also addresses the effect of the transport situation in
agglomerations on their environmental safety. Various types of
environmental impacts are considered, from traditional emissions to
noise and vibration. Presenting scientific advances from 7 European
countries, the book appeals to experts, teachers and students, as
well as to anyone interested in the environmental aspects of the
transport industry.

This book discusses various issues of modeling freight and
passenger traffic, and explores the common approaches and regional
differences. The latter may be a consequence of national
legislation or the various approaches that are adopted by
scientists around the globe. It focuses on the organization of
transcontinental transport and aspects of planning and harmonizing
the movement of various transport means, particularly intermodal
and multimodal transport. New approaches to the prediction of
transportation needs are also considered. Written by international
experts, the book is divided into 2 parts: the first part analyzes
passenger transport, while the second addresses freight transport.
It is intended wide audience, including university professors,
graduate and Ph.D. students; transport professionals, and logistics
specialist.
This book discusses the problems of delivering goods from East and
South-East Asia to Europe, presenting the regional transport
problems experienced in Italy, Slovakia, Russia, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Poland. The book is divided into two
parts. The first part is devoted to the analysis of various issues
in global logistics and regional transport, which operate in
transport corridors. The second part of the book focuses on
solutions to some of the technical and informatics problems related
to the organization of transportation along the East-West routes.
Intended primarily for professionals involved in various aspects of
cargo delivery along the East-West routes, the book is also useful
for manufacturers, technical staff at logistics companies,
managers, students of transport-related subjects, as well as for a
wide range of readers interested in the current state of transport
in different countries.
This book shows how the systems approach is employed by scientists
in various countries to solve specific problems concerning railway
transport. In particular, the book describes the experiences of
scientists from Romania, Germany, the Czech Republic, the UK,
Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania and Poland. For many of these countries
there is a problem with the historical differences between the
railways. In particular, there are railways with different rail
gauges, with different signaling and communication systems, with
different energy supplies and, finally, with different political
systems, which are reflected in the different approaches to the
management of railway economies. The book's content is divided into
two main parts, the first of which provides a systematic analysis
of individual means of providing and maintaining rail transport. In
turn, the second part addresses infrastructure and management
development, with particular attention to security issues. Though
primarily written for professionals involved in various problems
concerning railway transport, the book will also benefit
manufacturers, railway technical staff, managers, and students with
transport specialties, as well as a wide range of readers
interested in learning more about the current state of transport in
different countries.

This book presents a discussion of problems encountered in the
deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). It puts emphasis
on the early tasks of designing and proofing the concept of
integration of technologies in Intelligent Transport Systems. In
its first part the book concentrates on the design problems of
urban ITS. The second part of the book features case studies
representative for the different modes of transport. These are
freight transport, rail transport and aerospace transport
encompassing also space stations. The book provides ideas for
deployment which may be developed by scientists and engineers
engaged in the design of Intelligent Transport Systems. It can also
be used in the training of specialists, students and post-graduate
students in universities and transport high schools.
This book presents a specific technical solution, called intermodal
transport, which became the basic technological solution that made
it possible to provide global interregional transport. Every day,
new technical, technological, and organizational solutions appear
that significantly affect the further development of this industry.
However, there are certain local differences between regions. In
addition, an essential factor is the exchange of experience between
scientists from different countries. Accordingly, the purpose of
this monothematic book is to acquaint readers with the achievements
of scientists dealing with this topic and living in different
regions. Scientists and specialists from Poland, Germany, Great
Britain, USA, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Italy, Kazakhstan, and
Lithuania participated in the writing of individual chapters of
this book. This book is intended for professionals, teachers,
students, and others who are interested in new approaches to
solving transport problems.
