Autonomous and Integrated Parking and Transportation Services

Autonomous and Integrated Parking and Transportation Services

In this book the author outlines a Robust Web Parking Truck and Transportation Portal (RWPTTP) for integrating parking and transportation services – a revolutionary approach in contrast to incremental change for managing traffic congestion. Autonomous vehicle technology artificial intelligence internet of things (IOT) and other interconnected hardware and software tools will assist autonomous parking and transportation services and provide next-century infrastructure for consolidated transportation customer services. The book highlights currently available autonomous parking and transportation technologies and the development of an integrated and intelligent transportation service/system (IITS) platform with specific use of technologies to reconfigure the transportation industry. The author also suggests many regulatory and policy changes to simplify data collection traffic operation introduction of a duplicate transportation system using light rail (LRs) and high speed rail (SPRs) and redistribution of parking spaces along such routes using renewable energy. | Autonomous and Integrated Parking and Transportation Services

Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice

Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice

There is considerable uncertainty about what level of traffic loading bridges should be designed for. Codes specify notional load models generally to represent extreme levels of normal traffic but these are often crude and have inconsistent levels of safety for different load effects. Over the past few decades increasing quantities of reliable truck weight data has become available and it is now possible to calculate appropriate levels of bridge traffic loading both for specific bridges and for a road network. Bridge Traffic Loading brings together experts from all over the world to deliver not just the state-of-the-art of vertical loading but also to provide recommendations of best-practice for all the major challenges in the field – short-span single and multi-lane bridge loading dynamic allowance and long-span bridges. It reviews issues that continue to be debated such as which statistical distribution is most appropriate whether free-flowing or congested traffic governs and dealing with future traffic growth. Specialist consultants and bridge owners should find this invaluable as will regulators. | Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice

Automotive Accident Reconstruction Practices and Principles Second Edition

Automotive Accident Reconstruction Practices and Principles Second Edition

This fully updated edition presents practices and principles applicable for the reconstruction of automobile and commercial truck crashes. Like the First Edition it starts at the very beginning with fundamental principles information sources and data gathering and inspection techniques for accident scenes and vehicles. It goes on to show how to analyze photographs and crash test data. The book presents tire fundamentals and shows how to use them in spreadsheet-based reverse trajectory analysis. Such methods are also applied to reconstructing rollover crashes. Impacts with narrow fixed objects are discussed. Impact mechanics structural dynamics and conservation-based reconstruction methods are presented. The book contains a comprehensive treatment of crush energy and how to develop structural stiffness properties from crash test data. Computer simulations are reviewed and discussed. Extensively revised this edition contains new material on side pole impacts. It has entirely new chapters devoted to low-speed impacts downloading electronic data from vehicles deriving structural stiffness in side impacts and incorporating electronic data into accident reconstructions | Automotive Accident Reconstruction Practices and Principles Second Edition

Mobility and Identity in Europe A Mobile Ethnographic Approach

Mobility and Identity in Europe A Mobile Ethnographic Approach

This book demonstrates that mobility in Europe is not a synonym for European mobility showing how certain mobile individuals are more likely to develop an explicitly European identity than others. Through a series of mobile ethnographic accounts with truck drivers musicians and MEPs the author lays out the complexities behind assumptions about mobility and European identity providing a clear contrast between individuals for whom this process certainly is true and others who in spite of their high levels of mobility do not consider themselves European or for whom the notion of being European is simply insignificant. Ultimately as this book shows the enactment of a European identity through practices of mobility has more to do with social class than with a mobile condition per se with mobility in Europe being transformed into European mobility only when it empowers individuals solidifying their elevated position in the social pyramid. An account of European identity and its connection to mobility and notions of class Mobility and Identity in Europe also explores the ways in which mobile ethnography can be practised as a method and what conclusions can be drawn from it. As such it will appeal to scholars and students of sociology anthropology and geography. | Mobility and Identity in Europe A Mobile Ethnographic Approach

An Analysis of Theodore Levitt's Marketing Myopia

An Analysis of Theodore Levitt's Marketing Myopia

Theodore Levitt’s 1960 article “Marketing Myopia” is a business classic that earned its author the nickname “the father of modern marketing”. It is also a beautiful demonstration of the problem solving skills that are crucial in so many areas of life – in business and beyond. The problem facing Levitt was the same problem that has confronted business after business for hundreds of years: how best to deal with slowing growth and eventual decline. Levitt studied many business empires – the railroads for instance – that at a certain point simply shrivelled up and shrank to almost nothing. How he asked could businesses avoid such failures? His approach and his solution comprise a concise demonstration of high-level problem solving at its best. Good problem solvers first identify what the problem is then isolate the best methodology for solving it. And as Levitt showed a dose of creative thinking also helps. Levitt’s insight was that falling sales are all about marketing and marketing is about knowing your real business. The railroads misunderstood their real market: they weren’t selling rail they were selling transport. If they had understood that they could have successfully taken advantage of new growth areas – truck haulage for instance – rather than futilely scrabbling to sell rail to a saturated market. | An Analysis of Theodore Levitt's Marketing Myopia
