    Book SynopsisEntering the 21st century, the Nation''s transportation system has matured; it only expands its infrastructure by a fraction of a percentage each year. However, congestion continues to grow at an alarming rate, adversely impacting our quality of life and increasing the potential for accidents and long delays. These are expected to escalate, calling for transportation professionals to increase the productivity of existing transportation systems through the use of operational improvements. In order to assess the potential effectiveness of a particular strategy, it must be analyzed using traffic analysis tools or methodologies. The objective of this book is to assist traffic engineers, planners, and traffic operations professionals in the selection of the correct type of traffic analysis tool for operational improvements.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has taken steps toward better oversight of motor carriers by establishing the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) and chameleon carrier vetting programs; however, FMCSA could improve its oversight to better target high risk carriers. The CSA program oversees carriers'' safety performance through roadside inspections and crash investigations, and issues violations when instances of noncompliance with safety regulations are found. CSA provides FMCSA, state safety authorities, and the industry with valuable information regarding carriers'' performance on the road. This book examines the effectiveness of the CSA program in assessing safety risk for motor carriers. For years, some motor carriers have registered and been operating illegally in interstate commerce by using a new identity in an effort to disguise their former identity and evade enforcement actions issued against them by the FMCSA. Such carriers are referred to as chameleon carriers and may include interstate passenger carriers, household goods carriers, or freight truck carriers. This book examines the prevalence of chameleon carriers; how well FMCSA''s investigative programs are designed to identify suspected chameleon carriers; and what constraints, if any, FMCSA faces in pursuing enforcement actions against suspected chameleon carriers.

    Book SynopsisThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) followed a reasonable process for redesigning the National Automotive Sampling System Crashworthiness Data System (NASS-CDS), which is a nationally representative sample of police-reported motor-vehicle traffic crashes. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has standards and guidelines that specify the professional principles and practices that agencies should follow and the level of quality and effort expected when redesigning an existing survey, such as NASS-CDS. This book assesses the process NHTSA used to redesign NASS-CDS; and the potential for this redesign to improve the NASS-CDS sample.

  • Peter Lang AG Die Liberalisierung Des Grenzueberschreitenden

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisAm 1. April 1997 wurde die Deregulierung des Luftverkehrsmarktes in der Europäischen Union formaljuristisch abgeschlossen. Seit diesem Zeitpunkt dürfen die in der EU sowie in Island und Norwegen zertifizierten Fluggesellschaften jede Flugstrecke innerhalb der Union, einschließlich sämtlicher Inlandsstrecken, ohne Beschränkungen bedienen. Damit endete ein mehrstufiger Liberalisierungsprozess, der in den achtziger Jahren begonnen hatte. Diese Arbeit untersucht empirisch mittels einer breiten Datenbasis die ökonomischen Wohlfahrtseffekte des Liberalisierungsprozesses für die Konsumenten und geht der Frage nach, ob die Luftverkehrsmärkte in der EU nach ihrer Liberalisierung wie oft vermutet ein Beispiel für bestreitbare Märkte sind.

    Book SynopsisWhen Pete's story begins, his goals for an upcoming semester abroad are clear: study how to make America's cities more bicycle friendly, and then return home to his new bride, Amy Joy. Once he sets foot in Amsterdam, however, Pete falls immediately in love with the city that already lives life on two wheels.Trade Review"A funny, engaging, and exhaustively researched tribute to Amsterdam's unique biking history...Jordan is an honest, self-effacing narrator, and there's much that's lovably comic about his inauguration into Amsterdam cyclo-culture." -- Los Angeles Times "A charming and quirky book...Jordan's portrait of bicycle culture in Amsterdam gives a fascinating account of a viable alternative to dependence on cars." -- Christian Science Monitor "This highly readable book illuminates the bicycle's integral role in shaping both the psyche and the actual city of Amsterdam." -- Houston Chronicle "For anyone contemplating visiting or living in The Netherlands, In the City of Bikes is a must read." -- New York Journal of Books "Full of personal anecdote, self-deprecating humor, local lore and a history of cycling that positively bursts with enthusiasm, In the City of Bikes is both a memoir and an ode to bicycles -- Shelf Awareness "[W]hat could have been a straightforward history [is] something more special: history that doesn't feel like history--just an enjoyable story from start to finish...An excellent choice for bikers and those who appreciate how a city's history can be changed by the simplest of passions." -- Kirkus Reviews "Jordan brings depth and color to a niche subject, delivering an engaging cultural history. By the end, readers will understand that the bike is to Amsterdam what the car is to America. Both are more than modes of transportation: they're a substantial part of their riders' identities." -- Publishers Weekly

    Book SynopsisBuilding a model from a kit is an excellent way to develop your modeling skills. But once you've mastered the basics, where do you go? If you're looking for a challenge, you move on to scratchbuilding. And that can be imposing: With a kit, you worked with someone else's plans, materials, and building instructions. Scratchbuilding makes you master of your own fate. You do the research, choose the subject, the scale, the material. The choices are limited only by your enthusiasm.Edwin B. Leaf scratchbuilt his first model--a Baltimore clipper--nearly fifty years ago, and he's been refining and building on his skills ever since. In Ship Modeling from Scratch he lays out the principles--from concept to construction to display--on which scratchbuilding is based. In clear, concise language complemented by detailed illustrations he tells how to interpret existing drawings or create your own, what materials to choose, what tools to buy, and what techniques to use to build everythingTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionChapter 1 Selecting a ProjectChapter 2 Getting the Most from Your DrawingsChapter 3 MaterialsChapter 4 ToolsChapter 5 Half-ModelsChapter 6 Hull ConstructionChapter 7 Miscellaneous MattersChapter 8 Applying the FinishChapter 9 Masting and RiggingChapter 10 Sailmaking and FlagsChapter 11 Making Fittings and FurnishingsChapter 12 Displaying the ModelChapter 13 A Plank-on-Bulkhead Model from Start to FinishChapter 14 A Plank-on-Frame Model from Start to FinishChapter 15 PostscriptAppendicesI.

    Book SynopsisThis book is about fixing up old boats made of wood. For many people, a boat isn't a boat unless it's made of wood. The psychological and philosophical reasons for needing to own a boat made from honest trees instead of the material that L. Francis Herreshoff characterized as "frozen snot" needn't concern us. But in this day and age, hard-nosed economics and the ubiquitous bottom line certainly should.FACT: You can buy a repairable wooden boat and renovate and remodel it for a lot less money than you can buy and renovate a plastic or metal of similar size and condition. Jim Trefethen has renovated dozens of good old wooden boats, and in this book he's sharing his collected wisdom, craftsmanship, and penury with you. It will supply you with the basic skills you'll need to successfully renovate an old wooden boat--any old wooden boat, from a 16-foot canoe to a 50-foot cruiser, and everything in between--provided the boat actually is repairable (and you'll learn how to determine Trade Review"I strongly recommend this book.

    Book SynopsisUltralight canoes and small boats are things of beauty, their apparent delicacy concealing great strength. They are lapstrake-constructed from marine plywood planks, each plank overlapping the one below it in a gracefully curved hull. Epoxy glue along the laps gives the hull structural reinforcement, minimizing the need for framing and permitting an amazingly light structure. Round-bilged and elegant, they are built over jigs, but the method is straightforward and not time consuming. You can build a boat that will give you fun and satisfaction, one you can be proud of, in a winter of leisurely weekends. No fancy tools are needed, and care and patience will make up whatever you lack in woodworking skills.All the information you need is here. Tom Hill, the chief proponent of ultralight boatbuilding and its leading practitioner, describes the method from start to finish using a skiff and canoe as examples. In the appendix is a gallery of ultralight designs, all but one of which you Trade Review"A marvelous book which has broken fresh ground on quality, low-cost construction of traditional hull forms.

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"This book is an important contribution to the growing interest in MaaS and provides a thoroughly researched reference source. The book is an enjoyable read and should be on the bookshelves of all professionals interested in getting an up to date briefing of the MaaS journey to date. The authors have really gone through the materials existing to date and point out level of understanding we have at the moment. In particular the chapter 2.5 in which modal efficiency and the rationale for integration is discussed is an important contribution to knowledge. I commend the authors for this stimulating book." --Sampo Hietanen, Founder CEO - MaaS Global "This book is an important contribution to the growing interest in Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). It should be an important reference for academics as well as practitioners in clarifying the concept as well as providing an up to date summary of research on MaaS. Even though all chapters are important contributions, I found the chapter on institutional barriers and governance particularly interesting to read in that it not only describes the challenges associated with but proposes strategies by which the development and diffusion of MaaS could be addressed. I commend the authors for an interesting and stimulating book." --I.C. MariAnne Karlsson, Professor and Head of Division of Design & Human Factors, Department of Industrial and Materials Science - Chalmers University of Technology "This book is a critical examination of MaaS globally and shows a coherent depth of research that we have not seen to date. It will become the definitive source for MaaS and its honesty and analysis means that it will be a benchmark for the state of MaaS. The chapter on pilot programs for MaaS provides a holistic review of global initiatives that draws on some of the successes and limited wins for MaaS and shows why MaaS has started to work and in some instances why it hasn't succeeded as well as planned, but this feeds directly into the next chapter that then asks the critical question for businesses and cities alike 'What is the potential for MaaS'. I recommend that this book becomes essential reading and reference for all mobility professionals." --Andy Taylor, Strategy Director - Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc.Table of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisThis title was a prize winner at the OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine) Awards 2023.The link between culture and wine reaches back into the earliest history of humanity.The Routledge Handbook of Wine and Culture brings together a newly comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of contemporary research and thinking on how wine fits into the cultural frameworks of production, intermediationand consumption.Bringing together many leading researchers engaged in studying these phenomena, it explores the different ways in which wine is constructed as a social artefact and how its representation and use acquire symbolic meaning. Wine can be analysed in different ways by varying disciplines involved in exploring wine and culture (anthropology, economics and business, geography, history and sociology, and as text). TheHandbook uses these as lenses to consider how producers, intermediaries and consumers use and create cultural significance.Trade Review'Food and eating as a component of culture has been a prosperous field of study for the last few decades. For myself, I always felt a bit daunted at taking on the often esoteric-seeming culture of wine. But in this book, the international, interdisciplinary and learned team of editors have produced a wonderful introduction to the field that allays all anxieties. It is an impressive collection, and written in a lively fashion.'Stephen Mennell, author of All Manners of Food, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University College Dublin.'With a massive all star cast of social scientists and more this new compendium does nothing less than show how that heavenly beverage, wine, touches every part of the culture of much of the world. ‎Extravagantly edited and carefully written, this is a handbook for the ages.'Orley Ashenfelter, Princeton University, American Association of Wine Economists (President), and Editorial Boards, Journal of Wine Economics and Journal of Cultural Economics​.'An enchanting and authoritative sampling, or tasting, or wine aspect of wine lore and information. Not just about production and consumption, the Handbook evokes creative thinking about wine in society, economy and personal life.'Professor Paul Freedman, Chester D. Tripp Professor of History, Dept. of History, Yale University.'Wine culture can be intimidating. Happily, we now have a Handbook that puts out the welcome mat for newcomers, but also provides nuanced analysis for seasoned wine scholars. This broad-reaching compendium walks readers through the transnational expanse of wine culture that touches business, economics, geography, history. The multidisciplinary team helps us to appreciate wine as a material good but also a cultural product embedded in ideologies and power relations. It is an indispensable touchstone for future research on wine.' Josée Johnston, co-author of Foodies, Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto."More than a handbook, this volume is an invitation to explore wine as a cultural object and phenomenon. From anthropology to economics, scholars from a variety of disciplines explore the culture of wine from novel perspectives. The reader can delve into the colonial past and legacy of wine, engage with current environmental issues or think about what the future might hold for the production of wine.Showing that wine is good to think, this volume will appeal to wine lovers and scholars alike. The quality of the writing and the breadth of the topics make this handbook an excellent resource for anyone interested in delving into the cultural importance of wine.The Routledge Handbook of Wine and Culture is an excellent addition to the growing scholarship on wine and culture.
