From the point of view of economic history and microeconomic theory, we carried out an enquiry on the state of the railway heritage in the province of Huelva and surveyed the chances of their preservation and/or reuse with cultural purposes, i.e. as tourist attractions. This heritage is the...

A few years before the loss of Spain’s last colonies overseas civil society and political powers in the province of Huelva made a joint bid for the construction of a secondary railway between the capital and Ayamonte. They were well aware of both their peripheral location and their laggard...

This report reviews the Commonwealth of Virginia’s secondary road policy in order to identify options for revising policy to improve the condition and operation of the secondary system in light of continuing reductions in secondary construction and maintenance budgets

Transportation network planning decisions made at one point of time can have profound impacts in the future. However, transportation networks are usually assumed to be static in models of land use. A better understanding of the natural growth pattern of roads will provide valuable guidance to...

Sharing data between GIS software (Arc/Info) and Traffic Demand Modeling Software (EMME/2) has long been an issue of interest to traffic engineers. A literature review and evaluation of current efforts on the data exchange is given in this paper. The authors also developed their own economical...

Despite rapidly emerging innovative road pricing and investment principles, the development of a long run network dynamics model for necessary policy evaluation is still lagging. This research endeavors to fill this gap and models the impacts of road financing policies throughout the network...

The US Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Development Disabilities estimates the number of people diagnosed with a developmental disability in the United States as 4.5 million persons, which would translate to about 17,000 residents of Hennepin County, Minnesota. This...

Travel demand emerges from individual decisions. These decisions, depending on individual objectives, preferences, experiences and spatial knowledge about travel, are both heterogeneous and evolutionary. Research emerging from fields such as road pricing and ATIS requires travel demand models...

Traditionally, students use pencil and ruler to lay out lines and curves over contour maps for roadway geometry design. Numerous calculations of stopping sight distance, minimum turning radius, and curve alignments are required during the roadway design process in order to ensure safety, to...

Major network disruptions have significant impacts on local travelers. A good understanding of behavioral reactions to such incidents is crucial for traffic management and planning. Existing research on such topics is limited. This study investigates travelers' reaction to both the collapse and...
