The provision of public transit is thought to reduce travel time losses that are due to car congestion. For this reason, it is economically justified to subsidise public transit from a welfare perspective as it creates a congestion-relief benefit. The main goal of this paper is to quantify the...

Urban transportation systems are at the cusp of a major transformation that capitalizes on the proliferation of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), autonomous and cooperative vehicular and intelligent roadway technologies, advanced traffic management systems, and big data analytics. The benefits of...

Transportation demands large amounts of fuel. In particular, road transport greatly contributes to both criteria air pollutants and noise within cities. The influence of vehicular traffic on the environmental noise spectrum (as an indirect indicator of energy emission) was measured and assessed...

Purpose: This research aims at developing a comprehensive transshipment solution leading to additional opportunities of transshipment from small inland vessels throughout the West German canal network and, thereby, extending the existing capacities consisting of container bridges and reach...

Purpose: Public transportation in large cities has significant impacts on the environmental, social, and economical perspectives. However, the proper assignment of re-sources in public transportation creates paradoxical challenges since by increasing service level efficiency, the environmental...
