Book Description
Today, citizens advocate greater environmental sustainability, better services and the improvement of urban quality by promoting safer mobility, especially for the most vulnerable road users. Addressing these issues, Town and Infrastructure Planning for Safety and Urban Quality contains papers presented at the XXIII International Conference “Living and Walking in Cities” (Brescia, Italy, 15-16 June 2017). The contributions discuss town planning issues, look at best practices and research findings across the broad spectrum of urban and transport planning, with particular attention to the safety of pedestrians in the city. The main topics of the book are: - Urban regeneration. A focus on walkability (vulnerable road users; boosting and planning soft mobility) - Road safety and urban planning - vulnerable road users: planning for safety (integrated land use and transport planning; methodological approaches and case studies; integrated tools for town and transport planning; shaping public spaces and walkability; transport solutions for tourism) - Innovative and traditional solutions for Italian cities - Extra-European approaches to town and infrastructure planning - Different perspectives in road safety: prevention, infrastructure, sharing - Advances in road safety Town and Infrastructure Planning for Safety and Urban Quality is a powerful plea for a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive approach to urban mobility and planning, and will be of interest to academics, consultants and practitioners interested in these areas.

C'EST UNE APPROCHE MICRO LOCALE. ON ETUDIE SUR LA COMMUNE DE LANCON DE PROVENCE (BOUCHES-DU RHONE), L'EVOLUTION DU CHANG EMENT SOCIAL ET DE L'AMENAGEMENT URBAIN ENTRE 1959 ET 1993. LES PARAMETRES MIS EN EVIDENCE DESSINENT UNE IMAGE DE LA VIL LE QUI PERMET D'EXPLIQUER LES POLITIQUES D'AMENAGEMENT DU RESEAU ROUTIER ET DE DEGAGER DES ELEMENTS CONCERNANT LES PROCESSUS D'AMENAGEMENT DE SECURITE ROUTIERE. LA PREMIER APPROCHE DU TERRITOIRE CONSISTE EN UNE ETUDE DE L'HISTOIRE DES LIEUX PAR L'ANALYSE D'ARCHIVES. ON S'INTERESSE ENSUITE A LA MORPHOLOGIE DE LA POPULATION PAR DES ENTRETIENS, QUESTIONNAIRES ET L'ETUDE D'ACTES NOTARIES. L'AMENAGEMENT URBAIN EST APPREHENDE PAR L'ETUDE DES DELIBERATIONS DU CONSEIL MUNICIPAL ET UNE ANALYSE DE LA PRESSE LOCAL E. ON ETUDIE LA MOBILITE ET LA SECURITE ROUTIERE SUBJECTIVE PAR DES QUESTIONNAIRES "EN SITUATION". ON ETUDIE LES PROCESVERBAUX DE GENDARMERIE POUR CONNAITRE LA SECURITE ROUTIERE OBJECTIVE. LA CONVERGENCE DES APPORTS DES DIFFERENTES TECHNIQUES DESSINE UNE IMAGE DE LA VILLE QUI NOUS PERMET D'EXPLICITER LES PROCESSUS D'AMENAGEMENT.

Book Description
This book, on the ergonomics of human−machine systems, is aimed at engineers specializing in informatics, automation, production or robotics, who are faced with a significant dilemma during the conception of human−machine systems. On the one hand, the human operator guarantees the reliability of the system and has been known to salvage numerous critical situations through an ability to reason in unplanned, imprecise and uncertain situations; on the other hand, the human operator can be unpredictable and create disturbances in the automated system. The first part of the book is dedicated to the methods of human-centered design, from three different points of view, the various chapters focusing on models developed by human engineers and functional models to explain human behavior in their environment, models of cognitive psychology and models in the domain of automobile driving. Part 2 develops the methods of evaluation of the human−machine systems, looking at the evaluation of the activity of the human operator at work and human error analysis methods. Finally, Part 3 is dedicated to human−machine cooperation, where the authors show that a cooperative agent comprises a know-how and a so-called know-how-to-cooperate and show the way to design and evaluate that cooperation in real industrial contexts.

Book Description
Transport systems are facing an impossible dilemma: satisfy an increasing demand for mobility of people and goods, while decreasing their fossil-energy requirements and preserving the environment. Additionally, transport has an opportunity to evolve in a changing world, with new services, technologies but also new requirements (fast delivery, reliability, improved accessibility). The subject of traffic is organized into two separate but complementary volumes: Volume 3 on Traffic Management and Volume 4 on Traffic Safety. Traffic Safety, Volume 4 of the Research for Innovative Transports Set, presents a collection of updated papers from the TRA 2014 Conference, highlighting the diversity of research in this field. Theoretical chapters and practical case studies address topics such as road safety management and policies, accident analysis and modeling, vulnerable road users' safety, road infrastructure safety, ITS and railway safety.
