Modal Integration in Passenger Transportation
Author: Christopher J. BoonPublisher: Kingston, Ont. : Canadian Institute of Guided Ground Transport
ISBN:
Category : Railroads
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Study to assess the concept of intermodal passenger transportation, also called modal integration, in the form of transit/surface intercity, air/transit, air/surface intercity, and intercity bus/rail. The report focuses on policy issues associated with modal integration, including identifying the advantages and disadvantages of integration, the prerequisites for integration (particularly the commercial, institutional, and policy factors), and the opportunities in Canada. Cases of modal integration were examined in Canada, the United States, and Europe, and data are given on the degree of modal integration currently existing at the major Canadian passenger terminals.
The Geography of Transport Systems
Author: Jean-Paul RodriguePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136777326
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.
