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.

A Simulation Analysis of the Economic Consequences of Establishing Multi-modal Transportation Companies
Author: Robert Scott TrippPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Piggyback transportation

Pages : 492
Book Description
The study is concerned with the examination of the economic consequences of establishing multi-modal transportation companies. The purpose is to examine the economic impact various combinations of parameters or test factors have on a transportation company formed from single modal carriers, and to determine on the average which organizational form, transportation company or single modal carriers, is economically superior. A simulation model was developed for the comparison of a transportation company with single modal carriers. The test factors selected for analysis are: the operating ratios of truck and rail modes, the load factors of these modes, the amount of available capacity, and the level of shippers' logistics constraints.
