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.

I made the Transport & Logistic Glossary aprox. 33.000 terms, as author with this fund, contributions and sponsorship I intend to build a libraries for transporters and students. Transport & Logistic Glossary creates highly targeted content geared to globally fleet owners and transport owner operator associations which have a different products, career opportunities and marketing strategies in the same industries as is all type of transportation. The Transport & Logistic Glossary is a glossary of transportation, rail, shipping, aero, road, intermodal, containers, fleet management, warehousing, materials handling, hazardous materials, related manufacturing and supply chain management professional, global logistics from raw materials through production to the customer, international trade terms and definitions and standardized international terms of purchase / sale. The Transport & Logistic Glossary is a research types of professional industry experts material which are in the public domain included here for educational and course pack purposes for worldwide transport & logistics associations / organizations The Transport & Logistic Glossary includes all terminology, acronyms and terms used by experienced and professionals that are involved in supply chain management professional, logistics, warehousing, all transportation type, rail, shipping, aero, road and manufacturing, The Transport & Logistic Glossary help power global operations that is a integrated tool with key logistics and compliance processes for successful companies in the world in the science of planning, organizing and managing activities that provide goods or services. The Transport & Logistic Glossary contain, classify and compare 33.000 acronyms and terms with alternative is an invaluable tool to make better trade strategy decisions, faster, allow logistics providers to manage the spiraling costs associated with shipping by sea and airfreight.

Children's Active Transportation is a rigorous and comprehensive examination of the current research and interventions on active transportation for children and youth. As the travel behaviors of these groups tend to be highly routinized, and their mobility faces unique constraints, such as parental restrictions, mandatory school attendance, and the inability to drive a motor vehicle before late adolescence, this book examines the key factors that influence travel behavior among children and youth, providing key insights into lessons learned from current interventions. Readers will find a resource that clearly demonstrates how critical it is for children to develop strong, active transportation habits that carry into adulthood. - Discusses the correlates that exist between children's active transportation using a social and ecological model - Summarizes active transportation interventions that show what works to increase non-motorized modes of travel in children - Describes the factors that influence the implementation and effectiveness of interventions

The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) established the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program. The CMAQ Program emphasizes the importance of the link between transportation and air quality, by providing 6 billion dollars between 1992-1997 for transportation projects and programs to improve air quality. Consequently, many areas will be able to implement transportation control measures (TCMs), in compliance with the mandates of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA).
