Efficient Vehicles Versus Efficient Transportation Comparing Transportation Energy Conservation Strategies

This paper compares four transportation energy conservation strategies using a comprehensive evaluation framework that takes into account how each strategy affects annual vehicle travel, and therefore mileage-related impacts such as traffic congestion, road and parking facility costs, and crashes. These mileage-related impacts tend to be large in magnitude compared with energy conservation bene...

Cyber-Infrastructure Protection Policy:

Infrastructure challenges continue to drive considerable public policy debate. The nation’s economy relies very heavily on the combined provision of three critical infrastructures: energy, banking and finance, and information technology (IT). These three critical infrastructures are interconnected, interdependent and cross-cutting essential services to the whole economy. Indeed, the “incapacity...

Towards a Web Based Transportation Infrastructure

The level of digitalization within transport companies is much higher than the level of digitalization across organization boundaries. This fact suggests that there is room for improvement. However, this situation is not likely to change as long as there is no financial incentive for the whole sector to cooperate in establishing a shared communication infrastructure. In this paper, we present o...
