A ROUTING METHODOLOGY FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ROAD NETWORK

 Abstract: The shipments of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) induce various risks to the road network. Today, one of the major considerations of transportation system managers is HAZMATs shipments, due to the increasing demand of these goods (because it is more used in industry, agriculture, medicine, etc.), and the rising number of incidents that are associated to hazardous materials.

Telecommunications-Transportation-Energy Interaction: The Potential for Telecommuting to Reduce Urban Network-Wide Fuel Consumption

Telecommuting has achieved recognition in several states and foreign countries as a means to reduce trip-making during the peak period. Evidence to date suggests that telecommuting can effectively eliminate commute trips without creating new travel. If true, telecommuting holds vast potential to mitigate urban traffic congestion. Decreased network fuel consumption and improved air quality are t...

Acceptance of Waste-to-Energy as Part of an Integrated Approach to Waste Management is Better for the Environment and Could Reduce Community Waste Management Costs

Clustering Obsolete Computers to Reduce E-Waste

Personal computers contribute significantly to the growing problem of electronic waste. Every computer, when finished with, must be stored, dumped, recycled, or somehow re-used. Most are dumped, at a huge cost to health and the environment, as their owners succumb to the desire to keep up with the ever-increasing power of new computers. Supercomputers and computer clusters provide more power th...
