Assessing the Role of Remote Sensing Information for Streamlining Environmental Assessment in Transportation
The U.S. Department of Transportation seeks to determine if remote sensing can contribute to streamlining the environmental assessment process. Environmental protection is accomplished through Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) that seek to prevent adverse environmental effects from taking place rather than mitigating problems caused by past activities or practi...
متن کاملTop-down landscape-based approach toward the assess and rank watershed and wetlands impacted by transportation corridor
Effectively integrating geospatial data to help with government decision making is a key challenge in transportation planning. Partitioning the landscape into hydrological watersheds is a logical and an ecologically-focused way to explore the context interactions between natural and man-made features. The methodology employs concepts of geographic object-based approaches customized in a multi-s...
متن کاملStreamlining the planning approval process for a sustainable urban development: A case study for unwinding man-made complexities
The urban development process displays regressive tacit-dominant knowledge areas and their tacit level would impede their movements during multi-level knowledge transfers among stakeholders. The accuracy of a knowledge may be distorted when recipient stakeholders fail to understand a specific knowledge for its purpose. Earlier studies by the authors had highlighted complex yet dynamic environme...
متن کاملApplication of rapid impact assessment matrix and sustainability model in environmental impact assessment and operational optimization of solid waste transfer stations in Tehran
Background and Objective: Municipal waste transfer stations (WTS), operate as middle elements in waste collection and transfer to the final disposal site. Besides their benefits in waste transportation cost reduction, WTS can cause negative environmental impacts such as noise, air, and water pollution. Environmental impact assessment is an effective solution to reduce the environmental impacts ...
متن کاملA Dynamic Model for Evaluating the Utility of Railway Transit Corridors; a Case study of Bandar Abbas-Sarakhs Corridor
Currently, road transportation is the main mode of freight transit in Iran and about 90% of freight transit is done through this mode of transportation which is not in line with the transportation policies that based on them 70% of the freight transit should be done through road transportation and 30% of the freight transit should be done through rail transportation. However, Iran's railway net...
