In this scheme both private and public transport modes are managed by a planning authority having control of some decision variables: road pricing, transit ticket prices, and the service characteristics of transit. The multimodal transport system is subject to some constraints: physical...

We first review the interpretation of world-sheet defects as D branes described by a critical theory in 11 dimensions, that we interpret asM theory. We then show thatD-brane recoil induces dynamically an anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space-time background, with criticality restored by a twelfth time-like dimension described by a Liouville field. Local physics in the bulk of this AdS11 may be described b...
