The transportation of people and goods has been necessary in any society for thousands of years. In modern times, transportation has become a foundation component of human activity. A great deal of problems related to traffic and transportation have been ingeniously resolved in the past and perhaps an even greater number of problems will have to be overcome in the future. Now it has been realiz...

Mathematical models that describe the global spread of infectious diseases such as influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and tuberculosis (TB) often consider a sample of international airports as a network supporting disease spread. However, there is no consensus on how many cities should be selected or on how to select those cities. Using airport flight data that commercial airl...

Centralizing and using proper transportation facilities cut down costs and traffic. Hub facilities concentrate on flows to cause economic advantage of scale and multimodal transportation helps use the advantage of another transporter. A distinctive feature of this paper is proposing a new mathematical formulation for a three-stage p-hub location routing problem with simultaneous pick-ups and de...

Two concepts are essential to a definition of a healthy community: social justice and ecological sustainability. These principles must be at the heart of creating healthy communities, cities, and regions. Children and young people are an integral part of socially just and ecologically sustainable communities. Transportation and land-use policies are critical tools for shaping healthy communitie...

Changing the design aspects of urban form is a positive approach to improving transportation. Land use and urban design strategies have been proposed to not only to bring about changes in travel behavior but as a way of providing a better quality of life to the residents. While the research on the relationship between urban form and travel behavior has been pretty extensive, there is a clear ga...

The development of port logistics and regional economy presents a linkage relationship. This paper resorted to the commonly used econometric software, namely Eviews, to undergo some empirical analysis. One of its applications, known as the Granger Causality Test, is to provide evidence about the direction of causality in economic relationships. The competitiveness of port city logistics evaluat...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) – the application of communications and information technology to surface transportation systems – has the potential to improve transportation along several dimensions, from safety to emissions reductions to travel time and reliability. ITS has become a worldwide technology, and many cities in Latin America are currently deploying ITS, from individual te...
