Identification of Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Parameters Affecting Cloud Computing in Providing Intelligent Services Rail Transportation System

In the management of container sea-rail intermodal transportation, dynamic pricing problem with uncertain conditions has significant impacts on the benefit and competitiveness of a multimodal transport operator. Based on the revenue management theory and the features of container sea-rail intermodal transport, this paper develops a two stages optimal model which integrates dynamic pricing and s...

The effectiveness of rapid rail transit system is analyzed using tools of complex network for the first time. We evaluated the effectiveness of the system in Beijing quantitatively from different perspectives, including descriptive statistics analysis, bridging property, centrality property, ability of connecting different part of the system and ability of disease spreading. The results showed ...

Transportation for any country is a vital aspect of its social and economic life; it enhances trade needs whereby the country’s manufacturing, industrial tourism and distribution needs are served. Therefore, a vibrant, responsive, effective and efficient transport system will enhance Nigeria’s economic, developmental and strategic roles in the global system/economy. It is for this reason that T...

This paper reviews recent trends in control of aircraft, rail and highway vehicles toward supervisory control. Supervisory control means the human operator intermittently specifies goals, constraints and procedural information to a computer, monitors synoptic displays of state information, and tasks the computer to execute the instructions automatically. This trend has been driven by new sensor...

Surface transportation systems are a critical element of virtually every aspect of life in the United States. They support national defense, move people and goods, employ millions of people, generate revenue and consume resources and services generated by other sectors of the economy. The terrorist attacks of September 11th had a significant impact on the United States, not only in terms of los...

This Chapter focuses on Intermodal Freight Transportation, broadly defined as the transportation of a load from its origin to its destination by a sequence of at least two transportation modes, the transfer from one mode to the next being performed at an intermodal terminal. Container-based transportation services are an important part of intermodal transportation and the backbone of internatio...
