Global warming trends and the rapid reduction of summer Arctic sea ice extent have increased feasibility transarctic transport. How process glacier melting affects existing containerized sea–rail shipping network container flow assignment has become a challenging economic policy issue. This paper first examines meteorological influences on over network. Then, three-layer simulation framework is...

Internet under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD with the aim of bringing information on this subject to the attention of a wider audience. Executive summary This review of the environmental effects of freight is structured by transport mode, addressing shipping, air cargo, trucking, rail, pipelines and intermodal terminals. It begins with a brief overview of the major env...

Background: Finding trends in freight transportation activities enables businesses and policy makers to build an understanding of patterns their impact on logistics planning when making investments a region’s infrastructure intermodal transport system. To the best our knowledge, there is limited literature data-driven analysis about mode choices influencing factors Atlantic Canada. Methods: In ...

Data associated with over 9000 accidents involving large trucks and combination vehicles during a two-year period on freeways in the greater Los Angeles area are analyzed relative to collision factors, accident severity, and incident duration and lane closures. Relationships between type of collision and accident characteristics are explored using log-linear models. The results point to signifi...

To increase the understanding of passenger choice air-rail integrated services (ARIS), present paper a) analyzes profile intermodal passengers by classifying them based on their socioeconomic and travel characteristics (b) uncovers any heterogeneity in satisfaction with ARIS among different groups. Through collecting 1,345 questionnaires about ARIS, surveyed Shijiazhuang, China, we first apply ...

In recent years, the interest in monitoring operating conditions of freight wagons has grown significantly to improve safety railway vehicles. The research group Politecnico di Torino been working for years on development solutions effectively monitor passenger and rail As part national Cluster ITS Italy 2020 project funded by Italian ministry education, university (MIUR), collected a considera...

In this research, Ride quality of a three-axle truck is investigated to understand its vibration specifications and influence of it on special load. The truck is Benz 2624, and the load is rather sensitive to vibrations. The system is considered for an off-road duty. Hence, the vehicle is modeled as a nineteen-degree of freedom system and its equations of motion are derived by employing Lagrang...

When attention is directed to stimuli in a given modality and location, information processing in other irrelevant modalities at this location is affected too. This spread of attention to irrelevant stimuli is often interpreted as superiority of location selection over modality selection. However, this conclusion is based on experimental paradigms in which spatial attention was transient wherea...

The interest of academics, policy makers and transport-related companies for intermodal transport has increased strongly during the past two decades. After all, intermodal transport – defined as the transport of loadings units (such as containers) by different transport modes, without handling the goods when changing modes – is in many cases an alternative to unimodal road transport that has a ...

Recent in situ observations during Critical Ionization Velocity (CIV) experiments under the CRIT project produced puzzling results, apparently at odds with current ClV theories. It is shown that incorporation in the theory of lower hybrid wave (LHW) instabilities of strong turbulence and finite size effects results in reconciliation of the theory with the observations.
