Climate change is one of the greatest environmental, economic, and social challenges of our time. Urban transportation has had a major negative impact on our environment—most of our air pollution comes from transport. This paper explores ways to move toward a more sustainable transport system by focusing on creating a more efficient and livable city and improving the environmental efficiency of...

Rapid developments of mobile technologies, data acquisition and big data analytics, and their integration with critical application domains such as transportation systems have the potential to produce more efficient, real-time, intelligent and safe transportation infrastructure. To increase the quality of transportation services, wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, crowd sourcing, RFID and...

For a sustainable people and goods mobility, CISIT (The International Campus on Safety and Intermodality in Transportation) has the objective to realize an optimal management of multimodal chains. In this context, this paper discusses the real-time regulation of traffic in a transportation system disruption.. In fact, the increase in the network size and the presence of multiple transportation ...

This paper presents the essential temporal data constructs necessary in providing solutions for transportation applications that use dynamic data, such as facility management systems, safety and incident management, transportation planning, emergency management, and intelligent transportation systems. These temporal data constructs are categorized as time stamps, temporal topology and temporal ...

Transportation networks have been developed during the recent decades with the rapid growth of economy. At the same time, the conflicts between different transportation modes were getting more and more intense. To describe the competition relationship in integrated transportation system, a multi-agent competition model was presented. It is important to provide decision support for regulators to...

This article adopts a family of surrogatebased optimization approaches to approximate the response surface for the transportation simulation input– output mapping and search for the optimal toll charges in a transportation network. The computational effort can thus be significantly reduced for the expensive-toevaluate optimization problem. Meanwhile, the random noise that always occurs through ...

The analysis of the most researches related to the supplier selection shows that very little attention is given to transportation although its cost may be significant important to this selection. In this paper, we present a multiobjective approach of selecting suppliers and allocating the order quantity among them, taking into account transportation. The objectives to minimize in the model are ...

Japanese companies in India are required to pay additional costs to avoid breakdown of machinery due to blackouts and voltage changes. The bad condition of roads inflicts damage on commodities during transportation. Transportation between Delhi and the South takes one week due to the lack of express highways. Economic losses are incurred because of the long transportation time and high gasoline...

Effective transportation systems lead to the efficient movement of goods and people, which significantly contribute to the quality of life in every society. In the heart of every economic and social development, there is always a transportation system. Meanwhile, traffic congestion has been increasing worldwide because of increased motorization, urbanization, population growth, and changes in p...
