Since the inception of greenways concept, transportation has been one its inherent qualities. Nevertheless, journal articles from past three decades reported negligible active (AT) impact many greenway investments worldwide. Simultaneously, an international empirical evidence base usage for AT not yet established. Therefore, this research aimed to identify and analyze influences on via a system...

1 Traditional “chalk and talk” teaching in civil engineering has gradually been re2 placed with the idea of active learning focusing on encouraging students’ knowl3 edge discovery with innovative pedagogical methods and tools. One interesting tool 4 is the board game. This research examines the efficacy of adopting transportation 5 board games as a tool in graduate-level transportation planning...

OBJECTIVE Climatic conditions may enable or deter active school transportation in many North American cities, but the topic remains largely overlooked in the existing literature. This study explores the effect of seasonal climate (i.e., fall versus winter) and weekly weather conditions (i.e., temperature, precipitation) on active travelling to school across different built and policy environmen...

expressed in this publication are those of the Author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of the Federal Highway Administration. Executive Summary Collecting cyclist and pedestrian activity data can be challenging due to data gaps and unique characteristics of active transportation that set it apart from other modes. Technological advances continue to improve data collection for demograp...

The aim of this article is to give a semi-technical and somewhat journalistic account of the contributions to the methods used for quantitative transportation planning by professors, researchers and graduate students who have been active at the Centre for Research on Transportation (CRT) of the University of Montreal since its inception.

OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of physical activity practice in adults and its association with sociodemographic and environmental factors. METHODS Data from the Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico (VIGITEL--Telephone-based Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases) were collected in 2006. All the 54,...

Despite a general consensus in the astronomical community that all quasars are located at the distances implied by their redshifts, a number of observations still challenge this interpretation, possibly indicating that some subpopulation of quasars may harbour significant redshift components not related to the expansion of the universe. It has been suggested that these objects may have been eje...
