It provides many valuable insights. Review from Book News Inc.: The first volume in this two-volume set from the October 2011 conference presents recent research on road and railway engineering, maintenance, transportation planning, construction materials, and operational organization. Three papers from the Harbin Institute of Technology analyze the reserve capacity of city road networks under winter conditions, traffic flow characteristics during snow and ice, and the possibility of applying fault tolerance to traffic safety. The second volume explores modern logistics system planning, vehicle design, carrier operations, traffic control, economic development, low carbon technology, and urban planning. Container terminal unloading operations are optimized with the genetic algorithm and the aerodynamics of a minibus are simulated. Other topics of the 263 papers include prediction of soft soil foundation settlement, a high temperature performance of an asphalt mixture, passenger behavior during emergency evacuation of a subway station, and coordinated ramp metering based on ant colony optimization.

This book provides a systematic analysis, modeling and evaluation of the performance of advanced transport systems. It offers an innovative approach by presenting a multidimensional examination of the performance of advanced transport systems and transport modes, useful for both theoretical and practical purposes. Advanced transport systems for the twenty-first century are characterized by the superiority of one or several of their infrastructural, technical/technological, operational, economic, environmental, social and policy performances as compared to their conventional counterparts. The advanced transport systems considered include: Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) systems in urban area(s), electric and fuel cell passenger cars, high speed tilting trains, High Speed Rail (HSR), Trans Rapid Maglev (TRM), Evacuated Tube Transport system (ETT), advanced commercial subsonic and Supersonic Transport Aircraft (STA), conventionally- and Liquid Hydrogen (LH2)-fuelled commercial air transportation, advanced Air Traffic Control (ATC) technologies and procedures for increasing the airport runway capacity, Underground Freight Transport (UFT) systems in urban area(s), Long Intermodal Freight Train(s) (LIFTs), road mega trucks, large advanced container ships and freight/cargo aircraft and advanced freight/goods collection distribution networks. This book is intended for postgraduates, researchers, professionals and policy makers working in the transport industry.
Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of Chinese Transportation Professionals, held in Nanjing, China, August 14-17, 2011. Organized by Chinese Overseas Transportation Association (COTA); Southeast University. Sponsored by the Transportation & Development Institute of ASCE; National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). This collection contains 434 peer-reviewed papers discussing critical transportation issues, sharing experience in transportation research and development, and exchanging ideas for future transportation studies. Topics include: transportation policy and economics; transportation planning and modeling; traffic operations, management, and control; intelligent transportation systems (ITS); traffic safety and emergency response; transportation and sustainability; transit and rail systems; transportation infrastructure design and construction; pavement and materials engineering, and highway maintenance; logistics and freight transportation; vehicle technologies; and water transportation and aviation.
This collection of papers, approved by international reviewers, covers the subject areas of Structural Engineering, Monitoring and Control of Structures, Structural Rehabilitation, Retrofitting and Strengthening, Reliability and Durability of Structures, Computational Mechanics, Construction Technology, Computer Simulation and CAD/CAE and Engineering Management. The volume offers a timely survey of these topics. Review from Book News Inc.: Some 370 papers were presented in four simultaneous tracks on advances in civil engineering, advances in structural engineering, advanced transportation, and architecture and building materials. More specific areas are structural engineering, monitoring and control of structures, structural rehabilitation, retrofitting and strengthening, reliability and durability of structures, computational mechanics, construction technology, computer simulation and computer-aided design and engineering, and engineering management. Among individual papers are discussions such as the computational analysis of point-supported full-glass roof structure, economic evaluation and decision research on urban heating modes in the north, the wind-induced response analysis of double-layer cylindrical lattice shells, residual stress analysis by multiple sequential coupling for non-scallop welding joints, and the quantitative analysis of ventilation network reliability assessments. The three volumes are paged and indexed together.
