This book is the first comprehensive volume on the emerging discipline of transport policing. The text reviews the major issues concerning security and policing of transportation facilities and provides a framework for informed decision making. Topics include commuter rail and subway crime; maritime, port and cargo security; airport crime transportation terrorism; illegal drugs in transit, hazardous cargo, public bus and rail terminal crime and the special issues of homeless and mentally ill persons in transport centers. The book serves as a valuable resource for managers and command level staff at transit, railway, airport, and seaport police departments; police agencies with transport facilities in their jurisdiction; transportation facility managers; students and universities with programs in criminal justice, police science, government, public administration, transportation, and urban planning; police academies; and government departments of transportation. The text represents years of research, field interviews, teaching experience, administration, and program development in providing administrators and police with a framework for developing strategies to protect their facilities and patrons from current and future security risks.

This report documents and presents the research approach used in the development of the guidelines for the Public Transportation Facilities and Equipment Management System (PTMS). The research agency conducted a representative survey of stakeholders who are involved in developing a PTMS in various states, and combined this information with the latest advances in facilities management systems to develop a set of guidelines appropriate to states and transit agencies of all modes and scales. A step by step procedure for developing a PTMS is outlined in the guidelines, along with additional industry sources for measures and standards, and examples of analytical methods for evaluating the data collected.

This book includes the proceedings of the 19th International Scientific Conference “Energy Management of Municipal Transportation Facilities and Transport EMMFT 2017”, which was held in Khabarovsk, Russia on 10–13 April 2017. The book presents the research findings of scientists working at universities in the Far Eastern, Siberian and Ural Federal Districts of Russia, and of Serbia, which are unique regions notable for sustainably operating complex transport infrastructures in severe climatic and geographic environments. It also offers practical insights into transportation operation under such conditions.The book discusses the experiences of colleagues from Slovenia, Ukraine and Latvia in the development of transport infrastructure and construction of transport facilities and features and includes the results of a wide range of studies, such as managing multimodal transportation, improving the efficiency of locomotives, electric locomotives, traction substations, electrical substations, relay protection and automation devices, and power-factor correction units. It addresses topics like renewable energy sources, problems of the mathematical and simulation modelling of electromagnetic processes of electrical power objects and systems, aspects of cost reduction for fuel-and-power resources, theoretical aspects of energy management, development of transport infrastructure, modern organizational and technological solutions in construction, new approaches in the field of management, analysis and monitoring in transport sector.Comprising 142 high-quality articles covering a wide range of topics, these proceedings are of interest to anyone engaged in transport engineering, electric power systems, energy management, construction and operation of transport infrastructure buildings and facilities.

This synthesis will be of interest to highway design engineers, maintenance engineers, environmental personnel, administrators, and others responsible for the design, operation, and maintenance of stormwater management for highways and ancillary facilities. Information is presented on the basic hydrology needed to assess stormwater impacts and on the effectiveness of stormwater management techniques. Designers of highway facilities must consider stormwater management requirements within the context of both localized runoff impacts, as well as downstream effects of runoff. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the management of both stormwater quantity and stormwater quality. Stormwater quantity includes an overview of methods of estimating runoff and management control practices. Stormwater quality management includes discussions of the most prevalent pollutants and best management practices (BMP) to minimize pollutants from transportation facilities. Various types of structural and non-structural methods are described, including their design considerations and efficiencies. Several stormwater management models are described, with special concern for highway applications. Highlights from the 1990 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits are presented.
