The rail-based transit system is a popular public transportation option, not just with members of the public but also with policy makers looking to install a form of convenient and rapid travel. Even for moving bulk freight long distances, a rail-based system is the most sustainable transportation system currently available. The Handbook of Research on Emerging Innovations in Rail Transportation Engineering presents the latest research on next-generation public transportation infrastructures. Emphasizing a diverse set of topics related to rail-based transportation such as funding issues, policy design, traffic planning and forecasting, and engineering solutions, this comprehensive publication is an essential resource for transportation planners, engineers, policymakers, and graduate-level engineering students interested in uncovering research-based solutions, recommendations, and examples of modern rail transportation systems.

The ventilation system is an important element for the safety of a tunnel, as well as its investment and operating costs. Investors, operators and designers of road tunnels bear a responsibility for the safety of persons, as well as for important investment decisions. The new Road Tunnel Ventilation Compendium fosters understanding of basic aspects of ventilation in the context of tunnel safety, describes the actual state of the art and shows how to design and realise safer tunnels, at lower costs, with reliably functioning systems.
