This collection, of contributions reviewed by international experts, covers: Road and Railway Engineering, Transportation Planning, Construction and Operation Organization, Modern Logistics System Planning and Optimization, Vehicle Engineering, Carrier Operation Engineering, ITS Theory and Applications, Traffic Control and Information Technology, Transportation and Social Economic Development, Low-Carbon Transportation Technology and Urban Transportation Planning and Management. 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.
