Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has many special characteristics, such as low pressure and hypoxia, complex geological conditions, fragile ecological environment, and various bad weather conditions, which exerts a negative effect on highway construction and traffic safety. It is a huge challenge to build a safe and environment-friendly highway on the Tibetan Plateau due to lacking of mature experience around the world. Therefore, this book was supported by the National Science and Technology Support Program: highway construction technology in high altitude and cold regions to research the critical indicators and technologies. This book focuses on the driving behavior and typical vehicle characteristics in the high altitude area to put forward a series of geometrical indicators and traffic safety improvement measures, based on a great number of ground tests. Moreover, the relative achievements were applied to the demonstration project and validate the feasibility of indicators and countermeasures. It is of practical and leading significance for highway construction and improving the traffic level in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

This book vividly shows the fostering environment, activity characteristics, distribution pattern, economic losses, casualties, disaster risks and management of earthquakes, mass movement, drought, floods, and marine disasters in the Silk Road region. It develops a multi-scale and multi-disaster risk assessment method to better assess and understand the Silk Road disaster risk. A multi-level collaborative risk management model has been proposed for transboundary disasters, and it also shares case studies on major disaster risk management. The book makes a major step forward to increase the understanding of the disaster risk of the Silk Road region. It presents a holistic understanding of the natural hazards and their induced disaster risks and is a valuable read for scholars, stakeholders and practitioners in the DRR community.
