Just as the populations around the Mediterranean developed and evolved a life-sustaining diet for the body, they have also been grounded in a spirituality which has fed their inner being for millennia. This in no way diminishes what other regions and societies around the world have contributed. However, the Mediterranean has a unique place historically, geographically, politically, and spiritually. It is also well-documented, and archaeologists continue to unearth fragments of its rich history.

Mobility Patterns, Big Data and Transport Analytics: Tools and Applications for Modeling, Second Edition provides a guide to the new analytical framework and its relation to big data, focusing on capturing, predicting, visualizing, and controlling mobility patterns-a key aspect of transportation modeling. The book features prominent international experts who provide overviews on new analytical frameworks, applications, and concepts in mobility analysis and transportation systems. Fields covered are evolving rapidly, and this new edition updates existing material and provides new chapters that reflect recent developments in the field (such as the emergence of active, transfer and reinforcement learning). Users will find a detailed, mobility ‘structural’ analysis and a look at the extensive behavioral characteristics of transport, observability requirements, limitations for realistic transportation applications, and transportation systems analysis that are related to complex processes and phenomena. This book bridges the gap between big data, data science, and transportation systems analysis with a study of big data’s impact on mobility and an introduction to the tools necessary to apply new techniques.

Reinventing Transit for the 21st Century addresses the critical state of urban transit systems in the U.S., exacerbated by declining ridership and looming fiscal challenges post-COVID. The book advocates for substantial reforms, including transitioning to contracted services, fostering competition, and redesigning transit boards to emphasize expertise over politics. It also calls for integrating various service modes and adopting new technologies to reduce costs and enhance the rider experience. Spanning 10 chapters, the book begins with an overview of current transit systems and the factors behind their decline. It outlines a vision for modern transit, focusing on customer needs, service redesign, complementary services like bike-sharing, funding mechanisms, and international lessons on contracting. Governance improvements and the role of technology are also discussed, with a concluding chapter presenting a model 21st-century transit system. Accessible to political leaders, transit executives, researchers, planners, and riders, the book includes a glossary for clarity. It emphasizes the importance of serving transit-dependent riders, often from lower-income Communities of Color, to boost ridership and provide essential services. This book is essential for anyone invested in the future of urban transit.

Reinventing Transit for the 21st Century

The climate crisis poses a threat to life on the planet, with human health, ecosystem, and economic impacts globally. These impacts are projected to worsen in the future, as greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and warming to date continues to produce adverse effects. For example, in 2022 alone, the United States experienced 18 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, totaling $165.1 billion. With the transportation sector being a leading source of emissions, it is essential that immediate steps are taken to decarbonize transportation and to continue to invest in the research needed for our decarbonization commitments to be met. Global Pathways to Net-Zero: Behavioral, Social, and Technological Research and Innovation Strategies for Transportation Decarbonization: Summary of the Seventh EU-U.S. Transportation Research Symposium: Proceedings of a Symposium, from the Transportation Research Board, summarizes a symposium held June 11-12, 2024, in Washington, DC. It was hosted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the European Commission, and TRB.

GOOGLE MAPS FOR BEGINNERS

Based on Paul von Fange's monumental book, Scenicruising: The Greyhound Scenicruiser Story, this book focuses on Greyhound's first post-war attempt in 1948 at a larger capacity highway cruiser called GX-1. A true two-level coach, designed by Orville Caesar and Raymond Loewy, it seated 50 passengers in 3 compartments. Its innovations included twin 6-cylinder air-cooled Franklin aircraft engines coupled together and an air suspension system. Sadly, it only lasted a year!

'Scenicruiser' GX-1

Based on Paul von Fange's monumental book, Scenicruising: The Greyhound Scenicruiser Story, this book focuses on Greyhound's wildly successful bus, the Scenicruiser. Built by GM from 1954 to 1956, these 1001 coaches took the American public by storm. Traveling in air-conditioned and air suspension-comfort with panoramic windows everywhere (and a rest room!), these buses were in high demand. Based on what was learned with two prior experimental prototypes, they began with two 4-cylinder diesel engines coupled together which caused all sorts of excitement when needing to run on just one engine. A complete refurbishing and rebuild in the early 1960s saw the changeover to a single 8-cylinder diesel engine which propelled them for millions of miles during their remaining 15 years of service. And then, they went on to new lives elsewhere!

Managing Aviation Operations

Airports are dynamic infrastructure assets and organisations, which are subject to constant change as a result of increasing traffic, ownership changes, environmental, economic, safety and technological changes. Customers (airlines, passengers and freight organisations) and stakeholders (government, community) also put pressure on airports to change.This book examines the pressures to change faced by airports of different sizes, from small community airports to intercontinental mega-hubs, and will help readers to understand and anticipate the changes which will happen at airports with which they are involved. The objective of this book is to look at the broad value chain of airports and the roles of the various players within the value chain, examining how airports can manage their staff, stakeholders and customers, the ways in which governance and staffing models can be evolved to cope with the emerging challenges faced by the industry, and risks faced by airports, together with mitigation approaches. Each chapter ends with a series of questions which can be applied when considering a specific airport. The key target users of those questions are board members and investors, who need to grill management to ensure that they fully understand and appreciate the airport under consideration, but the questions will also be useful prompts for any reader of the book.This book has, therefore, been written for the person who is starting to work in or for the airport industry - as an airport employee, a board member, a regulator, a supplier of equipment or services to airports, an investor in airports, anyone engaged in non-aviation work such as airport retail or property development, or an airline staff member who has to deal with airports as a user.
