Transportation

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced tourism practitioners to create efficient strategies to attract travelers. Using three theoretical frameworks, such as tourist trust , travel constraint, and extended theory of planned behavior, we develop a comprehensive framework to explain the impact of travel promoting, restricting, and attitudinal factors on travel decision during and after the pandemic.

Whereas, on April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Beall, Chapter 5 Statutes of 2017) known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, and created the Solutions for Congested Corridors Program to fund projects that make specific performance improvements and are part of a comprehensive corridor plan designed to reduce congestion in highly traveled corridors by providing more transportation choices while preserving the character of local community and creating opportunities for neighborhood enhancement projects ...

Food supply chains connect heavily dependent producers and consumers throughout the globe, often with just-in-time delivery. Many of these critical supply chains have been disrupted, or are threatened to be disrupted, by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the face of the COVID-19 crisis, the County must strengthen its commitment to sustainability, equity, and resilience in order to create a pathway for investment in a safe, healthy, and inclusive future.

The news out of INRIX last week was not wholly unexpected. Just two months after hitting near-record lows, vehicle traffic in the US has already made up a majority of its pre-covid volume, with similar shifts being measured in several countries around the world.

It might be tempting, given these developments, to think that the “next normal” in urban mobility and sustainability is looking a lot like the “old normal”—but thankfully that’s not the full picture.

The transition to a post-COVID world is not going to be as simple as offering more micromobility options than before. How can service providers look to fill the void that COVID-19 has created?

The world is dealing environmental pollution issues caused by exhaust emissions,including hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter from vehicles using traditional fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, and these were expected to significantly increase by 2020.

Los Angeles Aerial Rapid Transit (LA ART) is a proposed gondola system that can connect Los Angeles Union Station to Dodger Stadium in 7 minutes.

In this short paper, I assess how COVID‐19‐related disruptions in transportation services, as well as new demands for transportation services, could impact Canadian agricultural supply chains.

The COVID-19 pandemic poses a great challenge for contemporary public transportation worldwide, resulting from an unprecedented decline in demand and revenue.

This article reflects on five lessons that COVID-19 is teaching us about what it means to develop sustainably through the lens of transportation:

In this editorial, we intend to discern some lessons for the transportation engineering profession that can be learned from the current catastrophe that can help us prepare for future disruptions.

The transportation industry is an integral component of the economy and a common tool used for development. This is even more so in a global economy where economic opportunities have been increasingly related to the mobility of people and freight, including information and communications technologies.

Passenger transportation systems are one of the major concerns in addressing the ongoing threats of emergent highly infectious diseases. This article highlights common ways for diseases to be transmitted in a public transportation context and methods that might be adopted or further researched to reduce the spread.

Reducing human presence in vehicles and transportation infrastructure is a common concept of Intelligent Transportation Systems and COVID-19 guidelines. However, the motivation for the reduced human presence is different.

Transportation revenue has plummeted because user fees produce a large share of resources needed to operate California’s transportation system.

Cities across the nation are looking for new and innovative approaches to reduce emissions from their transportation systems. Adopting an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy allows cities to utilize multiple clean fuel solutions so municipal fleets can choose the fuel that works best for their unique operations.

Using BYD’s advanced, fully autonomous SkyRailTM technology, a state-of-the-art elevated monorail system from the Valley to LAX can be built in about four years (after all the environmental permits, studies and clearances are completed).

Well-being and distributive justice after natural events are quantified. Quantification is through novel connectivity-based metrics. The presented metrics are probabilistic. The procedure is applied to the transportation network of Seaside, OR. The procedure is general and applicable to different communities.

The brief analysis reveals that agricultural access to bulk ocean freight, rail movement, and trucking has generally improved in the pandemic, bolstered by the reduced demand for these transportation services by other sectors of the economy.

The COVID-19 pandemic poses a great challenge for contemporary public transportation worldwide, resulting from an unprecedented decline in demand and revenue.

The development of land transportation has effectively contributed to countries’ economic and social development. Roads, rails and vehicles have come into widespread use in transporting things from one location to another on land.

The volume and availability of data in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) result in the need for data-driven approaches. Big Data algorithms are applied to further enhance the intelligence of the applications in the transportation field.

Various fields and commercial sectors have witnessed a transformation with the advent of the internet. In the last decade, the retail sector in particular has witnessed the massive growth of e-commerce.

Whereas the importance of transportation for economic growth is widely acknowledged, past studies on the resilience of regions to economic shocks have not given explicit attention to the role of transportation accessibility on building robust regional economies.

California has been leading the charge to get more zero emission vehicles on the road in support of statewide goals to improve air quality and combat climate change. Electric vehicle (EV) deployments, particularly in the medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sectors that are largely dependent on petroleum-based fuels, are critical for the state to meet its climate-related goals as transportation is the single largest source of greenhouse gases, according to the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

H₂ storage in compressed form is the commercially viable technology at present. Critical cost factors in H₂ storage, transportation and distribution are provided.
