CiNii Books - Urban transport VII : urban transport and the environment in the 21st century

Current research on urban transport and the environment is as important as it is varied, while the issues involved are complex and often inter-related. Containing the proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century, this volume addresses the environmentally effective integration of various modes of transport. The contributions come from researchers currently working around the world in government, academia and industry to understand the issues and to develop solutions. The international nature of the problem is therefore emphasized. 70 papers are included and these are grouped under the following headings: general transport systems; railway systems; town planning; economic and social impact; simulation systems; information systems; pollution and the environment; noise; safety; energy efficiency; vehicle technology; and Barcelona case studies.
