In Indian context.
Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.
This co-edited book focuses on the state-of-the-art research in transportation in India. Exploring the need for a sustainable transport paradigm in India, this timely book offers solution concepts for mobility and infrastructure challenges faced by local, state, and national transport authorities. The contents provide a holistic understanding of the paradigm, considering several case-studies and study findings from the leading transportation researchers in India. At the same time, it also addresses the pressing transportation related challenges such as road user safety, traffic operation efficiency, economic and social development, non-motorized transport planning, environmental impact mitigation, energy consumption reduction, land-use, equity, freight transport planning, multimodal coordination, access for the diverse range of travellers’ needs, sustainable pavement construction, and emerging vehicle technologies. The existing practices and policies in all the sectors and levels of transport are highlighted in this book with an emphasis on a broader vision for achieving sustainable and inclusive development. The information and data-driven inferences compiled in the book will be useful for practitioners, policymakers, educators, researchers, students, and individual learners.
The Study Of The Role Of Transport In Geography, Including Patterns And Modes Of Transportation Quantitative Studies Of The Movement Of Goods And People And Relationship Between Transport And Other Geographic Factors Is An Emerging Branch Or Economic Geography. In Transport Geography The Geographers Attempt To Examine (I) Network Studies To Explain The Geographic Pattern Of Transport (Roads, Railways, Canals), (Ii) Study Of Transport Terminals, I.E Ports And Airports, (Iii) Studies Of Movement Of Commodities Involving The Transport Flow Analysis, And (Iv) The Movement Of People At The Local, Regional, National And International Levels. A Legion Of Literature Has Been Produced In These Areas Of Transport Geography But That A Scattered In Numerous Periodicals And Journals, And Thus Not Easily Accessible.The Present Book Containing Fifteen Well Documented Research Papers Is Unique In The Sense That Its Papers Give A Clear Idea Of The Basic Concepts Of Transport Geography, Present The Growth And Evolution Of This Field Give An Insight In The Transport Models And Reveal Regional Patterns Of Transport In The European, American And South Asian Countries. The Main Attractions Of The Volume Are: Trade And Its Routes Industry And The Web Of Transportation Projection Of International Passenger Flows Transport And Trade In Manufacturing Goods Potential Transport Cost And Market Potential Geography Of International Trade And Transport Transport Network Evolution In N.W. India Economics Base Of Commodity Flow Transport For Industry And Mathematical Transport Models .
