Opis: Sustainable Transportation Systems Engineering - Mark Turnquist, Largus Angenent, Francis Vanek

A single-volume engineering text on sustainable options for transportation Sustainable Transportation Systems Engineering offers timely coverage of the role of transportation in sustainable development, the emergence of alternative fuels, and the relationship between electric vehicles and the smart grid. The book presents a systems approach to solving transportation problems and covers technology considerations, modeling of consumer choice, passenger transportation, and freight transportation. System-wide transportation issues, such as energy security, air quality, and emergency planning, are also discussed. This comprehensive resource features equations, worked-out examples, case studies, and end-of-chapter problems. Coverage includes: Providing access to amenities and goods movement without excessive congestion Meeting transportation demand without excessive financial cost Assuring access to a transportation energy supply for the long term Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other negative ecological impacts Intramodal and intermodal transportation Developing alternative fuels and power delivery platforms Urban air quality Transportation security Hazardous transportation managementPart I - Overview Ch 1.
