Abstract

The term ˜shipping' has evolved from its original relationship to ships and seaborne trade, to encompass any mode of transport that moves goods between two points. The implication of the extended meaning of ˜shipping' is that the shipping industry has become more complex, as well as more dynamic. Traditionally, the theory and knowledge of shipping management and operations are transferred in the workplace, from practitioners to newcomers; little has been systemically organized and published in books. Shipping and Logistics Management serves to consolidate the knowledge its authors have acquired from being educators and observers of the shipping industry. Against the background of a global business environment, it explains how the shipping market functions, examining the strategic and operational issues that affect entrepreneurs in this industry. The authors discuss global trends and strategies in the shipping business, looking at the role of logistics service providers and at how the use of information technology can help shipping operations. Shipping and Logistics Management also aims to answer several important questions in the shipping industry, including: ¢ What are the shipping markets? ¢ How are freight rates determined? ¢ What are the shipping cost structures? ¢ What are the patterns of sea transport? and ¢ How do companies in the shipping industry operate? An invaluable source of information for researchers and advanced, or graduate, students, Shipping and Logistics Management is also a useful reference for shipping practitioners and consultants.

Abstract

Over the past decade, the transport industry has been the target of growing criticism over its role in the pollution of the environment, while the advocates of free trade stress the importance of transport in enhancing economic growth and consequently living standards. These starkly contrasting viewpoints have created a dilemma for politicians and business people alike. In order to address this challenge, the first part of this book provides an empirical analysis of the relationship between transport and economic growth, or more specifically, whether the "decoupling" of transport and economic growth is possible. Focusing on growth-oriented transport policy, the second part of this book provides details on the user preferences of logistic managers concerning the characteristics of transport infrastructure and services.

Abstract

Ringland wil van Antwerpen een meer leefbare, duurzame en verkeersveilige stad maken.&#13;Honderden vrijwilligers en experts leveren daar samen met de burgerbeweging opmerkelijke inspanningen voor. Zo is in het vijfjarige bestaan van Ringland een breed draagvlak opgebouwd voor de overkapping van de Antwerpse Ring. Samen met Ademloos en stRaten-generaal kon Ringland ook enkele politieke doorbraken forceren, zoals voor een betere Oosterweelverbinding en de ‘modal shift’ naar duurzamer vervoer.&#13;‘Maar er is meer, veel meer’, oordeelt socioloog Luc Huyse (KU Leuven) in het voorwoord van Het Ringland Boek. ‘Er zijn met de aanpak van Ringland flinke stappen gezet in de richting van vernieuwing van de democratie. Meer bepaald in de gedaante van het Toekomstverbond tonen Ringland en co aan dat de inzet van burgerbewegingen uiteindelijk de slagkracht van de overheid ten goede komt.’&#13;Op een vrijwilligersdag van Ringland suggereerde professor Huyse Ringland daarom zijn ervaringen neer te schrijven. Want ‘vele actiegroepen, vele burgerbewegingen in Vlaanderen zijn op zoek naar een routeplanner, een draaiboek waarmee ze hun organisatie politieke invloed kunnen geven’.

Abstract

The NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Second Edition, is based on the experience of the best cycling cities in the world. Completely re-designed with an accessible, four-color layout, this second edition continues to build upon the fast-changing state of the practice at the local level. The designs in this book were developed by cities for cities, since unique urban streets require innovative solutions. To create the Guide, the authors conducted an extensive worldwide literature search from design guidelines and real-life experience. They worked closely with a panel of urban bikeway planning professionals from NACTO member cities and from numerous other cities worldwide, as well as traffic engineers, planners, and academics with deep experience in urban bikeway applications. The Guide offers substantive guidance for cities seeking to improve bicycle transportation in places where competing demands for the use of the right-of-way present unique challenges. First and foremost, the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Second Edition will help practitioners make good decisions about urban bikeway design. The treatments outlined in this updated Guide are based on real-life experience in the world's most bicycle friendly cities and have been selected because of their utility in helping cities meet their goals related to bicycle transportation. Praised by Former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood as an “extraordinary piece of work,” the Guide is an indispensable tool every planner must have for their daily transportation design work.
