Book Synopsis Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics by : Richard D. Peacock
Download or read book Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics written by Richard D. Peacock and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-29 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aging population, increasing obesity and more people with mobility impairments are bringing new challenges to the management of routine and emergency people movement in many countries. These population challenges, coupled with the innovative designs being suggested for both the built environment and other commonly used structures (e.g., transportation systems) and the increasingly complex incident scenarios of fire, terrorism, and large-scale community disasters, provide even greater challenges to population management and safety. Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics, an edited volume, is based on the Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics (PED) 5th International 2010 conference, March 8th-10th 2010, located at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA. This volume addresses both pedestrian and evacuation dynamics and associated human behavior to provide answers for policy makers, designers, and emergency management to help solve real world problems in this rapidly developing field. Data collection, analysis, and model development of people movement and behavior during nonemergency and emergency situations will be covered as well.
Book Synopsis Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics 2012 by : Ulrich Weidmann
Download or read book Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics 2012 written by Ulrich Weidmann and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 1380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 6th International Conference on Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics (PED2012) showcased research on human locomotion. This book presents the proceedings of PED2012. Humans have walked for eons; our drive to settle the globe began with a walk out of Africa. However, much remains to discover. As the world moves toward sustainability while racing to assess and accommodate climate change, research must provide insight on the physical requirements of walking, the dynamics of pedestrians on the move and more. We must understand, predict and simulate pedestrian behaviour, to avoid dangerous situations, to plan for emergencies, and not least, to make walking more attractive and enjoyable. PED2012 offered 70 presentations and keynote talks as well as 70 poster presentations covering new and improved mathematical models, describing new insights on pedestrian behaviour in normal and emergency cases and presenting research based on sensors and advanced observation methods. These papers offer a starting point for innovative new research, building a strong foundation for the next conference and for future research.

This book was released on 2021-09-08 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book helps the reader to identify how different organizations in the context of diverse societies deploy their resources and leverage their capabilities to achieve better performance of its various labor skills, marketing, social responsibility and management capacity. Intelligent Logistics is a complex phenomenon that has become critical for companies to reach their development locally and internationally. On the one hand, macro-factors and market structure influence in business competitiveness, but also in a regional or sector context. The internal aspects and the use of various business tools contribute to the ability to create value in an organization. It is of utmost importance to understand the relevance of crucial aspects in the technological future that should be known and implemented by the Z generation of its incidence in the use of organizational models linked to artificial intelligence. Every innovative aspect in the use of new technologies for the distribution of goods and services will be crucial in a globalized world. An avant-garde society will require improved decision-making regarding Logistics 4.0 and its implementation in our lives respecting the environment and being sustainable together with invaluable principles of generating tacit knowledge for future generations.
Book Synopsis Built Environment and Walking & Cycling Around Metro Stations by : Yanan Liu
Download or read book Built Environment and Walking & Cycling Around Metro Stations written by Yanan Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationship between pedestrians/cyclists’ mode and route choice to/from metro/railway stations and the micro-level (street-scale) built environment in a second-tier city in China. More specifically, it investigates how the street-scale built environment influences pedestrians/cyclists’ mode choice and route choice behavior and examines user preferences for the micro-level built environment around metro stations. The focus on a second-tier city is motivated primarily to expand the set of Chinese cities where the effects of the built environment on pedestrian/cyclist mode and route choice have been studied. Results demonstrate the effects of the street-scale built environment on pedestrian flows. The effects are higher for the main road, which is directly connected with the metro station. The findings of this book are expected to support the design of preferred walking/biking built environments around a metro station. This book appeals to urbanists, planners, engineers, policy makers, and those interested in a wide-ranging overview of slow/green transportation and built environment promotion. These methods not only help to understand the quantitative relationship between built environment design and travel behavior but also support the evaluation and assessment of built environment design in urban planning projects. It reduces the gap in our understanding of the quantitative relationship between the micro-level built environment and pedestrians/cyclists’ transportation mode and route choice around the metro station. Both stated choice data and revealed choice data were used. An extended set of micro-level built environment attributes was developed. Besides the widely studied transportation-related factors, street-level built environment factors were studied using quantitative methods.
Book Synopsis Collisions Engineering: Theory and Applications by : Michel Frémond
Download or read book Collisions Engineering: Theory and Applications written by Michel Frémond and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates collisions occurring in the motion of solids, in the motion of fluids but also in the motion of pedestrians in crowds. The duration of these presented collisions is short compared to the whole duration of the motion: they are assumed instantaneous. The innovative concept demonstrated in this book is that a system made of two solids, is deformable because their relative position changes. The definition of the velocities of deformation of the system introduced in the classical developments of mechanics, the principle of the virtual work and the laws of thermodynamics, allows a large range of applications such as crowd motions, debris flow motions, and shape memory alloys motions. The set of the applications is even larger: social sciences and mechanics are unified to predict the motion of crowds with application to transport management and to evacuation of theaters management.
