Book excerpt: El principal objetivo del proyecto QUITS ha sido la mejora de la toma de decisión en el sector transportes, mediante la comparación de la calidad de las diferentes alternativas modales de los itinerarios interurbanos. Se basa en la idea de que la calidad de un sistema de transporte depende de variables internas (costes directos, tiempo de transporte) y externas (costes medioambientales, sociales y externos). QUITS cubre todos los modos de transporte tanto de viajeros como de mercancías. El libro consta de 5 capítulos. El primero describe los aspectos generales de la medida de la calidad, y define las principales variables a considerar y su valor en el proceso de cuantificación. El capítulo segundo estudia la metodología para la evaluación de la calidad interna de los sistemas de transporte interurbano. Se muestra la importancia del tiempo de transporte y se analizan los costes internos. El capítulo tercero se centra en la evaluación de la calidad externa: externalidades del transporte y su incidencia en la política de precios. Se identifican y analizan los costes externos (contaminación, emisiones, ruido, accidentes, impacto medioambiental...) mediante el uso de nuevos modelos, y se cuantifican los costes externos en términos monetarios. El capítulo cuarto se dedica a la presentación de los resultados obtenidos de la aplicación de la metodología QUITS a tres itinerarios interurbanos europeos: Milán-Frankfurt, Londres-Lille y Munich-Patras. Se miden todos los indicadores físicos y monetarios para cada uno de esos corredores y para todos los modos de transporte disponibles en ellos, de forma que se pueda valorar cada una de las alternativas. Se publican los resultados obtenidos en una serie de tablas y gráficos, mostrando que los costes externos del transporte de mercancías por carretera son nueve veces mayores que los del transporte ferroviario (11 veces para las mercancías) y aproximadamente el doble que los del transporte aéreo. Finalmente, el capítulo cinco ofrece las principales conclusiones y recomendaciones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A transportation indicator is a measure of change over time in the transportation system or in its social, economic, environmental, or other effects. Two National Research Council (NRC) studies recommended, as a matter of high priority, that the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) in the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) develop a consistent, easily understood, and useful set of key indicators of the transportation system. The NRC's Committee on National Statistics and its Transportation Research Board, which conducted these studies, convened a workshop on June 13, 2000. The purpose of the Workshop on Transportation Indicators was to discuss issues relating to transportation indicators and provide the Bureau of Transportation Statistics with new ideas for issues to address.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a collection of research works on the continuing requirement for better urban transport systems, this volume consists of papers presented at the 24th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. The need for better urban transport systems and for a healthier environment has resulted in a wide range of research originating from many different countries. These studies highlight the importance of innovative systems, new approaches and original ideas, which need to be thoroughly tested and critically evaluated before they can be implemented in practice. Moreover, there is a growing need for integration with telecommunications systems and IT applications in order to improve safety, security and efficiency. This book also addresses the need to solve important pollution problems associated with urban transport in order to achieve a healthier environment. The variety of topics covered in this volume reflects the complex interaction of the urban transport systems with their environment and the need to establish integrated strategies. The aim is to arrive at optimal socio-economic solutions while reducing the negative environmental impacts of current transportation systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Transportation Quality of Service: Factors, Models, and Applications is the first book to help researchers better understand the contributing factors that can improve public transportation perception among users. The book compiles in one place metrics currently dispersed in journal articles, government publications and book chapters. It critically analyzes currently available modeling methodologies such as the Ordered Logit/Probit model and Models of Structural Equations, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. The book addresses models of desired quality, including the views of users and non-users, discussing the gap between desired and perceived quality. The book also examines data mining approaches such as decision trees and neural networks, showing how to involve the public in the decision-making process to create policies that encourage public transport demand. Measuring passenger's views on public transportation is of critical concern to promote wider transit use in cities around the world. - Includes insights from both theoretical and practical points of view for both researchers and practitioners - Features case studies in each chapter that apply models discussed - Helps readers develop and design their own studies for measuring quality of service - Shows how to include perceived quality in contracts - Provides access to the survey formulas and data to better enable implementation of models

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this encyclopedia is to provide a comprehensive reference work on scientific and other scholarly research on the quality of life, including health-related quality of life research or also called patient-reported outcomes research. Since the 1960s two overlapping but fairly distinct research communities and traditions have developed concerning ideas about the quality of life, individually and collectively, one with a fairly narrow focus on health-related issues and one with a quite broad focus. In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence. What we have not had so far is a single, multidimensional reference work connecting the most salient and important contributions to the relevant fields. Entries are organized alphabetically and cover basic concepts, relatively well established facts, lawlike and causal relations, theories, methods, standardized tests, biographic entries on significant figures, organizational profiles, indicators and indexes of qualities of individuals and of communities of diverse sizes, including rural areas, towns, cities, counties, provinces, states, regions, countries and groups of countries.

Download or read book Bus Transport written by David A. Hensher and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bus is the most patronised of all land–based public passenger mode but is seen as a somewhat unglamorous means of supporting mobility and accessibility, in contrast to rail – heavy and light, yet offers so much to the travelling public as well as offering attractive sustainability opportunities. This book reflects the author's perspective on issues of importance to the preservation and health of the bus sector. The twenty one chapters cover the themes of institutional reform, performance measurement and monitoring, service quality, costing and pricing of services including commercial and non-commercial contracts, travel choice and demand, integrated bus-based systems, and public transport policy, especially challenges in growing patronage.
