Publisher's Synopsis
A continuous requirement for better urban transport systems & the need for a healthier environment has resulted in an increasing demand for new solutions. Innovative systems, new approaches & original ideas need to be thoroughly tested & critically evaluated before they can be implemented in practice. Moreover, there is a growing need for integration with telecommunications systems & IT applications in order to improve safety, security & efficiency. This volume 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 by the included research works, which were presented at the 26th International Conference on Urban Transport & the Environment, reflect the complex interaction of urban transport systems with their environment & the need to establish integrated strategies.
