Creating Resilient Transportation Systems (eBook, ePUB)

Policy, Planning, and Implementation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Creating Resilient Transportation Systems: Policy, Planning and Implementation demonstrates how the transportation sector is a leading producer of carbon emissions that result in climate change and extreme weather disruptions and disasters. In the book, Renne, Wolshon, Murray-Tuite, Pande and Kim demonstrate how to minimize the transportation impacts associated with these urban disasters, with an ultimate goal of returning them to at least status quo in the shortest feasible time.

• Assesses the short and long-term impacts of transportation systems on the natural environment at local, regional and global scales
• Examines transportation systems in relation to risk, vulnerability, adaptation, mitigation, sustainability, climate change and livability
• Shows how urban transportation investments in transit, walking and bicycling result in significantly lower per capita carbon emissions when compared to investing in sprawling, automobile dependent regions

Autorenporträt

Dr. John L. Renne, AICP is the Director of the Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions (CUES) and an Associate Professor in the School of Urban and Regional Planning at Florida Atlantic University. He is also an Honorary Research Associate at the University of Oxford. Dr. Renne's research focuses on creating sustainable, resilient and livable cities, with a focus on land development and transportation infrastructure. Dr. Renne is an author and editor of Transit-Oriented Development: Making It Happen (Ashgate, 2009), Transport Beyond Oil: Policy Choices for a Multimodal Future (Island Press, 2013). He chairs the Transportation and Land Development Committee for the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies and he serves on many committees and boards of nonprofit and professional associations.Brian Wolshon, Ph.D. P.E., PTOE, is the Edward A. and Karen Wax Schmitt Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering at Louisiana State University and the founding Director of the US DOT sponsored Gulf Coast Research Center for Evacuation and Transportation Resiliency. Dr. Wolshon is an internationally recognized expert on evacuation, emergency, and resilient traffic planning and management. For 20 years, he also chaired the Transportation Research Board's Committee on Emergency Evacuation. Over his career Dr. Wolshon has served as an expert consultant to dozens of federal, state, and local government agencies; national laboratories; and engineering firms throughout the United States and abroad. He has authored scores of federal reports and guidance documents as well as book chapters and more than 70 scientific journal papers on topics related to transportation planning and engineering. Among the most notable of these are Large-scale Evacuation: The Analysis, Modeling, and Management of Emergency Relocation from Hazardous Areas and the 7th Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Traffic Engineering Handbook.Dr. Anurag Pande is Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at Cal Poly State University. At Cal Poly he also holds the position of Faculty Liaison for Community based Learning. His role involves engaging the municipal leadership (e.g., City Managers, CEOs of local Air Pollution Control Districts among others) on a variety of issues ranging from resilience, sustainability, and environmental justice to facilitate the partnership between faculty and community partners for integrating community based projects into the Cal Poly curriculum. He is member of the TRB committee on Emergency Evacuation (ABR30) and Safety Data Analysis and Evaluation (ANB20).He is the Editor of the recently released 7th Edition of the Traffic Engineering Handbook for ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers). The current edition of the handbook, for the first time, goes beyond the traditional automobile-centric solutions and provide the decision makers and professionals with the tools to integrate complete street infrastructure addressing the needs of all modes into the urban and suburban environments.
