Non-Motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa
Author: Winnie V. Mitullah
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317086988
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
What challenges do pedestrians and cyclists face in cities of the developing world? What opportunities do these cities have to provide for walking and cycling? Based on in-depth research conducted in Cape Town (South Africa), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Nairobi (Kenya), this book explores these questions by presenting work on walking and cycling travel behaviour, the status of road safety in these cities, as well as an analysis of the infrastructure for walking and cycling, and the workings of the institutions responsible for planning for these modes. The book also presents case studies relating to particular opportunities and challenges, such as the development and evaluation of ‘walking bus’ interventions, and the opportunities micro-simulation of pedestrian interventions offers within a data-scarce environment. Non-motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa demonstrates that transport and urban planning remains situated in a logic of automobile-dependent transport planning and global city development. This logic of practice does not pay adequate attention to walking and cycling. It argues that a significant shift in both policy as well as political commitment is needed so as to prioritize walking and cycling as strategies for sustainable transport policy in urban Africa. This book will be a key text for practitioners and policy makers working in planning, transport policy and urban development in Africa, as well as students and scholars of African studies, development studies, urban geography, transport studies and sustainable development.

The Role of Infrastructure for a Safe Transition to Automated Driving
Author: Adriano Alessandrini
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128230894
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
The Role of Infrastructure for a Safe Transition to Automated Driving contextualizes the latest vehicle and road automation research and technology, focusing on the future role of road infrastructures. The book analyzes the problems an uncontrolled transition will pose and examines ways forward, covering risk, safety, and the influence of human factors in automated vehicles. Automated transport researchers, traffic engineers, and transport and city planners will find the book to be a great resource for addressing the complexity of the period during which both human-driven and automated cars will coexist. This integrated vision of different approaches to vehicle automation will help move the technology forward in a thought-provoking manner. - Introduces the SAE standard, the levels of automation it defines, and the concept of new road infrastructures - Addresses infrastructural and governance challenges and opportunities for automated vehicles - Includes learning tools such as chapters overviews, summaries, and a glossary

Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
The economic and social impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been dramatic, and transport has played a central role in its spread. The transport sector has also enabled essential workers to get to work during the pandemic and will support the needs of the population throughout the different stages of recovery. This guidance note presents (i) the impacts of the pandemic on social and travel behaviors in Asia and the Pacific, and how the transport sector is responding; and (ii) guiding principles and good practices in transport operations to support economic recovery.
