ITF: Mobility and the value of time
2/6/2020 3:22:21 PM
Potential changes in individual mobility practices and use of time induced by technologies is examined in Mobility Practices, Value of Time and Transport Appraisal , a report from the International Transport Forum. Value of time is closely tied to the reliability of travel time, the comfort of travel conditions and other specific characteristics of the journey, which may affect utility during travel.
ITF: Risk in economic models
1/25/2020 7:01:56 AM
Public-private partnerships are compared to the regulatory asset base model in Risk Allocation in Public-Private Partnerships and the Regulatory Asset Base Model , a report from the International Transport Forum. This report specifically looks at these models from a risk and risk-allocation perspective.
ICCT: Nitrogen oxide emissions
1/23/2020 7:01:56 AM
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from heavy-duty diesel vehicles in the United States are assessed in Current State of NOx Emissions From In-Use Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles in the United States , a report from the International Council on Clean Transportation. NOx emissions are a significant contributor to ambient air quality issues and ozone pollution in the United States.
PIARC: Global safety interventions
1/17/2020 3:51:11 PM
Various interventions to improve road safety throughout the world are described in Catalogue of Case Studies , a report from the World Road Association. The report focuses on interventions among vulnerable road users, human factors, and low- and middle-income countries. It is available for no fee after signing into the site.
TOI: Battery electric options for passenger and freight rail
1/15/2020 3:51:11 PM
The global maturity and market status of battery electric and fuel cell technology is discussed in Battery Electric and Fuel Cell Trains , a report from the Institute of Transport Economics at the Norwegian Centre for Transport Research. Cities and regions may deploy battery electric and fuel cell technologies to improve air quality and reduce noise in the cases when rail sections and tracks are not electrified.
ITF: Identifying economic regulations in transportation
12/27/2019 7:31:25 AM
Regulatory changes in transportation are examined in Assessing Regulatory Changes in the Transport Sector, a report from the International Transport Forum. This report specifically identifies the cost-benefit analysis and competition analysis in the transportation sector.
TRL: New specifications for concrete roads
12/26/2019 7:31:25 AM
Specifications for concrete roads on the Strategic Road Network are updated in Development of a System Installation Performance Trial (SIPT) Process for Concrete Road Surfaces , a report from the Transport Research Laboratory. This amended report seeks to ensure that the requirements for new concrete roads are in line with those required of asphalt roads by specifying texture depth and high speed locked-wheel friction performance criteria.
ICCT: Air pollution from heavy-duty vehicles
12/13/2019 7:24:10 AM
Nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions from heavy-duty diesel vehicles in the United States are assessed in Current State of NOx Emissions from In-Use Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles in the United States , a report from the International Council on Clean Transportation. NOx from heavy-duty diesel engines is a significant contributor to air quality issues and pollution in many areas of the United States.
ITF: Remeasuring the value of time
12/12/2019 7:24:10 PM
A new method for measuring value of travel time (VTT) in the Netherlands is presented in Time Use and Values of Time and Reliability in the Netherlands , a report from the International Transport Forum. VTT is used for converting travel time changes into monetary benefits as part of cost-benefit analysis of investment projects and transportation policy.
