Urban Transport and the Environment for the 21st Century III
The 41 papers include most of the presentations at the conference, and provide an international perspective on efforts to create integrated transportation systems in cities without utterly ruining the environment. The perspective is also multidisciplinary, with contributions from transportation systems, environmental studies, planning, funding, management, vehicle and transport technology, transport modeling, and traffic studies. The main themes are rail transportation systems, bus and freight transport systems, private vehicle studies, general transportation systems, residential and pedestrian studies, studies of user's choices, future vision, and environmental aspects. Case studies come from such places as Argentina, Scotland, the Netherlands, Croatia, Japan, Ireland, and Germany. Reproduced from typescripts, some double spaced. No subject index.

Urban Transport and the Environment for the 21st Century
"Urban transportation in many towns and cities around the world is becoming a major concern, not only because of rising car ownership and the resulting congestion, but also because of increasing pollution and the consequences for community health. Although there have been considerable technical advances in recent years in vehicle design, transportation systems and in the analysis of the environment, the efficient integration of transport systems within the fabric of towns and cities is complex with attendant social and environmental issues." "This book contains the proceedings of the First International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment held in Southampton in June 1995. Over fifty papers were presented from authors around the world covering transport systems such as railways in cities and electric vehicles; planning aspects covering traffic restraint and 'infrastructure'; environmental aspects including vehicle emissions and urban noise; and future vision issues such as future urban travel demand, and new approaches to mobility."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Software Engineering in Higher Education II
The 47 papers address not only the teaching of software engineering at the undergraduate and graduate levels, but also the use of software in the engineering curriculum. Among the educational issues discussed are object-oriented design in power engineering education, representing model classes in C++, a course on managing in the glazed tile industry, and an expert teaching system for calculus studies. Other topics include computer graphics for visualizing antenna radiation patterns, spatial statistics selection software, programming techniques for client-server architectures, and a first course in object- oriented programming using Oberon.

Urban Transport VI
This book contains the proceedings of a conference on urban transport and the environment. It addresses issues such as advances in analysis and traffic management, and new transport systems, from an environmental point of view.
Urban Transport IV
This book contains the proceedings of the latest in a highly successful series of conferences which bring together engineers, scientists & managers from industry, research organisations & government. The papers included represent studies from around the world covering the latest developments in urban transport research & its environmental aspects such as air & noise pollution, & economic & social impacts.
Urban Transport VII
Current research on urban transport and the environment is as important as it is varied, while the issues involved are complex and often inter-related. Containing the proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century, this volume addresses the environmentally effective integration of various modes of transport.
Urban Transport IX
The issue of urban transportation, together with its inter-related environmental and social concerns, continues to rise up the agenda of all city authorities and central governments. Reflecting the wide range of research being carried out in many countries today, and highlighting urban transport systems, traffic control, accessibility and mobility, control and simulation, finance, air quality and noise, and social issues and safety, this volume features papers presented at the Ninth International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century. The material included should be of interest to engineers, scientists and managers who are involved in the planning and management of urban transportation and transport policy.
