TL;DR: Social capital (SC) describes the advantage individuals and communities can gain from social participation, mutual assistance and trust as mentioned in this paper, and the provision of travel options for those who are socially disadvantaged is a major rationale for providing public transport.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the Transmilenio rapid bus system in Bogota and applaud the improvements that it has already brought to urban transport in the city of Bogota.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with an accessibility analysis of Korean high-speed rail and identify the zones of opportunity that could yield the greatest demand increase of high speed rail and some metropolitan railway expansions for improving accessibility of the region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the implications of the different types of institutional isomorphisms, namely coercion, mimesis and norms, from both the perspectives of organizations that have taken the initiative to adopt technology for container transport security enhancement and those that have followed other organizations to adopt technologies.

TL;DR: It is concluded that P&R may increase the distance travelled by its users due to low load factors on dedicated buses, public transport abstraction and trip generation, although it is highlighted that there are areas in which further research is required to clarify its impacts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a complementary perspective that evolves around the time-space of arrival, a time span appropriate for arrival at a given destination that draws on insights from human geography, sociology, and psychology.

TL;DR: Investigating the prospective and limitations in the application of potential intelligent transport system (ITS) functions to reduce accident risks, using a cause‐treatment relationship indicates that several ITS have the potential of improving road safety and addressing specific accident causes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstruct the ownership transformation involving Poland's State Road Transport (PKS) companies passed through after 1990, using data collected from various sources (above all the Internet) to establish the degree of advancement of the transformation processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of vessel movements at North Korean ports (1985-2006) shows that although coastal economies may increasingly use maritime transport to overcome inland blockages, the evolution of port traffics better reflects broader trends such as a general economic decline, the westward shift of populations, and the polarization of economic activities around the Pyongyang area.

TL;DR: The article discusses the construction of a time‐scaled maps series for Switzerland documenting the shrinking of the country since 1950 and presents the maps and discusses how the country was shrunk by half.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodological process for developing transport-related contingency plans to address pre-identified emergencies in major events, such as the Olympic Games, is presented, in which transport services were offered to over 50, 000 members of the Olympic Family, 150, 000 staff and volunteers, and 3.8 million spectators over a period of more than two weeks.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-objective optimization approach is proposed to the formulation of a number of equilibrium problems that typically arise in the transportation planning process, which fall into two classes: combined demand and network equilibrium problems, the latter called performance-demand equilibrium problems.

TL;DR: In this article, the acceptability of the German road user-charging scheme for heavy goods vehicles by the road haulage industry was examined. But the scheme is not considered to be effective in reducing traffic on motorways or increasing efficiency of transports.

TL;DR: The role of a metaphor of centrally controlled air conditioning in governing Singaporean transport planning is examined and its consequences evaluated in this article, where a modern transportation system has been put in place to link a hierarchy of central places.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give insight into a process of regional logistics collaboration as it progressed in the peripheral region of Skaraborg, western Sweden, between 2000 and 2007 The focus of the collaboration was to develop the logistics competitiveness in the region, mainly through the establishment of an intermodal terminal for rail and road transport.

TL;DR: In this article, a literature review, documentary analysis, and an empirical evaluation of school travel plans is presented, highlighting barriers to their implementation, extensiveness and longevity, and the behavioural approach which underpins school travel plan promotional literature.

TL;DR: In this article, an exhaustive review of standard methodologies and practices related to cost-effectiveness and costbenefit analyses is carried out for that purpose, and a number of case studies are performed, concerning the efficiency assessment of various road safety measures in different countries, covering different types of road-safety measures (user-, vehicle-or infrastructure-oriented, policy or enforcement), ranging from national to local levels of implementation and including both ex ante and ex post evaluations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate how land passenger transport is organized in Japan, and to begin to evaluate its effectiveness, drawing on a literature review and on findings from a scoping study based on a series of semi-structured in-depth interviews with key practitioners.

TL;DR: Metz's argument that there is little empirical evidence to support the proposition that the main benefit of improvements to transport infrastructure is the saving of travel time has been cent... as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Metz's paper as mentioned in this paper is one such kind of paper and it is not so often that you get to read a paper that makes you (re)think so much, whether you agree with what is said or not.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the privatization policy taken by the government and assess the preliminary organizational reforms, focusing especially on policy issues such as horizontal separation, vertical (management-holding) separation and regulatory changes.

TL;DR: The Myth of Travel Time Saving as mentioned in this paper has been investigated in the context of travel time saving, and a number of distinguished experts have responded to the paper "The Myth Of Travel Time Saving".
