  • Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India Is an Important
    Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since theeconomic liberalisation of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, the relatively low GDP of India has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. Motor vehicle penetration is low with only 13 million cars on thenation's roads.[1] In addition, only around 10% of Indian households own a motorcycle.[2] At the same time, the Automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with an annual production of over 2.6 million vehicles[3] and vehicle volume is expected to rise greatly in the future.[4] In the interim however, public transport still remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India's public transport systems are among the most heavily utilised in the world.[5] India's rail network is the longest and fourth most heavily used system in the world transporting over 6 billionpassengers and over 350 million tons of freight annually.[5][6] Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure, lack of investment, corruption and a burgeoning population. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year[5] with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend $1.7 Trillion USD on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth of which $500 Billion USD is budgeted to be spent during the eleventh Five-year plan.

Received: 4 November 2020; Accepted: 25 November 2020; Published: 26 November 2020 Abstract: Accidents related to electric kick scooters, which are widespread globally, are increasing rapidly. However, most of the research on them concentrates on reporting accident status and injury patterns. Therefore, while it is necessary to analyze safety issues from the user’s perspective, interviewing or conducting a survey with those involved in an accident may not return enough data due to respondents’ memory loss. Therefore, this study aims to identify the risk factors in the context-of-use for electric kick scooters based on a topic modeling method. We collected data on risk episodes involving electric kick scooters experienced by users in their daily lives and applied text mining to analyze text responses describing the risk episodes systematically. A total of 423 risk episodes are collected from 21 electric kick scooter users in South Korea over two months from an online survey.

  • Rickshaw Art in Bangladesh
    76 MIMAR 39 RICKSHAW ART IN BANGLADESH New buildings in Dhaka sometimes find their way onto the back of a rickshaw before the front of a postcard. Tom Learmonth describes the plethora of images that constitute Dhaka's traffic art. he cycle rickshaw is the pre­ dominant means of transport T in Bangladesh. It provides personal transport at a price determined not by the enormous cost of imported oil but by the barely subsistence level of wages of the landless poor. It thus makes use of Bangladesh's most abundant resource, her people. Two thirds of Dhaka's traffic is made up of an estimated 150,000 rickshaws. There are thought to be around a million in the country despite periodic attempts to limit them by governments embarrassed by what they see as a sign of backwardness. The quality of life for the drivers - still known as rickshaw pullers although the hand pulled version has now disappeared - is poor. Few live beyond 40, yet their earnings are far higher than the agricultural wages they left behind in the villages. Often they are supporting families left behind. In Dhaka they are relatively well-off in the hierarchy of the urban poor. The machines they struggle to pedal, with two passengers or a heavy goods load aboard, evolved from the hand pulled rickshaw design coupled to the 1900s English policeman's bicycle, which is still manufactured by the million in India and China. The rickshaws are A main thoroughfare in Old Dhaka the rickshaw. They are paid by the assembled piece by piece in specialized showing a typical ratio oj rickshaws to rickshaw owners, almost entirely middle­ workshops in the cities.
