Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) To my wife Vesna at the 30th anniversary of our marriage Preface The transport system has, is, and will continue to be a foundation of the economy of each country/nation, as well as that of the world. In particular, in the twenty-first century, it will further strengthen its role in integrating and globalizing economic activities, and will thus also influence the quality of people’s lives. In the past, transport demand in terms of both the number of passengers and the volumes of freight/goods shipments has been constantly growing in the medium- to long-term period(s) despite being affected, from time to time, by the local and global economic and political crises. This demand has been satisfied by the capacity of the transport system generally consisting of the transport infrastructure, transport means/vehicles, and workforce. Material, energy, and labor has been consumed in order to provide transport services according to the specified internal organization containing operating rules and procedures, and under given external regulation and constraints. On the one hand, such developments have produced the above- mentioned positive contributions to the national economies and social welfare. On the other, they have affected the environment and society in terms of land use/take for expanding the transport infrastructure, energy consumption from non-renewable sources (coal, crude oil, and natural gas) and related emissions of Green House Gases (GHG), local noise, congestion, and safety (traffic incidents and accidents), Since both passenger and freight transport demand are predicted to double over the next 20 and triple over the next 50 years, solutions for serving them more efficiently and effectively while mitigating impacts on the environment and society need to be provided. Therefore, in addition to creating transport policies and monitoring schemes aiming to reduce physical transport demand (i.e., telecommuting) and implementing advanced transport planning and operating tools and techniques, potential solutions also lie in developing advanced technologies individually and/or in combination with advanced operational concepts. Generally, this implies providing: (i) sufficiently capacitated and environmentally friendlier, i.e., more energy/fuel efficient, cleaner, quieter, and safer, technologies based on an increased use of renewable energy/fuel sources (such as, for example, biomass fuels (liquid) hydrogen, wind and solar energy), nanotechnologies, and information technologies; and (ii) the advanced organizational and operational forms and concepts of using transport infrastructure, transport means/vehicles, and accompanied resources. Experience so far indicates that commercialization, i.e., development and implementation, of the advanced components—technologies and related vii viii Preface operational concepts—of the transport system has been an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary process. The main reasons include: (i) a rather long time for maturing up to full commercialization; (ii) an inherent threat from confronting existing and forthcoming even stricter institutional/policy regulation/constraints; (iii) relatively high development costs; (iv) frequently uncertain long-term overall commercial and social feasibility; and (v) a relatively long path for obtaining operational certification implying full environmental and societal/policy acceptance. Under such circumstances, most such transport technologies and operational concepts, except a couple of futuristic ones, have been mostly gradually updated and improved, usually based on the closest previous counterparts. In the given context, this justifies deeming them ‘‘innovative’’ or ‘‘advanced’’ rather than completely ‘‘new’’. In this book, the attribute ‘‘advanced’’ is used for all such technologies and operational concepts. The book describes analysis, modeling, and evaluation of performances of the selected advanced transport systems. Some of them have already been commer- cialized, i.e., implemented and operationalized, and/or are planned to be so, while others are still at the conceptual level waiting for further elaboration. Their performances are considered as derived from the technical/technological design and solutions of the infrastructure, transport means/vehicles, and supporting facilities and equipment used according to the specified operational rules and procedures, and economic, environmental, social, and policy conditions/constraints. Analysis and modeling implies examination of their infrastructural, technical/ technological, operational, economic, environmental, social, and policy performances. Evaluation based on a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT)-like analysis implies assessment of the advantages and disadvan- tages of these systems. In such context, Strengths and Opportunities are considered as advantages, while Weaknesses and Threats are considered disadvantages. Both are considered from the aspects of academics/researchers, but also from those of par- ticular actors/stakeholders involved such as users of transport services–passengers and freight/goods shippers/receivers, transport infrastructure and service providers/ operators, investors, policy makers at different institutional levels (local, national, international), and members of the local community/society. Particular advanced transport systems have been selected according to the following criteria: (i) the level of advancement of particular performances; (ii) representativeness through transport modes (rail, road, air, water/sea, inter- modal); (iii) their spatial scale (area) of operation (urban and inter-urban); (iv) category of demand served (passengers, freight/goods); (v) availability/ accessibility of relevant information (from science-based and publically-accessible relevant sources); and (vi) the level of systematic scientific elaboration as compared to that used in this book. The selected advanced transport systems are clustered in the book’s chapters respecting the type and number of their advanced performances independently of the transport mode, spatial/geographical scale of operation, and type of transport demand they serve. Preface ix The widely dispersed and in some cases scarce material collected from the various available sources such as research (including my own), literature (books and papers in scientific and professional journals), and websites is presented from the traffic and transport engineering and planning and design perspective. Most facts and issues are scientifically supported and accurate regarding the funda- mental relationships between particular variables (parameters). Nevertheless, some of them, particularly those related to futuristic concepts, contain a level of fuzzi- ness in the absolute terms, which, however, does not compromise their relevance in the given context. As such, the book aims to be informative as much as possible but by no means exhaustive—to the contrary, it intends to provide academics, researchers, consultants, policy/decision makers, and professionals from the transport industry and related fields with material for current and future research and development of the transport system.

  • Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 1048 AM
    Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 10)48 AM Shinkansen The Shinkansen (Japanese: 新幹線, pronounced [ɕiŋkaꜜɰ̃ seɴ], lit. ''new trunk line''), colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, in order to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network.[1][2] It is operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. A lineup of JR East Shinkansen trains in October Over the Shinkansen's 50-plus year history, carrying 2012 over 10 billion passengers, there has been not a single passenger fatality or injury due to train accidents.[3] Starting with the Tōkaidō Shinkansen (515.4 km, 320.3 mi) in 1964,[4] the network has expanded to currently consist of 2,764.6 km (1,717.8 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 240–320 km/h (150– 200 mph), 283.5 km (176.2 mi) of Mini-Shinkansen lines with a maximum speed of 130 km/h (80 mph), and 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of spur lines with Shinkansen services.[5] The network presently links most major A lineup of JR West Shinkansen trains in October cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu, and 2008 Hakodate on northern island of Hokkaido, with an extension to Sapporo under construction and scheduled to commence in March 2031.[6] The maximum operating speed is 320 km/h (200 mph) (on a 387.5 km section of the Tōhoku Shinkansen).[7] Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 603 km/h (375 mph) for SCMaglev trains in April 2015.[8] The original Tōkaidō Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, three of Japan's largest cities, is one of the world's busiest high-speed rail lines.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

    International Conference On Recent Trends In Engineering Science And Management ISBN: 978-81-931039-2-0 Jawaharlal Nehru University, Convention Center, New Delhi (India), 15 March 2015 www.conferenceworld.in SURVEY ON DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTION OF FAKE PROFILES IN SOCIAL NETWORKS Ameena A1, Reeba R2 1,2, Department of Computer Science And Engineering, Sree Buddha College Of Engineering, Pattoor (India) ABSTRACT In the present generation, the social life of everyone has become associated with the online social networking sites. But with their rapid growth, many problems like fake profiles, online impersonation have also grown. There are no feasible solution exist to control these problems. In this paper, survey on different classification techniques for detection of fake profiles in social networks is proposed. This paper presents the classification techniques like Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes and Decision trees to classify the profiles into fake or genuine classes. This classification techniques can be used as a framework for automatic detection of fake profiles, it can be applied easily by online social networks which has millions of profile whose profiles cannot be examined manually. Keywords : SVM, SNS, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes Classification, Support Vector Machine I. INTRODUCTION Social Networking Sites (SNS) are web-based services that facilitates individuals to construct a profile, which is either public or semi-public. SNS contains list of users with whom we can share a connection, view their activities in network and also converse. SNS users communicate by messages, blogs, chatting, video and music files. SNS also have many disadvantages such as information is public, security problem, cyber bullying and misuse and abuse of SNS platform.

Old Kokuden Type nose suspension drive Provided by MB3110A@zhengdao_X The sound of a suspended motor is something that we cannot hear around us anymore. The ESU sound decoder fulfilled my wish that the nostalgic sound of the suspension motor would remain in service forever. The sound source is based on the running sound of Tobu 3050 series, and various operation sounds such as old auxiliary equipment are added to make it highly versatile. The sound source is based on the running sound of Tobu 3050 series. This data can be used with the LokSound V4 series and LokSound 5 series, but the LokSound V4 rescue version has some limitations in sound quality and functions.
