Practical Road Safety Auditing - Martin Belcher - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Practical Road Safety Auditing - Martin Belcher - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Practical Road Safety Auditing explores the systematic process for checking the safety of new and improved road schemes for the benefit of future road users. An effective Road Safety Audit ensures that all highways schemes operate as safely as is practicable by minimising the chance of future collisions and reducing the risk in their severity. The third edition of Practical Road Safety Auditing provides engineers with clear and comprehensive guidance regarding the new Certificate of Competency, launched by the Highways Agency as part of the new Safety Audit Standard in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges. Not only will a successful Audit help road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, bus users, equestrians and those with visual and mobility impairments, but an understanding and appreciation of an efficient Road Safety Audit will also improve design and evaluation processes for both new and existing road schemes across the world. This new edition shares the latest theory and practice from regions such as Europe, South East Asia, Australasia, the Middle East, Canada and the Americas, using real-life examples and case studies of successes and failures to enable the reader to apply best practice to their own road scheme. Key features include: - Up-to-date new research and control data from the industry to help readers carry out a successful Road Safety Audit - New Certificate of Competency requirements for engineers in the UK and a brief discussion of practice in other countries - Coverage of other types of design audits, including technical, cycle, pedestrian, mobility, Non-Motorised User Audit and Quality Audit - Current issues and legal implications of the Road Safety Audit process Written by practising Road Safety Auditors, who between them have carried out over 2,000 Road Safety Audits, this book will teach, inform and guide all practitioners commissioning audits, those carrying them out, and those whose schemes are being audited.

The American Road Trip and American Political Thought - Susan Mcwilliams Barndt - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The American Road Trip and American Political Thought - Susan Mcwilliams Barndt - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Americans love road trips. They love to go on road trips. They love to read about road trips. They love to watch road trip stories unfold on television and film. Road trip stories are a consistent feature of the American landscape, a central part of American mythology, and an important piece of the American dream.In The American Road Trip and American Political Thought, Susan McWilliams argues that the American fascination with road trip stories is about more than mere escapism or wanderlust. She shows, in walking through stories like On the Road and The Grapes of Wrath, that American road trip stories are a key expression of American political thought. They are not just stories of personal journeys. They are stories of the American nation.McWilliams Barndt shows how Americans have long used road trip stories to raise and explore central questions about American politics in theory and practice. They talk about freedom and equality and diversity and take those vaunted American ideals for a test drive. American road trip stories are where the rubber meets the road in American political thought.The American Road Trip and American Political Thought includes explorations of a wide variety of American authors, from Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau to Erika Lopez and Cheryl Strayed, from Mark Twain and John Steinbeck to Solomon Northup and Hunter S. Thompson. It covers topics including gender, labor, place, race, and technology in American political life.This is a book that will change the way you think about the great American road trip and the great American story.

Approaches to Road Safety - Peter Sweatman - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Road transport is on a constant course to maintain and improve driving safety in what is a complex process involving multiple forms of risk. It is time for embracing system technologies that give more meaning to the philosophical phrase "safe system" and Approaches to Road Safety: Evolution, Challenges, and Emerging Technologies makes the case for the adoption of safer systems in road transport industries through the embracing of technological paradigms, system attributes and more clearly articulated values. This book offers an account of the professional road safety enterprise in action in the United States, Australia and elsewhere, covering the contributions of Haddon in the 1960s, the creation of NHTSA, the development of the science of human factors, the enduring philosophy of countermeasures to motor vehicle crashes, motor vehicle safety regulations, occupant restraint and protection, collision avoidance, road and traffic design, driver assistance systems, pre-crash scenarios and vulnerable road users. It addresses the harm caused by roadway collisions, including the strategies of Vision Zero and the safe system. It places the enterprise of road safety within the greater system of road vehicle transportation. It also covers ethical preoccupations besides safety, including the rise of sustainability and its operational challenges, including uneven professionalism. Automation and the rise of driverless vehicles are discussed with these being described as a useful long-term change-agent in transportation systems. The important paradigm of connected vehicles and infrastructure is also described, along with the under-utilized science of human factors. The reader is exposed to a nuanced look at the world of road transport safety through its beginnings to the modern age of automation, allowing them to have a contextualized view of the subject area. Offering valuable insights, this book will appeal to professionals in the fields of safety, human factors, the automotive industry, traffic control, vehicle standards and regulations, transportation systems and road safety policy.

Managing Supply Chains on the Silk Road - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Managing Supply Chains on the Silk Road - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Historically important trade routes for goods of all kinds for more than 3000 years, the Silk Road has once again come to prominence. Managing Supply Chains on the Silk Road: Strategy, Performance, and Risk present emerging supply chain practices from the Silk Road regions that include China, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Iran, Central Asia, Lebanon, Turkey, Israel, and Hungary. It takes a results-oriented, comparative approach to supply chain management covering structural, strategic, and operational topics. The book first presents how the historical Silk Road supply chains operated and then provides new and interesting examples from different countries the Silk Road passed, from China to Europe. The text demonstrates that the supply chain concept and its related practices are not new, per se, and invented recently in the West. Rather, it was practiced for centuries along the Silk Road and became the foundation for today’s global supply chains. Against this backdrop, the book explores the differences and similarities along the Silk Road in the supply chain management process and what can be learned from them. As supply chains become longer, leaner, and more scattered around the globe, performance and risk become two sides of a coin. Bringing together a diverse team of experts from academia and the business world, the book’s coverage spans not only regions, but industries. This fresh perspective provides insights for assessing performance and hedging risk and opens up new directions for research. … Haksoz, Seshadri, and Iyer have brought together 28 scholars and business executives from different continents to share their perspectives about past and present trading activities along the Silk Road. … [the book] examines a wide range of issues arising from a multicultural perspective. … provides clear insights of the past and the present that will help academics and practitioners to gain a better understanding of the future. - From the foreword by Christopher Tang, University of California, Los Angeles
