Sobre este producto
  • This Book presents a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and future-oriented framework for understanding transportation systems in a global context. The book is designed not merely as a technical manual, but as an integrated study of transportation, mobility, communication, economics, security, governance, and sustainability, highlighting their combined role in shaping modern societies. The opening sections introduce the foundations of transportation and mobility, explaining their meaning, scope, historical evolution, and significance as drivers of economic growth, social development, and national security. Transportation is positioned as a strategic system that connects regions, markets, and people, while influencing geopolitics and global trade. A detailed classification of transport modes—land, water, air, space, multimodal, and intermodal—helps readers understand how different systems interact within an integrated mobility ecosystem. Subsequent chapters focus on transportation infrastructure, including roads, railways, ports, airports, inland waterways, pipelines, and logistics terminals. These elements are treated as the physical backbone of national and international connectivity. The book then explores goods transportation systems, covering cargo types, packaging, handling, warehousing, and mode-specific freight movement by road, rail, sea, air, and pipelines, with attention to safety, regulation, and efficiency across supply chains. The section on passenger transportation systems examines travel behavior, demand analysis, accessibility, and equity, alongside modern concepts such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS). It analyzes road, rail, air, and water passenger transport in both urban and rural settings, reflecting real-world mobility challenges. Route and network planning chapters introduce traffic flow theory, capacity planning, bottleneck analysis, and the design of urban, regional, and international transport corridors. A significant portion of the book is devoted to vehicles, energy systems, and intelligent technologies, ranging from conventional and alternative fuel vehicles to electric, hydrogen, autonomous, and AI-enabled systems. This is complemented by an in-depth discussion of communication networks and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), emphasizing real-time data, signaling, navigation, and system integration. The later sections address safety, security, legal frameworks, sustainability, economics, and management, including environmental impacts, overloading and overcrowding, maintenance challenges, and digital transformation. Global case studies, policy institutions, and future technologies—such as drones, urban air mobility, hyperloop, and space-based transport—provide practical insights and strategic lessons. Overall, the book presents transportation systems as the lifelines of a nation, comparable to arteries and veins in the human body, offering a holistic reference for students, researchers, policymakers, and professionals engaged in shaping the future of mobility.
