Transportation System Resilience
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2017Co-Authors: Stephanie Amoaning-yankson, Adjo Amekudzi-kennedyAbstract:The research and the practice associated with the development of resilient Transportation Systems have, to date, focused largely on the characterization and reduction of the vulnerability of Transportation Systems and the impacts of disruptive events on System users. Emerging evidence, however, suggests that a move from a technical focus to a sociotechnical focus has the potential to enhance the resilience of built Systems and the societies that they serve. This paper first reviews the literature on the resilience of the Transportation System to characterize the nature of approaches to the development of resilience in the Transportation System. The paper offers examples of cases that provide evidence of the added benefits associated with a move from a largely technical approach to a sociotechnical approach. Subsequently, the paper reviews the literature on resilience in social, ecological, and economic Systems to identify opportunities for expanding the scope of existing approaches to develop resilience in the Transportation System and offer operational pathways forward. The review findings indicate that the following concepts may be applied to enhance the development of resilience in the Transportation System: adaptive behavior and multiple equilibrium states from resilience in ecological Systems; vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and participative capacity from resilience in social Systems; a multiscale approach to resilience; and static and dynamic resilience in economic Systems. Overall Systematic efforts toward the development of institutional, organizational, social, and financial capital with influences on the resilience of the Transportation System would also enhance the development of resilience in the Transportation System.

Fracture control requirements for payloads using the National Space Transportation System (NSTS)
2019Co-Authors: NasaAbstract:The purpose of this document is to establish the fracture control requirements for all payload hardware to be launched or retrieved using the National Space Transportation System (NSTS). Meeting these requirements implements the minimum fracture control requirements of NHB 1700.7, 'Safety Policy and Requirements for Payloads Using the Space Transportation System (STS).' All NSTS payload fracture control shall be in accordance with the requirements stated herein.

The Public Transportation System of High Quality in Taiwan
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2013Co-Authors: Xiaoguang YangAbstract:In recent years, Taiwan pays more and more attention to the development of the public Transportation. In order to encourage people to use the public Transportation, perfect service facilities are built and a series of management policies are enacted in Taiwan. The public Transportation System in Taiwan is introduced from urban and intercity, which includes bus, Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) System, intercity bus and intercity railway. The paper focuses on the facilities, functions, technologies and management measures. It is easy for readers to understand the public Transportation System in Taiwan in both pictures and literary.

role of the motor vehicle industry in a sustainable Transportation System
Transportation Research Record, 2000Co-Authors: Barbara C RichardsonAbstract:A sustainable Transportation System is one in which fuel consumption, vehicle emissions, safety, congestion, and access to social and economic opportunity are of such levels that they can be sustained into the indefinite future without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own Transportation needs. Each of the stakeholders in the Transportation System—local, state, and federal governments; the fuel and motor-vehicle industries; and public-Transportation providers, users, and others—will have roles to play in moving toward sustainability. The motor-vehicle industry, as manufacturers of the vehicles that are used for 99 percent of the personal ground veh-km of travel, will need to participate proactively with all of the stakeholders in the Transportation System as it addresses the challenges and opportunities in the areas of fuel consumption, emissions, congestion, safety, and access.
