The Action Field of Mobility: Safeguarding Infrastructures. Improving Traffic Efficiency. Seizing Export Opportunities

National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) 2011 Efficient roads and railways constitute the lifelines of individual mobility and logistics. Given the increasing burdens on government budgets, however, the maintenance and extension of the traffic infrastructure is becoming increasingly more difficult. Against this backdrop, acatech...

National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) 2011 Worldwide urbanization is a crucial challenge of the 21st century. More people are living in regional agglomerations than in rural regions for the first time since 2007; they will add up to 60% in 2030. The stronger...

Royal Academy of Engineering (UK) (RAEng) 2011 In an ever more connected world, society’s reliance on high integrity positional, navigational and timing (PNT) data is growing. The Academy’s study has identified an increasing number of applications where PNT signals from GNSS are used with little,...

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR) 2012 This paper analyses the opportunity of accomplishing a navigable link between Bucharest and Danube – Trans-European Transport Corridor VII. There are summarized the studies / projects developed for this navigable link from the late nineteenth century, as well...

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR) 2012 Bucharest has developed without a systematic plan as results from general plan since 1870. Emergence of major streets by aligning and grouping of buildings was made after 1900. This presents a particular problem at present in all cases...

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR) 2012 Urban goods transport plays an essential part in good operation of the cities, being in the same time source of negative consequences (congestion, pollution, consumption of non-regenerative energy). This paper presents the characteristic features of logistics scheme with...

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR) 2012 Considering that transport modes are suited for certain market areas, it is proposed to shift from the existing concepts of inter-, multi- and co-modality to the generalizing concepts, theories and models in order to bring transport modes into...

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR) 2012 In this paper we present the recent achievements of the FLAVIA project activities, which were obtained during the pre-feasibility study of the Danube inland water way services.

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR) 2012 The present paper presents some results obtained in an European research project in the field of mobile information systems, with the goal to implement and develop an efficient management and information system for traveling in urban areas.

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR) 2013 The integrated education in view of sustainable development requests the study of the following themes: population (structure and spatial distribution), manner of living, organizational structures and their administration, spatial structures, technical structures and ecological environment. In synthetic approach,...
