Abstract:
The present survey and data analysis confirmed the impact of the farm size (based on the Utilized Agricultural Area) on the volume of external transportation services despite the overall improvement of owned means of transport. The main transport characteristic, i.e. shipment distance increases with the farm size. Hence, the largest farm businesses characterized by higher commercial outputs use external transportation services to a greater extent although they own better quality and higher number of farm vehicles. At the average freight volume transported by external services of 4.37 tons per hectare of the Utilized Agricultural Area, the share of contracted transportation services in the total freight transport increases from 13.95 % in the smallest farms to 28.42 % in the largest farm businesses. This analysis was confirmed by the correlation analysis between the farm size and volume of external transportation services.

Abstract:
The results of this study on the loss of live poultry at various stages of delivery from the farm to the processing plant by road are given. A factor analysis of the reasons for the loss of livestock delivered from the farm to the processing plant was carried out. The dependencies of livestock losses on loading delays and the duration of the movement of the loaded poultry farm to the processing plant were established. Methodological recommendations for rationing the number of injuries observed during delivery were developed. The study of losses of live birds during delivery to the processing plant from the density of stocking in shipping boxes was carried out; the economic and mathematical model for optimizing the landing of live birds in shipping boxes was proposed. The calculation of the economic impact of the implementation of the results of the study is given.

Abstract:
The relationship between the farm economic crisis and farmer suicide rates was examined using data from fifteen states in the United States from 1980 to 1985. Suicide frequencies for farmers and two control occupations (forestry and transportation workers) were obtained, and the 1980 U.S. Census occupational population data were used to convert these frequencies into suicide rates. Suicide rates for farmers were found to be greater than rates for transportation workers (truck drivers), but no different from rates for forestry workers. A significant positive correlation between the “declining farm economy” and “increasing state suicide rates” was also found.

Abstract:
The aim of this work was to summarise the results of perennial (2008‐2018) research on the effectiveness of the Intestevit TM drug presenting a mixture of probiotics and nutritional supplements for correcting transportation stress in ruminants.Methods. The condition of rumi‐ nant animals being imported into farms in the Amur Oblast were investigated. The condition of animals prior to and following transportation was assessed using 204 indicators. The statistical significance in mean values was estimated using Studentʹs t‐test: a difference with the probability of the alternative hypothesis p <0.05 was considered to be reliable.Results. Under the influence of long‐term transportation, animals experience significant stress, which leads to various psycho‐emotional disorders becoming more pronounced over time. Such animals demonstrate a noticeable loss of weight, decreased muscle strength and reduced resistance to diseases. Consequently, livestock enterprises bear financial loses from the lack of calves, dairy and meat products.Conclusion. The use of probiotics, such as Intestevit TM, can significantly reduce the adverse effects of transportation stress and improve the physiological state of animals.

Abstract:
Primer transportation is one of the most costly and time consuming forestry activities in extraction of timber from forest lands. Transportation methods are essentially determined based on terrain characteristics, especially ground slope. Besides, unsuitable machine selection and unplanned operations may cause ecological damages such as soil disturbance. Soil damage can lead to long term impacts on forest ecosystem. Thus, the optimum transportation methods should be determined by considering not only economic factors but also topographical factors and soil conditions. In recent decades, some of the advanced features of Geographical Information System (GIS) assist decision makers to solve such complex transportation problems with various constraints. In this study, it was aimed to plan forest transportation operation by using GIS integrated Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, considering ground slope, soil type, and available transportation equipment in the region. This method was implemented within the border of İnegöl Forest Enterprise Chief in the city of Bursa in Turkey. Alternative transportation method included cable system, chute system, skidder, and farm tractor. GIS-based method integrated with AHP found that skidder was the optimal transportation method for about 60% of the study area, while farm tractor was the second most suitable method with 25% ground cover. The results indicated that GIS-based decision support systems can be effectively used as rational, quick, and economic tool for forest transportation planning.

Abstract:
Transportation is a recurring event in a farm animal’s life, and it is considered one of the main stressors with possible negative repercussions for both the health and welfare of farm animals. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of transportation on some blood variables of 45 young bulls moved from their original farms to a livestock collection centre. Transportation took no more than 8 h and was carried out between January and March 2021. Blood samples were taken before transportation (T0), upon arrival at the collection centre (T1), and 7 days after arrival (T2). Samples were processed for blood cell count, clinical chemistry analyses, serum protein electrophoresis, and the evaluation of innate immunity parameters. The results showed a typical stress leukogram with neutrophilia and changes in the neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio. No significant alterations were observed in either serum proteins or pro-inflammatory cytokines. Significant, albeit transient, alterations were observed in some clinical chemistry parameters after transportation, which could be accounted for by stressful conditions such as the transportation itself and handling and mixing with other animals. Our results indicated that the adopted transportation conditions only slightly affected the blood variables under study with no significant impact on animal welfare.

Abstract:
This study aims to help beginner farmers to determine the location of the chicken farm construction using the MOORA method. The location factor for determining chicken farms is one of the important factors, because if the farm location is close to the highway, then the chicken will be exposed to transportation noise and easily stressed, but vice versa if the chicken farm is close to the cutting or sales location such as the market, the transportation costs will be relatively cheaper. The MOORA method has simple and stable mathematical calculations. MOORA method has the right mathematical calculation results in making a decision. The MOORA method has advantages over other methods, which are simpler and easier to implement. The level of selection in the MOORA method which is quite good can decide on an alternative solution in a problem.

Abstract:
The need for rapid and reliable on-farm bacteriological test methods to detect pathogens and assess the success of biosecurity practices in fish and shrimp farms has been increasing. This study compared on-farm and in-laboratory (after refrigerated transportation) analyses for black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) cultured in two outdoor earthen ponds in low-resource settings on the southeastern coast of Bangladesh, using basic bacteriological facilities. Water quality parameters, including temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH and salinity were determined at monthly intervals during summer (April to June). Water temperature in two farms ranged from 26.3°C to 29.3°C (27.7±1.6°C in Farm-1 and 27.4±0.9°C in Farm 2), within suitable limits for shrimp culture. DO levels varied from 5.1±0.2 to 5.4±0.5 mg/l, pH from 7.1±0.2 to 7.1±0.6, and salinity from 14.7±1.2 to 15.7±0.6 ppt, all within optimal ranges for shrimp farming. Bacterial loads showed slight variations between sampling periods. On-farm analyses consistently showed lower bacterial loads in shrimp samples compared to in-laboratory analyses with bacterial counts increasing over transportation time. Water temperature significantly influenced bacterial load as reflected by different sampling periods. The total bacterial load in farm water, sediment and shrimp samples showed notable differences between on-farm and in-laboratory analyses, reflecting the impact of environmental conditions, handling practices and time delays. It is concluded that on-farm microbiological analysis strategy is an effective method for detecting pathogens and assessing biosecurity practices in shrimp farms cultured in outdoor earthen ponds.

Abstract:
The Farm to Fork (F2F) concept represents a comprehensive and sustainable approach to the entire food supply chain, emphasizing the seamless integration of agricultural practices, food production, distribution, and consumption. This abstract provides an overview of the key principles and benefits associated with the Farm to Fork initiative. The Farm to Fork model begins at the agricultural stage, promoting environmentally friendly and resource-efficient farming practices. It encourages the use of sustainable farming methods, such as organic farming, agroecology, and precision agriculture, to minimize the environmental impact of food production. By focusing on reducing chemical inputs, optimizing water usage, and promoting biodiversity, F2F aims to create resilient and ecologically balanced farming systems. Moving along the supply chain, Farm to Fork places a strong emphasis on shortening the distance between producers and consumers. Localized and regional food systems are encouraged to reduce transportation- related carbon emissions, support local economies, and provide consumers with fresher, more nutritious produce. The integration of technology, such as blockchain and traceability systems, ensures transparency and accountability in the food supply chain. The Farm to Fork initiative also addresses food waste by promoting responsible consumption and production. Efforts are made to minimize post-harvest losses, optimize food processing, and educate consumers on mindful food choices. By reducing waste at every stage, F2F contributes to the overall sustainability of the food system and alleviates pressure on landfills.

Abstract:
In North America, refrigerated semi-trailers are commonly used to transport large volume of produce. They are equipped with refrigeration and air circulation systems to provide an optimum transit enviromnent for the produce. Air circulation plays a vital role in maintaining produce temperature during transport. Its performance is greatly affected by the availability of air channels through and around the load.
This study is an attempt to evaluate the performance of the air circulation system. Air temperature data was gathered from 20 mixed loads of produce transported in trailers having a variety of accessories and using different loading patterns. Pearson correlation coefficient was used as an indicator to describe the air distribution inside the semi-trailers. The results showed that the air distribution inside semi-trailers is generally not uniform. In most cases, the areas that received little amount of airflow were the middle section along the length and width, and the middle and bottom sections along the height of trailers. The variability in the results precluded any determination of the effect of trailer accessories and loading patterns on the air distribution.

This thesis investigates the transportation of wind turbines in an emerging wind energy market with a focus on South Africa. The research goal is to understand how the transport and the wind energy sectors interact; as well as how turbine transportation can unfold as a barrier to wind farm development in South Africa. Turbine transportation was found to be a key part of the wind farm development process which has been hampered in South Africa by poor planning, the design of the renewable energy procurement program and low cooperation amongst industry participants. Barriers to wind farm development include a shortage of logistics equipment such as cranes and trailers, a shortage of skilled drivers and crane operators and several embedded bottlenecks in the abnormal load transportation process. These factors combined have resulted in a cost premium of 5 - 10% for the turbine transportation process in South Africa as compared to the cost in larger established wind energy markets. The study additionally finds that the wind energy industry could benefit from better coordination of transport projects through industry bodies such as SAWEA, as the transport system is unlikely to be altered in order to accommodate the needs of the wind energy industry.

The objective of this dissertation was to study the economic impact of conventional (CS) and intelligent precision feeder (IPF-S) systems in growing and finishing pigs. The feed cost was the main variable used in the economic evaluation. A sample of commercial breeds of 1000 pigs was used from 26 to 105 kg LW during of 83 days. The diets were formulated based on linear minimum-cost approach. The feed costs were integrated into three modules (1) feed industry, (2) feed transportation, and (3) supply. Each module integrates several costs associated with specific conditions. In conventional system were produced 204 ton (60 of growing I, 72 growing II, and 72 finishing). In IPF system was produced the same quantity of CS (48 of diet A and 156 of diet B. The diet costs per ton in CS were R$ 591.49 for growing I, 525.79 for growing II, and 470.98 for finishing. In IPF-S these costs were 706.70 for diet A and 420.08 for diet B. The final average feed costs were of R$ 525.77 and R$ 487.52 in conventional and IPF system, respectively. In industry module the costs of worker and depreciation were similar, except for electricity, nine cents more cheap in IPF system. In this module, the feed cost was 7.57% lower in IPF-system. In feed transportation module, the cost of R$ 11.81 was the same for both systems. In feeding module the cost of IPF system was R$ 4.07 higher than conventional one. The final feed cost was R$ 6.99 lower per animal in IPF system.
O objetivo dessa dissertação foi estudar o impacto econômico dos sistemas de alimentação Convencional (SC) e de Precisão (IPF-S) para suínos em crescimento e terminação. O custo da alimentação foi a principal variável utilizada na avaliação econômica dos dois sistemas. Foi utilizada uma população de 1000 animais entre 26 a 105 kg PV durante de 83 dias. As rações foram formuladas com programação linear a mínimo custo. O custo da alimentação levou em conta três módulos (1) indústria de rações, (2) transporte e (3) fornecimento. Cada módulo integrou vários custos associados com condições específicas. No sistema convencional foram produzidas 204 t (60 de crescimento I, 72 de crescimento II e 72 t de terminação). No sistema IPF foi produzida a mesma quantidade que no SC (48 t da ração A e 156 t da ração B). Os custos das rações por tonelada no sistema convencional foram de R$ 591,49 para crescimento I, 525,79 para crescimento II e 470,98 para a terminação. No sistema IPF esses custos foram de R$ 706,70 para a ração A e 420,08 para a ração B. Os custos médios por tonelada das rações foram de R$ 525,77 no sistema convencional e 487,52 no IPF. No módulo industrial o custo de mão-de-obra e da depreciação foram semelhantes, exceto para a energia elétrica, inferior em nove centavos para o sistema IPF. Neste módulo, o custo da ração foi 7,57% inferior no sistema IPF. No módulo transporte o custo foi de R$ 11,81, o mesmo para ambos os sistemas. No módulo fornecimento o sistema IPF teve um custo R$ 4,07 superior ao convencional. O custo final de alimentação foi R$ 6,99 inferior por animal no sistema IPF.

Abstract:
Although the original intent of this study was to do a pre-and post-deregulation assessment of rail rates per ton-mile, the results using post-deregulation data show a significant decrease in rail rates between 1981 and 2000. While accounting for changes in shipment characteristics, savings for wheat, barley, com, oat, and soybean shippers were 63.80%, 69.17%, 49.07%, 67.97%, and 59.36%, respectively. Rate savings over time for an average 1981 shipment were 45%, 55%, 38%, 45%, and 36% for wheat, barley, com, oat, and soybean shippers, respectively. Analysis regarding the effects of deregulation of rail rates on com, soybean, and wheat on a regional basis shows that rail rates not only differ across commodities, but also among regions. In general, it was found that grain producers within regions that had higher levels of intermodal competition had lower rates than their counterparts with lower levels of intermodal competition. Distribution of benefits as a result of market-based pricing has varied among regions, and these variances are increasing over time.

Transit agencies commonly increase fares to raise revenue, reduce service to lower costs, or combine the two strategies. Fare increases impact specific subsets of transit users in different ways based on their demographics and the transit system fare structure. Automated fare collection (AFC) systems enable increased fare structure complexity, such as fare differentials by user group or ticket medium. While AFC systems create the opportunity for more intricate fare scenarios, they also record transaction-level ridership data that can be used to better understand the impacts of such changes. This thesis presents a study of the 2012 Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) fare increase using AFC system data. Fares increased by an average of 23%, but the increases varied by fare type, which is based on the user type and medium type, and trip mode. Elasticities by fare type were developed using the ridership changes from April - June 2012 to April - June 2013. Variation of usage within the primary fare type categories was also analyzed before and after the fare increase. Two longitudinal panels were developed to study changes in individual behavior over time: a panel of cards active in April - June 2012 and 2013, to observe changes over the period of the fare increase, and a panel of cards active in September - November 2012 and 2013, to serve as a baseline for comparison in absence of a fare increase. Each panel contained approximately 40% of the cards used in the corresponding three-month period in 2012. The usage distribution of the cards in each panel was representative of the distribution of the general population of cards active during each time period, with the exception of very infrequent stored value users. A regression model was developed to attempt to separate the effects of the fare increase, internal factors such as frequency of use and participation in the corporate pass program, and external factors such as weather, employment, and gas prices on the usage changes within both panels. While the effect of the fare increase on change in usage was negative, low R-squared values for both models indicate that the heterogeneity in usage changes is due to additional factors other than those included in these models.

Thesis advisor: Richard Sweeney
Public transportation is found across almost all major cities and differ widely in structure. Notably, transportation agencies adopt different fare structures to suit the idiosyncratic needs of cities. In the United States, the two most common fare structures are: distance based fares, and flat fares. This study evaluates the fairness of these two structures through the lens of consumer surplus and how it varies across different levels of poverty under each structure. Using ridership and demographic data from Washington D.C.'s "Metro" network, price elasticities of demand across demographic groups are determined and then applied to estimate the results of a hypothetical switch in fare structure. The resulting changes in consumer surplus are then compared between stations with different levels of poverty to determine whether one structure is more regressive than the other. The results of this analysis suggest that flexible fares such as distance based fares are more equitable as they charge higher prices for high-income individuals, who are also more price inelastic

Resumo: As metodologias utilizadas para a definição do valor da tarifa têm sido baseadas na chamada ¿Planilha do GEIPOT¿, desenvolvida em 1982 e atualizada em 1994. Apesar de ser amplamente utilizada, esta metodologia apresenta algumas limitações, as quais podem ser separadas entre distorções de método, uma vez que não consideram o horizonte de planejamento como uma das variáveis determinantes do preço de serviços, e distorções de parâmetros, dentre as quais vale destacar a forma de tratamento da depreciação e da remuneração do capital Neste trabalho desenvolveu-se e avaliou-se um procedimento alternativo de cálculo da tarifa do transporte público urbano de passageiros por ônibus através do método de fluxo de caixa descontado com o objetivo de minimizar as distorções. A novidade deste procedimento é o emprego de índices financeiros (Remuneração do Capital e Taxa Interna de Retorno), para a definição das tarifas, que consideram o longo prazo das contratações realizadas entre gestores públicos e operadores privados. Através da análise da bibliografia que versa sobre o tema e de um estudo de caso elaborado com base em três sistemas distintos de transporte público, demonstrou-se que o cálculo de tarifa pelo método do fluxo de caixa descontado apresenta maior eficiência sob as óticas do usuário, do operador e do Poder Público, a saber, respectivamente: a) preço e qualidade do serviço, b) rentabilidade e margem do resultado e c) sobrevivência do operador e satisfação do usuário. Os resultados obtidos nos dois primeiros casos mostram que no longo prazo há um acréscimo no valor da tarifa, enquanto que no terceiro, há um decréscimo. Entende-se que haja viabilidade de uso do procedimento proposto devendo-se, entretanto, desenvolver mais alguns submodelos, tais como, para a definição dos custos de manutenção e sua inter-relação com a depreciação e remuneração do capital
Abstract: Traditional methodologies used for the calculation of fares values rely on the "GEIPOT Worksheet", developed in 1982 and up-dated in 1994. Although this is the most commonly used methodology in Brazil, it presents some limitations, which can be divided in two different categories. In terms of methods, the GEIPOT Worksheet does not consider the planning horizon as one of the most important determinants of service prices. In terms of parameters, it is worth to mention the accounting treatment given to assets depreciation and capital remuneration. The purpose of this work is to minimize the mentioned distortions and limitations through the development of an alternative methodology for calculation of public transportation fares based on discounted cash flow models. The methodology originality is the use of financial indexes, as cost of capital and internal rate of return, as the basis for fare prices definition, considering the term of contracts undertaken by the Public Company the and the Private Operators. Based on an extensive analysis of the correlated bibliography and a case study developed in three different public transportation systems, we demonstrate that discounted cash flow models are more efficient than the traditional methods according to the perspective of users, operators and Public Authority, considering (i) the service price and quality, (ii) profitability and operational margin, and (iii) the operator sustainability and the users satisfaction. The results obtained in the first two cases indicated that in the long run the proposed model would result in an increase of fare values, while in the third case the proposed model would result in the decrease of fare values in comparison to traditional models. It is acknowledged that the alternative methodology is feasible to be applied, only requiring the development of sub-models for specific topics, as the maintenance costs definition and it¿s relation to the capital depreciation and remuneration

Full text
Abstract:
Connected, automated, shared, and electric (CASE) technologies have invoked Mobility 4.0—a connected, digitized, multimodal, and autonomous system of systems. This project established a flexible and adaptable blueprint that would streamline multidisciplinary and multistakeholder efforts as well as leverage available resources to prepare the Illinois Department of Transportation and other transportation agencies. Illinois has several strengths that make it an attractive location for CASE technology companies, including a talent pool from top-ranked universities, well-developed transportation infrastructure, government support, and a robust ecosystem of collaboration and innovation. Illinois also faces potential challenges (e.g., competition from other states and countries, limited access to funding, regulatory hurdles, and infrastructure readiness for new mobility technologies). Seven smart mobility pillars were identified in this study for Illinois—namely, connected and automated (CA) freight, scaling intelligent transportation systems, farm automation, insurance, urban mobility, CA logistics, and alternative fuels. The balanced scorecard ranked the pillars as follows (from highest): alternative fuels, scaling intelligent transportation systems, CA freight, farm automation, CA logistics, insurance, and urban mobility. Tactical focus areas were also identified per pillar and were prioritized with suggested leads and stakeholders to champion the CASE directives and opportunities. Near-term actions for Illinois were also suggested that included establishing a central structure for Illinois’ CASE program, enriching the knowledge base and experience, preparing transportation infrastructure, partnerships with external stakeholders, and expansion of laws, regulations, and policies that will help administer and grow CASE technology deployment and integration.

Valdes, Constanza, Jeffrey Gillespie, and Erik N. Dohlman. Soybean production, marketing costs, and export competitiveness in Brazil and the United States. [Washington, D.C.]: Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, December 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2023.8142532.ers.

Full text
Abstract:
The production of soybeans, the fourth leading crop produced globally, is projected to reach a record level in marketing year (MY) 2023/24. Combined, soybeans and their derivatives--soybean meal and soybean oil--are the most traded agricultural commodity, accounting for nearly 9 percent of the total value of global agricultural trade. Brazil is now the world's largest soybean producer and exporter, while the United States and Brazil jointly supplied nearly 90 percent of soybean exports to the world in MY 2021/22. Soybeans stand out as a crucial crop in the expansion of Brazil's farm sector and the country's ascent as a top global supplier of agricultural products. This report focuses on the export competitiveness for soybeans in Brazil and in the United States over the MY 2017/18--2021/22 periods, by comparing farm-level production costs, producer returns, the cost of internal transportation, and the cost of shipping to a common export destination. With soybean production in Brazil expected to reach a record high in MY 2023/24, a depreciating Brazilian currency, and the country's exporting capabilities expecting a boost (from expanding transportation infrastructure), changes in the competitiveness of Brazil will have important implications for U.S. and international agricultural markets.

Full text
Abstract:
The disruption of road transport by a new business model, Transport-as-a-Service (TaaS), has the potential to provide cities, states, and the US economy with their biggest boost in a century, while helping solve some persistent social and environmental problems at zero cost. Fleets of autonomous electric vehicles, owned by fleets (not individuals) will offer ways to transport people at much lower cost, leading to a boost in disposable incomes of more than $5,600 per household (or $1 trillion in aggregate per year), with a further $1 trillion per year boost to GDP from productivity gains. These gains will be spread far more evenly across society than tax cuts and will flow back into the economy, with the potential to create many new jobs, helping to compensate on a larger scale for those lost. This is a technology disruption – not just an energy shift – and the infrastructure for it is already mostly here.

Full text
Abstract:
Trade facilitation policies intend to simplify administrative processes and accelerate the handling of shipments across borders. Recent research shows that these policies have substantial effects on trade flows. In this chapter, we discuss what the existing evidence for trade implies for the provision of transportation services. In addition, we make use of a particular policy change, an upgrade to a new transit trade regime, to illustrate the many direct and indirect linkages between trade facilitation and transportation. These multiple connections imply that a well-functioning transportation sector is important to realize the full potential of trade facilitation policies. Our conceptual and empirical analyses show that, despite an increase in demand for transportation services, the effect of trade facilitation on freight rates and the underlying transportation sector is far from obvious. This calls for future research to examine equilibrium adjustment channels to trade facilitation policies in the transportation sector.

Krakowski, Krzysztof, and Lucas Ronconi. Compliance and Accountability: Evidence from a Field Experiment in Argentina. Inter-American Development Bank, June 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0004967.

Full text
Abstract:
Does compliance with low-cost civic duties increase demand for social accountability? We address this question by conducting a field experiment at train stations in Buenos Aires. We create exogenous variation in compliance with paying the public transportation fare by i) highlighting sanctions for non-compliance and ii) appealing to compliance norms whereby 90 percent of passengers pay the fare. We find that both sanctions and norms treatments raise compliance. However, only appeals to compliance norms make treated passengers more willing to sign a petition demanding quality public transportation serviceour measure of demand for social accountability. To probe the mechanisms explaining these patterns, we show that compliance invoked by adherence to norms makes subjects feel more entitled to demand accountability and trust the government to respect this right to a greater extent. Our findings suggest that raising compliance through appeals to social norms may thus have wider benefits for civic behaviors.

A Granular Framework for Modeling the Capacity Loss and Recovery of Regional Transportation Networks under Seismic Hazards: A Case Study on the Port of Los Angeles. Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center, University of California, Berkeley, CA, June 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.55461/hxhg3206.

Full text
Abstract:
Earthquakes, being both unpredictable and potentially destructive, pose great risks to critical infrastructure systems like transportation. It becomes crucial, therefore, to have both a fine-grained and holistic understanding of how the current state of a transportation system would fare during hypothetical hazard scenarios. This paper introduces a synthesis approach to assessing the impacts of earthquakes by coupling an image-based structure-and-site-specific bridge fragility generation methodology with regional-scale traffic simulations and economic loss prediction models. The proposed approach’s use of context-rich data such as OpenStreetMap and Google Street View enables incorporating information that is abstracted in standard loss analysis tools like HAZUS in order to construct nonlinear bridge models and corresponding fragility functions. The framework uses a semi-dynamic traffic assignment model run on a regional traffic network that includes all freeways and local roads (1,444,790 edges) and outputs traffic volume on roads before and after bridge closures due to an earthquake as well as impacts to individual trips (42,056,426 trips). The combination of these models enables granularity, facilitating a bottom-up approach to estimating costs incurred solely due to physical damage to the transportation network. As a case study, the proposed framework is applied to the road network surrounding the Port of Los Angeles---an infrastructure of crucial importance---for assessing resilience and losses at a high resolution. It is found that the port area is disproportionately impacted in the hypothetical earthquake scenario, and delays in bridge repair can lead to a 50% increase in costs.

Full text
Abstract:
Automated vehicles (AVs)—and the automated driving systems (ADSs) that enable them—are increasing in prevalence but remain far from ubiquitous. Progress has occurred in spurts, followed by lulls, while the motor transportation system learns to design, deploy, and regulate AVs. Automated Vehicles: A Human/Machine Co-learning Experience focuses on how engineers, regulators, and road users are all learning about a technology that has the potential to transform society. Those engaged in the design of ADSs and AVs may find it useful to consider that the spurts and lulls and stakeholder tussles are a normal part of technology transformations; however, this report will provide suggestions for effective stakeholder engagement.

Abstract:
• Energy transition in the transportation sector is indicated by the gradual shifting from the use of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) globally. • The transportation sector consumed 43% of total global energy and emitted 16.2% of total global emissions in 2020. Similarly, the transportation sector in Indonesia consumed 45% of the total energy and contributed to 13.6% of CO2 emission in 2019. • Global EV development and utilization are increasing exponentially, especially in developed countries, and there were 10 million EVs in 2020 worldwide. • China has successfully dominated global EVs, both in EV utilization and manufacturing with 45% global EVs Stock and 77% global EV batteries production. • Geopolitically, the abundance of Indonesian nickel reserves provides Indonesia a great opportunity to be one of the main players in EV battery manufacturing. • With an annual average growth of 6%, the projected motorized vehicles growth in Indonesia will reach 214 million in 2030. The right government policies would make Indonesia become the Southeast Asia EV market hub as Indonesia has the largest automotive sales and production market among ASEAN countries. • Measurable and realistic national EV development targets and plans supported by executing policies such as fiscal incentives and hardware standardization, sufficient EV charging infrastructure, and other supporting infrastructures are key elements that drive successful EV development in several countries. • Insufficient domestic industries and technology, and the absence of policies that comprehensively cover the customers and producers directly to support EV development and utilization in Indonesia, resulting in the achieved number of EVs and EV infrastructures in Indonesia are far from the updated target or even the initial target (RUEN, 2017).

Full text
Abstract:
Pipelines are by far the most important mode of petroleum transportation in the United States because of their remarkable efficiency and low transportation cost. Pipelines carry two-thirds of the energy consumed by our nation and are recognized as the safest and most economical way to distribute vast quantities of oil and gas from production fields to refineries to consumers for a foreseeable future. This sophisticated network of gathering and distribution systems comprises 2.3 million miles of pipelines-varying in size from 2 inches to 60 inches in diameter. Pipelines are vital to a nation's economy and are a significant part of national critical infrastructure. The pipeline infrastructure and the volume of products transported have continued to grow as demand for energy has increased. Over the next two decades, the demand for energy is projected to reach record levels. This increased demand for energy combined with the expansion of the cities and suburban areas will require the pipeline infrastructure not only to expand but to reliably and safely deliver energy services in support of the nation's economy. The United States has a well-developed system for the protection of the public and the environment from the dangers of oil and gas pipeline failures. However, there is always a chance that a pipeline can leak. Pipeline leaks can be dangerous to people, to the natural environment, to public land, and to private property. Furthermore, the tragic events of the September 11 t terrorist attacks have focused the attention on the security of the nation's energy sources and the critical energy and transportation infrastructure systems. Therefore, pipeline security and safety has become a high-profile, national concern.
