On March 26th, 1923, in a formal ceremony, construction of the Milan–Alpine Lakes autostrada officially began, the preliminary step toward what would become the first European motorway. That Benito Mussolini himself participated in the festivities indicates just how important the project was to Italian Fascism. This book recounts the twisting fortunes of the autostrada, which—alongside railways, aviation, and other forms of mobility—Italian authorities hoped would spread an ideology of technological nationalism. It explains how Italy ultimately failed to realize its mammoth infrastructural vision, addressing the political and social conditions that made a coherent plan of development impossible.

· Provides Intelligent transportation system (ITS) planners and managers with practical tools and methodologies supporting economical and efficient design · Includes new chapters on the most cutting-edge advances in Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM), transportation corridors, coordination of traffic management centers, and evaluation of ITS designs and operations · Examples and cost-benefit analyses drawn from actual projects clearly illustrate concepts · Features methodologies and algorithms for automated evaluation using traffic management center data Intelligent Transportation Systems: Functional Design for Effective Traffic Management provides practical guidance on the efficient use of resources in ITS designs. The author explains how functional design alternatives can meet project objectives and requirements with optimal cost effectiveness, and clarifies how transportation planning and traffic diversion principles relate to functional ITS device selections and equipment locations. Methodologies for translating objectives to functional device types, determining device deployment densities, and determining the best placement of CCTV cameras and dynamic message signs are provided, as are models for evaluating the benefits of design alternatives based on traffic conditions. Concepts for planning various geographic levels of diversion are described. Readers will learn how to reduce recurrent and non-recurrent congestion, improve incident clearance time, , provide real-time incident information to motorists, and use transportation management center data to implement lane use and speed controls that are key to new active transportation and demand management (ATDM) methods. The author describes the processes and algorithms for using transportation management center data to evaluate ITS performance, and offers examples of how states have organized evaluation results into performance reports for use by decision makers and the public. The book focuses on ITS treatments that improve safety and mobility, reduce motorist delays, improve the use of energy and reduce vehicle emissions. This resource will greatly benefit all ITS designers and managers, and is of pivotal importance for operating agencies performing evaluations to justify operational funding and system expansions.

Intelligent Freeway Transportation Systems: Functional Design focuses on the efficient use of resources in the design of ITS. The author discusses the principles of top down design starting with objectives and requirements, and provides guidance for the development and evaluation of functional design alternatives according to cost effectiveness principles. This book describes how transportation planning principles and traffic diversion principles relate to functional ITS device selections and equipment locations. Methodologies for translating objectives to functional device types are provided. Application factors to identify device deployment densities (e.g. number of detectors per mile) as a function of traffic conditions are provided, as are models for evaluating the benefits of design alternatives based on traffic conditions. Methodologies for the best placement of CCTV cameras and changeable message signs are discussed. Design guidance includes the following functions: ITS measures for non-recurrent congestion that improve incident clearance time; Strategies to provide incident information to motorists and their benefits; How ITS deals with information to motorists to assist in reducing recurrent congestion; Ramp metering strategies, their benefits and constraints; Functional design of communications for ITS; Transportation management center functions. Methodologies for the evaluation of ITS benefits to compare alternative designs and assist in the selection of the best alternative are also provided. Intelligent Freeway Transportation Systems: Functional Design is appropriate for engineers and decision makers engaged in the scoping and preliminary design of ITS as well as for university courses on this subject.

(...) , l'étalement urbain combiné à la recomposition des villes remodèle la géographie fabriquant des territoires hybrides, ni urbains, ni ruraux. A partir de l'analyse du cas français, mais considérant aussi l'Amérique, l'Asie et l'Afrique, l'ouvrage étudie les effets conjoints des infrastuctures routières, des lotissments pavillonnaires et des centres commerciaux. Attentif aux conséquences morphologiques, économiques et sociales, l'auteur révèle les convergences planétaires autour d'un urbanisme de secteurs et d'une ville franchisée. Ce qualificatif doit s'entendre dans le sens commercial des villes saisies par les logiques du marketing mais aussi dans l'acceptation domaniale du terme, à savoir la privatisation progressive d'espaces toujours plus vastes. David Mangin dénonce ces environnments sécurisés, de moins en moins publics et gratuits, qui prolifèrent insidieusement en centre-ville autant qu'en périphérie. Il s'emploie ici, (...), à défendre le principe de la "ville passante" fondé sur l'idée d"une moindre dépendance automobile, d'une forte hétérogénéité des architectures et d'une véritables diversité d'usages.
