In this book, the authors examine such topics as past and future travel demand; the influence of personal and business choices on passenger travel's climate impact; technologies and alternative fuels that may become available to mitigate GHG emissions from passenger transport; and policies that would promote their adoption. While taking into account all of these options, the authors consider how to achieve a more sustainable transportation system in the next thirty to fifty years.

Knovel: Polymers in Asphalt
This review explores the type of polymers used in asphalt, why they are used, where they are used in terms of applications and the benefits they offer to industry and the road user. In particular, the reader will understand how polymers can be used to enhance the functionality of asphalt, that is to overcome deterioration mechanisms by enhancing asphalt stiffness or flexibility, or by making it more resistant to deformation (rutting) caused by traffic.

Knovel -- Vehicle-Bridge Interaction Dynamics
This book is unique in that it is devoted entirely to the interaction between the supporting bridges and moving trains, the so-called vehicle–bridge interaction (VBI). Finite element procedures have been developed to treat interaction problems of various complexities, while the analytical solutions established for some typical problems are helpful for identifying the key parameters involved. Some field tests were conducted to verify the theories established.

Knovel -- Manual for Bridge Evaluation
This manual provides guidelines for the procedures and policies for determining the physical condition, maintenance needs, and load capacity of highway bridges. It has been developed to assist bridge owners in establishing inspection procedures and evaluation practices that meet the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). Supersedes both the Guide Manual for Condition Evaluation and Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) of Highway Bridges and the Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges.

Knovel -- AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications - SI Units (4th Edition)
Based on the load and resistance factor design philosophy (LRFD), this book is the result of a five-year research effort under AASHTO's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 12-42, and a continued effort through AASHTO technical committees. Since the 1st Edition was published in 1994, the provisions have continued to be updated and improved based on continuing research and the experience of the user community.
Knovel -- Constructive Modeling of Structural Turbulence and Hydrodynamic Instabilities
This book provides an original approach in the research of structural analysis of free developed shear compressible turbulence at a high Reynolds number on the base of direct numerical simulation (DNS) and instability evolution for ideal mediums (integral conservation laws) with an approximate mechanism of dissipation (FLUX dissipative monotone "upwind" difference schemes) and does not use any explicit sub-grid approximation and semi-empirical models of turbulence. Convective mixing is considered as a principal part of conservation law.

Knovel Airfield Rigid Pavement - Mobilization Construction - Engineering and Design {EM 1110-3-142}
A rigid pavement is considered to be any pavement system that contains as one element portland cement concrete, either non-reinforced or reinforced. This 1984 manual provides guidance for the design of Army airfield rigid pavement at U.S. Army mobilization installations. This manual is limited to Army airfield pavement design requirements for aircraft during a mobilization situation.
Knovel -- Manual on Subsurface Investigations
The Highway Drainage Guidelines provides a consolidated overview of highway hydraulic design and discusses possible hydrology problems in the following areas: Hydraulic considerations in highway planning and location hydrology; Erosion and sediment control in highway construction; Hydraulic design of highway culverts; Legal aspects of highway drainage; Hydraulic analysis and design of open channels; Hydraulic analysis for the location and design of bridges; and much more.

New From Knovel -- Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering, Volume 12: Hydrodynamics around Cylindrical Structures
Discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment. Describes the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder. The development in the forces is related to the various flow patterns and is discussed in detail. Regular as well as irregular waves are considered, and special cases like wall proximities (pipelines) are also investigated.

New From Knovel -- Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering, Volume 9: Offshore Structure Modeling
This book aims to provide, through its survey of the theoretical and practical aspects of physical modeling, an in-depth coverage of the technology of model testing. Although the main focus is on offshore construction, the text should prove of use to the entire field of engineering, and its breadth of scope should appeal not only to engineers and naval architects, but to scientists interested in structural or hydraulic testing as well.
