Even though logistics consolidation concepts and strategies had been early introduced, inactive policy means and insufficient business models have hindered the actual development and fulfillment of effective logistics consolidation in Korea. This study suggests revitalization strategy for the already-built logistics consolidation centers, private-public collaboration program, and various role business models by benchmarking several Japanese and European cases as well as by conducting actual condition survey in Korea. It stresses the role of government in promoting the use of logistics consolidation centers, building and enhancing the partnership between public and private sectors, and developing feasible projects. Another main outcome of this study is the master plan of logistics consolidation projects in Korea.

Paper describes the advantages of the new ROAD software tool that enhances the ability of engineering students to design roadways in an online and 3-D environment.

In industrialized countries, the number of studies and surveys in the field of urban goods movement (UGM) has increased considerably over recent years. This paper compares the objectives, methods and results in this sector and focuses on nine industrialized countries of Europe, America and Asia. This non_extensive review shows that in spite of different framework methods and models, similar trends emerge at the economic and environmental levels. It is necessary to take into account urban logistics in the broadest meaning of the term. Cooperative action seems to bear fruit providing that information and dialogue take place in the long_term with all the operators involved. The development of intelligent transport systems (ITS) and better management of urban facilities may improve these attempts. We present our viewpoint in order to shed light on research oriented towards the sustainable management of urban logistics.

Report emphasizes how decisions made in November 2008's elections will contribute to the advancements of educational programs that will prepare students to fill the shortage of educational, infrastructure sectors of environment

This report presents guidelines on evaluating and implementing strategies to improve the skills of the transit industry's maintenance workforce to keep pace with evolving technology

Research objective is to recommend effective strategies for recruiting, developing, and retaining high-quality managers for fixed-route and Paratransit systems. Results should serve large, medium, and small urban and rural public, private-for-profit, and private non-profit systems.

The Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics (BTRE) has recently conducted a study of the avoidable social costs of congestion in Australia. Congestion imposes significant costs on society with interruptions to urban traffic flow lengthening average journey times, making trip travel times more variable, and making vehicle engine operation less efficient. The latter leads not only to higher rates of fuel consumption, than would otherwise have occurred, but also to poorer urban air quality (with vehicles under congested conditions typically emitting far higher rates of noxious pollutants than under more freely flowing conditions, resulting in even higher health costs to the community). As part of the investigation of congestion occurrence, long-term trends in traffic within the Australian capital cities were analyzed. These trend analyses form the basis of the findings discussed in this paper.

This report is a summary of proceedings from a policy and research symposium focusing on the links between goods movement, the economy, the environment, and questions of equity. Key issues addressed included: impacts of changes in production, trade, consumption, and congestion on goods movement; impacts of goods movement on health, land, and environmental quality; trends and policy concerns of international trade traffic; public-private cooperation and coordination in goods movement; land use conflicts with expanding ports and terminals; goods movement in rural areas; freight logistics and local impacts of global trade; alternative technologies and energy; emissions regulation in goods movement; and, governance challenges to planning, regulating and managing goods movement.

This paper discusses a methodology to increase the consistency with which urban good innovations and projects are evaluated. The methodology has been developed in France and is based on a detailed examination of 15 projects comparing the wide range of criteria used in their evaluation. Following the discussion of the methodology and a summary of how it was devised the paper goes on to show its application to two projects, one in France involving mail and small package deliveries and the other in the UK involving an urban consolidation centre for retailers. Using the two case studies demonstrates the application of the methodology and also shows some of the challenges in terms of data acquisition. The paper concludes by considering the value of the approach and outlining further research needs.
