Benefits and limitations toward a sustainable road environment during the years of economic recession
(2015)The prolonged economic crisis in Greece in the last 5 years resulted in a dramatic road traffic volume reduction and as a consequence in environmental road traffic noise diminution. This article analyses this issue with ... -
Building on European scientific excellence to develop an educational program on intermodal connections for Latvia and the region
(2017)Economic and social factors, including existing trends in urban population and employment growth combined with urbanization, have led to enhanced consumption and thus, increasing freight flows in the cities. Mitigation of ... -
Cluster Modeling of Driving Behavior Under Fatigue
(2014)A road safety campaign, as one of the measures used to influence road user behavior to follow the driving regulations and to safeguard safety on the road network, may contribute to the reduction of the number of people ... -
Comparison of Magnitude of Actions on Track in High-Speed and Heavy-Haul Railroads Influence of Resilient Fastenings
(2012)In modern high-speed railways the necessity for achieving low life-cycle costs has led to a well-compacted almost undeflected substructure. Applications of excellent quality substructure are encountered in the French network ... -
Data protection in smart cities: Application of the EU GDPR
(2019)Urban growth, combined with the development of digital technology, has led to the recent boom of smart cities worldwide. Smart cities make use of all available information and communications technology in the built environment ... -
Do Road Safety Communication Campaigns Work? How to Assess the Impact of a National Fatigue Campaign on Driving Behavior
(2013)Road safety communication campaigns are considered an efficient strategy for reaching a wide audience. They aim at reducing the number and severity of road crashes by influencing road user behavior. Despite the large number ... -
An eco-efficient and economical optimum evaluation technique for the forest road networks: the case of the mountainous forest of Metsovo, Greece
(2018)The sustainable forest management can be achieved only through environmentally sound and economically efficient and feasible forest road networks and transportation systems that can potentially improve the multi-functional ... -
The effect of railway local irregularities on ground vibration
(2015)The environmental effects of ground-borne vibrations generated due to localised railway defects is a growing concern in urban areas. Frequency domain modelling approaches are well suited for predicting vibration levels on ... -
Efficient urban transportation(s) with IoT devices and robust workers allocation
(2018)During the past few years, the mobile devices and wireless sensors have played an increasingly important role in the evolution of transportations. These devices are able to collect a wide variety of data about a transporter ... -
The egnatia motorway and the changes in interregional trade in Greece: An ex ante assessment
(2009)The Egnatia Motorway, located in the northern part of Greece, constitutes one of the most important, as well as ambitious, projects of the Trans-European Transport Networks programme (TETN) funded by the European Commission. ... -
Environmental noise and air pollution monitoring in the athens ring road ('attiki odos') an important parameter for a sustainable urban development
(2015)Attica Tollway (Attiki Odos), a modern motorway extending along 65 km, constitutes the ring road of the greater metropolitan area of Athens and the main road network of the Attica Prefecture with over 4.5 million inhabitants. ... -
Environmental road & rail transportation noise monitoring. A necessary tool for the protection and rehabilitation of the urban acoustic environment
(2017)In the last 20 years, the increasing development of road transportation networks along with other urban mass transportation networks - as light rail transit - in urban areas has an important influence on the quality of the ... -
Evaluation of road safety level during a recession period: A comparison using safety and economic factors
(2016)The level of road safety of an entity (country, region, road etc.) is estimated using the number of accidents, as well as the rates that take into account the amount of exposure. Despite the interest in studying the ... -
An extension of labeling techniques for finding shortest path trees
(2009)Label setting techniques are all based on Dijkstra's condition of always scanning the node with the minimum label, which guarantees that each node will be scanned exactly once; while this condition is sufficient it is not ... -
Fatigue and fracture behavior of pearlitic Grade 900A steel used in railway applications
(2016)In overloaded railway networks, rail surface defects developed under rolling contact fatigue (RCF) if left untreated, may propagate to the bulk of the rail and become critical for its structural integrity. To avoid critical ... -
A hybrid two-step approach for evaluating the impact of local rail defect on building vibration
(2017)With the development of light rail transit in urban areas, the effect of railway vibrations on buildings and people inside buildings is a growing problem. In particular, urban transit commonly generates large vibration ... -
Knowledge Sharing Strategy as a Key Element of the H2020 Programme: Enhancing Excellence and Innovation Capacity in Sustainable Transport Interchanges (Alliance) Project
(2017)The knowledge sharing among researchers, decision makers and practitioners becomes necessary for understanding new transportation trends and incorporating innovative transportation strategies in urban planning according ... -
Learning assets innovation - Serving the inclusion needs of the socially, intellectually, and physically disadvantaged
(2014)We aim to deploy and validate a novel approach for mainstreaming inclusiveness and accessibility related solutions which can be programmed, distributed and executed in the form of Applications, thus capitalizing on the ... -
Links between network topology and socioeconomic framework of railway transport: Evidence from Greece
(2017)This paper studies the Greek railway network (GRAN) by using complex network analysis (CNA) and empirical approach. The study aims to detect the socioeconomic information immanent to the GRAN's topology and to provide ... -
