Monograph

This Transportation Research Record contains 21 papers on the subject of transportation energy and environmental concerns. Specific topics discussed include the following: the preservation of historic transportation facilities; integrating information technology in efficient transportation decision making; geographic information system analysis of accessibility as an indicator of potential land use changes and of induced impacts on the environment; analysis method for natural dispersion of highway storm water runoff in rural areas; using gas cushions for the measurement and analysis of a hybrid vibration isolation wall; surface retexturing to reduce tire-road noise; environmental justice assessment in racially diverse areas; equity measures and their performance in transportation; environmental justice concentration zones for assessing transportation project impacts; policy perspectives on transportation finance, congestion, and equity; estimating fuel use by idling commercial trucks; in-use fuel economy shortfall analysis using voluntarily reported fuel economy estimates; comparison of buyers of hybrid and conventional internal combustion engine automobiles; analysis model of hydrogen delivery scenario for hydrogen distribution options; urban station siting for hydrogen highway network; systems analysis of hydrogen transition with HyTrans; urban mobility and sustainability in Asia; transportation sector and supply chain performance and sustainability; the Kyoto protocol and sustainable cities; mixed land use for restraining trip generation; and benefits of incorporating environmental sustainability into bridge construction.
