The transport sector underpins modern society through its movement of resources, goods, services and people, which directly sustains the global economy and peoples’ livelihoods (Robèrt et al., 2017). Although, the inability of the transport sector to develop sustainably has resulted in failings at environmental, economic and social levels that threaten its long-term viability (Schiller et al., 2010). To transition to a more sustainable transport system, there is a direct need for integrated global
Investigating Whether Guildford Has A Sustainable Transport System To help me answer my enquiry questions, I am going to collect various types of primary and secondary data. To answer my enquiry question 'Does Guildford town centre suffer from traffic congestion throughout the day?' I will conduct a traffic count. I will do my traffic count at 3 different times during the day, & do it at 2 different locations. This should show me if there is traffic congestion throughout the day, no just
Abstract-Sustainable transport refers to any means of transport with low impact on the environment, and includes walking and cycling, as well as technology to move people, goods, and information in ways that reduce its impact on the environment, the economy, and society.Ropeways may well provide the most elegant connection between urban centres and passenger transport systems on both sides of the water, while ferries and, possibly bridges, can be optimised for vehicle and goods transport. Smaller
In order to gain a sustainable mobility many actions in the name of Mobility Management (MM), also called Transportation Demand Management (TDM), which defined by Jones [4] as ‘motivating individuals to willingly change to more sustainable transport modes by providing detailed travel information and stimulant and by using marketing techniques focusing on personal travel behavior’ are used. It emphasized the movement of people and goods, not just motor-vehicles, and giving priority to public transit

Furthermore, the car pooling market is a substitute for all kind of public transport (train, bus, cabs, plane,etc).

The solitude of a rainy nighttime walk invokes thoughts of sadness and isolation, in Robert Frost’s poem “Acquainted with the Night.” A short narrative poem has the speaker describing a lonely walk during the nighttime hours in a city setting. The poem is very dark in many aspects, the mood, the night, and the visual and audible observations of the walker. There are thoughts and feelings of loneliness and despair, when reading this poem. The impression of the poem is one of a lost soul who has had
Have you ever watched “Tom and Jerry” when you were young? There was one episode I saw when I was young is called “Heaven Pass”. That Tom is in a dream he tried to gets into heaven, because his whole life was trying to kill Jerry, therefore he could not get in. The only way was to get Jerry sign the forgive Tom certificate then he would be able to get in. From them on I started to imagine where I would go when I die? What heaven look like? One sunny day, I was sitting on a swing branch steering at
and Europe have started expanding into the U.S. they have taken much of the business. This situation is causing U. S. based companies such as Ford and General Motors to lose not only money but market share. It is clear that this situation is not sustainable and must be remedied if these companies are to stay solvent. As the United States and the world as a whole become more urbanized and less rural the demand for automobiles will begin to decline. Where once the idea of taking the bus or other means
recognized universities that would be require some form of transportation service to get around on campus or commuting to the cities (Study in Germany, 2016). Zipcar continues to be the leading choice for universities looking for a convenient and sustainable transportation option that gives students affordable wheels when they want them (Zipcar, 2014). Car sharing is an effective option for campuses looking to reduce parking demand and congestion, as well as the carbon footprint of transportation and
When I examined my travel log the thing that stuck out to me the most was the way that my interaction with space changed depending on who I was with. When I'm by myself I have a pretty basic routine and a very set route I move along but when I'm working or with friends everything changes. I work as a nanny for a family who lives outside the city and when I'm working my interaction with space changes; I go different places, I drive a different car, and take different paths, and even “occupy” a different

The Assassin - Short Story He just lay there, on the wet ground, for hours. He looked as though he was just casually waiting and that it was perfectly normal to lie on the ground. After a few hours it started to rain heavily, though this did not discourage him in the slightest as he just carried on lying there, looking comfortable and content. Once in a while a car would drive along the lonely road and the people inside would stare in his direction but the long grass hid him. He had a
The Problems of Traffic Congestion in Chester The existing problems that Chester faces concerning traffic congestion are numerous and varied. They range from dangerous conditions to frequent delays and occur all over the city but mainly in the City Centre (CBD). A number
It was 9:30 AM when my mother and I left home to go to the windy city of Chicago, where we would pick up my younger brother Evan, at the airport then drive another 45 minutes to the Great Lakes, Illinois. We would watch my older brother Christian, graduate from boot camp and spend some time with him just before we left him again two days later. The starting of the 3 hour and 15 minute trip was uneventful. The first stop of the road trip was at Walmart in town to pick up food along with some Pepsi
“Sameh, do you speak English?” his history teacher asked. At the first day of school in another country seemed to be an unrealistic dream. On one icy and a freezing morning in an NJ town called Keansburg, where he had stayed right after he came from Egypt. It had been clear to all of his teachers that he did not know any English on his first day of school. Where he was introduced to a whole new environment of not just learning but also living. It’s a hard feeling when you fail to communicate with
This is how it all started…. I woke up in a dark quiet car. Slowly I sat up and looked outside “Its night already?” I whispered and looked at my watch. “12 o’clock in the morning?” I wondered with a frown marring my face. “Huh……...we should have left a few hours ago?” I thought curiously, as a sudden realization hit me, as my family and friends; were still inside in one of our family friend's houses. I got out of the car; both hands tucked inside my jacket pockets, I started walking lazily across
warning sign that warned people to not smoke around the area. Instead of going towards the water treatment facility, I moved along the sidewalk to a park sign. The park sign had the name Neary Lagoon in large bright colors. In addition, there were another dog sign above the Neary Lagoon sign that explained the dog policy on the Lagoon premises. After reading the signpost, I turned around to look at the street to see what was happening; there were bicyclists, joggers, dog walkers, and automobiles
I was woke up to a banging at my door. A glimpse at the alarm clock told me it was 7:00 in the morning and I knew exactly who it was banging at my door. Disgruntled and half asleep I stumbled to the door to open it. “What are you doing up so early in the morning Janet? We are on vacation so why don’t you go to your room and go back to sleep!” I said as I slowly close the door in her face. “Come on Tiffany we are in Hawaii, it is to beautiful here to be sleeping in every day. Plus I saw this
On my daily basis, I would consider myself as social transportation passenger / urban cyclist, who enjoys a freedom of observation, looking at other passengers, staff which operates transporting vehicles and/or facilities. But when I am driving my car I have to focus on navigation through the matrix of interconnected roads and signs. Observation experience of other fellow drivers is limited to short glimpses due to safe driving mode. Such a limitation gave a reason to search for other possibilities
I looked up and saw my father. "hello father, what's wrong" I asked. "Were moving so you, need to go pack." Said father. "Where are going?" I asked. "To the U.S." Said father. we finished packing all our belongings. Then, We put all of our bags into a bundle and now were now ready to go. We started to walk to the seaport to get on the steamship. When we all got there we saw the ship and we were all in awe of how massive it was. As we waited to get on the ship we all had to write our names on the
