Urban Transportation Safety and Security

Omtale

Urban Transportation Safety and Security provide a comprehensive and integrated examination of safety and security in contemporary urban transportation systems. It follows the decision process from performance-based planning, analysis, and evaluation to project prioritization, budget allocation, implementation, and the institutional and workforce capacity required to sustain performance. Resilience and sustainability are incorporated throughout. Case studies and practical examples from Chinese and North American cities, together with evidence from other international contexts, illustrate how safety and security methods can be applied under different urban, operational, and institutional conditions. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, the book offers practical methods for evidence-based decision making and for developing safer, more secure, and more resilient urban transportation systems.
