Abstract

Regulatory frameworks on logistics regulations are often opaque, especially in developing countries, because of the complex nature of logistics services. World Bank client countries have faced difficulty finding the issues that hinder them from improving logistics competence. Therefore, [...]

Abstract

For the economy to attain its full potential, the Philippines requires an efficient water transport system. However, this is presently not the case. The domestic shipping industry is characterized by high costs, low quality of service, [...]

Abstract

This report presents the water and climate adaptation plan (WATCAP) developed for the Sava river basin (SRB) as result of a study undertaken by the World Bank. The WATCAP is intended to help to bridge the gap between the climate change [...]

Abstract

Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is becoming recognised as a high quality public transport mode. However, there is little literature available for designers and planners of PRT systems, particularly on the capacity and size characteristics of stations. This article will summarize and [...]

Abstract

Climate change may affect inland waterway transport through disturbances in waterway hydrology: longer periods with strong water swells and drops. To allow fully loaded barges, the water level must be neither too high (limited air draught) nor too low (limited draught). Therefore, [...]

Abstract

The contribution deals with critical assessment of used analytical and graphic-analytical methods for determining the lines capacity and of problems connected to the capacity formulation. Negative outcomes from executed case studies force us to investigate new approaches, which would [...]
