Abstract

"Mobil – agil - flexibel! Seit Jahren wird der Ruf nach mobilen, flexiblen Arbeitskräften laut und lauter - spätestens seit die Dauerhaftigkeit großer Arbeitslosenzahlen nicht mehr zu leugnen ist, gilt (individualisierte) Mobilität als – bislang offensichtlich nicht sehr erfolgreiches [...]

Abstract

The purpose of this sponsored research is to assess the feasibility and the potential value of the hydraulic container pipeline (HCP) as a new mode of freight transport. The tasks of the study involve (1) assessment of the energy conservation value of HCP as compared to other modes [...]

Abstract

Third-party contact with pipelines (typically caused by contact with a digging or drilling device) can result in mechanical damage to the pipe, in addition to coating damage that can initiate corrosion. Because this type of damage often goes unreported and can lead to eventual catastrophic [...]

Abstract

State-of-the-art concepts regarding the planning, design, and evaluation of passenger transportation stations are discussed. The material directs transportation planning teams to search for efficient station designs. The important stages and considerations in a comprehensive terminal [...]
