Megacity Mobility : Integrated Urban Transportation Development and Management
World population growth and economic prosperity have given rise to ever-increasing demands on cities, transportation planning, and goods movement.This growth, coupled with a slower pace of transportation capacity expansion and deteriorated facility restoration, has led to rapid changes in the transportation planning and policy environment.These stresses are particularly acute for megacities where degradation of mobility and facility performance have reached alarming rates.Addressing these transportation challenges requires innovative solutions.Megacity Mobility grapples with these challenges by addressing transportation policy, planning, and facilities in a multimodal context.It discusses innovative short- and long-term solutions for meeting current and future mobility needs for the world’s most dynamic cities by addressing the influence of urban land use on mobility, 3D spiderweb transportation planning, travel demand management, multimodal transportation with flexible capacity, efficient capacity utilization driven by new technologies, innovative transportation funding and financing, and performance-based budget allocation using asset management principles.It discusses emerging issues, highlights potential challenges affecting proposed solutions, and provides policymakers, planners, and transportation professionals a road map to achieving sustainable mobility in the 21st century. Zongzhi Li is a professor and the director of the Sustainable Transportation and Infrastructure Research (STAIR) Center at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT).Adrian T. Moore is vice president of policy at Reason Foundation in Washington, D.C., with focuses on privatization, transportation and urban growth, and more. Samuel R. Staley is the director of the DeVoe L.

Do you think that mobility is expensive, such as with cars and public transportation?
Mobility can be expensive, especially when considering the costs associated with owning and maintaining a car, such as fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Public transportation costs can also add up, especially for daily commuters. However, the overall cost of mobility can vary depending on individual circumstances, such as location, frequency of travel, and access to alternative modes of transportation. It is important to consider the long-term financial implications of different mobility options and explore cost-effective alternatives when possible.

What is local transportation and what is long-distance transportation?
Local transportation refers to the movement of people and goods within a specific area or city, typically using modes such as buses, subways, taxis, and bicycles. It is used for short distances and is often part of a daily commute or routine travel within a local area. Long-distance transportation, on the other hand, involves the movement of people and goods over a significant distance, such as between cities or countries. This can include modes such as trains, airplanes, ships, and long-distance buses. Long-distance transportation is used for travel between distant locations and often involves longer travel times and greater distances.

What is your favorite mode of transportation in public transportation?
My favorite mode of transportation in public transportation is the subway. I enjoy the convenience and efficiency of traveling underground, especially in a city with a well-developed subway system. It's a great way to avoid traffic and get around quickly, and I appreciate the opportunity to people-watch and take in the sights of the city while on the train. Plus, it's usually more environmentally friendly than other modes of transportation.

How green is e-mobility?
E-mobility, or electric mobility, is considered a greener alternative to traditional vehicles that run on fossil fuels. Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the overall environmental impact of e-mobility depends on factors such as the source of electricity used to charge the vehicles. If the electricity comes from renewable sources like solar or wind power, e-mobility can be considered very green. Additionally, the manufacturing and disposal of batteries used in electric vehicles can also have environmental implications that need to be considered.

Cine-Mobility : Twentieth-Century Transformations in Korea’s Film and Transportation
In 1916, a group of Korean farmers and their children gathered to watch a film depicting the enthronement of the Japanese emperor.For this screening, a unit of the colonial government’s news agency brought a projector and generator by train to their remote rural town.Before the formation of commercial moviegoing culture for colonial audiences in rural Korean towns, many films were sent to such towns and villages as propaganda.The colonial authorities, as well as later South Korean postcolonial state authorities, saw film as the most effective medium for disseminating their political messages.In Cine-Mobility, Han Sang Kim argues that the force of propaganda films in Korea was derived primarily not from their messages but from the new mobility of the viewing position. From the first film shot in Korea in 1901 through early internet screen cultures in late 1990s South Korea, Cine-Mobility explores the association between cinematic media and transportation mobility, not only in diverse and discrete forms such as railroads, motorways, automobiles, automation, and digital technologies, but also in connection with the newly established rules and restrictions and the new culture of mobility, including changes in gender dynamics, that accompanied it.

Urban Air Mobility : Intelligent, Safe and Sustainable Systems for Future Transportation
This book is a resource for engineers and researchers to develop intelligent, safe, and sustainable systems for urban air mobility.In recent years, the growth of the world’s urban population has increased tremendously, and it is predicted that by 2040, 70% of the world population will be living in an urban setting.Existing ground transportation will be unable to cope with such an expansion, especially as congestion and over-crowding becomes more common.An answer may be found with the advent of recent technologies such as urban air mobility, which may play a vital role in providing solutions for public transportation. The impact of modelling, analysis and application of intelligent algorithms is very much at the core of the design and implementation of Urban Air Mobility.The various chapters are configured to address the challenges in modelling, analysis, navigation, traffic control, battery efficiency, safety and security in terms of Artificial intelligence techniques.
