  1. 1. An infrastructure of freedom : Atlanta, race, and the struggle over public transportation in the capitalist city

    Författare :Marcus Mohall; Don Mitchell; David Jansson; Theresa Enright; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; public transportation; transit; transit struggles; transportation; planning; mobility; politics of mobility; transportation politics; infrastructure; capitalism; race; USA; US South; Atlanta; Social and Economic Geography; Kulturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis provides a multiscalar analysis of the production and struggle over the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), the main transit system in metro Atlanta. It examines how the actions and visions of the state, capital, and transportation activists intersect to structure how and to what extent transit systems can be organized to realize their distinctive potential to allow urban residents to meet their basic mobility needs.

  5. 4. A Microdata Analysis Approach to Transport Infrastructure Maintenance

    Författare :Kristin Svenson; Lars Rönnegård; Karin Edvardsson; Nasir Gharaibeh; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transport Infrastructure Asset Management; Transport Infrastructure Maintenance; Statistical Modeling; Microdata Analysis; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Sammanfattning : Maintenance of transport infrastructure assets is widely advocated as the key in minimizing current and future costs of the transportation network. While effective maintenance decisions are often a result of engineering skills and practical knowledge, efficient decisions must also account for the net result over an asset's life-cycle. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Smart pavement maintenance and infrastructure operation through digital twins : Case study for Norvik Port, Sweden

    Författare :Julian Dario Rodriguez; Nicole Kringos; Romain Balieu; Plati Christina; KTH; []
