Bridge Engineering: Replacement, Widening, Strengthening, Repair

Published: September 2012 

As the economies of more countries around the world improve, transport infrastructure becomes more important, with bridges being vital links in such infrastructure. However, while new, record-breaking structures are being erected, many highways still rely on ageing bridges, which were not built to take current traffic loads.  Each year many such structures collapse, are closed down or restricted, and recent events have highlighted just how fragile they can be when faced with the forces of nature. Worldwide there are thousands of bridges in need of replacement, strengthening, or repair to cope with the amount of traffic on today’s roads.

Sustainability for Road Infrastructure

Published: September 2012

Mobility is an indispensable commodity, underpinning as it does all aspects of our lives. However, demand continues to increase dramatically and this makes any attempt to reduce its effects on our surroundings a complicated task; simply curtailing mobility is not an option, and so different ways
must be found to lessen the environmental consequences of moving goods and people.

Sustainability for Road Infrastructure, now in its third year of publication, continues to track and report on the latest developments intended in road building, maintenance and operation. This edition will look at the complex policies, legislation and technologies needed to cope with the increasing burdens that growing populations and aspirations place on our world.

Safety & Security for Road Infrastructure - Part 2

Published: October 2012

The importance of investing in road safety measures cannot be overstated. The issue of work zone safety is a particular issue for the sector, with numerous lives lost needlessly through insufficient measures having been taken as well as a lack of care by many. Lives depend on roads being safe to use for drivers, as well as for those working on improving road sections in work zones.

The road safety sector has become a major industry, providing an array of innovative solutions. These encompass traffic management systems for work zones, temporary barriers, crash cushions, road markings, high visibility signs and many other novel concepts intended to protect site personnel and drivers alike.  Major improvements in road safety could be achieved simply by employing available technology. The highway sector however needs to become more pro-active and invest more in safety technology.

Parking & Traffic Management - NEW

Published: October 2012
 
A brand NEW supplement jointly produced by PARKING TODAY and ITS International

To the uninitiated, parking and urban traffic control can appear worlds apart. Certainly, the two disciplines often ignore each other and fail to recognize the synergies which exist between them. The reality is that the two are inextricably linked and common cause exists when it comes to addressing pressing transportation issues, such as congestion and environmental impact.

Parking & Traffic Management is a new supplement which will look at how these two worlds are converging. The technology and strategic/operational aspects will be considered, both discretely and jointly, in a publication which will serve to underline that the many apparent differences are perhaps not as great as they may at first seem.
