  6. 9. Public Transportation in a Systems Perspective A Conceptual Model and an Analytical Framework for Design and Evaluation

    Author : Stig Franzén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; control theory; systems design; cybernetics; passenger transport; urban transport; systems perspective; conceptual model; systems engineering; human-machine system; public transportation;

    Abstract : Today urban areas are faced with problems like traffic congestion, air pollution, and limited accessibility and transport policy issues are focused on the "sustainable city of the future". For decision-makers the crucial question is how, with limited financial resources, a system for public transportation should be designed and developed to provide attractive travel and transport services.

  7. 10. Ambient air pollution and transportation noise : how they affect mental health in older adults

    Author : Jing Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Whether environmental factors are associated with mental health issues among older adults remains unclear. This doctoral thesis aimed to determine the extent to which air pollution and transportation noise affect mental health in older adults. We used data from the Swedish National study on Aging and Care-Kungsholmen (SNAC-K). Study I PM2. READ MORE
