(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)The World Health Organization (WHO) contends that road safety must be appreciated from the basis of it being a shared responsibility; and has to be based on cooperation and coordination by all the state agencies, general ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)The human is the weakest link in the safety chain BUT, this must be seen against the backdrop that man was not designed to fly. The fickleness of human judgement, the under-developed psychomotor skills to handle an aircraft ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)This paper questions the “official view” that the paratransit sector is inherently part of a vicious cycle and puts an “alternative view” namely that the paratransit sector is an integral part of the urban mobility system ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)The large-scale replacement of unscheduled minibus-taxi services with scheduled bus rapid transit trunk-feeder networks in South African cities, as envisioned in the 2007 Public Transport Strategy, has proven costly and ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)Concrete block paving for roads has been proposed as part of a concept on sustainable infrastructure. In an effort to respond to sustainability and environmental awareness, the use of industrial by-products has been employed ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)The ‘total cost of road traffic crashes’ metric is an important road safety indicator that serves as the departure point for understanding the extent and magnitude of the road safety problem in a country and the stifling ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)Intelligent (or Smart) mobility aims to use technology and multi-sourced data to support the efficient and seamless movement of people and goods through integrated, multimodal, user-focused and sustainable transport systems, ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)One major development in the maritime industry has been the consistent growth of container vessel size over the past 40 years. The rationale being underpinned by the need to generate cost savings for carriers and decrease ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)Worldwide, parking provision is required at minimum rates typically prescribed by municipal ordinances or in national policy documents. Litman (2011) argues that inherent problems with minimum parking requirements, their ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)In South Africa, road traffic models that can assist to reduce road traffic casualty rates by 50% in line with United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety from 2011 to 2020, are implemented under the Traffic Management ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)The current official road pavement design manuals used in southern Africa dates back to the 1980s. In addition, materials criteria in general use are based on empirically derived tests, the majority of which were developed ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)As part of an ongoing effort to explore driver behaviour in South Africa, this research investigates non-motorised transport users as an element of risk in the driving environment from a driver perspective. This research ...
-
(Southern African Transport Conference, 2017)In the past decade alone, unprecedented efforts have been directed towards enhancing intra-Africa trade by diverse stakeholders ranging from governments to regulatory authorities, private sector, global and regional financial ...
