Transport and Ethics
Prof. van Wee draws on extensive research and nearly three decades of professional experience to shine a welcome spotlight on a neglected yet critical area of transportation research and practice: the role of ethics in the ex ante evaluation of infrastructure projects and transportation policies. Aiming more to raise questions and provoke thought than to provide answers, his balanced and systematic treatment of the subject makes the book an invaluable resource one which should be on the shelves and (more importantly) in the minds of every transportation policymaker, planner, and modeler. Patricia L. Mokhtarian, University of California, Davis, US This book on transport ethics fills a clear g...
Transition towards Sustainable Mobility
Reflecting the dynamic relationships between socio-technical behaviour and change, this book presents leading research on the transition process needed to achieve more sustainable transport systems. Focusing on making transition happen, this volume looks at various aspects and factors that are involved in the transition process and their implications for transport policy-making. The concept of Transition Management and how it can be applied to the transport sector is considered in detail, and forms the focus of the first part of the volume. The rest of the book is organised according to the three themes of transport energy use and emissions, the role of information in policy-making, and the evaluation of transport policy. This volume brings together scholars involved in research from various disciplines and countries to discuss the relationships between policy instruments, individual behaviour, institutional practices and the transition towards more sustainable transport systems.
Ethics and Engineering
This book focuses on the ethical issues in engineering that have to do with assessment, design, sustainability and globalization.
Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Urban Economies
'I highly recommend students, teachers and researchers to enjoy reading this set of excellent papers.' – Boris Graizbord, El Colegio de México, Mexico 'It is obvious that cities have long been the focus if analysis by the scholars and practitioners whose writings published in the Kresl-Sobrino Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Urban Economies. The depth and excellence of the numerous topics examined reflects effective networking between the scholars involved, their analyses of approaches, problems and potentials of cities on the numerous continents, and the continuing role of the Global Urban Competitiveness Project in encouraging the development of methodologies and data h...
Highlights of the International Transport Forum 2008: Transport and Energy The Challenge of Climate Change
This publication condenses the main findings of these roundtables held at the International Transport Forum 2008 and provides insight into the research carried out by the Forum in such areas as biofuels, ecodriving, the impact of high energy prices and the effectiveness of fuel efficiency policies.

Serious Games: The Challenge
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Joint Conference of the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Technology, Education, Communication, and the Scientific Network on Critical and Flexible Thinking, held in Ghent, Belgium, in October 2011. The 12 papers in this volume represent extended versions of the 20 papers presented at the conference and selected from numerous submissions. The conference brought together scholars and researchers who study the use of serious games in educational settings from different perspectives, such as instructional design, domain specific didactics, cognitive and computer science.

Microlearning
This book is about the most significant developments in the field of microlearning in the teaching of programming. In particular, the book covers the creation of content and the use of microlearning activities for automatically evaluating programming assignments. These critical component of microlearning represent a significant contribution both in fulfilling individual project objectives and in improving computer programming education in general. The book is interdisciplinary, examining both computer science and education. Specific topics explored include: development of distance courses, creating microcourses, fostering interdisciplinary knowledge, IT, management, and theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of the implementation of microlearning. Additionally, comprehensive analysis of the scientific literature (monographs, articles, proceedings) on the subject of the project and conducted research is provided.
