Charleston, South Carolina, the jewel of the south. A town that time has yet to permeate, where horse drawn carriages still serve as a mode of transportation, resulting in over 4.5 million visitors every year (“In Charleston, S.C., Resistance to Cruise Ships”). At one point those horse drawn carriages would have toted around rich white slave owners, today they tote around any paying customer. Charleston has used its charm to intrigue the world for decades, that's why for the past four years “Travel + Leisure (2014) has named the city a leading travel destination in the U.S. and Canada, and for the second conservative year, the city was ranked first in magazine’s poll” (William). In result to Charleston increasing popularity over the years,…
In the book Port Chicago 50 from the author Steve Sheinkin, the prosecution says on page 118 “this was a crucial distinction - there’s a big difference between “we refuse to handle ammunition” and ‘we don’t want to handle ammunition.’” This was mentioned to clarify the testimony of Joseph Small and it can harm the PC 50 soldiers. For example as stated in p. 118 “With the word “refuse” the list could be seen as evidence the men were planning to defy orders as a group. Without it, the list could be seen simply as the men’s way of requesting a change of duty.”…

Mission Statement Public transportation has its limitations and disadvantages in the South Florida region, Miami alone suffers from its limited routed Metrorail. Even Miami-Dade local buses of Miami are bound to suffer the same fate as drivers do… traffic. Miami is ranked 28th for high traffic congestion based on a worldwide poll by TomTom (TomTom International BV, 2016). The South Florida region suffers from car culture, which means people who live in low density residential areas are dependent on vehicles to travel one to another.…
Lane changing has an important effect on traffic flow. All of the traffic simulation packages have used decision making models in their simulation process so far, and lane change duration models as an inseparable part of lane changing process should be incorporated in the simulation packages in future. Identifying effective variables on lane changing execution can help to produce more accurate models, based on this hypothesis we assessed the effect of gender on lane changing parameters, though this parameter was not significant in our model, but further surveys showed that this two group have a different pattern of lane changing. 17 percent of total lane changes belongs to women so their behavior should not be ignored. Summary results of this…
Introduction West Coast Transit Airline began as a very small company in California and would only charter planes to the nearby Oregon, Arizona and Nevada. This company that started out so small, tripled in size after its first year and has risen to over 10,000 employees. What they are doing now in regards to all the difference sides of business is really working for them and now they need help in developing a good team to manage and complete this project at hand. Throughout this paper you will see different things that the managers will need to do in order to really complete in this project flawlessly and within a timely manner. Effective Teamwork and Analyzation of Team…
The history of the Bay Are Rapid Transit dates back to the year of 1946. It originated not by governmental fiat, but as a perception progressively developing at unofficial assemblies of business and civic leaders on both sides of the San Francisco Bay. At this time period, the Bay was going through a substantial post-war migration to the area and a resulting automobile boom. Because of this, the people of San Francisco debated on an efficient means of facilitating the increased mobbing that was congesting the bridges spanning the Bay area. A joint Army-Navy review Board established that additional connecting link between San Francisco and Oakland would be necessary in upcoming years to counteract the unbearable congestion on the Bay Bridge…
Historically, Florida population became a boom in 1920s. During this time period, Florida was known as “Great land boom”. In the 1920s, people had time and money to invest in new land; Florida also had cooperative government system; job opportunities were high because of real estate and agricultural practice. As Florida's population continues to boom, immigration has become a major factor to Florida’s population growth. As of today, Florida is the third largest state with a population of 20 million people.…
Transportation simulations require a corridor or region-wide traffic network with adequate resolution to properly depict vehicle movements and traffic dynamics. Usually, a transportation simulation or traffic analysis network is a subset of detailed commercial digital road network. It usually only includes higher-class roadways, such as freeway, ramps, highways, major arterials, etc. and excludes lower-class roadways, such as, minor or local streets. This widely accepted practice is partly based on that the local streets generally have no significance in serving commuting traffic in most cities. However, this proposition may no longer hold true in cities with dense network connectivity and the local streets cannot be ignored, like New York…
We focus on the U.S. Great Lakes megaregion, which includes large metropolitan areas such as Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, Cleveland, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh. The dataset consists of a balanced panel based on the monthly data obtained from various sources. Variables measured in this study and the data sources are described in this section. We focus on the time period between 2013 July and 2016 May for data consistency.…
Introduction Fishbanks Simulation is a resource management simulation created by Dennis L. Meadows. Teams play the roles of fishing companies in the simulation and compete with each other, dealing with the variations in fish populations and catches for the purpose of maximizing the net worth. Given three ships and same bank statement, each team has an equal start to make decisions about selling, bidding, and ordering ships, as well as the allocation of ships in harbour, coast, and deep sea. There are three sources of income, including fish sales, ship sales, and interests, while the expenses come from operating costs, ship purchases, new ship orders, and interest charges. Up until present, the ships and catches have been increasing almost 1:1…
One of the most important pioneers for this concept was Arturo Soria y Mata; he was an urban planner from Spain. His concept first appearance was in an article in Madrid famous journal of the time, where Soria tackles the municipal policies of planning, advising a radical measure for the future planning of Madrid. The Linear City concept had as principal idea one strip of 500 meters wide, the long of the strip would be the necessary, by necessary we mean it could be as long as the city would require. In the center of this strip, the main actor would be the train line and tranvia. Main pipes for water, gas, sewage, electricity etc.…

Urbanisation takes place when people travel from rural areas to a more urbanized area in hopes of finding a better lifestyle. Urbanisation can also take place in a rural areas due to an economical and financial development. Urbanisation itself involves many life changes when people decide to move from rural areas to urbanized areas. People experience differences in their lifestyles and go through major changes in areas of their lives such as their jobs, education, and living condition. All of which will be discussed in this essay.…
