Summary

The provided text is not a single research paper but the front matter and table of contents for "Transportation Research Procedia Volume 14," published by Elsevier in 2016. This volume comprises the proceedings of the 6th Transport Research Arena (TRA 2016), held in Warsaw, Poland, from April 18–21, 2016. Edited by Leszek Rafalski and Adam Zofka, the publication aggregates numerous individual studies submitted to the conference, covering a broad spectrum of transportation engineering, policy, and management topics. The content is organized into multiple parts, with the provided text listing titles and authors for Part 1 and the beginning of Part 2. The research addresses diverse challenges within the transport sector, including climate change adaptation, infrastructure resilience, sustainability, and technological innovation. Key themes include the vulnerability of transport networks to extreme weather events, such as the assessment of airport and road infrastructure risks under changing climate conditions. Several papers focus on methodological advancements, such as decision support systems for infrastructure resilience, cross-asset risk assessments, and the integration of life-cycle assessment into cost-benefit analyses. Specific areas of investigation include maritime and inland waterway logistics, with studies on green maritime logistics, ship routing optimization considering wind and waves, and the automation of shipping practices. Road safety and infrastructure management are prominent, featuring analyses of weather impacts on pedestrian volumes, the performance of asphalt pavements under various conditions, and the evaluation of road marking systems. The proceedings also explore urban mobility and public transport, examining topics like urban road pricing in London, Stockholm, and Milan, the integration of public transport services, and strategies for sustainable urban mobility systems. Furthermore, the volume includes research on rail transport, covering the migration to European Train Control System (ETCS), the development of hybrid railway vehicles, and the optimization of rail capacity. Economic and policy aspects are also addressed, including the evaluation of public-private partnerships (PPP) in road projects, the impact of VAT distortions on passenger transport, and the financial strengthening of intermediate public transport services in Indian cities. The collection represents a multidisciplinary approach, combining engineering, economics, and social science perspectives to address contemporary challenges in transportation. As a conference proceeding, it serves as a repository of current research findings and innovative approaches rather than a single cohesive study, providing a snapshot of the state of transport research in 2016.
