Impact of infrastructural investment on industrial development
Bibliographic
found to be shared by sets of offices, each concerned with one of four major areas: finance, manpower, commerce or technical constraints. The set of offices dealing with the same area tended to have better rapport with one another, though scattered among different institutions, than did offices handling differing areas within any one institution; indeed, individual respondents showed little insight into either the problems of the other areas or the degree of influence that the others had on their own. Consequently, in dealing with the complexity of the shipping industry, any analysis of institutional effects is best handled by separating out these four areas of activity.
Impact of Infrastructural Investment on Industrial Development, A. Bonnafous, F. Plassard, and D. Soum, European Conference of Ministers of Transport Round Table 25, OECD Publications Center, Suite 1207 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20006, 1975. This report considers the role of transport infrastructures in the industrial development process. It uses economic models and describes their limitations. It discusses the importance of the problem of infrastructural effects and their impact on economic development.
Human Factors in Signalling Systems: Specific Applications to Railway Signalling, M. Mashour, John Wiley & Sons, NY 10016, 1974. In Sweden, in 1968, a Special Signal Committee at the Swedish State Railways was entrusted with the task of reappraising the safety values of the present signalling system and of inquiring into the feasibility of replacing it by a more appropriate one. The major difficulty encountered in the evaluation of the systems was the lack of criteria or a system of elaborated guidelines for the construction of a signalling systemi.e. rules based on human performance aspects. Therefore, it was deemed necessary to investigate the problem of how a signalling system in general should be constructed in order to satisfy human factors requirements-to minimize human errors. This book records the results of that research investigation to discover methods of analysis and experimentation for the provision of rules that can be applied to

the construction of a signalling system or systems on a human factors basis. Passenger Transportation, Martin T. Farris and Forrest E. Harding, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632, 1976. In this textbook the authors have approached their subject in a “systems and problems” framework. Part One is devoted to a discussion of the economic, physical, pricing, and regulatory systems of passenger transportation. Part Two describes the “problems” which flow out of these systems-a marketing problem, an urban problem, an ecological problem, and a policy-making problem. Part Three defines the problem of managing change and discusses the future of passenger transportation.
Transportation for Marketing and Business Students, Paul T. McElhiney, Littlefield, Adams & Co., Totowa, N.J., 1975. This book presents an overview of domestic transportation and traffic management for the student of business administration and provides the layman with a basic description of our transportation system. The author describes the development of transportation and the different modes-rail, freight, water, air and pipeline. A chapter on government regulation and one on transportation economics are also included.
Transportation: Principles and Perspectives, Stanley J. Hille and Richard F. Poist, Jr., Editors; The Interstate Printers & Publishers, Inc., Danville, IL 61832, 1974. This book of text and readings is designed either to supplement one of the basic texts in transportation or to stand alone for a transportation course at the elementary level. The book discusses modes and accessorial users of transportation from the points of view of carrier representatives as well as outsiders; pricing; regulation; national policies; problems of urban transportation; and key elements in a firm’s transportation purchasing decision.
