The middle eastern states and the law of the sea

Bibliographic
relates the schizophrenic history of an airline which became the biggest moneymaker of all US commercial airlines but which faced extinction in l%O and 1973; which was very late in converting to jet aircraft and experienced appalling passenger relationships, and yet which provided the greatest single marketing innovation in the history of commercial aviation, the WashingtonNew York-Boston jet shuttle service.
The Transportation Center at Northwestern University, 2001 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL 60201, U.S.A., has released the final report of Factors Affecting the Retirement of Commerical Transport Jet Aircraft, by Frank A. Spencer, 1980, $12.00.
Transportation Regulation, Marvin L. Fair and John Guandolo, Wm. C. Brown and Co., 2460 Kerper Boulevard, Dubuque, IA 52001 U.S.A., 1979, pp. 492,8th Edn. This book focusses narrowly on the legal aspects of transportation regulation and not on broader issues of economics or policy making. In particular the work is designed to satisfy the needs of those practising before the Interstate Commerce Commission and for those wishing to grasp the nature of the authority of the Civil Aeronautics Board, the Federal Maritime Commission and Maritime Administration.
DISSERTATION Unidirectional Trafic flow on Multilane Upgrades, Ulrich Brannolte, Institute fiir Verkehrswesen, Universitat (TH) Karlsruhe, Postfach 6380, D-7500 Karlsruhe 1, Federal Republic of Germany (dissertation available in German as no. 318, Schriftenreihe “Forschung Strassenbau und Strassenverkehrstechnik, Federal Ministry of Transportation, Bundestalt fiir Strassenwesen, Postfach 5 10530, D-5000, K6ln 51, Federal Republic of Germany).
This research deals with the following tasks: collection of traffic flow data, investigations of the behaviour of isolated vehicles, development of a traffic flow simulation model, and evaluation of results from simulation and field data. The field data are mainly used for adjustment and validation of the microscopic computer simulation model, which reproduces two-lane one-way traffic flow

Australian Coastal Shipping, Barry Maxwell Pemberton, Melbourne University Press, P.O. Box 278, Carlton South, Victoria 3053, Australia, 1979, pp. 327, $17.60. In his introduction the author writes that “the aim of this book is to present a description of the growth and location of the Australian coastal and overseas trades. It is not an industrial or commercial history, nor is it concerned with waterfront management or strikes. It is concerned simply with the ships and shipowners of each trade; when they began; what kind of cargo they moved; what changes or modifications to ships and services were made, and when they finished”. Major sections devolve on the regional character of coastal shipping and on shipping activities (cargo, passenger, defence, special) and cover the heyday and decline of the industry. A massive 49 page directory of the more than one thousand major steamships and motor ships ever registered for use by Australian owners concludes this profusely illustrated study.
The Middle Eastern States and the Law of the Sea, Ali El-Hakim, Syracuse University Press, 1011 East Water Street, Syracuse, NY 13210, U.S.A., 1979, pp. 293, $27.00. A survey and analysis of the practises and policies of the Middle Eastern States in relation to the International Law of the Sea. Shelf boundary and island disputes in the Arabian Gulf and joint mineral exploration projects in the Red Sea are reviewed, as are legal issues raised by the controversy about the Gulf of Aqaba and the Straits of Tiran.
ABSTRACTS features in situations ranging from free-flow to congestion. To account for the influence of trucks in the model, their performance characteristics have been observed on grades. These observations have, additionally, lead to a newly conceived truck design standard. Numerous results were also derived from a series of simulation runs. Of greatest importance is the relationship between speeds, traffic volume, percentage of trucks and steepness and length of gradients. Furthmore, sets of design guide charts have been compiled from which traffic service level characteristics can be determined on two-lane two-way roads, especially at gradients. The input variables for this purpose can be the forecasted traffic load (traffic volume and percentage of trucks) on a projected road section. In this way, parallels concerning expected service levels can be drawn easily for alternative vehicle road alignments.
