CHALLENGES OF TOURISM INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Tourism in present times is considered as a major catalyst for bringing social and economic changes. Tourism has developed worldwide as the thirst of knowledge and enjoying the beauty of different places has become easier with development of well connected transportation systems all over the world. Tourism industry therefore, has emerged as a fastest growing industry contributing immensely to growth and development of an economy. India has a rich cultural and geographical diversity since time immemorial.

Assessing the Mobility and Environmental Benefits of Reservation-Based Intelligent Intersections Using an Integrated Simulator

The connected vehicle research program is a multimodal research initiative in the U.S. that envisions a fully connected transportation system with wireless communications linking vehicles, the infrastructure, and handheld smart devices. This paper designs and evaluates a reservation-based approach to intersection control that is designed to take full advantage of the unprecedented connectivity that the connected vehicle initiative promises to provide. The control approach, which is referred to herein as the “intelligent intersection” approach, builds on the previous work by Dresner and Stone by introducing new features to better account for several aspects of the real-world driving environment. To design and evaluate the “intelligent intersection,” a novel simulation test bed for connected vehicle applications is developed. The test bed integrates a microscopic traffic simulator with a network simulator and an emission analyzer. Using the integrated simulator, the mobility and environmental benefits of the intelligent intersection approach, compared with those of traditional control methods, are evaluated on two case studies: 1) an isolated intersection and 2) a real-world transportation network with multiple intersections. Results show that the proposed control approach offers significant mobility and environmental benefits. For example, for the second test case and using observed traffic volumes, the intelligent intersection reduced the average vehicle delay by 85%, fuel consumption by 50%, and emissions by 39%-50%. The study also demonstrates the utility of using the simulator test bed in the design and evaluation of connected vehicle applications.

동북아 물류거점화를 위한 연안해운 경쟁력 제고방안에 관한 연구

연안해운과 관련한 최근 환경 변화는 남북해운합의서 발효에 따른 남북물류의 증대 가능성과 환황해권, 환동해권의 동북아 연안 부상 등을 언급할 수 있다. 그러니, 연안해운에 대한 국가 정책의 소외는 우리나라라 물류거점화 되는데 많은 문세점을 노출하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하고 외항과 연안간 균형발전을 도모하여 우리나라가 동북아 물류거점화 할 수 있는 방안을 크게 연계수송체제의 강화. 연안해운의 체질강화 및 정부의 체계적인 지원정책으로 구분, 제시하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구결과에 의하면, 첫째로, 연계수송체계를 강화하기 위해 거점항만내에 연안피더 전용선석의 구축으로 연안피더운송의 연계성 강화가 필요하며 둘째로, 언안부두에 화주즐 유인할 수 있는 공동장치장 및 하역설비를 대폭 보강하여 일괄 서비스체제의 확립, 노후 비경계선의 Ro-Ro 선 혹은 고속컨테이너선으로의 대체. 화물선에 대한 면세유 공급과 각종 세제의 실질적인 혜댁부여로 환경 친화적이며 균형있는 외항-연안 물류사슬체계(Logistics Chain System)를 갖추는 것이 필요한 것으로 나타나고 있다. The purpose of this paper is to present the alternatives for improving coostal shipping logistics system to be a logistic hub-nation with a competitive edge. For this purpose, major environmental factors in Northeast Asia and accordingly its effects are analyzed And then the effects of coastal shipping system's development strategy is analysed using Structural Equation Model and Multiple Regression Model. Research results show that three types of coastal shipping development strategy( connected transportation system, structure of coastal shipping system, governmental support policy) will contribute much to being a logistics hub-nation. From the results, some implications are derived as follows. Firstly, environmental-friendly balanced ocean-coastal transport system is required Secondly, a excusive feeder port, Ro-Ro ship & high-speed ship are necessary to establish the one-stop logistics service system Finally, governmental support policy and subsidy(tax-exempted oil & various tax benefits) are required to reactivate lagged coastal shipping system to be a logistic hub-nation with a competitive edge.
