Journal of Transportation and Statistics: Volume 8, Number 1: 2005

The Journal of Transportation and Statistics (JT&S) was a periodically issued journal (from 1998 to 2014) that served the transportation community by increasing the understanding of the role of transportation in society, its function in the economy, and its interactions with the environment. In addition, the JT&S provided a forum for the latest developments in transportation information and data, theory, concepts, and methods of analysis relevant to all aspects of the transportation system. The JT&S published original research on the use of information to improve public and private decision making for transportation. Topics included: measuring transportation activity and the performance of transportation systems; quantifying and analyzing the importance of transportation and its consequences; measuring and analyzing transportation trends; advancing the science of acquiring, validating, managing and disseminating transportation information; calculating sustainable energy; and, analyzing data for transportation planning and operations.The papers in this issue are: The Dynamics of Aircraft Degradation and Mechanical Failure; Air Traffic at Three Swiss Airports: Application of Stamp in Forecasting Future Trends; Improved Estimates of Ton-Miles; Spatial and Temporal Transferability of Trip Generation Demand Models in Israel; Governors Highway Safety Associations and Transportation Planning: Exploratory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling; Vehicle Breakdown Duration Modeling; Using Generalized Estimating Equations to Account for Correlation in Route Choice Models; and, Employment in the Airline Industry: Review of Bureau of Transportation Statistics data
