Advances in Maritime Technology and Engineering comprises a collection of the papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Maritime Technology and Engineering (MARTECH 2024) held in Lisbon, Portugal, on 14-16 May 2024.
This book offers a novel explanation of the transformation of London's transport from a free market to a public corporation rooted in social and political legitimacy rather than economic rationality.
The extant corpus of research on supply chain sustainability in the Arctic exhibits a conspicuous neglect of the social dimension, rendering it the most underprivileged among the three pillars of sustainability.
The damaging environmental impact of urban transport, as recognised by the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, is a worsening global problem that needs to be tackled with local solutions.
The vast expansion of transportation systems on land, sea and in the air throughout the twentieth century has allowed for the development of economic, social and political connections across the globe undreamed of by our ancestors.
In recent years, transportation research has seen a gradual shift from trip-based, via tour-based to activity-based models, in an effort to capture the true complexity of travel behaviour.
This book takes an interdisciplinary, institutional, and historically informed approach to the economics of transport, providing a more nuanced and complete understanding of human transport choices, individually and collectively, and the related choice of location, including the formation of cities.
Presenting an empirically rich account of life as a pilot, this book explores the work experience of commercial airline pilots who face existential threat from artificial intelligence.

As technology continues to reshape global industries, the maritime sector faces profound changes with the emergence of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS).
The global crisis of road traffic fatalities and injuries has remained an ongoing challenge, plagued by inconsistent estimation methods, data gaps, and underreporting.
