Topological Structure of Road Networks
Roads are essential components of a city. Despite their increasing importance in our daily lives, modeling and simulating road networks is challenging due to their dynamic and complex nature. The underlying order and patterns of the seemingly chaotic and diverse physical patterns of roads are still unclear. Furthermore, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relationships between the size, scale, shape, structure, and space of road networks.This book presents the state-of-the-art in computational methods for modeling the topological structure of road networks. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of this topology and provides models, indicators, and empirical studies of road network structures. The book includes six types of structural models and three types of spatial simulation models to help understand the topological structural complexity of road networks. The appendices include several examples of road networks and their universal scale-free patterns.This interdisciplinary book is helpful for individuals interested in spatial modeling, network analysis, transportation geography, and urban studies.

Safety 2.1
Safety practice is undergoing a major shift in thinking but practitioners often struggle to translate its principles into tangible changes in safety practices. In Safety 2.1: The Safety Envelope, author and long-time safety practitioner Dr Paul Reyneke bridges this gap, connecting Safety II theory to the day-to-day realities of practitioners.Through the concept of the 'safety envelope', Safety 2.1 helps practitioners move from today's prescriptive solutions with their focus on individual components and linear cause and effect, to 'Safety 2-thinking' which asks us to look beyond components to their complex relationships and interactions.Operating within a complex adaptive system (CAS) - a concept thoroughly explained in the book - this approach prioritises creating the safest possible environment and conditions for work. It then empowers well-trained, experienced operators to make their own safety decisions based on what is in front of them in the 'safety envelope', a central concept woven throughout the book.In Safety 2.1: The Safety Envelope, you will find: A thorough explanation of the complex adaptive system (CAS) and how it applies to safetyPractical steps for implementing Safety II theory in your workplaceInsights into the importance of understanding the causes of success in safety managementThe language needed to effectively communicate the paradigm shift to others.Unlock the potential of Safety II and transform your safety management practices with Safety 2.1: The Safety Envelope.
Cartography and Explanatory Adequacy
This book contributes to the ongoing empirical, conceptual, and meta-theoretical debates regarding the merits and drawbacks of the cartographic program in linguistic theory. Although cartography has its roots in the study of the left periphery, its empirical scope has expanded significantly over the years and now covers a wide range of domains such as argument structure, modification, and constituent order. The chapters in this volume offer a critical examination of the cartographic assumption that there is a rich array of functional projections whose hierarchical order is fixed and determined by Universal Grammar. They discuss the nature of these cartographic hierarchies and their relation to the central theoretical goal of explanatory adequacy: are functional hierarchies an irreducible property of Universal Grammar (hence constituting part of the "residue" beyond the scope of principled explanation), or are they emergent, deriving from independent principles that do not require a further enrichment of Universal Grammar?
Translating Systems Thinking into Practice
Systems thinking tells us that human error, violations and technology failures result from poorly designed and managed work systems. To help us understand and prevent injuries and incidents, incident reporting systems must be capable of collecting data on contributory factors from across the overall work system, in addition to factors relating to the immediate context of the event (e.g. front-line workers, environment, and equipment).This book describes how to design a practical, usable incident reporting system based on this approach. The book contains all the information needed to effectively design and implement a new incident reporting system underpinned by systems thinking. It also provides guidance on how to evaluate and improve existing incident reporting systems so they are practical for users, collect good quality data, and reflect the principles of systems thinking.Features Highlights the key principles of systems thinking for designing incident reporting systems Outlines a process for developing and testing incident reporting systems Describes how to evaluate incident reporting systems to ensure they are practical, usable, and collect good quality data Provides detailed guidance on how to analyze incident data, and translate the findings into appropriate incident prevention strategies
