Imagine that it is struck a severe blow by a large hammer. The shock wave of the impact will travel throughout the mass and arrive at different parts at different times. Furthermore, this shock wave will be reflected from boundaries and regions of nonhomogeneity. These reflected shock waves will affect some portions of the mass time and time again. Occasionally, shock waves reflected from several directions will converge on some internal region to give an aftershock as great (or greater than) the original shock. Such shock waves may persist for a considerable time.","PeriodicalId":219254,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part II)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132947237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If this is one of our primary objectives, I don't believe there is a field in which the gap between the technologist and the application is so great as in the area of urban planning, of which transportation is a part. There's definitely a gap between the person who knows the problem and the person who knows how to solve the problem. The reasons for this gap are historical and complicated. There's no need to go into them at this time, but the gap, I think you'll discover from this talk, very definitely exists and needs to be closed.","PeriodicalId":219254,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part II)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121797437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
