《中国交通报》8月4日报道，近日，国家发展改革委、财政部、交通运输部、商务部、海关总署、国家质检总局联合发出《关于整顿规范进出口环节经营性服务和收费的通知》（简称《通知》），《通知》决定集中开展整顿规范进出口环节经营性服务和收费专项工作，重点整顿规范港口码头服务、口岸检验和查验等工作领域，进一步减轻进出口企业负担，促进外贸稳定增长。

2014 年 2季度，国家继续出台多项政策法规推动交通运输业的健康发展。综合运输业方面，国务院明确表示向社会资本开放铁路、港口等80个示范项目；铁路运输业方面， 2014 年上半年铁路投资规模三次上调，逐渐成为稳定经济的主要动力；水上运输业方面，为规范全国内河船型标准化补贴资金管理，促进内河运力结构调整和水运节能减排， 财政部联合交通部于4月9日印发了《内河船型标准化补贴资金管理办法》。

The Global Construction Equipment market has experienced some difficulties in the past decade due to the global economic recession.

Over the past few years, the traffic congestion on roadways and airways has increased the demand for railway travel. People are finding it more feasible and convenient to travel by train instead of opting for any other mode of transportation. Moreover, railways are considered as a safer and cleaner option when compared to roadways. The increase in demand for railway transport has made it mandatory for railway operators to make their systems more advanced and automated. A smart railway system comprises solutions, devices and components, and services that automate and optimize the usage of railway infrastructure to carry out advanced functions. It has several components such as passenger reservation and information systems, freight operations information systems, railway traffic management, operations and asset management, IP-based security monitoring, communications, ticketing, and railway analytics.

A railway management system is an automatic system that is used in the railways to improve efficiency. Earlier, manual systems were used in railways; this made it difficult to exchange information from the train to the ground, causing a delay in displaying information for passengers. In this era of hyper-urbanization, people want a faster and more convenient mode of transportation. Therefore, the rapid economic and demographic growth across the world is driving the growth of the Global Railway Management System market. In addition, technological advancement is another factor that is propelling the growth of railway infrastructures. Since the Railway industry is one of the major contributors to the economic growth of a country, there is an inherent need for an efficient management system. In this regard, advanced technology will help the railways to upgrade their management and operational systems.

New Large Aircraft (NLA) pose novel firefighting challenges never previously considered for traditional aircraft. Specifically, questions have arisen regarding the applicability of current firefighting protection standards to non-conventional design changes such as fuselage shape modifications, enhanced material compositions, new fuel storage locations, and unique passenger loading configurations. To address fuselage shape concerns, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling strategy was developed to quantify heat transfer to the aircraft for a given aircraft geometry and hydrocarbon pool fire condition. CFD predictions support experimental validation data conclusions showing increased crosswinds amplify heat transfer to the aircraft surface due to enhanced turbulent fuel-air mixing. Based upon the predicted CFD fire plume structure and aircraft surface heat transfer magnitudes, nominal changes in aircraft geometry exposed to similar scale flame and atmospheric conditions pose no extraordinary firefighting challenge. However with NLA carrying an excessive amount of fuel compared to traditional aircraft, NLA have the capacity to create a significantly larger accidental fire threat. Unique fire suppression measures must still be taken to ensure the same level of protection at a physically larger scale.
